Always liked him as a player, never caused any issues off the field either and at his best he's a great striker, hence the England caps which were fully deserved. He's leaving us because he doesn't play often enough? Fine. No issue there. But on the flip side we should be getting rid of him because he isn't available to play often enough.

Wish I could have a day off work every time I feel stiffness in my groin.

Shades of Schmeichel vs us back when they jammed it 1-0 at St James' all those years back...

Playing with 10 men is a bold strategy like.

Reasonably happy for Palace. Certainly not annoyed at them winning a bigger trophy when until just a few months ago I'd resigned myself to never seeing us win anything in my lifetime. This season has been the best ever in my 35 years of following us, and the achievements of another club certainly aren't going to do anything to dilute that.

Wouldn't be surprised if Man U welly one into their own net if Chelsea can't score, got to keep the cartel clubs in the money league.

Spurs need to improve significantly to be wretched.

Don't think there are two more predictable results than Man U and Spurs losing tonight.

That's two more than I'd recognise.

This isn't true. He paid close attention to what happened on the pitch. Our stated aim, as said by the club in fans' forums and actually written down in the minutes, was to exit the cup competitions quickly because winning a cup might cause us to get relegated. Meanwhile doing 'well' in the league (aka comfortably avoiding relegation) meant no investment was needed, or better still he could sell some players. He was very concerned with what happened on the pitch, just it was entirely to our detriment.

Did you buy your house for cash, or was it, like me, borrowed at way more than 1.7x my salary, over a vast period, with the majority of everything I pay being interest?

*Sensible chuckle*

I struggle to care about this lot one way or another, but it would be pretty amusing if they got beat and dumped out in front of their only full house since we beat them.

We're 40 years on from it though. Most of their fans probably weren't even born then. Also if you think that had the miners won, we'd still have viable pits there you're bonkers. All that would've happened is the can would have been kicked down the road a few years. But as I say for me the biggest thing is you're angry at fans who almost to a man had nothing to do with it. For me, seeing villa and Chelsea fail is far more important. Just my personal opinion though.

This. Couldn't possibly care less about what happened during the miners' strike or whatever reason I'm supposed to hate them any more than I'd hate Germans for WW2. It's no longer relevant. Infinitely rather see Chelsea and Villa fail.

If Arsenal don't beat Liverpool, and if we beat Arsenal, we finish second if we win at home against Everton. Lots of 'if's there, but second place could be in our own hands by the end of today.

How about this nice, simple, clean design? As well as being simple and clean, it also features a gentle nod to our new ownership structure.

They were everybody's cup final (Or at least a big game) for the first season in L2.

It's not so much about this or indeed any particular single game, but just our general policy is "no rotation". I wish we rotated a bit more. Just an observation, not a massive criticism

Hard to criticise when Howe does so well but I really do wish we'd occasionally rotate. Must be fairly frustrating knowing you'll never get a start until someone gets injured, plus we never surprise the opposition manager, they know who we're going to play every week.

(On the grounds anyone has escaped "goatse", I should add that googling that at work is the fastest way you've got to immediately terminating your employment.)

I can't see past the unintentional Goatse.

Yep, that triggers me too. And back in the day when I worked for Orange I'd get people calling up for their 'PAC Code'. Well they all got 3 minutes on hold before I even dialed the right department.

As someone easily triggered by RAS Syndrome, the biggest crime in that thread is everyone using the term 'PAT Testing'.

Sounds like that week Nissan will be able to pump out a few extra Jewks.
