People really have forgotten how much of a worky ticket you used to be on here.

Just a quick reminder that Heron loves a good WUM sesh. Either way, I'm not at the match so my stream will likely miss whatever nonsense the PL have planned pre-match.

Maxi hasn't been full-on Samsoned then.

He's the fucking man.

He's only 17 in the clips? Bloody hell. Seems like his potential might be scarily high. Hopefully we get him and a few more and we see the development of a genuine talent pool beneath the immediate first team.

2 in 2 for Espanyol.

What a plonker. Really hoping it all goes tits up at Chelsea, even more so than usual.

Would likely look class if it was just white that little detailing to the sleeve and the edge of the shirt. The shoulders though, howay. They couldn't have made it look more like a training top if they tried.

It's horrendous. A national anthem should celebrate what it means to be British (or English for that matter), not glorify the unearned birthright of our head of state. And if there was a god I'd be asking him to save a fair few people before he got to the monarch.

It works against him sometimes, like when he cannoned it off his own face in the box last year. If he had a touch more composure in the final third he'd be absolutely devastating (more so than he already is). That highlight reel is a joy to watch. At one point he chests the ball about 6 feet above his head and collects it. I seem to remember him winning an aerial duel against Tranmere with his chest and the ball nearly left the atmosphere.

You're a strange fellow.

She's already had a round of fixtures postponed as a mark of respect, which for my money was far more than was necessary. As for Charlie boy, the ownly Kings I'm interested are named Eddie or Kevin.

Didn't that also happen yonks ago when Ashley took on their website? I seem to remember getting emails from them. Reckon they've imported the old mailing lists from back then?

Wonder if he could fill in at DM?

Always wants the pass, it's really refreshing to see. Bruno will love him. I hadn't realised how impressive his cameo was until I watched the extended highlights. Has to get at least half an hour next weekend.

Get ASM and/or Bruno back, get Isak up to speed and we're laughing.

If it's the same one I remember, I thought he'd misjudged that throw before it hit the deck and bounced into Fraser's path. He'd judged it perfectly.

West Ham's is worse than ours, but there's not a great deal in it. There are no plausible explanations beyond gross incompetence or corruption.

Backing the right man for a change. He's absolutely brilliant, like. I thought he'd be a marginal upgrade on Dubs, but he's already far surpassed my expectations. It's a shame the T-rex marra seems to be doing well at the moment, because I'd love to have Pope at the WC as England's No. 1.

BuT HoW LOnG HaS EDDiE goT?!?!

Just watched the incident back for the first time since seeing it in the ground. Fucking hell!

10 years?

I had a conversation with two Palace fans in the Tyne Bar a few weeks after they got him. Did the same helpful thing you tried to do and predicted exactly how it would end. They gave me the old deluded Geordies nonsense and told me how wrong I was.

Had Miggy done better with that through ball in the first half he would've been in on goal. I was gutted for him.
