The Prophet

Given how guarded Howe usually is, I'd be interested to know his reason for making this public. Which ever way you slice it, it's not a positive for Gordon.

Still think that's highly unlikely for a few years yet.

Impossible, Howe wants total control over these things.

I bet there's a few at the club who regret not cashing I in him when Liverpool were paying up £70 - £80 million. Wouldn't have had to sell Anderson or Minteh either.

The cricket episode is excellent.

Fair.

He's also got a small, injury hit squad, trying to guide them through their first European campaign mind. They looked knackered again yesterday.

Decided by Twitter users.

Mad that 15% are gasping for this kind of instability.

He went early and incorrectly with Fletcher until the end of the season.

Orstein mudded.

A door creaks open. TCD appears...

What a mess. Succulent.

His disdain for Ryder won't ever be not funny (skip to 09:48)

Lovely.

4 points between 5th and 14th.

Better today, but still not at his best on the ball.

He was good, buy I laughed when he pulled the ball down on his chest with no Palace player him and just slid it straight to one of them.

We've had plenty of recent snoozefests with Palace. It's usually a biannual thing.

Very low quality game so far. We've probably just about shaded it, but not much in it. The ref has been abysmal.

I don't think anyone disputes it's under the laws of the game, its mow that the laws are utter shite.

Ah yes, his shoulder was off, giving him an enormous advantage.

I'd argue the same about Schar. I know we can all be guilty of hyperbole on here, but he had some absolute stinkers last season. Same for Botman this term I guess.
