Lest we forget, Levy's suggestion was to build a football stadium at the site, and upgrade Crystal Palace. I still think that seems like the best idea.

And? ...it still bugs me that West Ham were allowed to ignore FA rules: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/leyton-orient/9956997/If-West-Ham-move-into-the-Olympic-Stadium-Leyton-Orient-will-surely-suffer-a-slow-and-painful-death.html

...and Leyton Orient is just off the top of that map.

Makes more sense for nobody to give even the faintest fuck tbh.

I'm obviously happy we're building.up from the bottom with cheaper, younger players for the most part - but there's a little bit of me that's just a teensy bit jealous about these ludicrous amounts of money being spunked about.

Possibly, but I thought the most delusional bit I took from that was the suggestion that you guys rate him at 35M .

I remember when that green Astro was gravel pitches #oldguy #Mick.

Offering season ticket holders pretty good deals if they commit to all three group games. Supposedly three-game group stage packages for between 70 and 150 quid...which also gives you priority for later stages if we get lucky. That's pretty damn good, particularly with concessions being 50% off. It should give us a bit of an idea about interest in tickets for the new stadium too.

Sadly, I agree. Really? Nothing specific really, just a gut feeling. Guy who got released by Feyenoord, did OK at a small club, had one good season at the top(ish) level. I've not really seen enough of him to judge, and he's clearly got great character - which Poch likes - but we'll see. N'jie and Son haven't exactly set the world alight yet, and I fear he may go the same way.

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this one...but the Poch vs Pardew comparison was particularly amusing: http://theeaglesbeak.com/2016/07/12/can-palace-players-provide-england-spurs/

Sadly, I agree.

Surely there is now enough evidence for a lifetime ban from football.

Omg, is that some kind of record at that age. Gonna be off again when Pardew ruins him. Wildly disingenuous, that - they're pretty much all loans. He joined us - his local club - at the age of eight, and we only sold him last year, at the age of 27 24. I think he's making a mistake, mind.

Well the only ones he's got are I and A, Ian.

Remember arsenal's mural? I hope Spurs do something similar. Jeez, seeing that makes me feel old (because I am).

The single biggest problem in this team is that one or more of Hart, Smalling and Cahill is guaranteed to drop an enormous bollock at least once a game. Generally ending in a soft goal.

Might as well play 1 at the back for craic then. We still need to play our best team, we're in a tournament. France rested players tonight despite knowing that a defeat would have seen them have a very tricky tie against either Germany or Poland. I don't have too much of a problem with it actually. I reserve the right to change this opinion at 10pm on Monday. Agreed . It's a tourney at the end of a long season, with a number of games played in quick succession. You give some players a break, while getting others up to speed. I'm all for it tbh.

Great atmosphere.

I love when teams live up to the stereotype . Like, say, Portugal being wildly disappointing.

Most Italy performance ever.

We really are a bunch of cunts, aren't we?

I'm not too worried. As long as we win this, we should go through. By the next round, Sterling & Kane will have either improved or been dropped. I think this line-up is pretty good, but the better sides will not be scared.

Kane looks pretty much done.

Oh Sterling, you absolute cunt .

I'd say that was an anti-climax, but it was only ever going to do that .
