Paninistickers

Yeah, agree. Though that's something that's easy to fix. I've heard / read several people that are cricket fans struggling to follow what was going on with those garish slidometer things. This hundred franchise auction is potentially showing up the cracks in the system though. The two London franchises get big crowds and have the brand appeal to foreign investors. Birmingham and Manchester at a push. The disinterest in Glamorgan, Southampton,. Nottingham and Leeds (from both fans and investors) is noticeable.

So glad this got mentioned. Essentially a carbon copy of THE Gordon Banks save v Pele. He actually pulled off a great save in the play off final too just after half time from that (very good) winger of palace whose.name.escapes me But the Stoke save was the best I've ever seen..

As much as I'd like to celebrate this, the Olympics whacked it out the park. However, I can't quite work out who watches it, regardless of the viewing figures. It's not cricket fans (well,.maybe 20% of cricket fans follow it,.at best) And it's not supporters of the clubs, as they haven't got any. It won't be kids either, as kids simply don't watch TV with a box of maltesers.and a glass.of milk anymore.

For 13 quid Inc postage, you can't go wrong. If you are that fussed about the wash cycle, buy 2 or 3!

Revenge can be a long time coming in football. Years ago, Trevor Francis as Palace manager inexplicably took Ade Akinbiyi off our hands for more or less only a 1 million loss. To give the younger forum members some context, without hyperbole, that is the equivalent of Palace taking Ward off.our hands now and paying us a couple of.million for the pleasure The Akinbiyi transfer almost beggared belief at the time.

Cottee I accept. The other two,.nope. I'd liken the signing to Danny Cadamarteri. Dion Dublin maybe. David Connolly. It's an absolute shocker whichever way you spin it.

Would prefer it the other way around. Mavididi is miles ahead of BdcR...ok, that's just my armchair punter opinion, but he looked it too. The difference was palpable

Not being wise after the event, but it was absolutely baffling at the time. A relegated club on its financial knees with three highly paid strikers (all with PL goals) on the books....and we sign an unknown kid from Everton and as a double whammy, rescue Everton's own financial woes at.our expense.

BdcR playerd 80 mins, Mavididi played 10. I'd call that ahead. When Mavididi came on, the difference between him, BdcR (and Vards tbf) was light years..

It's tragic. I really want Cooper to work but that's Ward ahead of Iversen (unforgivable) BdcR over Ricky, Mavididi and Kasey McAteer Soumare ahead of McAteer and Ricky Ayew It's heartbreaking tbh

Just plain bad manners. Like starting your dinner before everyone has theirs. Selfish, unintelligent, uncultured, disrespectful, ill mannered behaviour. Apart from that, it's OK.

The game would've been over after 20 mins, like last time v Spurs during Ward's previous, calamitous, relegation causing run. I find it extremely worrying that Ward was on the bench ahead of Iversen last night. I've no personal truck against Ward, but if he ever steps foot on the pitch to represent us again, I'll leave the stadium. I can't and won't watch that agony again.

My point was you can't just isolate a player's weaknesses ignore their strengths and deduce a net gain. Wilf last night won two defensive headers from corners and cleared off the line from another. Ideally the answer is to play twelve men. But unless you are one of the big five, that wouldn't cut it.

Yeah, but that's to look at in isolation. How many interceptions and tackles would Wilf make compared to Skipp? Wilf's Inspector Gadget telescopic leg wins the ball were often he has no right to win it.

💯 Excruciating isn't it?

There's a middle way tho. Mads was kicking long and we surrendered possession immediately. We need to have a pattern drummed in to keep possession from restarts. We looked devoid of coaching)tactics in that respect. I don't think we used (or trusted) Vesty anywhere near as much as we could last night. He's integral.

I'll be horrified if BdcR starts regularly. Seems a nice lad and honest and deserved his applause....but we need more than just good attitude and work ethic In fact in terms of attitude, work rate and ability I'd rate Mavididi (light years ahead) Ricky and on his last 10 mins last night, McAteer all ahead of him on all counts

First half a complete waste of space with Ricky and Mavidi sat with splinters. He was as ordinary as ordinary can be second half. Not bad, just kinda competent. He got - and deserved - a decent round of applause but we can do mikeis better

I think playing in his preferred position was always gonna help, rather than that weird LCB role of Enzo He's our best defender by mile

Very very strange. Wonder if he has struggled to meet his fitness metrics or something like that Id play him ahead of Fatawu, BDCR for sure. Or instead of Wilf. Amazing tbh Still, as someone says, it's a long season and he'll show what he's made of.

Be better off with Bobby Davro up top

Seeing as we are likely to be 6-8 points down, we are gonna have to win some non 'must win' games to stay competitive. I think playing an undercooked Spurs at home is as good a chance as any of sneaking an unlikely win. Remember when we beat Liverpool with a full reserve team, 48 hours after our previous match and Hamza at centre half? Lots of effort, bit of luck and it's 3 points

I see it as buying membership, rather than buying a season ticket. I go.maybe once a season and that will probs remain the same.

He's preaching to the converted there. As a member of the club, that comes.with obligations. Ask (demand!) the current membership to find one new member each (or consider buying a second membership if you can't find a second member) . At a stroke the membership is doubled. The club need to convert the armchair punters,.like me. Years ago I think it was Nico who said although our crowds were small, there were thousands.who follow us on Teletext. It's very true. Fwiw, I will sign up for 2025.
