I can't see it coming back anytime soon. The police and local authorities don't want it and politicians won't take the risk. Nobody gets prosecuted for being too cautious. The enjoyment and right to choose of fans and the atmosphere and attractiveness of matches are secondary to covering your arse. ...

Following the principle of 'me enemy's enemy is my friend' I rather any other club won the league rather than the Scum. I hate Manure and I hate what's happened with Citeh but both are preferable to me. If the worst really did happen the only possible silver lining might be that it would cause suffi...

If you put yourself in RvP's shoes: your at the top of your game, probably as good as any striker at the moment, you want to win things........why would you stay? I'm sure he likes London, is settled with his family, has a good degree of loyalty for the club and AW (and we've kidnapped his son) but ...

Henry on the wing would be ridiculous given his lack of pace. I'd love to see us buy Hazard but if we're not going to then why not change formation? Our wide players have delivered very little this season and, seeing as we don't attack at speed anymore' why not change? A diamond in midfield has seen...

TH has blotted his copybook in my opinion. He's here for less than two months. It shouldn't be up to him to tell the players to applaud the crowd and he shouldn't have a go at fans who have watched that dross all season, seen us lose two away games against mediocre opposition after taking the lead a...

If we accept your assertion that Arteta and Kos have been good signings then I think AW had done OK, although both were subjected to a lot of abuse on this forum for their early performances (including from me). Arteta started off in a more advanced position but didn't play well, imo he has added a ...

I think that the only hope we have at the moment is for a BIG signing (or preferably two). Not just because we need more quality, but because the club, players, fans etc need a lift. A Xhaka, Goetze, Podolski, Hazard would fit the bill. AW is an intelligent man. He must know we are in danger of impl...

There seems to be widely varying opinions of what constitutes 'losing the dressing room'. From most of what I see and hear I suspect most players like and respect AW (and not just because they're rich), but I wonder whether they still believe in him. He has looked forlorn for much of the season and ...

I don't think I've felt this pessimistic about a game since the 70s. We went to Old Trafford with novices at fullback, against a Utd whose strength is on the wings, so did AW plan cover for them. No, he did the fucking opposite and we got shafted. I believe we can outpass them and if Arteta and TV a...

1. My Grandad was a massive fan. His Dad took him to his first game prior to WW1 when we were still south of the river. My Dad was a not very keen Palace fan, so lucky escape there. 2. First game Liverpool mid-60s. Not sure of year or score. I think it was 0-0 but the whole experience was a bit over...

I think that the embarassment factor plays a big part. Robbie Fowler went from club to club after leaving Leeds but Leeds continued to pay most of his massive wages. A prolonged testament to managerial and Board stupidity. While many on here would think it money well spent to pay Squillaci 40k a wee...
