I see paddy was one of the players who had to pull them apart. Oh dear, can only be good for us, that and the fact that Silva, and Balotelli are both injured and won't take part in the game.

Charlton have just got new owners which presumably has influenced things. Denis Wise tipped to take over.


Palace after a new manager of course as well, can't say I enjoyed the trip to Millwall on Saturday, (always a lovely bunch down there)the players didn't show much fighting spirit in support of Burley. Beat Preston yesterday in a very poor game with Steffen Iverson getting the winner and man of the match on his debut.


Not sure who I want as Palace manager. If we were in a better position would like to see Sean O'Driscoll or Eddie Howe but will settle for Sir Steve until the end of the season.

I used to go to Charlton a lot, and they're my second team. It's all gone very wrong. They dropped out of the prem in the worst possible year, and lost out on the big parachute payments. As a result, things went from bad to worse. Can't see them being anywhere near the prem again for a long time. The Valley is a lovely ground to watch a bit of football.

I also used to go there a lot, and it is a nice place to go. I thought they'd turned the corner after they redeveloped the ground and got into the Prem, very sad to see whats happened to them.

From the minute by minute on the Guardian last night, Fulham vs West Brom, even has a local relevance although I nearly put it in the aspirational supermarket thread.


"Fulham corner. Hangeland rises well in the middle and is basically punched in the face by Carson, who misses the ball and instead clumps his huge Norwegian head. This is apparently fine though. Back down the other end West Brom carve out a glorious chance for Brunt between Dorrans and Odemwingie but mysteriously he fails to get a shot in and it's cleared. Dennis Johns is bringing down the system from the inside: "This is the most middle class thing I've ever heard anyone say: I was in Stoke Newington the other day (I wish it had been East Dulwich, but that would have been too perfect) and I heard a young lad of about 5 or 6 say to his mum, "Mummy what are baked beans?" She pondered for a moment and replied, "Well, they're a bit like gnocchi." And he accepted that."

Sorry Jah, and Keef, but why is there this amazing faith being put in Roy Hodgson? I really don't understand it.

He has experience of big clubs (Inter Milan for one) has been an international manager, won trophies and league titles around Europe (OK Switzerland) and took a small club (Fulham) to their highest ever position in the their history (First Division/Premiership) and got them to a final of a major European trophy beating top teams like Juventus along the way. Anything else Mac while you're at it? Or are you still peeved that your beloved Martin O'Neill didn't get the job?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
