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?

      Planning application - new Underhill Rd residential development

      By ArchieCarlos · Posted

      Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request

      Is Peter Mandelson toast

      I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.

      Is Peter Mandelson toast

      By Insuflo · Posted

      And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.

      Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.
