' It's absolutely devastating. Their career

I knew him couldn' t say enough good

things about him. We think of football as being

important, but it' s not really."


Spot on.


Move on nothing to see here.

Wow, Huge has his own bot!


Harry's warning to the FA not to announce the new England boss until that Premier League season ends sounds like it's a done deal - expect to see a lot of foreign managers suddenly discussing their life long love of the Lilywhites in the press.

Atticus, until this week following Palace was never boring, usually stressful and often disappointing and I often felt quite guilty for introducing him to the team! As I type this he is watching the Carling Cup quarter final again having been at Old Trafford for the match and for the umpteenth time has reminded his dad and I that we are never to delete it from the hard drive!!

Good idea! Going to see a local team feels really old fashioned sometimes and my son is often spotted by friends walking home from Selhurst Park with his mates and a bag of chips - which explains why it can take him forever!

Only 57, how tragic. Tall and elegant on the pitch if I remember correctly.


Plaesed with the 4 nil away on Saturady, especially as the Arsenal are a one man team according to the "expert pundits". 4 different scorers. Say something pundits.

Well it's about time someone else chipped in with the goals for Le Arse. They'd been looking like a one-man band of late and it did make me wonder where the goals would come from if Van Persie got injured. Face it though, it was only Wigan and unfortunately - for at least they try to play football unlike Stoke City - they look doomed to relegation. Have to say though that Le Arse have struck a rich vein of form in the Premiership since they got beaten by Tottenham Hotspur. :))

Ah yes the hand of Van der Vaart doing his best Maradonna impersonation. Still personal prefernces aside, still can't see anyone troubling Citeh, but history could make a fool of me much like it did to the manchester based bookmaker

that paid out on Man Ure to win the league only for the Arsenal to pip them at the post. Ah yes, I remember it well.

That's the spirit, took my son up to Man Utd last week and he loved it. All of his friends support teams but hardly ever or never see them because it's either too expensive or the team is hundreds of miles away. Season tickets for under 10's are free at Palace next year.


Credit to the many Utd fans coming up to Palace fans after the game last week and saying well done, you deserved it. Changed the opinion of a fair few about Utd fans.

If Andy Carrol is worth ?35 million, Dempsey must be worth ?50 million!!! Mind you not sure what his problem was with Bellamy. While I'n not Mr. Bellamy's biggest fan, I couldn't see anything wrong with his challenge on Dempsey.


Carrolls inclusion threw the balance of the team out. It's also worth remembering that Craven Cottage isn't the easiest place to go and get a result, they aren't a bad side.

Yes, but Carrol can drink lots of alcohol and beat up girls. That's why Liverpool paid ?35 million for him. Next come the human cannibal called Suarez. Then Bellamy with his expertise with the golf clubs. Yep, Liverpool does have an interesting selection of strikers. Well worth the money. :-S

UDT in having a dig at Liverpool players shocker!



Like they're worse as a bunch than any other lot!


RE: Bellamy, I've slated him in the past, and he has acted the tool, but dare I say it, he seems to have grown up a bit... (famous last words)

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
