I think West Ham will go in freefall financially if they don't get up so I'll take 2nd whatever the football's like - fairly average but probably about the best we can hope for with the players we've got (plus a fair few injuries). Getting stuffed playing pretty football gets as boring after a while and it's a long slog out of this division. If it wasn't for two shoddy injury time goals we'd be just a point behind Saints too.

I've been to see the Hammers 5 times this season (yes I know, even after spitting my dummy re Allardyce) and it ain't pretty. Everything centres around Nolan, with pretty and ineffective passing around the fringes before the inevitable hoof to an isolated Cole/Carew with Nolan picking up the knock down. This is how it's going to be for us all season. I know its a tough league and Prehistoric Sam will probably get us up but for now I'm just glad its kids for a quid regularly so I can use my kids as an excuse to watch this stuff.

Disappointing loss for Leeds there. A draw would have been fair. We had more possession and chances throughout but Brum hit well on the break and always looked dangerous when going forward. I'm happy with our current form though after a terrible start to the season.

Can't disagree that Leeds deserved a point - especially given a couple fo top quality saves Myhill had to make. What let them down was the lack of quality in the final ball, which led to too many long balls to the edge of the penalty area that were meat and drink to Caldwell and Davies.


Good to see both teams approach the game in a positive attitude.

Tickets at Selhurst Park only ?10 for adults and ?1 for children this Saturday for Palace Vs Reading; it's 'Family Day.' Only a couple of thousand left though so you'll need to be quick. You'll also need a ST holder reference to buy them over the phone - happy to provide mine by PM to anyone who wants to go along.


Palace are playing some fantastic football at the mo - the entry fee alone covers the joy of seeing Wilf Zaha tears strips out of whichever poor left back he's up against.

Well done to all concerned in the recent game between Doncaster and Middlesborough, nice displays of humanity and sensitivity all round. Take heed Tevez, Billy Sharp lost a son and still insisted on playing, at ?250,000 a week, do you think you might consider it?

Credit where credit is due. After a dire first half the Hammers put in a bit of a masterclass of quality football. I took my daughters and both ended the game on their seats singing and applauding. Well done BFS, you did well.


On another note and another thread I have to mention Gary Speed. I was truly stunned and saddened to hear of his death this lunchtime, tragic.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
