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.

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
