Thought we were quite poor and very tentative right up to the moment they scored. That seemed to snap us out of it and I think a slight tactical tweak also improved us, from there we passed the ball well but struggled to break down a well organised team. Pressing high is certainly going to help...

What a terrible thing for the lad, especially so near to the start of his career. A mercy that it was spotted before something bad happened but still a heavy mental blow to lose his livelihood and life's to now at least work.

Carrying on regardless, mostly because football is pretty much the only thing I do socially now. Been all the aways bar one so far but that might slow down as the season goes if it becomes too expensive.

I think or perhaps hope that the transfer 'surplus' won't change the profile of the sort of players we want to sign but it might mean we are more likely to get the recruitment teams 1st choice rather than someone lower down their list. Strikers wise for example had we been a bit cash richer...

Not quite as black and white as that swanny is it? We are a bit feudal here in some ways but touting for another job while you're in one is a bit off and add football into the mix and it could get sticky especially if we were a northern club with delusions of grandeur like er Leeds for example...

I dreamt I scored a hat rick against Palace, 2, 25 yard drives and a free kick for the hatrick. I celebrated in front of them of course. I was then sent off for a disgraceful tackle on Zaha all in all a good days work...

A few of the usual platitudes wouldn't hurt ' concentrating on my football' 'one game at a time' etc etc. We all know the truth but the implication that I'm just baking about here until a better offer appears is a bit insulting.

Is it just me or why can't these players just keep quiet? We know most or all of them would accept an offer from a 'big' club if one is made but its a little ungrateful to be touting yourself for that move while picking up decent wages elsewhere. If Chelsea want him they'll make an acceptable...

Main problem for me is the most difficult one to solve. The North Stand is too small and the roof too high to transmit much sound into the stadium. I'm on the halfway line and rarely hear them even though you can see they are singing. I was disappointed that the shelf seating was not built...

Glenn Hoddle - the most talented player I've ever seen. In a game with no tackling he would destroy teams

Nigel is a Nigel eh? I actually thought it was impossible to hate them more than I already did. Seems I was wrong....

It might, just might, be the best thing that could've happened. Potter has done a fabulous job no argument, but maybe someone with similar but slightly different ideas might just iron out some of the few issues remaining like the lack of goals while maintaining what we already have, that and the...

What the bare figures need is some context. What constitutes a 'football related incident'? Has the bar for arrests been lowered? Etc etc From my admittedly limited perspective, I've been going to games for over 50 years and don't think I've ever seen less 'disorder' at matches certainly...

He was at the Amex Sat I staggered past him a bit worse for wear and thought blimey was that Garth Crooks? You have not been charged for this information and Mr Crooks should not have been charged for the waistcoat that he had on...

Sanchez 6 -- Nothing to do really? Webster 8 -- As good as he was bad at Burnley, looked fitter. Duffy 8 -- My admiration for his ability to bounce back is massive. Great header and good allround. Dunk 8 -- Comfortable Gross 7 -- Quality as per really Bissouma 8.5 -- Ran the game Lallana 7.5...
