Ian Pearce has been named as West Brom’s new head of recruitment.
Pearce joins the Baggies from Brighton, where he had served as their head of UK recruitment, and where Dan Ashworth has just taken over as technical director.
He won the Premier...
Have we just been incredibly fortunate with injuries this season, or is it down to other factors such as training routines, fitness levels and the medical team? Take a look at some of the relegation rivals and they often have half their squad out injured, or in the case of Palace, most of their...
England will play two friendlies against the Netherlands and Italy in March 2018 as part of their World Cup preparations.
Gareth Southgate's side will play the Dutch on 23 March in Amsterdam, before hosting Italy at Wembley on 27 March.
The Netherlands finished third in their World Cup...
With the recent Stoke match with the blatant dive that led to the penalty when there was absolutely no threat to our goal, and the consequences that could have been if they had scored, it got me thinking what changes could be made to improve the game! Here's a few...
Do away with penalties in...
...throws up some big fixtures in the relegation scramble. It would be nice if one or two start getting cut adrift but just as you write a team off they pull out a result.
Leicester 12:30 Stoke

Brighton 15:00 Swansea
Burnley 15:00 Southampton...
Following the thread about compiling a team of ex Brighton players still playing, l thought l would see if there were sufficient home grown players to make a credible team. We seem pretty good at producing defenders but I'm struggling to remember a prolific home grown centre forward and a...
Just thinking about ex players that were on our books or on loan to us and still playing competitively at a high level and thought l would see if l could make a decent enough team. Burnley have 4 players that were in our squad at one time or another! Any one come up with a better suggestions...
Only Man City, Man Utd and Spurs haven't conceded more than two goals in any premier league game this season....and Brighton! (and Spurs did concede 3 against West Ham in the Mickey Mouse Cup)
We will only be 5 points away from a champions league place with nearly a third of the season gone! I keep checking the league table in a little bit of disbelief!
Going into the international break in 8th position and still looking at the league table with a little bit of disbelief, currently .... we are the top 'Albion' in the country, we are the top side on the south coast and we are above the noisy neighbours from up the road (who are remarkably...
Only Alan Mullery comes close in my opinion although given the resources at certain times in our history there have been the occasional outstanding contributions from Steve Gritt and Micky Adams first time round. For me though Chris is my best of the best. What a great time to be an Albion fan!
Murray has scored 4 goals in 3 games which is as many as Crystal Palace have scored in the whole season to date...and one of those was an own goal!
I wonder if they regret selling him now?
I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Palace
(Palace, who the f**k are Palace)
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get...
Just been reading several very humorous quotes from Gordon Strachan when being interviewed. Here's a few...
Reporter: "So Gordon, any changes?"
Strachan: "Naw, still 5 foot six, ginger and a big nose"
Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?"
Strachan: "Velocity."
Anyone else...
Palace now hold the record of starting a season with zero goals and zero points from their first 6 matches! A record that no other club has managed to achieve since 1888, which got me looking at the premier league stats to see what other records they could smash this season.
Fewest points in a...
