I know I will be unpopular, and I probably shouldnt comment, but... Glen Murray sealing Palace becoming the first away team to win in the league, Wilf's second goal to seal the Play off win, and Sarr's goal to seal victory in December would be the top 3 moments for me, with Wilf being my...

This could be applied to so many other clubs. We know that in all honesty, the aim each season is to finish 17th or better and have the odd cup run. On Sunday, I, like many was fuming at the injustice of the VAR decision for the penalty. From the other end of the ground, of course it looked...

Newcastle still had hopes of Europe until the final game of the season

Incorrect, it was only decided after the season had finished and Liverpool and the FA went to UEFA and asked for the ban to be lifted, so yes we were cheated out of European football. We finished 3rd in the top division. That would now get Champions league football

I think the 1861 link is very tenuous, and is just an effort by the club to pitch itself as the oldest in the leagues. There was a celebration of 100 years in 2004, so this new history would seem to be convenient to me, as it means a few changes in the badge which could potentially drive more...

My first trip to the Amex yesterday and first game for 5 weeks after surgery Its a great stadium, and to be fair, train link was good, although the wait afterwards for the train home was interminable. Weirdly it went as far as Lewes and then turned round My thoughts on the game are that we...

Lots of talk that our game on 15 December might need to move again due to Carabao cup game. We cant play Arsenal on Wednesday as they have a womens Champions league game at the Emirates that night. so would probably have to be Tuesday, and surely we would not be expected to play twice in 3...

Well it wasnt quite Villa reserves, as they played McGinn, Dhuran, Bailey, and had Mings and Bentacura returning from long term injuries, but when they were a goal down, they took off 3 of those for teenagers, so I dont think they were that bothered about the game.

So finally a return to the high pressing game of last season, and ditching the Eddie and Kamada experiment, and hey presto, a much better performance. Victory just about deserved, although Spurs were really poor, and a better side would have found an equaliser in the last 10 minutes when we ran...

I think Johnstone is better at commanding the box, whereas Henderson is a better shot stopper (Monday apart), and Henderson was the man in possession, so Johnstone asked to leave. Cant blame him, but I think I agree we lost the better keeper. Hopefully Joe Whitworth continues to develop at Exeter

Glasner is insistent on 3 at the back, but neither Mitchell or Munoz are comfortable as wing backs. Munoz is missing Olise, as when he goes forward now, he looks lost and turns around and goes back. We've not settled on a regular back 3, which doesnt help, and I dont think it suits Guehi, who...

As I said last week, what could go wrong? Well everything! You win at Newcastle, and we lose at Forest. I didnt think we were that bad at Forest, and bbc website had Forest keeper as man of the match, but we are short on confidence, and as soon as we went behind, the game was gone. Players...

I'm struggling to find words to dispute anything posted in the last 24 hours... Roll on the weekend and the next games, where Brighton are away to Newcastle, and Palace are away to Forest. What could possibly go wrong

I did say partly offset by. Of course its not the same, but we take what we can get, especially as it looked so unlikely in March, and especially after a 4-1 beating at the Amex. As others said, we are way more similar than city, Chelski etc who just throw money at the problem until it works

Lets be honest, if the roles were reversed, and we had taken 4 points ff you, but then finished below you, similar conversations would be going on. Our teams ARE of similar size and realistic projections, and as supporters, we will look for any opportunity to take any bragging rights. European...
