Prior to the semis, I wanted a Villa v Forest FA Cup Final .... so we have a Palace v City Final (which is enough to make me not watch it). I wanted a Bristol City v Coventry City playoff Final. Instead we have the bloody Mackams v Sheffield Utd. (Im a Geordie originally, so thats enough to make...

If I remember rightly, he is the player nearest to Zamora when he scored "that goal" v Halifax at Withdean....I think he should have been marking him ... might be wrong, and have to revisit that goal again.... Edit : Just found it on YouTube.... he is the nearest player to Zamora, trailing in...

The Plot Against America , by Phillip Roth. Written in 2001, as an "alternative history" - (what if pro-Nazi Charles Lindbergh had become USA President in 1940?), it is now very scarily prescient, being quite chillingly similar to ...ahem.... current events.

I think this is bogus. I have all sorts of books about the Albion, and none of them (i.e. Carder and Harris "Seagulls! The story of Brighton and Hove Albion FC") refer to these colours, none of the (admittedly sepia) pictures have players wearing anything other than blue and white stripes ...

I have no interest in motor racing, or boxing..... but I dont join their discussion threads to tell everybody that.

Naaah ....... they'll come straight back down. Whereas, Palace will never shut up until the end of time.

Frankly, I am more and more convinced, the nearer the final we get, that Palace are destined to win this. I am so sure, I have actually stuck a tenner on them yesterday (and I dont do betting ... ) - thats how convinced I am that it's a done deal. I only stand to "win" £28 , but it's a...

Even then, I'd still expect them to blow it....

Pele and Ali.... possibly Michael Jordan, Messi and Danny Cullip as close runners up....

I wont watch it .... speaking as someone who loves FA Cup Final day (I guess it's an age thing... the first one I can remember first hand was 1969).... but there is no way I can sit and watch Palace stride on to their inevitable victory whilst City fail to turn up. I'll just get the...

I, Me, Mine.... The Beatles

In my pessimistic head, they are nailed on to win the f'ing thing. I'm off to put at least a tenner on it, because I feel so absolutely sure it's a done deal. :-(

Oh FFS, man !! Of course I want to qualify for it !!! Its Europe.... It's potentially winnable.... it'll be an adventure .... why would we want anything else?? What is the point if thats the attitude? I dont think it'll happen now , but Im VERY disappointed if thats the case.

I keep saying this though ..... he doesnt actually have to succeed at anything at all. He just needs to Tell His Followers that he Has Succeeded. And when it is obvious that he has not succeeded, then he will just lash out against the (a) media for reporting it, (b) Biden , (c) Obama. The...
