No Grandstand! That's terrible. What to the BBC show on Saturday afternoons these days then? The next thing you'll tell me will be that fun loving chubby Scouser Keith Chegwin doesn't do roadshows from leisure centres and the like on Saturday mornings anymore.

I like you Edna. All your posts are eminently sensible and your loathing of PFC further confirms it. If you'll allow me to indulge in a little trip down memory lane a few years back the Mays family were on their way westward for a family holiday. Making good time on the M27 the floodlights of...

Don't want to cause any offence. Hint - self obsessed resident of Hove who fondly believes people are interested in the tiniest details of his life.

I just removed someone from my ignore list to read a thread they started and it proved to be a huge disappointment. Reinstated the "ignore" now and will resist the temptation next time.

We need Wednesday to start picking up points now. If Watford win on Tuesday they are 7 points above Palace with a game in hand and realistically it will mean Wednesday are the only team Palace can catch. Of the remaining games I think they'll beat Preston at home (mid-table nothing to play for)...

Chris Holroyd for crying out loud. Not HolDroyd. HFHCIFB!:rant:

Are Andy Carroll and Biffa Bacon one and the same person? I think we should be told.

I used to like Avram Grant but his constant bleating about the 9 points changed my mind about him. To top it off this morning I read his comments about how they are some kind of example to football and the Premier League should get down and kiss their webbed feet. I may have exaggerated that...

Columbine by Dave Cullen. It's pretty good so far. Seems that the popular theory that the shooters were part of some larger disaffected Goth culture and that they targeted "Jocks" is wide of the mark. Also seems that one of them (Klebold) probably could have gone on to make something of his...

Some great memories there. Thanks to Shamwow Vince (a twentysomething Chelsea fan from Florida) who through me yammering on about the Albion at him all day every day , and through reading BaB is developing a healthy dislike for Palace and Portsmouth and has started looking out for the Albion's...

You know how in the first fleeting moments after you wake up a dream is so vivid you can still see , smell and taste it? Well I have to write this down before it's gone for ever. It was so perfect. I was on my way to a match with all my mates I used to see years ago. It was one of those days...

Loved the comment about tutting loudly and sighing in exasperation. As someone else mentioned the time to mount a protest was BEFORE becoming a publicly listed company. Atilla said it best that football will eat itself.

Gresley Rovers have a mascot called Elvis Gresley. Which is rather marvellous.

It's nothing to write home about though is it? For lager I prefer German or Czech stuff and for white beer it has to be Belgian.

Guilty of the worst one possible I'm afraid. When talking about football to Americans I call it "soccer". I know. I know. Only to avoid a tedious discussion where I explain I'm not talking about "throwball". Oddly my American mate I commute with has taken to saying football where he used...

I heard that you'll be able to get a 24 oz T-Bone steak with all the trimmings for a quid and nubile young lovelies will be on hand to ......do what nubile young lovelies were put on this Earth to do. All of this in the cheap seats. Trade up to one of the more expensive season tickets and it...

Think I saw something online briefly. You're talking about Chesterfield right? I'm still bitter about the trip there in August 1987. It was like Royston Vasey with thugs. Undoubtedly my worst ever awayday and we didn't even lose. Hated them then and always will.

Couldn't really give a rat's arse but would rather it's not Chesterfield. Was reading the thread on their board about Whing's loan signing and came across the genius little snipper that WE were cheats. For the life of me I can't fathom that one out. Unpleasant small minded fans from a...

Let's hope Gus sticks around to finish the job which clearly he has started. Like all good teams he's building from the back. We are now apparently very hard to score against. We have the makings of a nice little unbeaten run to foster confidence and I'm looking forward to a gradual but...

Genius from the bard of Boundstone.
