29 - I don't think I saw us under Jeff Wood.

Before he spoke to the Japanese media after the Spurs game, they were told "You can ask him about transfer speculation but he won't tell you anything." Apparently his usual answer to them is "ask my agent". But they think he will go if a club can offer him Champions League football. Which we...

The whole move was brilliant. It began with Bart playing the ball out to Ayari, and as a Liverpool player went to cover the expected square pass to JP, he hit it diagonally to Baleba instead - Arne Slot commented that "a ball from the goalkeeper to a midfielder who pretended to play the ball to...

Sign for the Albion, play well for a season or two, change your agent and then wait. Todd Boehly will come and get you.

Same birthday as me and Mark McGhee!

He deployed the c word frequently and it sounded particularly effective in his educated tones.

I was lucky enough to know the great man as a colleague and friend - and teammate in his Holland Park kickabouts. One thing that hasn't been mentioned in any of the eulogies: he HATED Palace. He'd do almost anything to avoid reporting at Selhurst. I won't say what he always called them, but the...

It's taken Palace far more seasons in the top division to win something than we've had. And they've still got Will Hughes in their squad.

As a player, Charlie was a key signing and a lot of our success at Withdean was based on him, Dodge and that group. He was unlucky to be caught in the middle of the wreckage of the Gus regime.

Great player. I believe he played for Whitehawk with some distinction after leaving the Albion.

I'm glad I don't have to sort out the imbalance in our squad. We're overloaded with wingers and number 10s but thin elsewhere, as the injury situation has shown this season. The main dilemma is keeping Gruda/Gomez/O'Riley/Ayari/Buonanotte all involved and happy while bringing Yalcouye back...

Sell, sell, sell ...

Obviously. I think I'm trying to say that in my opinion the worst case is Bournemouth getting the Conference place. Palace getting it is the second-worst case.

Worst: 1. Bournemouth finishing above us and getting the Conference place. 2. Palace winning the FA Cup. Best: 1. We scrape into the Conference, which is a winnable competition.

Better Brentford than Palace or the Pluckies.

The slight advantage we have is that Brentford and Fulham play each other the day before us and so, added to the pressure of a local derby, will be the fact that both will have to assume they have to win. Actually a win is the only result that is any use to Fulham, unless you count the joy of...

Anyone but the Pluckies, please. So either Brentford or Fulham and that probably means we need one of them to win when they play each other. I fear our chance went with Newcastle's equaliser. I think we'll dominate at Wolves despite the excellent form they're apparently in, but somehow manage...

And born to make mistakes.

We want City to beat Palace anyway, obviously, but yes, I think you're correct.

I've been lucky enough to talk to Ayari in the post-match mixed zones and he's a seriously impressive character. His belief in his own ability is off the charts and even at Blackburn and Coventry he trained every day as if he was starting at the weekend, which he usually wasn't, and when he's on...
