He was doing well enough early season with Hull that perhaps a Championship team might take a gamble, but otherwise you'd expect him to land in League 1, or SPL as an outside shout.

To be fair to Palace they have their hits and misses in the transfer market but it keeps their head above the water each time. Under Glasner, Mateta has even started to look decent. Everyone predicted them to go down a few years ago when they had ~10 players all out of contract at the same time...

The other benefit of a Tory wipeout is that many of the current cabal of far righters will lose their seats. Particularly this is true as these are in many cases the same people who were parachuted in to win the red wall seats in 2019. The longer serving, more stable Tories in the safest seats...

Both Caicedo and Cucurella seem to be performing much better for Chelsea in recent weeks. Shame.

I understand the logic of why they aren't. Labour know they're going to win the next election anyway if they stay on this course. They are trying to appeal to both the remain voting metropolitan liberals and the leave voting working classes simultaneously. Being too outspoken on policy risks...

I hope that's not the case, in Horsham too. Boundary changes could have an impact as the new East Grinstead and Uckfield seat has sucked up more Tory areas of both seats. I'd love if, for the first time in my life, my hometown doesn't just return another yes-man Tory career politician. But at...

I know that Lib Dems tend to do better locally than in general elections, but it will be interesting to see what seats they can take off the Tories in the Southeast come the general election. There are certainly a lot of traditional Tories in Sussex who would find the Lib Dems much more...

NSC is not a publicly owned forum and doesn't exist in a vacuum. If users are posting things like hate speech or libel, then NSC is liable for that, and users should be warned and banned if necessary. If users are being abusive and obnoxious to each other, that also discourages active...

It may not happen but I want Rushworth back at the club next season, we can't keep loaning him out forever - time to see if he can dislodge Bart! If not, he'll still bring in a couple of million, and then Beadle will be looking to prove his mettle in a season or two. Scherpen I would expect to...

To be honest I think the loss of Mwepu is overstated by some on here. He was usually the rotation option, rarely had a run of consecutive games. Yes he usually performed well but not enough to permanently dislodge Mac or Bissouma. Much like Moder really.

I had completely forgotten about it until I opened BBC News this morning. Nipped down to the polling station here, we have mayoral and councillor elections. I'll admit my vote was more against the existing, insufferable and ineffective tit of a councillor that we currently have, than for his...

Whilst Leverkusen are a "works" team, hence the Bayer part, they have a long and proud history. They aren't a recent implant like Hoffenheim or Leipzig. I must say though it's nice to see teams like Stuttgart back at the top of the German league again though. So many years along the lines of 1...

You'll be betting on that happening then presumably?

Also, good young forwards are a dime a dozen. Good young defensive midfielders aren't. Having said that I still wouldn't sell him at this stage - he'll be worth much more in a year or two.

The whole time he's been here he's had a tendency to speak before he thinks. Some on here see it as "refreshing and honest", I always thought it was tactless and leaves no room for a change of position. He did it when talking about referees, he did it when talking about Trossard Sanchez and...

Voted out because it really feels toxic and he's the common denominator. But it won't happen before the end of the season at this point. We'll probably get a "mutual consent" a couple of days after the last game.

Have there been any actual credible rumours about selling Mitoma? Or is it just fear mongering? Seems like it would be moronic timing to sell him now given the state of the team and the fact he's barely played this year. His value is at its lowest.

At the end of the season with CH we were the worst. Horrendous form, we were rescued by dubious refereeing against Cardiff in other matches robbing them of points. This is worse than anything Potter served up though. With Potter we created chances, just couldn't finish them. With Potter we very...

Kluivert this second half has been toying with us.

There's loads of space for Offiah and Buonanotte to run into, but they just aren't doing it often enough.
