At th risk of writing a post that comes back to bite me. I don't see him succeeding at Palace. They have tried to change styles, but not had the patience to stick with it when the results aren't going their way (FDB, Vieira). Graham's style of football will need an owner who stands by him during...

Range of complaints, I think. (I have no vitriol, and will try to summarise without judgement): When he left, he didn't just go with what he brought, he took "our" Bruno and Roberts. Then shortly afterward came back and took our recruitment staff (yes, the decision would have been Boehly's but...

I don't mind if they job share*, but Sanchez hasn't been the same since Roberts left, and I'm not overly convinced by Steele's shot stopping. (*Not really serious, but then neither was the suggestion to bring Roberts back).

Can we get Ben Roberts back?

Everyone should be happy he won. Generally - There are no negatives for us as a team for Chelsea to progress - they have more games outside the premier league distracting them reducing the chances of them catching us, if they win the whole champions league they don't use up one of the top four...

Seems the fans are trying to fully get behind the team tonight, SSN showing crowds gathering to welcome the team, talking about word spreading on social media to get as many fans there to welcome the team coach and show them support. Be interesting to see how long that lasts. Not specific to...

Thiago seems to be getting singled out for praise for his efforts during this current poor run...

I genuinely can't remember: How many times over the past 2,3 years was Arteta written off by non-arsenal fans/media? I mean how many times did we see Arsenal lose/underperform and suggest that had to be it for him? I know I look back now and can remember the Arsenal fans baying for his blood and...

Paywalled. Essentially, they know what is going on behind the scenes, planned for ups and downs, and he took a chance leaving a stable job mid-season.

Just to clarify, I never voted out on any of the polls (both because I recognised there was improvement, and because I try not to wish for people to lose their jobs). When I say I felt I was in a minority, I simply mean it felt like everyone else seemed way more enamoured with him than I was...

So, I just spent a bit of time on the search page. It's a little difficult because 'in/out' are too short or common to work in the search bar. I looked at threads on the big board with titles containing 'potter' started before September last year. So any titled something like 'Well? In or Out'...

My memory of the polls is: there were a few times, when things were going well, some people did start them as a joke. There were times early in poor runs when potter out threads were started and the overwhelming majority voted in. It was only toward the end of some of these bad runs that the...

Regarding us and Chelsea struggling to score under Potter, I go back to 'Shoot-gate'. https://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/graham-potter-fans-shouting-shoot-causing-a-challenge-for-brighton-players/199719 "Of course, the longer you go, you can hear the crowd ‘shoot, shoot, shoot’ and...

Wasn't behind a paywall when I looked at it, but I think the telegraph does tend to paywall their articles eventually.

The £4.25bn deal to buy Chelsea was reported to be £2.5bn for the club, plus a promise to spend £1.75bn in further investment. I don't know if that's a factor? They have the money to spend so are spending it. Obviously upgrading the stadium, training facilities etc would be a better investment...
