We’re gonna have to get a bigger film library.

But if we had lost it would have sat there taunting you. Brave decision.

Many things you can say against Brighton but they have sold very well in recent seasons. This one stands out because it does seem like an unusual poor sale from them.

I’m not sure this is real. I think this is an AI post and Maradona did play Subbuteo.

They also haven’t got anything about my favourite football team. Should I complain?

What about an inflatable stadium? I’m sure you can get one from Temu for about a fiver.

In what way are we having a breakdown in the UK? There are a lot of European countries facing political turmoil. Not sure we are an outlier.

I remember reading it for Palace news over breakfast in the 80s. At that time it was really hard to get any Palace news. You would get the occasional bit in the Standard. I still moaned that there was too much Millwall news.

Sheffield United. I can walk to the ground.

When I watched the highlights afterwards I also was sure we would win. Maybe.

I forgot Trevor Aylott. But although immobile did also score some incredible long range goals.

Maybe we need to go back rather than forward. So moan about Steve Kettering, Gary Stebbing and John Humphries. We still sing about Mullery after all.

And to think Nookie the Bear used to be the most embarrassing Palace fan.

Just chatted to a couple of your crew in the white horse. Nice guys. Bit pissed.

When we went up I always thought he was one of our best players. One of a few who seemed PL ready.

Concerned enough to not check facts properly?

There are some people who are quick to shout about the right wing media lies but quite happy to repeat or start their own when it suits.

I thought that was a good response. I like the fact he took on this challenge is a good (mature?) way. This is why I like this platform.

I can picture you know stratching off Hughes and adding Daichi to all those mugs.

I think it is good to have different types of strikers to be able to change a game that isn’t going our way. The problem is Mateta is far better than the alternatives. When we had a few average strikers it made less of a difference who played (Eduoard, Benteke, old Mateta).

I really liked Rodger. Did the simple things well and we always seemed to be a better team when he played.

Also he’s fun to watch and we need a bit of fun.

I have never seen anyone so good at getting fouled. He must have infuriated opponents.

I don’t know why the whole debate is about which generation had it worse. Growing up in the 80s was different to now. Not all worse, not all better. Inequality is across all generations not necessarily between them.

There was a couple of seasons when we were really grateful to have him and we should never forget that. Just hope his retirement goes well (can’t be terrible to retire in your 30s).

Wasn’t CRM Systems the cup competition he introduced?

And set pieces have become more important. This season has also seen the return of long throws in the premier league.

2-0. But games against Everton always end up the low point of the season.

Ian Wright is the first player I really loved. There were others before who I liked, including Micky Droy and Alan Irvine. But Wright just lifted the whole club.

When are you doing the ‘I thought Kamada did ok’ mugs?

I thought he was fantastic today and dealt with Garnacho who was their main attacking out ball.

Also a bit from sales of Johnston and Ayew. But I don’t understand football finance and wages are always ignored when transfers are discussed. I suspect we have a little bit of money but not a lot.

That 0-0 was a good result at the time but is looking even better now.

Any chance of a tip off of who you are giving 3 points to next week?

It is no better than the right wing conspiracy theories we get. This is saying Starmer is just an empty vessel for mysterious background forces.

That is a really simplistic and a bit of a silly response. Do you really think people are that one dimensional. I would expect a bit better from you.

I think this is absolutely correct. A lot if the time when Munoz goes forward, Mitchell shuffles into a back 4 to give cover. Also he isn’t as bad going forward as some say.

Is this the first time we’ve been worried about a manager going? Can’t remember ever thinking anyone else would want a manager of ours (except maybe Coppell who was happy to stay - and go and come back and go and come back…,)
