Even in that article it says he bought himself out of the army....only to immediately be contradicted by Whittingham's quote which says Gregory paid the fee. Quality journalism

I told anyone who would listen that Andy Williams (remember him - winger, late 1990's) was gonna be a superstar.

Agree with this. I thought at the start of the season Palace would go down and should consider it a result given the boost to the coffers. Holloway is annoying, but entertaining and has proven ability in getting average squads of the championship. Anyone can see the squad is not good enough - I suppose the question is whether the squad is bad enough that it should be getting tonked 4-1 at home to Fulham. Clearly that has been the tipping point.

This may have been the case at one time - not anymore. My wife is a US citizen who has taken British Citizenship without losing her US status.

Home to Sunderland/West Ham (or Wigan, Fulham, Hull etc) - average, workmanlike performances with no cutting edge Away to Liverpool (or Mancs/Chelski) - we will look like worldbeaters, get the odd well earned win or lose narrowly whilst receiving plaudits for our play. Tis the Southampton Way.

Only on GolTV as far as I know. Dodgy stream time......

+1 Call me a sentimental old fool but my first thought when anyone mentions the JPT win is of Markus and the joy he exhibited that day. Nothing the fishy phew can do will tarnish that special memory.

Thats OK - I'm sure Sky will arrange it so some Saturdays you can get up at 4.30am

Hmmmm....he has a degree in Economics - you would have thought he have a good grasp of the terms of the deal.

Not missing - just yet to live up to his potential. Step forward, Gaston Ramirez - your time is NOW.

Hughes and Jol both good shouts. Think maybe Jol due to change of owner. Di Canio will probably get until Christmas having 'saved' them last year. Holloway will probably keep his job regardless - relegation and parachute payments will not be a bad result for Palace and Holloway might be worth keeping around for another crack at the Championship.

Verizon have gone worryingly quiet on this. Might actually have to switch to Comcast as I have heard they will be making the channels available.

Don't think I could feel much prouder if he was my own son. Congratulations Rickie.

I could just about live with the shirt (if it has to be all red) - although should retail for about £30 being a generic design - but the gold is horrible. It would also be the first shirt my 12yo son has said he doesn't want.

......But they will be quoted on the OS saying they 'were amazed by the clubs ambition and couldn't wait to join the project'

I would hope this is one of those situations where someone is following a set of rules that did not cover this situation - and that elevated to the appropriate level, would be quickly rectified. If not...I'm sure the Echo would love to run with this story.

Don't forget Andrei Kanchelskis who sadly was the first player deemed 'worthy' of the coveted 7 after MLT.

Thats the final game fancy dress theme sorted then.

try looking at Villa

Congratulations Poch and the lads. Job Done. Anyone think we'll get a glimpse of Forren in action next week?

Sounds very promising - although I struggle to believe NBC won't screw this up somehow.

If I'm honest - my pre match prediction yesterday was for a draw, but I said if Fox and Dyer are playing we will lose. I will admit I was wrong. Happens from time to time.

Relegating Stoke would be fitting retribution for the Anthony Pulis debacle.

The Football League made a statement last year that said that to get membership, the new owners would have to accept a 10 point deduction in the 2012/13 season. That seems to give the PDT lawyers something to work with if the FL decide to carry it over to next season. (notwithstanding the FL's 'its our league and we'll make the rules up as we see fit' policy)

This is excellent news. It means that despite my huge mortgage and excessive credit card bills - I am Debt Free!! Thank fook for that. Time to go on a spending spree to celebrate.
