Being cynical no doubt there is a winner out there who was expecting this to happen.

our problem is that we couldn't finish a bag of chips. Long season unless we find players to put it in the net.

I had many a conversation with Docker and wish I could have recorded his stories. His tales of going to Liverpool, Bob Shankley there waiting to greet them was amusing.

Not popular observation but Redmonds dead ball delivery has been superior to JWP

there goes my weekend again!!!

I have to hold my hand up, I was wrong it seems this has been a fantastic success for anyone who believed.

I think you underestimate Dycheball , he always finds a way. Corney is scoring as well. Funnily enough I feel it is not cut and dried. Before the season started I thought Palace were in danger but they have been able to rebuild with young strong athletic players

Thats what the Roma fan said. He was given 3 chances to prove that 'He could do that' and failed miserably. Im sure most of the people on the match thread would be unable to pass the ball let alone take a chance

Roma took a fan who criticised the team and got him on the pitch and he was useless, This would be so good if our club went to the match thread and picked a few of our goons out to do this

I think if we could sell him and replace him with one of 2 players then it should be done. I personally feel he slows our game down and gives the opponents time to reset. No denying his gives his all but it comes to something when a recycling midfielder is the player we need to get excited about!!

and he wouldnt be with us if he did. Then of course you would give him pelters for not being loyal and staying lol

I agree that it was a terrible miss, but he gets abuse much of the time. Personally i think he is mentally strong as he is subjected to so much bile by the uneducated at games. Anyway I still enjoy what he gives on the pitch

reading some of you latest posts I think you need to take some of your own advice

That is it, you hadnt seen the other times (most of them crap) and so Adkins success is rightly seen as a massive achievement, I personally dont get the same warmth, but I dont resent people who do worship him. As for his record since is relevant as it may point that he isnt that good but had a purple patch with us, with hungry players playing below their standard

Did I say it wasnt a good effort? I believe he had good opportunity to win both titles and the old First Division trophy (now given to Championship winners) something that from a young child wished it could have our name engraved on it, was not to be but should have. It is not the trophy to the younger generations mindset that seems important but watching the great Leeds, Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa, Forest teams lift that trophy was the holy grail. Yes it was at tht time the premier trophy but it would still be wonderful to see our own club captain lift it.

I know it is heresy but I do not have the same worship or opinion of him. I believe at the time the hierarchy (NC) thought he should have won the titles as well. Hence his soon departure in the PL. Im not saying he was a poor manager for us, but his record since has not been impressive either.

They are good fans, period. Hampshire humour

I agree, I never quite felt the same about him than the majority. Personally he should have won the League 1 and the Championship.

Yes it would be fantastic, to my mind t is a ponzi scheme but now there is a etf being traded it will make it stronger. Amazing to read that man who put 10k bitcoin for sale at $50 a long time ago is now worth 470m !! Hindsight, and the young mainly believe in it and so it will keep it alive

thought it was good, not many CEO's would go onto a podcast

Yep some up the pylons that day. I recall the scramble to get out after to meet the Brighton fans in the parks and train station

We had the perfect owner, but our luck was he was taken from us prematurely. These new owners will push the price of players fees and wages up further making us even less likely to compete. Perhaps Jamie Ohara is correct, we are a waste of time in the PL

Mr Bruce could you please visit our Embassy.......never to be seen again lol

That could be seen as the arrogance of the scientific world. I have quoted a few occasions where academics have been so aloof that that they have missed basics. eg the space probe where millions of dollars were spent and the thing ran out of fuel as some calculated in gallons others in litres, how a Southampton university professor told me and my father in the 1970's that all the elements had been found and it was impossible that were any more, and also the Southampton Uni with the secret to some kind of fuel revolution, again missing a basic calculation. Please do not think Im discrediting a Phd, I left school at 16 and so have no paper qualifications,and so admire your work.
