Hence my nickname, Zico was certainly my favourite overseas player and I loved that Eder as well, he couldn't half bend a ball. Was gutted when they got beat but if I remember correctly they didn't have the best goalkeeper and the defenders just attacked. Still had a decent team in 86 although not q...

16 today, which is an improvement from yesterday. Zico, thanks for asking if I was ok. Nothing physical, but I think it was a combination of events. A shit game Sunday, sad news re Billy Bonds, on top of a couple of family issues, culminating in me being a bit mentally drained.  Glad you are ok Eas...

Not just us, I put many an English Club in this bracket, but too many very average foreign players are in the League these days.  You can't tell me that there aren't better British players with better attitudes than some of our squad playing in the lower Leagues.  We need to scout closer to home IMO.

I know it seems difficult to believe or accept right now considering our current shower in the Team but just how lucky as a Football Club have we been blessed with some true greats in the game as we have with the likes of our Billy. Not just the quality of the player either but the exemplary charac...

I think Jarrod is struggling with the captaincy in a poor team, with that extra responsibility affecting his own performance.  He works hard you can't fault that but there is so little movement around him and with confidence low all around it can't be easy.  He isn't really captain material, althoug...

Must say it did look a tad suspicious when he stopped having a pop at the Ref once the Ref got the red out.  

Think I'm just about done with this club and football in general.  On the day we lose a legend that embodied passion, integrity, honesty, honour, hard work, desire, determination, respect and every other adjective that can describe an absolute gentleman who played for a once great club we are subjec...

The referee is crap and Liverpool are cheats but Paqueta is a fucking disgrace. What a prick. Just sell him, bloody liability.

FFS why not just stick two up top, nothing to lose.

The games gone if you get a yellow card for cleanly winning the ball. That said Magassa seems a poor man's Kouyate. Sensible sub for a change from Nuno. Hope the lad does something.

We seem to be every other teams first club. First goal for their club. First goal in 6 months. First win in 10 years. etc etc.

Giving them too much respect, not going to get a better time to beat a low confidence Liverpool team. Typical game with both sides low on confidence. Need to get closer though, giving them too much space. Areola having a good game again but need to move up the pitch.

Why have sky got Brighton on 3 bloody chanells?

If each of those players puts the minimum of effort Billy Bonds put in for a game we will win this.

Just come on here and seen this, absolutely gutted.  From about 5 years old when I started supporting the club Billy, Trev and John Lyall were my heroes.  Billy was as fit as they come and as tough old boots, thought he would be around forever.  RIP to an absolute legend.

Enjoyed The Beast in me. Going to start All her fault, I’ve heard it’s VG.  All her fault is very good.  Stick wiith it, as at times it does get a bit slow and you start to get a bit bored, but then a WTF moment hooks you in.  Think I saw the whole thing in three days and I'm not really a fan of se...
