    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    I think it’s one of those situations which could go one way or the other. I wouldn’t like to predict it. If we go by history through, there have been so many clubs who have fallen by the wayside due to mismanagement by owners. Traditionally big clubs like Villa and Newcastle have spent time in...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Agree with this. But I also think we need to worry about ourselves, and not them. Maybe they don’t win it this year because we lose to City but win it next year anyway. Maybe they’ll win the Champions League next year. We don’t really have any control over how good they become but we do have...

    Conor Gallagher

    I don’t think he has the mobility or creativity of Gallagher. Not that I think Gallagher is especially creative but Skipp is even less so. I could definitely see Skipp being an important player for a team like Palace though.

    Tottenham in pole position to sign Thomas Waddingham

    Completely agree. For every Bale, Kane and Walker there is a Carroll, Winks, Walker-Peters, Tanganga and Skipp. And those are the success stories. We don’t hear about all the young players who don’t make it, or we forget about them because they make no impression. But the pay off when you get a...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Yeah I think this is undeniable. Rightly or wrongly, and we have improved lot since I was a young man, we have put a massive emphasis on finishing fourth over anything else. That’s been the defining feature of Levy’s tenure.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    I know where you are coming from but there’s a bit of the West Ham cup final about this stuff. You know the way we usually have other priorities but West Ham always seem to be massively up for it? And that just feels small time to us? Arsenal are going for the league. That’s their main priority...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    I don’t think it’s abysmal, given where we are at. We finished 24 points behind them last season and if anything they have become stronger this season. There’s every chance they will go on and win the league from here. They’ll at least finish in the top two. In 2020 we finished 40 points behind...

    Eberechi Eze

    I’m not sure he’s a priority. We are terrible at getting deals like this done. We rarely buy players from within the Premier League and especially not from financially stable clubs or players with full contracts. I don’t know much about Eze’s or Palace’s situation but going by experience it...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    But isn’t this the wrong attitude to have? To even think that? We need to establish a habit of winning and you don’t do that if you approach matches with the attitude that I don’t care about winning this one because if we lose it will harm our rivals.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    I think in fairness a lot of people don’t think much is on the line. They think we’ll probably finish fifth whatever, so losing to Man C wouldn’t mean much. But I disagree. I think there’s a good chance of us still finishing fourth. And even if there wasn’t, we should want to win all our...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    The way I remember it is that his head was turned by City. And to be honest that’s understandable. We were never going to keep up with them. He got to work with Pep, got better money, a higher profile, guaranteed trophies. I think most players would prefer to play for City than Spurs...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Levy nearly always gives his managers money to spend. Maybe not as much as they want but we generally make some exciting signings every season. Even under Conte, despite all his complaints, we bought Kulusevski on loan, Bentancur, Bissouma, Perisic, Richarlison and Porro. Say what you want...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    I think you could say this about nearly every team other than Arsenal and City. And even City are having a so-so season by their standards. I think it’s the nature of the league this season. I do think selling Kane has caught up with us though. We’ve traditionally had a massive dip after...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    If they win the league they win the league. We need to worry about ourselves. I just find some of the comments over the last few pages pretty pathetic. Adult men who can’t handle the idea of losing a match. If we lose, we lose. If they win the league, they win the league. They won it once at...
