    The first row is not the only place to watch games you know.
    There is a pretty good view from the VIPBox....

    Watch out ladies and gentleman, we have a comedy genius in the building!
    I would love to know how he thinks up such witty and original lines whilst maintaining such prosaic poise.
    Are you a full time bell-end or is it just a hobby?

    ....the Polish CB ....playing in Norway, I think for Tronso......could be a player of interest to us.

    If you''re on about Jaroslaw Fojut, then I sincerely hope not. 
    The Polish defence is the weakest it''s been for decades, and that is quite some achievement when you think that the best Polish CB in that time has been Jacek Bak!!!... The new manager has been trying out a load of no-hopers in defence trying to find something that clicks, and Fojut didn''t even make the no-hoper list.
    He would probably struggle to make it into a league one team to be honest.
    If we were looking for a Polish CB, the ONLY one I would be interested in is Kamil Glik, but even then I wouldn''t be wildly excited.

    [quote user="Reggie Strayshun"]Self evidently, KIO, if one of our opposition''s best players is suspended when we play them, then it''s potentially good news for us.

    It doesn''t really ned saying, mate.

    What I think others are saying that unless we approach this game with the right attitude, then Bolasies''s suspension will be totally irrelevant.[/quote]
    Agreed, I got that, it wasn''t subliminal.
    The post was more aimed at drawing attention to the fact Bolasie was sent off than to discuss the nuances of whether that is good news or not!

    [quote user="Hucks6"]Everyone is entitled to their thoughts.sorry mate tissue for your nose not big enough[/quote]
    Did that even make sense in your head before you typed it?
    What the hell are you on about?
    For the record by the way, where in my first post did I say I expect us to beat Palace. I said Bolasie, one of their best players being suspended is good news. Which it is. You''re the one having a little temper tantrum, and acting like a 12 year old girl... try being a bit more rational, you might find it refreshing.

    [quote user="clarkey1972"]Can''t agree im afraid.

    I thought we played well today, yes two blunders allowed the goals but they are individual errors.

    I thought our shape was good and we bounced back well from the early setback and had a go.

    We seemed to move the ball a bit quicker for me today as well.

    Thought we deserved a point.[/quote]
    If you were watching the same game, I think you might be in a very small minority of one that saw the game like that today.
    We were terrible, and looked entirely toothless. The only reason we "had a go" was Newcastle took their foot off the gas second half. Even then, our version of "having a go" consisted of creating pretty much nothing in terms of chances, and just watching Newcastle clear it comfortably every time we got within 30 yards.
    We really zipped it around along our back line but as soon as we got near the centre circle it was more of the same plodding away doing nothing with the ball.
    I don''t think we deserved a point or anything close to it. We got exactly what we deserved and the scoreline flattered us if anything.

    [quote user="Le Juge"]I''ve really not had a great two days on here have I, think I should take a break.

    I don''t think he has said it, I''ve taken something written in jest on facebook too literally and then almost started a game of Chinese whispers.

    It would probably help if I was on twitter, I always rely on second hand information on McNally tweets etc because I don''t tweet.

    Should fact check in future.

    On the plus side, maybe he will be sacked in the morning, I''d be happy with that. But then maybe the dreaded "vote of confidence" comes first.

    Some would argue that he had his ''vote of confidence'' from McNally about three weeks ago though.

    I''ve made a wally of myself twice in two days on here, time to cut my losses I think before I get a Norwich City style mauling.

    One interesting thing that I can share and verify though is that last night Cian Hughton, the son of Chris Hughton, deleted his Twitter account.[/quote]
    McNally no longer tweets.

    [quote user="carrow77"]Win on sat (& I think we will) hughton is safe

    Draw- difficult one but hughton will be skating on thin ice!

    Lose- & hughton haters will be happy as he will go

    I am a fan of hughton as I think alot can be said of stability at a football club. Can''t help but think o''neill might fancy another go at the club.[/quote]
    O''neill is going to take the Ireland job with Roy Keane as his assistant. Been common knowledge for days. Do keep up.

    I''ll go with Robert Griffin III, Quarterback of the Washington Redskins who runs the 400m hurdles in Olympic time...
    But, if we''re sticking strictly to football in the British sense of the word rather than the Americanism, I''ll have a bit of a Polish bias here and go for Piotr Zielinski, a fantastic young CM, 19 years old and playing regularly in behind Antonio Di Natale at Udinese. Does everything well and is direct enough to run at players at pace. I also love Jakub Blaszczykowski, when he is on form he really is a wonderful player to watch.

    Kick It - thanks for your insight into the inspirations behind a UK american footie fan, good to hear it articulated with passion and interest. I would still say I dislike the sport by default, but accept that is probably because of my ignorance and prejudice in relation to it :-)  Commiserations on last night''s result by the way.

     

    2 (genuine) questions: do you consider the feats of the original franchise Boston Braves/Redskins as part of the true history of the club you now support? And will you still feel happy supporting them if/when they get renamed the Washington Native Americans or similar?!

    [/quote]
    Hi Generation, no I only really count the feats of the WASHINGTON Redskins, not the Boston era. I would feel happy supporting them if they were renamed, but I would favour something that favours the native american theme, A move back to the "Braves" would be my preference, Potomac was the Indian tribe native to the DC area so I wouldn''t mind the Washington Potomacs (although it doesn''t sound brilliant). I dont want them to go with something generic like the "Presidents" or the "Bandits" or other such nonsense. Stay true to the traditions of the club, but I don''t think the name is all that important. I doubt it''ll happen soon anyway, Dan Snyder (Redskins owner) has said that he won''t change the name, and it seems to be a case of media throwing up the usual storm about the name (Happens at least once a year), although it is a bit more sustained this time round. I think it''s inevitable it will change sooner or later though, and Im not averse to that, if anything, I would probably be a little more comfortable supporting them if no-one was getting offended by the name (Although much of that is media hyperbole, most native americans actually aren''t bothered by the name, but a significant minority are).
