several teams have got there first away wins at selhurst this season.

Hull have been dire 'Away' from home but I have no confidence that we would beat them if we had to. Edited by Willo (06 May 2017 11.00am)

We have to make 100% sure we don't lose. So that means pack the midfield, keep everything very very tight and congested. Play as if we are away. They HAVE to attack us so let em. Soak up what they have and hit em on the counter. Not once taking a single gamble going forward. A boring game for us fans but needs must. We need to get this done. Once and for all.

The fellow proceeded to tell me that a hummingbird can flap its wings 70 times per second, and that "Eric Djemba-Djemba" is a "midfielder" who has been capped 24 times for Cameroon.

If we go down it is down to the team at fault no one else. I do no see us going down a draw against Hull is all that is needed but Hull needs to win the game so we can setup and let them attack hit them on counter if this doesn't get us any goals it doesn't matter if Hull do not score not the best football but it is about what is needed. The problem is I can see us having a go at Hull which is dangerous. I expect Sam to do a lot of changes this summer not just in the first team squad. Regarding the question about staying up Pullis was the better and hardest one we had championship squard and not only did he keep us up we ended up finishing in a very nice league position which gave us a nice cash bonus, Sam has come in with some quality players already here only needing to add a few yet we have blown a lot of chances should really be up in about 10th (some great results against big teams but then awful ones against teams should of beaten)

I am enlightened ! You mentioned Djemba-Djemba. I remember hearing from someone when he signed for Man Utd that in his previous two seasons in France he picked up a host of 'Yellows' and some 'Reds' but alas I cannot remember the precise numbers.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |
