Pigglelet Deepest Darkest Sussex 29 Jan 17 2.00pm
Some insightful person on the BBS has pointed out that in each of the previous Chinese years of the Rooster (1981, 1993 and 2005) we have been relegated from the top flight. Yesterday was the start of the Chinese year of the Rooster. "Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt." Mark Twain.

The Dolphin 29 Jan 17 2.07pm
It only happened yesterday and so details will be sketchy but the Physioroom website says - no return date and major doubt. That does not sound good. Jeez - how much bad luck can we have!

I suppose we could have poached someone like Chris Hughton but nicking another manager under contract was going to cost the club big in buying him out. Another option would have been to go after Pulis and we could waive his re-payment of the bonus as part of the deal. I can see us getting 'Nil Points' in all our remaining games. We have to be reliant on clubs around us being worse than us, and maybe getting the odd surprise result ourselves. While it's still mathematically possible to escape relegation, we have to keep fighting Edited by Forest Hillbilly (29 Jan 2017 2.44pm) I disengage, I turn the page.

He could try moving about a bit and making an effort. Compare him with a journeyman like Steve Morison at Millwall who showed today just how a forward should play.

I totally agree with you on Benteke moving around a lot more which also applies to Hennessy he should as well instead of standing there like a wet sheet letting goals in every five minutes Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

You speak like we have about 3 games to go and reliant on others to keep us up! Start getting positive, long way to go and no doubt many twists and turns! Still early days of the new regime.

Start getting positive, long way to go and no doubt many twists and turns! Still early days of the new regime. I agree we still have time to turn it around and climb the table. Once the team get into a decent fitness and training regime I think we will see a change also the incoming new players will be an asset as long as we do not have too many injuries.

Which incoming players? So far we have signed one, and he is now out for up to three months. I thought Swansea was a catastrophe, losing to Everton the way we did was a catastrophe, now losing Schlupp is a catastrophe. On top of all that we can't sign any of the players Sam wants, and we have just lost the one he did. This is not going well. If Sam pulls this one round, he is a miracle worker. The right place at the right time
