Eze's main ability is to drift round avoiding the rough and tumble and responsibility, and end up with good timing centrally on the edge of the box whereby he can have a pop at goal. This he is very good at. Other things he isn't so reliable. Still, the club did well with the transfer fee.

The product is high price, low quality, as exemplified by the team that won it mainly by fouling and play acting as well as VAR and dire referees. The game is in a sorry state. As for Guessand, there's nothing special about him and we have others in that forward support role.

Ha ha, yes I knew about him! Imagine selling Mateta and bringing back Edouard, oh boy...

If it is Sage he will likely have a couple of players to recommend, as with Glasner and Kamada and Lacroix. Knowing next to nothing about Lens I await developments with interest.

That ended well...

I'm not saying that Pardew should be considered, I'm saying he's available, like Dyche, who, for similar reasons, should not be considered.

What is crazy is that Arsenal have spent hundreds and hundreds of millions just to be at the park the bus stage...

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Alan Pardew returns for a second stint either. He has been seen seated by Steve Parish, he's got to be 250/1.

How to bake something out of nothing. Bookies and media pundits grasp a handful of names out of thin air and the circus wheels start to roll. Increase speculation with fictitious articles and odds shorten, leading to more speculative articles. Now the hype is "real". The average fan starts to...

I can't figure out if Eze is a bit dim, arrogant or just ill-advised, but to do the same failed procedure again and again and not realise that just maybe a change in approach is in order. Particularly when he is accurate from a deadball situation just outside the box. Very odd indeed. I was...

Parish has said in interview that remaining in the EPL is the priority. We now have a further European adventure to navigate. Our stay in the EPL has wavered between 10th and 15th, so we average out as a just below mid table team despite recent success. Any chance of pushing on would require...

The more I think about it, Parish finds himself in a bit of a bind. Caught between the success of the departing manager and the brief for the incoming can't be easy. Premiership = don't get relegated, ok a job for Roy. Europe, take us as far as possible = a job for OG. Combine the two with a...

Thank f*** for that.

The extra games in the most lightweight of Euro competitions, plus the lightweight squad, particularly after the sale of two key players, newcomers not hitting the ground running, and the manager announcing his departure whatever happens led to a lacklustre league campaign. I get the impression...

There are a lot of variables to consider, cost, previous form, form with Palace, injury record etc. Stripping it back to basics: Larsen, needs to do more and I think has more to offer. Pino: I have no worries about him, this is his first season and he has shown flashes of why he is a Spain...

On the contrary, Parish is obviously the best chairman the club has had, can't really compare with those before 2010 who led the club to near ruin. The proof is in the pudding - solvent / success on the pitch with trophies in the cabinet / plans for stadium overhaul and improvement. In the...

You caught me out, I should have wrote "jester" instead of "clown". Oh well...

At the very least I can see that Kamada has played an important role in helping us win both the FA Cup and the Conference, arguably with MOTM performances. He also plays at international level and will be representing his country in the upcoming World Cup. He's not as bad as some clown on here...

How do you know how far into the process the club is? Are you an insider? Or are you merely speculating or overheard it from a man walking his dog on Brighton beach?

Your not saying Parish has tapped up some names on the list? More likely he wrote a few names on the back of a napkin with a "to do later" note to himself.
