Villa bid 30m because they knew we wouldn't have been able to match that. If we had just agreed on £25 million a bit earlier before Villa even made the bid, we would've had him through the door. The reason Newcastle were and are stingy over transfers is because of PSR regulations. They...

This is exactly what I was trying to get across in my article, bravo

In 2023, Ekitike was refusing to turn up to PSG training because we were interested and he was trying to force a move. We kept lowballing and he went to Frankfurt instead. We were also lowballing Bristol City for Semenyo and Brentford for Watkins. Obviously I did not mean that they were keen...

Sad to say I'm not too surprised that happened - he did say that he took up boxing because he'd be attacked on the way to school by various antisemites. Nevertheless it seems not to have affected him anyway. In character for the knuckle draggers at the den regardless, haha

Haha that's hilarious. Given what else I've read about him that sounds very in character lol

People forget that Everton is a massive club, it's just in a lull at the moment. I also hate the soulless bowls that are the Spurs Stadium and the new Goodison doesn't look particularly good for atmosphere either. Part of the reason I love the idea of the main stand redevelopment is that it...

Always

How could the HF be fair game, they're not a hooligan firm as far as I know

Indeed he did, I do love quite near to Folkestone so it's quite cool that he played there

No need to apologise mate, admittedly I'd never seen the footage so it's good to see that goal for the first time. Cheers for that

Thanks very much mate, I really appreciate it. And yeah, we were claret and blue back then meaning in an alternate universe we could have a claret & blue derby with Burnley or Aston Villa, haha.

Tbf a family connection to a Palace player is probably the closest I could get to actually playing for Palace, haha. In Germany they do a cool thing where the big clubs have like Sunday League level teams. Most teams have a second team obviously (Borussia Dortmund II are in the third division)...

Funnily enough, he had a bit of a habit of scoring when we'd been 2-0 down. QPR were 2-0 down in the 1967 League Cup Final and he ended up scoring the winning goal for them :D

Honestly, unfortunately I barely knew him. When I was much younger and just getting into football my Mum told me I was related to a footballer, which of course at the time was amazing because I was completely obsessed with the game, made even better by the fact that he played for Palace...

Leeds basically played their reserves vs Millwall in that game though. That said, they'll be high on confidence regardless. Hope they get battered a couple more times before they come to Selhurst to reduce that confidence further after that Plymouth drubbing.

Weird question I mean yeah, I guess Identifying openly with a persecuted minority group will of course have things in common with identifying with another persecuted minority group

Hi all, my great uncle was Mark Lazarus - he played for Palace and was Wolves's record signing for a time at £30,000 although he only made 9 appearances for them as he fell out with the manager. He also played for QPR, Brentford, and Leyton Orient, and I believe was England's first openly Jewish...
