    Poch has his choice of jobs it and the Arsenal one seems to have a lot of downsides and very little upside other than him not having to uproot his family and/or sticking it to Levy if he feels slighted.

    Small consolation, but Arsenal lost to Brighton.

    Too funny, the Arsenal support is already calling for Ljunberg's head...

    I think catching Leicester and Man City may be out of the question, although a month ago I would have said the same thing about 4th. Amazing how quickly things change.

    Seeing Selhurst go wild today brought back memories.

    Damn I miss Frankie Simek, even if I was the one that cursed him.

    shameful, that was. poor frankeh.

    I got to selhurst for the first time last April (palace v citeh), and you're right, it's a cracking football ground.* palace support is really quite good.


    *actually, you didn't say that at all. but i'm thinking you were implying it.

    It is a great old ground, but it takes forever to get there!

    holy moley, it did for me! it was really weird. I don't remember what station I went to in the city, but I bought a ticket to one of the stations close to the grounds which included a train that terminated south of the river, then a bus ride in London traffic to another station which then took me the final leg to the ground. I couldn't believe how convoluted it was. what was most ridiculous was that during that last stretch, the train stopped at a station that was also on the Northern Line. I could've just taken the tube down there and popped over, which would have been so much simpler (and surely faster). the reverse is how I returned post-match.

    I'm guessing (but certainly don't know) that it only went that way due to a stretch of temporarily closed tracks on the line, but crikey, it was maddening.

    Yeah I was with the Wednesday lads. I believe it was Southy who sorted it for me.

    This was the halftime when Tommo fell asleep. There's photos of the amazing sleeping footy fan somewhere on the internet.

    Tommo falling asleep at the footy was not a one-off, apparently. I believe it happened before, since, or both, as well … though memory doesn't serve me as well as it once did.

    It probably took the Brighton supporters less time to get there on Monday then it would for Spurs fans!

    Brighton fans can probably get to Palace quicker than they can get to the Amex, if there's any truth to the rumors of what that's like.

    I have grainy memories of the Goldstone Ground when the Albion were briefly in the top flight in the early 80s. I know for a while they played at the Withdean athletics ground and they even had to play a couple of seasons at Gillingham if I'm not mistaken, so the construction of the AMEX and their rise to the PL is a remarkable story.

    yeah, the Withdean was awful for football. almost as bad as when Rotherham was playing at the Don Valley athletics stadium in Sheffield.

    and to think … West Ham left a perfectly good - a really good - football ground for an athletics stadium. if I were a hammer **shudders** I would be beyond furious.

    I think the Spammers and their heathen support have still not come to grips with playing at the DildoDome. Long may it last.

    I remember when it was still uncertain where we were going to be playing during our 'one' season away from the Lane … would it be Wembley, MK, the Emirates, etc.? As that was the first season that West Ham would be in the Olympic Stadium, there was brief speculation that we might play that year at the vacated Upton Park. I can't imagine there was anything to it - although you've gotta think Levy would explore every conceivable option. But how weird would that have been?

    It actually may have happened if Daniel Levy didn't have such a fractious relationship with the Dildo Brothers and Karen Brady. They always resented the fact we picked off their better players (Defoe, Carrick, Parker) and that he stiffed them by loaning them an injured David Bentley and getting them to pay his wages for the final 6 months of his contract. There are a lot of things I don't like about Levy, but when he screws you, he screws you good.

    oh, and the Olympic Stadium bid. when he barged in with that late offer to reconfigure the stadium and upgrade the Athletics facility in south London, he was trampling on a lot of established political groundwork from the dildos. they were thinking they were already over the finish line and here comes Levy, with a very viable set of plans that would have taken a shitload of money out of their pockets. to say they're not interested in helping Levy/Spurs out is, as you suggest, very much understated.

    The whole awarding of that stadium to West Ham was a massive scam, but as usual, the politicos and the shady businessmen all got off scot-free.

    Even when we want the neighbours to do us a tiny favour, they still find a way to cack it up
