    I was only a nipper in the 90s when we got promoted, so dont really remember a lot of the details.

    What I wonder is, did everyone cry and s*** themselves like a bunch of babies quite this much every time we dropped points back then? Before Van der Laan popped up with his glorious header to clinch second for us? 

    3 games to go. Bring on the Orient

    That team wasn't clogging around League One against awful opposition though was it? 

    I am old enough to remember last time we staggered out of this division with possibly a better squad. There were unhappy people sitting in the corner of the pub holding court, but with with the new fangled internet you can all moan together. I am dissapointed but some of you talk as if we can just turn up and play how we want, and the way the opposition play has an effect on our game.

    I was wondering how I can stay relaxed about things and the answer can to me as I goth the Panini sticker book for my birthday. The season I get my first season ticket our team was Boulton, Thomas, Daniel, McFarland, Todd, Nish, Macken, Daly, Powell, Gemmill, George, Hector, Hales, and James, manager Docherty. Just two years later Middleton, Langan, Buckley, Wicks, Moreland, McFarland, Rioch, Powell, Daly, Greenwood, Hill, Carter,Caskey, Duncan, manager Addison. Despite the additions of Langan, and Buckley who were both very good, the second team makes me sad, a feeling of greatness ebbing away.

    Just wondering if we were sorting the incoming's out before the Bird announcement,  so other clubs don't push up there prices/ demands for there players

    Like £1.5 mil loan fee for Smith and 150% of his wages?

    I'll be sad to see Bird go. It does seem like the end of an era, the youth team that had such quality and promised so much but through no fault of theirs failed to deliver what I hoped from them.

    'The way he sees the game is just completely different' - Deeneypublished at 13:59

    Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes would make a "really good pundit", according to former team-mate Troy Deeney.

    The pair regularly featured together during their time at Watford before Hughes made the switch to Selhurst Park in 2021.

    The 28-year-old has been a consistent feature in the Eagles' midfield, making 69 appearances in all competitions for the club since joining.

    Speaking on the latest episode of the Football Firsts podcast, Deeney said: "You know who would be a really good pundit, but would probably never do it? Will Hughes. He's got a very good understanding of the game.

    "He's the most miserable man you have ever met in your life, but he's just a cool kid. Obviously coming through the England set-up as a kid, you just get a different learning, a different tactical understanding. When you sit and watch football with him, the way he sees the game is just completely different.

    "Definitely [he could go into coaching] but he wouldn't. There was loads of times with Hughes when he was 23, 24 or maybe 25 at Watford and he would say 'there's no way I make it [playing] to 30', he's just an old moany so-and-so. But, you see him at Palace now, still playing and still doing well."
