    I am contenting myself woth the thought that we have three midfielders better than Grealish.....

    Yes ts, but even SACDs stick sometimes! As I think you have remarked before Grealish shines because he plays in a not brilliant team!

      Despite playing in a not brilliant team, Cloughie.

      One of the few English players I would pay money to see....if I could........

        Football365 - One of our eight writers backs Manchester United to win the title. A couple see big things on the horizon for Bruno Fernandes.


        This is Football 365’s predictions for the new season. Any dis/agreements? For me, pretty much spot on.

            I'd have John McGinn in my team, anton, not that I understand Fantfootie, but he's a former Buddy, so that has to be a good thing...I assume Villa are still in the English Premier league, by the way.

            On a different issue, I notice that in the FA Cup this evening there is a team called the New Salamis, which must be the wurst name I ever heard for a footie team.

              They may need a slice of luck if the are to progress.

                What’s your team name? Needs to be Anton’s Hangers - I reckon you need Jeff Stelling as your trusty mentor - he has the Prem knowledge and the understanding of a humble Hanger!

                            Solid performance from Palace against somewhat sub-par Saints. Good to see to see Zaha looking sharp and scoring the sort of goal he was prone to miss last season. Eze came on and looked lively with good potential to become a fans' favourite.

                                Well, thats our annual first day defeat out of the way, with no real damage to the goal difference. A big step up on last seasons first day drubbing at burnley

                                1997 was last time we won on day one, apparently. Whenever that was. Listened to most of it in a traffic jam, and contemplating a life where things like going to a football match are regulated by things like having up to date “health passports”.Makes a 1-0 defeat to south london’s finest( tm) seem rather insignificant.

                                ( That will have been sweet for Zaha, after his issues with us over the last two seasons. )
                                Apparently the token fans at Ross County weren’t even allowed to leave early when they were five down.
