The Round Ball Game

Pearson staying after all. Big cock up by Sky it seems.

But such rumours - on the smoke and fire principle - surely won't help him. Neither of course does that picture of him apparently attempting strangle a member of the opposing team and his somewhat evasive and enigmatic response when asked about it in an interview.

Yes, I remember his 'professionalism' when he was at Stoke and they were the dirtiest team in the Premiership. It's strange to hear him talk about Berahino lacking proper role models. Still, Burnley should have known what to expect.

Whilst being eternally grateful to Pulis for what he did for Palace, I still find it difficult to like the bloke.

Yes, the pressure on him must be enormous and he's clearly not handling it too well at times.

Evasive and enigmatic....he was never like that at Middlesbo'....

Thanks ER.

a frustrating evening at SMS. Saints really need more goals, in fact their superb defence has rather disguised the lack of goalscoring.

WHU rather disappointing tonight, didn't cause us any real problems.

I thought we talked about this kind of negativity Alison ?

It's not the winning that's important, it's the taking part. As long as your team played their very best, that's all that matters.
