Euell to Selhurst would give me the Palarse-ache I watched the Arsenal v Chelsea game on Sunday in a busy pub and the pace of the game amazed me. It was what we used to call a real blood & thunder English league game with the ball going from one end to the other without a stop for breath. The weird thing was there were hardly any English players playing. Just shows how the foreign players are adapting to our game as opposed to us following their style. That's not going to help us win the World Cup now is it?

How much money does Chrissy Powell want for gawd sake? Christ, West Ham must be in a right two and eight as they say in that part of town. Pardew has completely changed that team with only Dailly, Repka (because no one else will have him) and Lomas the only players remaining from their time in the Premiership but they still have real boardroom issues, no cash and the locals are not happy. Perhaps he should consider joining Hornchurch, who I am told are getting a fresh injection of money.

The latest transfer window rumours have us offloading Jason Euell to Palarse. Why would we want to do that? How many Premiership midfielders have scored more goals than him in recent seasons? I'm a big of fan of Euell but he hasn't been the same fella since he had a row with Curbs last season and how many times have we seen that become an end to a players time at the Valley? Well, I hope he stays. Its a squad game and we need players like him.

See the Youth Team lost tonight at Everton in the FA Youth Cup. Oh well, a youngster going onto play in the first team is a bigger reward than a couple of trophies but try telling that to the sad young faces on the long journey home from Liverpool after the euphoria of last week.
