    Glad Dillashaw won, and at a canter as well. Lineker makes weight only half the time and for me it was clear he lost to Dodson last time out. Yeah that was great from Marbrandt, did not expect him to beat Cruz at his own game, not going charging in and instead picked Cruz apart. To go 5 rounds...

    Oh I dunno. BB won't last forever. ; Yeah not surprising. Marrone got a better set of results with a markedly worse QB, RB and offensive line compared to what Ryan was able to play.

    I don't mind Houston winning the division at all, with the play they've had at QB and no Watt all season, despite the division not being the strongest O'Brien's done a sound job there this season. Pack on a role. When the run game is stuffed we've now got Rodgers in continued excellent form...

    Player of the Season..

    Only real contender is Michail Antonio. Pretty much everyone else has been below par for most of the season. Only one who's close to him has been Kouyate, but with switching to a back three and him needing to drop back, it really limits his effect on the game - great box to box central player...

    Anyone but Jenkinson. Started well but had a naff second half in 2015 and was inept at the start of last season. At the very least those three positions are the ones we really need...

    Palace ask Pardew to 'stand down'

    Found Parish's comments a bit odd. While it's totally fair him saying something along the lines of Pardews way isnt working, we need to go in another direction... being specific when mentioning the styles of football is at odds with the oft-trumped line of "Sam's football isn't as bad as it's...

    Palace ask Pardew to 'stand down'

    For a second there i thought that was Hoggle from Labyrinth... ... If it's Allardyce to replace him, hes lucked into taking over a team that if theory will allow him to play how he wants what with Benteke upfront. Iirc he got on well with Tomkins as well after the aborted use of him as a...

    Palace ask Pardew to 'stand down'

    Uncomfortable for some to realise but Pardew evidently leaves them where he took them over, i.e. hovering in the lower reaches midway through a season. Squad seems to be much better than what he took over, but, like many of his past spells, got in a bad funk after previously leading them...

    Everton Appoint Ronald Koeman - 3 year deal

    "Joyless" was in reference to not accepting/liking/being able to skim over a quip and half-joke, rather than an assessment of Palace fans. Which I never made, ever - I even bothered to check the other thread to confirm. Glad to be of service to help clear that up. ...apologies the little half...

    Everton Appoint Ronald Koeman - 3 year deal

    Wouldn't disagree with that. I also think that for all the fluff last season that various ex footballers and media 'experts' trumped about how lovely and competitive the Premier League really has always been on the pure basis of Leicester being champs one season, this season seeing how that gap...

    Jesus, it was merely a quip. How joyless it must be.

    Everton Appoint Ronald Koeman - 3 year deal

    In bad form but its not like they have the team to be up there with Spurs and Man Utd. 1pt off the top of that next group in December, is hardly indicative of a team in terrible peril.

    Did our best to balls it up but Rodgers and Crosby, with Lions and Vikes losing too, lovely day.

    Meanwhile in 1FF, i finished with the 3rd highest total yet finished 12th. Booooo :) Shame that few people gave up early though, as it seemed to create gimmes down the stretch. I quite liked the depth of the league this year in terms of team numbers, it made the waiver wire harder and made you...

    American Football

    I agree to an extent. For me though it comes down to how good Gurley really is - since teams with a very good defence (which is what the Rams should be) and a good RB often get to within sniffing distance or occasionally in playoffs even with a below average qb, which theyve not been near. If...

    Got to hand it to the Lions and this run they're on. We're back playing well but now face Seattle at Lambeau next week and likely have to win to keep pace. I now eagerly await the injury report for next week, hoping Rodgers hammy rests up and there are are no new nasty surprises.

    We'll naturally be linked with every half decent striker this Jan with Zaza's loan surely ended early, and Sakho-Carroll the two headed sicknote. Market inflation aside, that would be an huge fee for Wilson...
