    I hope Pulis sees sense and doesn't go with Polish Man, Barry and Livermore as the midfield 3. Maybe krychowiak and barry with mozza as the #10. And Nyom at right back and Brunt/Gibbs left back.

    I'm surprised Gibbs went there, I hadn't noticed him being 6 foot 5.

    Sociedad to turn Madrid over on Sunday night.

    Aye, he might have signed him but at Brighton we went with Craig fucking Dawson at right back and moved right-back Nyom to left back. Never change, Tony.

    Left backs are brilliant. Full backs in general are my favourite players actually. Them and pure goal poaching strikers.

    Agreed. On the latter, watching Kevin Phillips take apart the Championship 8 or so years ago was a bloody joy to watch, and on the former, Igor Balis is a cult right back we had in the early 00s.

    Clarke Carlisle's gone missing, apparently. I thought he was hit by a train or something, or was threatening to jump in front of one? Have I totally made that up?

    It's beyond me why BT keep putting Sutton on our games.

    Their advert for whatever their new panel show is with Sutton and Savage furiously bantering seems to be designed to showcase what insufferable bellends they are.

    Ally McCoist being told he needs to 'get out more' because he knows that Argentina are struggling to qualify for the World Cup is a new low in the gleeful ignorance of our football coverage.

    This Bournemouth v Brighton game is a sad, sad spectacle. Bournemouth are going down and probably not getting 30 points. Brighton, meanwhile, are approaching the game as if they're San Marino and any foray into the opposition half is cause for a national holiday.

    All 22 players look scared to take a risk, so far. Defoe/King have no chemistry as a strikeforce and Hemed/Gross are doing exactly the same as each other.

    No added on time at the end of the half sums it up.

    There's no more certain Tory voter in the Premier League than Eddie Howe, unless Franks Lampard sr and jr still count.

    There can't have been many more toothless teams than Brighton knocking around the Premier League years. I still can't believe they managed to score last week, let alone put 3 past a "Tony Pulis Team". Desperately need an actual striker, bless old Hemed. Maybe Izquierdo can speedster them something from the game.

    I really like Solly March as a player. One of those who I've seen play in about 20 different positions and always done a good job. England could, and do, do worse.

    Is Jamie Carragher Ibe's agent or something? I'm not having this 'Jordon' rubbish. Dele Alli can fuck off with it as well.

    I'm curious as to where you've seen March play Jim, not that he isn't decent. He's featured for England in age group games I think.

    On telly a lot last season, and once live randomly (which is worth TV 5 games for appreciating a player like that).

    As for Dele Alli, I see he's been signed by Mendes, if he couldn't come across as more of a colossal arsehole that will make him do so.

    I meant more positionally.

    Brighton's route to survival is figuring out how best to obtain corners, as that's about their only attacking threat. I dread to think what it'll be like when we're down there in early December. Triple captain Dunk for that one.

    Shame, as we were alright the first hour. We hadn't created much but neither had they. Lost the plot a bit for the last half hour.

    The huge downside of Dunk's block-happy style is when he goes diving in like a melon for the equaliser.

    I reckon I've seen him on both flanks, in the centre of midfield and at right back, though it's possible I've imagined some of those.

    I think they'll just about, and I mean just about, stay up. Unlike Bournemouth they're not going to get fisted in every away game.

    I think you may have merged him with another player. The 'both flanks' bit is right, and he's been used sparingly behind the striker. Definitely an exciting player.

    Yeah I like him too when I've seen him. They have another wide-ish player I've liked when I've seen him, although it's been very few and far between. I think he might be called Murphy.

    Hard work doesn’t really make up for a complete lack of goals from your lone striker. He’s good for a big cheer from the crowd when he runs really hard and barges someone off the ball, but he’s probably not good enough to start at this level.

    I see your point, but I think that kind of player can work in specific circumstances. It worked with us, because

    a) our midfielders bombed forward and scored a lot of the goals, especially the wide players

    b) once Long had knackered defenders for an hour, we could send on bloody Lukaku to take advantage

    He's been their best player by a mile today and was voted their best player last month. Benteke's finishing has just been awful.

    Long has absolutely no intention of scoring goals, or even taking shots. It's not what he's in the team to do.

    I was only half paying attention, but I think what happened was: co-commentator waxin lyrical about Southampton midfielder, commentator says "yeah he was left out by De Boer in his last game" errrr, that's Crystal Palace not Southampton. Then he realises his error, and corrects himself by saying he was getting confused with Ward-Prowse. Also a Southampton player.

    The missing piece in that scenario is more likely to be Lukaku than Shane Long.

    This Palace team is just packed full of players who need to be taken to the knacker's yard. Andros Townsend is another one. If my decision making was as bad as his, I'd be dead.

    Andros is a player I always thought was shite. I remember saying this at the pub, and a load of the FOOTBALL BANTZ LADZ who were the "popular kids" at my school took the piss and implied I only thought that because I didn't actually play football. I'm not sure what relevance this anecdote has to anything, but whatever.

    There has been a whiff of Sunderland about them since some time last year (I would like to put it on Alan Pardew dancing, but it probably pre-dates that), so what a don Big Sam is.

    Palace have just been laying the ball back to a defender to punt into the box for the last 20 minutes of this match. Totally devoid of any creativity.

    Barry, Krychowiak and Morrison midfield today, very happy with that. And we've got a left-back playing at left-back! I can just about accept Dawson at right back.
