The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Crystal Palace away in the mid 90s. Maybe 93 or 94. I went along hoping to get in but it was a sell out.Originally posted by Neil Young View PostOk, my mistake. I can't be bothered looking up what game I'm thinking of then.
I probably imagined it anyway.

6-1, 1994. I just checked. But no, that's not what I was thinking of, much later. I must have imagined it.
A check back from 86-95 suggests we nearly always used to win our opening game. I suspect the only lesson there is simply we were better in those days.
Someone needs to complete the Wiki article on our 1985-86 season.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Yep, the opening game was always a banker in the good old days. It all started going wrong when Chelsea beat us at Anfield in Abramovich's first game.Oh I don't know.Comment

I really hope Hughes will try to adapt a ball-playing approach against us. I think they could be in for an absolute hammering if they do that.

The big worry if he maintains the direct approach is that we aren't great in the air. Our fullbacks are a particular worry in that regard and if Hughes makes his team play as he did at Blackburn I would expect a severe examination in that regard.
Flipside of that is that Stoke's lack mobilie defensive players combined with the evidence of how Hughes tactics worked at QPR suggest that if we can dominate midfield we will get a lot of chances."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

They kept another cleansheet at the weekend, another 0-0 with Adam playing off Crouch, the lone front man.If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?Comment

Replace Sterling for Suarez and that team can compete with any in the Prem I think.Originally posted by DKdan View PostI really hope Hughes will try to adapt a ball-playing approach against us. I think they could be in for an absolute hammering if they do that.
