Rumours are circulating that Mcginn is out for 8 weeks. If true we're in trouble.

RLC isn’t a bad player. He’s just always broken.

WHy did I think he was at Notts Forest?!

I always get him confused with Hudson-Odoi...

At least he'd be OK for the WC (unless of course Agent Orange proceeds with his invasion of Europe and we all forfeit the competition).  Obvs my main concern is the Villa, but it'd be pretty awful for SJM to miss out on playing at a WC as well as missing out on winning something with Villa.

Someone said to me this morning that apparently it was the back of the knee. I said then that it was probably a meniscus tear. There's 8 types, most of which don't need surgery. If that's the case, probably 4-8 weeks.

Sorry!

We're not spending £40m or whatever Palace want on Mateta. It's being used purely to hurry along the Abraham deal.

I posted that and got called an “incredible twat”.

watching the villa/everton game ,  my girlfriend said before the game , SJM is limping walking on , I replied yeah right , keep off the vino.

I now think she had a point.

Friend of a friend. So I guess I'm perpetuating the rumour.

I watch Palace loads with father in law ( season ticket holder )  and hes 80 and struggles now with trains never running and the weather and cost so I always let him watch Palace here at home and he really likes Villa too as his grandson is mad Villa , you can imagine how we feel watching Villa v CP.

I would say If fans get on Watkins back regarding his easy chances missed then wait until they see Mateta play , he misses loads.
What we really want is a striker who converts 100% of his chances.
Does he exist?
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.  The boffins in the scouting department need to buck their ideas up.  Is it really that much to ask for a shit hot 22 year old German striker who scores 25+ goals a season and fits within our PSR requirements?

Come on, scouting team, this is primary school stuff.

The Candian lad on YouTube with his smooth show and Villa "den" - Pete is it, (?) clocked in the warm-up that Ginny was clutching his knee. Hopefully playing for 15 minutes didn't aggravate it further.
