Here they is then…
I’m sure that highly esteemed contributor Fatfish won’t object to me sharing that which he very kindly shared on the previous blog.
“Just got back to hotel after game & beer today (more beer due shortly). Not read anyone else’s thoughts yet, but here are mine.
Deserved a point, but that’s all. Hutton woeful for the goal.
Daws & Gallas were rocks. Bassoon, OK considering not used to LB.
Lennon gave the ball away far too much & will never play a decent final ball. How can a premiership player get away with. If he can’t do it now, never will.
Jenas. End of, I’ve lost patience with him now. How are we going to find out if Sandro is up to it if he doesn’t play?
Pienaar, did OK but I don’t he was used to the amount of movement that we play with, but will be fine. VdV. OK but frustrated & frustrating. Cut out the diving.
JD, offered himself but never really given too many chances except for the poor miss just before HT.
I’ve left Modders till last on purpose. If this guy doesn’t win player of the season, there is no justice. I don’t just mean for us, I mean PFA, football writers, Ballon D’or …next Pope?
The man is just unbelievable. There was one point in 1st half when he rode about 5 tackles retained possession & played a stunning ball to Pienaar. Even the Geordie bar stewards stood & applauded.
One other point. The Yid army totally out sung the Geordie boys. I was in amongst the Newcastle fans & the support from our fans was brilliant.”
Reports from the front-line like this are invaluable. :daumen:

BBC interview with Levy

Here’s a copy of something I posted on a yahoo comment board at the weekend about the “Olympic legacy”
What happened to the 1948 Olympic stadium at White City? It became a dog track.. then later, QPR grabbed a slice to build Loftus.. and now its a shopping mall,and a motorway spur,Ah nostalgia ….Why can I not go back there to re-envision those magical moments I experienced as a 4 year old boy, do I care, no, not in the slightest.
Seb Coe should grasp with both hands the opportunity to win a permanent home for athletes at Crystal Palace, he should forget the lies and promises he made to the public to get the bid accepted in the first place, and get to work on building a more robust Athletics community.
The Spurs bid is the only realistic bid on the table…. Super elevated Lord Coe, DO EVERYONE A FAVOUR, and BACK OFF.
COYS
I agree we should see what Steve Ovett has to say, I always suspected that Coe was a cheat… KWIM
Hate to admit it, but am starting to think that the whole stratford hotspur thing could be our viable option, and maybe even makes sense as well. The debates gone on for too long.. and n17 redevelopment seems dead,
one thing has my goat about this stratford business. If the Northumberland project no longer makes financial sense, surely Dan Dan has had an idea of this for quite some time. It seems more and more likely that he had full-on intentions of moving to stratford or elsewhere before he put the bid in for the OS. Has the last few months just been a gradual appeasement / weaning / red herring process to try and gradually exhaust the anger of leaving N17. “Oh no, I’ve tried my very very best but my hands are tied.” I realize I’m not the first to put this opinion forward. But the following, I assure you, is all my own: brilliant strategy Dan Dan, but it also kind of makes you a dick.
I think somewhere in the dim & distant past (It all seems so long ago now that we first saw the nice shiny naming rights images), Levy was genuinely four square behind the NPD, but the current financial situation has gradually made the OS more of a lure.
I think the club have been very economical with the truth and Lammy & co. have played right into that by allowing themselves to be the pantomime villains.
The shift in focus has everything to do with the cost of finance and Joe Lewis’ losses on the markets and very little to do with construction viability and compulsory purchase costs… which would be in the low 10’s of millions at best.
By moving to the OS, Levy can sell the site at WHL, nearly cover the cost of construction and make the difference up with sponsorship & vending rights etc. Stay at WHL and you have to finance at least £150-200m from outside sources that you can’t guarantee from the value of the land and at the moment, the cost of that money would be like building a new wing to the building every year… I mean the banks aren’t even lending to each other, let alone a football club in the most depressed area of London with 0% growth in property values.
so could the dome down south be used,can it handle supporter traffic,if it can f*ck it,lets get a move on,build a 70,000
it may rid us of this gypsy goon curse to turn the tables and we’d be the big dick down south
count me in
