    I think Dubravka being injured could be far more significant than people realise... He was tremendous last season... Our back up really isn't anywhere near as good.

    He got 11 clean sheets and saved around 30 more shots than any other GK in a side that creates very little and has around 30 - 35% possesion... We mugged so many teams last season it was unreal.

    Yeah Brighton could be in it too. Got a real feeling that this might be the year Palace go though.

    Hope so anyway, they've had enough time now n there's too many London clubs at the minute.

    How long is he out for? He did do well last year.

    You're right about mugging sides tbf, probably the worst team to do the double over us since Rochdale in the third division. Still don't quite know how we lost up there last year.

    Yeah Palace are on a wretched long run of ****e form. Looks like Zaha is off and without him they’re right in the mix.

    True enough, there are eleven teams with a good shout for relegation and Newcastle are just one of them.

    6 weeks mate

    I'm very concerned he makes 3 or 4 great saves a game... He's very very hard to beat... He has a flaw on knowing when to come for crosses, but he's easily the best goalkeeper we've ever had and without sounding bias I believe he's one of the best in the league..

    I don't think he was as good personally, but he was certainly better than pav

    You. Ever have had to play football to know Given was brilliant 90% of his career.

    Just misses out on being the best LB to Ashley Cole.

    Now that ^ would be good to watch.

    I think I’d actually pay money to witness it.
