HAVING attended the last three Premier League games involving the Wanderers I have seen:

(1) Two members of the coaching staff in Gillespie Road , Highbury searching for a spare shirt (2) The manager change the usual penalty taker for someboby who was clearly injured and has not played since (3) The result of a second bout of vacillation regarding goalkeeper cover in six months (Matt Clarke played in his 5th successive win for Palace at the weekend) If the objective is to have one season in the Premier to reduce debt, then say it.

To be the whipping boys is one thing, to be a laughing stock is quite another.
