Do you expect the MOTD pundits to watch all 90 minutes of every game?

In Purley-speak I made one of my all too rare sortees into the provinces yesterday and I may confirm that Sakho was indeed a beast, Luka was great esp 1st half stopping WBA, less visible in 2nd half but only cos we were attacking more, but did still manage to thread Townsend in with a peach of a pass inside their last defender, Ward is struggling - was better a a year or two back when we were backs to the wall, more controlled slower possession and he looks a bit clueless, and Benteke has been under-rated, he gets asked to do an awful lot of donkey work but the way he instantly brings the ball down and can lay it off with a trick is pure class, it's a shame that we don't use those attributes of his more, not just putting the ball in front of his hefty nut - and Townsend should have played him in but he scored the 2nd goal so he is forgiven, but Tekkers pozzy on the far post gave Andros more vital space.

For some unknown reason AP seemed to think Cabaye could function as a defensive midfield player. No wonder we're seeing benefits now he's playing in his natural position.

There was a pass against Everton to Remy.

One in the first half last week to Wilf.

The assist today.

Three examples of what Cabaye has that no other player in the squad does. The weight of his passing is just sublime at times.

West Purley is there such a place? I thought it was called Coulsdon and they all now shop in Aldi, after the sad demise of the Red Lion.

West Purley is the name given to the area past the library halfway up and left. All those private roads with houses costing a few million now and large enough for flats holding 15 homes which is eventually what they will be. Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt were neighbours there.

It isn't Coulsdon although there is an electronic gated entrance to these private roads on the other side by the road that runs from Coulsdon to Wallington.
