Name: Bruce Dyer In his 1990s prime for: Crystal Palace Lowdown: After beginning his career with Watford in 1993, Dyer was sold to Crystal Palace after less than one season with the club, moving for £1.1million, the record transfer fee for an English teenager at the time and England's first £1million teenager.

Newcastle have been linked with at least two young players at Crystal Palace over the last six months. Nathanial Clyne excellent young full-back One is Wilfried Zaha, the 19 year-old Ivory Coast born winger/striker that Newcastle showed interest in during January, and it would not be surprising if Newcastle go after the player in the [.

After I wrote a while ago that Manchester City were the clear favourites for the Premier League title this year, my opinion seems to have changed over the past few weeks. Their recent form has seen them playing decent enough but Manchester United have gone that extra mile. Manchester City has lost on far too many occasions this season.

The Sky Sports News 'Babelcopter' takes to the skies once again!

What with it being Transfer Deadline Day and all, we diligent folks at Pies are going to endeavour to keep you abreast of all the confirmed moves, rubber-stamped loans and the most goddamn ludicrous rumours that crop up until the window shuts tonight or at least until we can't be arsed any more.

Cardiff City keeper Tom Heaton was the hero for the Bluebirds as they edged out Crystal Palace in an absorbing cup clash at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Heaton saved two penalties in the shoot-out to send Cardiff to the Carling Cup Final at the expense of Dougie Freedman's spirited Palace side.

Despite what a quote attributed to Owen Coyle in Sporting Life says, Sebastien Le Toux is still a transfer target for Bolton Wanderers, if the money is available.

Alan Nixon, of The People and Mirror Football, is reporting that Bolton is focusing mostly upon wingers, but that Le Toux is still on the team's mind.

Bolton Wanderers have entered the market for Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha. Wilfried Zaha Newcastle back in for youngster Newcastle had held talks with the Crystal Palace Chairmen Martin Long and Steve Parish earlier in the week, after Palace were eliminated from the Carling Cup by Cardiff City.

When Eric Cantona of Manchester United did his amazing Kung-fu kick on an obnoxious Crystal Palace supporter seventeen years ago this month, I was there. By chance I was also an eye-witness thirty-five years earlier when United's goalkeeper Harry Gregg spectacularly whacked a spectator at Luton Town in April, 1960, knocking him to the ground.

Newcastle are in negotiation with Wilfried Zaha's representatives to bring the lad to Newcastle. Wilfried Zaha could be arriving at Newcastle With Crystal Palace having been eliminated last night from the Carling Cup at the semi-final stage by Cardiff City, the way is now clear for Palace to let their top 19 year-old move on.

Seeing Tony Popovic sat on the Crystal Palace bench against Cardiff last night bought warm memories oozing back of the Croaustraliatian centre-half's finest contribution to the Premier League annals; his majestic hooked own-goal during Palace's 3-1 defeat to Portsmouth at Fratton Park in 2004 a sublime effort that has since seen him become a bit of a Youtube Hall-Of-Famer.

Turn the Heaton szólj hozzá: CCCPhighlite www.1Goals.com Cardiff goalkeeper Tom Heaton booked his side's place in the Carling Cup Final with two penalty shootout saves against Crystal Palace. The Bluebirds progress to Wembley despite Eagles defender Anthony Gardner being the only player to find the net during the two-legged tie.

Anthony Gardner's own goal gave Cardiff the best possible start as the Bluebirds drew level on aggregate after losing in the first leg to a goal, ironically, scored by the aforementioned Gardner. Cardiff had five very good looks at goal (three by Kenny Miller) but could not convert those chances.

Clint Dempsey's 50th, 51st, and 52nd goal for Fulham lifted the Cottagers over Newcastle.

The first half was all Newcastle and just before halftime they went ahead through Danny Guthrie's superlative left footed strike. Martin Jol must have mixed chili powder in his half time pep talk as he effected two very important changes, taking Bryan Ruiz from central midfield, bringing on Chris Baird, and introducing Andy Johnson as Fulham turned the game a 180 degrees in the second half

The former Crystal Palace man made an immediate impact troubling the Newcastle defense with his zip.

In the most recent match-day programme Marcus Evans sent out a rare direct message to the fans.
As inconsistent results continue into the New Year, our club balances just four points above the Championship's relegation zone. So it's difficult, as a fan, not to feel concern for the direction our club is going.

"Twenty years ago, we sponsored Crystal Palace and they got to the FA Cup final. Then last week, we sponsored Newcastle and they beat Manchester United 3-love." "So we're a lucky brand, and may the luck continue throughout the rest of the season." The words of Sir Richard Branson, (3-love?? clearly a tennis fan!

Rumours are rife about Liverpool's alleged interest in 19-year old Crystal Palace striker Wilfred Zaha, but is the interest real, or is it just another made-up rumour? According to Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman, both Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in signing the England U19 International.

Manchester United and Liverpool have made enquiries about Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, but have been told the teenager is not for sale.
Eagles boss Dougie Freedman has put together an exciting young squad, with 19-year-old forward Zaha the cream of the crop.
Palace moved to offset a potential January exit by tying Zaha to a long-term contract, but that has not stopped the speculation.

Good look at how it works, usage and abusage, here.

My thought (and comment) is that if Premier League clubs were to be restricted to a fixed number of professional players, as per baseball (where it's known as a 40 man roster), part of the problem would disappear.

Player A is a Liverpool reserve they bought from Crystal Palace when he was 17 because they thought he might one day be good.

Wigan forward Victor Moses is being linked with a possible move away from the DW Stadium after the player's agent revealed that he is yet to sign a new contract.
The former Crystal Palace player initially struggled to make the step up to the Premier League but this season has rediscovered his best form and has been one of Wigan's best players.
