Except its absolutely the right direction to go at the moment. Regardless of financial clout there is absolutely no point in trying to sign permanents, anyone we would want would more than likely not come, we don’t know what division we will be in and we don’t want to be burdened with wrong players ...

Blackett is fine there. Adds height and strength to the back line as well If Llori leaves then would need to play centre back. As it is Lllori is injured and may not be available for Bolton. I really don't understand why people think Ilori is Welsh and spell his name wrong on the first letter. It's...

Hound Didn’t say he was good there

He isn’t good anywhere, he’s just marginally better at left back than he is on his natural right - where he is utterly and unequivocally atrocious.

I really don’t have a problem with Richards, if we had to start him every game at LB it wouldn’t be ideal but there are other positions and players which I feel let us down considerably more. Besides, Blackett has improved there and Gunter is alright on the left. Whilst we’re on the subject what’s ...

We were looking at this lad a few years ago before he signed for Chelsea iirc was definitely promising at that stage but I confess have no idea how he has progressed since then.

Royals and Racers And so is Swansea v Birmingham so that blows your reasoning out of the water !!

Oh. Yeah I've got nothing then.

People like Swansea and Birmingham though.

Do they though?

I mean granted there’s more appeal than Reading and Bolton, but not a lot.

Royals and Racers SKY sports saying they are showing Swansea v Birmingham on red button but nothing about Bolton v Reading.

It’s a rearranged Saturday fixture so not scheduled for midweek red button.

That describes almost every Liverpool fan I have ever met. Big 6 eh? Wouldn't know football if it kung fu kicked them in the chest. I’m assuming none are actually from Liverpool and most haven’t been, and a lot couldn’t even point to it on a map. No none are. Harsh to judge them on geography though...

As far as the game I really think this is a big one, not just the points but will really set the tone for the rest of the season. If we harbour any hopes of staying up then this is a game we really should be winning.

I thought we were supposed to get that Man Utd guy? The really good one? Anyhoo Arsenal fans I know seem to think this guy is really quite good but Arsenal fans are essentially cultists who are punished every year as payment for the invincibles season so what would they know about football? I have ...

The answer is David Coote. There is no need to waste time having a debate about it.

Sian Massey for me. But each to their own.

Sian Massey-Ellis, married now.

She would keep her last name wouldn’t she the line lingering pasty femtard.

Old Man Andrews We may be jumping the gun slightly in assuming Martinez will go straight in as first choice. Gomes might just want a stronger number 2 than Sam Walker to put pressure on Jaakkola.

No way. If Gomes wants him here it's to start.

Looking at the lack of appearances during his career it's not exactly a stretch to say this isn't the most thrilling signing. Then again a certain Mr M Hahnemann had made less than 10 appearances in English football when he rocked up on loan from Fulham. I mean, a keeper is a bit of a bonus signing...

John Madejski's Wallet What an uninspiringly sh*t loan move this is

Seen him in action a lot have you?

Assume he is better with his feet and therefore more comfortable than the options we have in playing Gomes' style. Looking at his career, hard to get a feel of how good he is but bare numbers are: Premier League Apps 6 Clean sheets 3 Championship Apps 32 Clean Sheets 9 (5 at Wolves, 2 each for Wedn...

Will go down in history as the only Arsenal keeper to concede 5 goals to a Reading side.

Happy with this. Finally a proper striker of quality. Isn't going to score a hatfull but hopefully will act as a focal point up front and give us some attacking fluidity. That being said, just with our luck, I fully expect him to either get injured instantly or be completely shit. Also make sure he...
