Re: BFTG Birmingham (A)

Old Man Andrews
The only thing that is important here is that we lost, again.
Clement has arguably lost the players ....

Re: BFTG Birmingham (A)

Yes, but apart from Swift the players always seem to want to pass backwards as first choice (do you remember one of our old players, Chris Gunter?)-it is a mindset which IMHO needs changing. It might be different if we had Beckenbauer and Bobby Moore at the back but we haven't. Clearly some team / ...

Re: who do you want as the new manager

A fan's favourite (with a track record, obvs) Murts / Parky for me - but that would presumably need to be next season. Shorter term availability to end of season and see how it goes from there - i'd be OK with a seasoned pro like Rednapp Can't see Coppell wanting to. Pards would, but would the fans?...

Re: Sheffield Utd - Back from the game

we struggled to much at all until the final quarter of the game ... Our fouling played right into their hands today allowing them to control the pace of the game, taking breathers when needed and taking quick balls at the right time. [See Ref below!] Our defenders were ... easily led around by the ...

Re: Sheffield Utd - Back from the game

This. What I said. Don’t really agree with the pressing. Other teams have not pressed and sat back, and actually nullified us more (Norwich and Hull imo didn’t really press up Top) Think that’s a big oversimplification In a way you play the possession style expecting the oppo to press, the aim is to...

Re: Sheffield Utd - Back from the game

if you don't play a striker you're not going to score goals? Haven't seen many games this season, but what I saw seemed typical of recent stats. Couldn't work out Aluko and Barrow - too lightweight, back to goal, try to win possession under pressure, then what? Unless Beerens was there to run onto ...

taipairoyal First good riddance never liked Clarkson, Gotta be Mad Dog, Parkinson or even McDermott, lets get back to basics, no more ticky tacky

Voted for Brian in the poll listed, but Parky would be top of my list. Reading legend who has earned his chance as manager.

When questioned about the delay, he just advised me to read the posts on HNA.

Yeah, glad I stopped by HNA today, just for that.

Yes, but this has nothing to do with "Americans" despite Johnny Fordham's tweet. That's an insult to Americans. The problem is nouveau-riche dickhead business owners who don't actually understand branding.

Re: Reading Royals

I thought that was already our name :oops: I think for us, this is the point. Since we were never Town, or City, or United, or Academicals, or whatever, then the Royals tag has been no problem. The negative point is forcing a new brand on a club that already has one in the fans eyes. As far as I'm ...
