And they then get done for false accounting. I can't see why Cardiff are suing Nantes over this. - Cardiff buy Sala from Nantes with a fee agreed. - Sala signs for and is registered by Cardiff, and is a Cardiff player (as determined by a Court) - Cardiff pay Nantes the agreed transfer fee. - Sala di...
I am beginning to feel the first stirrings of wanting to go again as a result of this season; Returning to the back row of of the upper west? Just like the good old days...... Sadly not; I did check out where my old season ticket seats were - GU6 - and they are now part of Club 106, Royals Suite an...
I'm another who became disillusioned with not just Reading, but football generally, after we got promoted the 2nd time; the 05/06 squad kept the friendly approachable ethos that had existed before we hit the big-time and managed to stay grounded in the first 2 seasons in Prem, but once the Russians ...
Thats an amazingly shitty thing for Steve Evans to have done to Stevanage at this stage of their season; their fans must be in meltdown on their fans forums! And if anyone needed any proof that Evans is a thoroughly unpleasant bloke, this is it. And Graham Westley has returned to manage Stevanage ag...
The three best teams in this Division all season have been Pompey, Derby and Bolton, and as well as wishing them every success in the Championship next season, I think all 3 are teams that can sustain a Championship (and obviously potentially Premier League) team far more so than a Barnsley, Peterbo...
The Burton v Cheltenham game is on Tuesday night. A draw between them will mean we are mathematically safe (barring any further points deductions). We are mathematically safe. If Cheltenham don't win they can't catch us, if Burton lose they can't catch us. It's not possible for Cheltenham to win an...
79 Points is enough to absolutely guarantee survival at the beginning of the season. But, as you say, painful to track after every game by every team. Maybe in my retirement. That would mean 20 teams would finish with at least 79 points, and 1 team with 78 points. That would total 1,658 points (if ...
Next season it should start from 138 and be updated weekly on how many more points we still need to finish top. Standards must be raised. The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is there. But keeping it up would be a mammoth bal...
There are simply too many variables and "unknown unknowns" to be able to state with any certainty what the total number of points needed is for any of the 4 desired outcomes at the start of the Season (with the exception of the 136 needed for Champions).
The takeover is the single most important thing that can make me optimistic for next season or not; frankly, as a fan I want to be proud of my club, and the owner behaving the way he as done has eclipsed any genuine enjoyment I have had for this season. Get rid of Dai and then I am 100% buckled up i...
At the game last night, I heard that Jamie Cureton has Motor Neurone disease; terrible news if true. :cry: Maybe they were getting confused with Marcus Stewart? Ex Rovers striker who had a fund raiser recently for it alongside Stephen Darby. Ah - bollox; pleased for Jamie; sad for Marcus Stewart (w...
Last night was hugely enjoyable - and not just because we won. Great to go to an old school football ground, with old school fans whilst standing on a proper terrace again; loved it! From where I was just behind the dug outs, the noise by our away fans was exceptional; a lot or grudging nods of appr...
This quote today on the BBC Sport website from Andros Townsend really hacks me off, and demonstrates the arrogance of the whole of the Premier League..... "Townsend said he thinks clubs had not anticipated that punishments for breaching the rules would be "this severe". "Everton ...
The thing with something being "theoretical" is that it could happen; so if we win twice (tomorrow and Saturday) we would have 52 points. In the event that Port Vale, Cheltenham and Fleetwood lose both their games midweek and Saturday, none of them can get more than 50 points, which means ...
