Re: FA Cup 5th Round

Re: FA Cup 5th Round

Never been both so relieved and disappointed with one penalty shootout. Posh were excellent and if they can unearth a really sharp striker and keep most of those players together, they'll charge up the league on that showing. Very impressive and easy on the eye. Can't imagine West Brom's mindset wil...

Re: Welcome back Brian

So delighted about this prospect, I'm making my first post since March 2013, when he was sacked and I threw my toys out of the pram. He always stood out as a very decent bloke and a breath of fresh air in football's increasingly fetid swamp and even if the level of success he achieved during what co...

Re: MCDERMOTT SACKED

Ridiculous decision and situation. Think that about does it with football for me for a bit. Just not sure what the point of it all is. Brian always appears to be a very decent man in a world full of pretty dislikeable people making obscene amounts of money. He's massively over-achieved by any reason...

Re: We are down. So next season who stays and who goes?

FFS, dithering? The dithering that's given this club the longest sustained period of success in its history including two spells in the top flight and not a dull season for years? The dithering that has appointed a series of sought-after managers? The dithering that will leave a decent long-term pla...

Re: Arsenal Match Thread Sponsored by Bradford City

I may regret typing this, but think Arsenal are going to regret being so wasteful despite their dominance when Mariappa scores from a Shorey corner on 43'

Re: SIGNED - Pierce Sweeney

FWIW, in the context of the heated debate on the rumours board, I was in the hotel on Friday afternoon on a conference, and the lad was in with his parents in the bar with Nick Hammond having sealed the deal, so some of the "ITK" posts about conversations and deals being done in public are...

Re: RUMOUR - Darius Henderson

As Pardew's star continues to rise (justifiably imo) worth recalling that he said Henderson would be a premiership footballer. Seemed incongruous at the time, and to be fair, he didn't set Watford alight, but he was right, and I wouldn't bet against him getting another run. Stoke must be due another...

Re: Hopeless football league teams blog (97-98 season)

Aah. Happy memories, mainly of the Mercury Rev album, which is still gorgeous and one of my favourites. Unlike Brayson. Also when I first started going regularly to games. I quite enjoyed that sinking feeling. Proper football.

Re: Mr Marcus Williams

Hmm. Worrying as the consensus is, give the lad a chance. Fair enough to knock him based on the evidence of your own eyes, but don't take cheap shots just because he was cheap and where he came from. It would be a tough call for me to say who my favourite player was pound-for-pound between Doyle and...

Re: Reading are crap

Funny original post, but Arch (in particular) and Pearcey are spot on in their response to it and to the various semi-hysterical posts here and elsewhere from people who want to have their cake and eat it. Proud as I was to see Reading thrive in the top-flight (itself a bizarre concept as apart from...

Re other popular signings, I was made-up when Scott Murray signed and I don't think I was alone. Still sad that one never worked out.

Fantastic news! I really feel the club are back heading in the right direction and doing things the Reading way after a blip. I don't post on here often anymore, but looking back at the thread from Jan, it's quality not quantity: "Very pleased with this. Even if he doesn't work out, he's a righ...

Re: Algeria v England [OFFICIAL THREAD]

Agree with earlier posts. I haven't been excited about England or cared since '98, but somehow I am still angry now. Point already made, but the sheer arrogance of Gerrard saying that was their cup final. Who the f*ck do they think they are? Everything that makes me hate football. Nearly as bad as S...

Re: Is this the worst Liverpool squad

Aquilani doesn't even look like a footballer. What are they feeding them in Liverpool? Benayoun looks like he's not eaten for weeks.
