One thing with players leaving is that not only could a fee be involved ( helping short term cash flow) but the wage bill would be reduced ( helping mid to long term cash flow). Would it be the end of the world? Of course not. Will it happen in the next twelve months? Again, of course not as there w...
The longer the club keep quiet, the less time to sign players. THEN, the club can say that because of technicalities, we will be unable to sign our preferred targets as they are no longer available. It still is The Reading Way!
Very impressed with Columbia. What pleased me more than anything was that they did the simple stuff extremely well. Pass to a team mate then get into space to get the ball back. Comparing England and the way we played to the way Columbia played was a little like comparing a Trabant with a Bugatti Ve...
I am taking it one game at a time and choosing who to support on that basis. All I hope for is that anyone but Brazil win it as I am sick of all the psychophantic slags licking their ring pieces and creaming their pants.
Anyone remember Bloodgate where the rugby player got banned for 12 months for feigning a blood injury? The Head Coach got a 3 year ban. Cricketers have also received lengthy bans for match fixing. However, anything associated with football appears to be a totally different basket case where foul pla...
Pointless is the word that comes to mind when some people consider English players to be as good as their foreign counterparts. How many England squad players play their club football abroad? Why so few?
Got fed up with the commentary on ITV and the perpetual w@nkfest of that retard Matterface and the dreadful Carlisle. Switched over and enjoyed the Mexico v Croatia game.
Without wishing to propagate a myth as a licentious, libidinous old man, I'm surprised none of you mongs haven't started a World Cup Honeys thread..... so here it is. I look forward to your Hurrell-esque contributions. Your starter to get you in the mood: http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo...
Considering the options open to Hodgson I can't think there was scope for radical change. What's more the problem is the number of players we have that play abroad. Two reasons spring to mind. Firstly, the vast amounts of money paid to ordinary players. Secondly, they are not good enough to attract ...
What you need from a summariser is some insight. An explanation behind why mistakes were made or what was particularly good about something. I am no tennis player but Jim Courier is one of the best summarisers out there. During the Australian Open last year he spoke about a player's body and feet po...
The same chap who took a look at both Reading & Crystal Palace and claimed to have approached several others. One of the reasons why it does not pay to accept bids as quickly as some fans wish. After two days of talks and this happens :shock: http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-...
Is Lallana a little over8d? Can't make my mind up about him. He's done alright at a mid-table team but that's hardly enough to win the world cup Yep. Future England squads should only be selected from clubs finishing in the Top 4 of the previous season's PL. And how many English players would that ...
