Re: Coppell's latest backtrack

Absolutely incredible but at the same time sadly no real surprise from RFC. And please guys, stop saying they tried their best and failed. Even if that is true then their best clearly isn't good enough for this league. This is one almighty gamble they are taking and they had better damn well get it ...

Re: Attendance v Man U

Interesting to note that the PA team did not announce it as a new attendance record in-front of the ManU fans! :lol: It doubt there was any thought put into it. They don't usually have any problem when it comes to making a laughing stock of us. Now if only we still had the great JR (he of FSB fame)...

Re: How we stack up against the opposition in terms of signings

24th January and still nothing has been done about the right wing problem TICK TOCK I really hope we're not going to see a repeat of the ridiculous transfer antics that we saw just before the closure of the last window. We need a top class specialist right winger now - whatever that takes to achiev...

Re: How we stack up against the opposition in terms of signings

I suspect you are spot on! Isn't it amazing how easy it is to protect your longer term interests, and avoid the nightmare scenario, if you negotiate and draw up the contracts carefully! And of course it might just be that very clause and King's refusal to sign it that is holding up the deal - as it...

Re: How we stack up against the opposition in terms of signings

Fulham are really going for it again - how will they cope if they do get relegated? They'll end up with a massive wage bill won't they and lots of players they don't need ... ? I doubt that the players they're bringing in are on massive wages. Watford seem to have survived paying Marlon King up til...

Re: Glen Little back running

I don't think we're equipped as a club for additional hotel rooms. You surely missed a wink off that! We've got loadsamoney and can't find a way to spend it! Even if we were short, what value improved team spirit and an away point or two? (awaiting someone to tell me that you can only get one point...

Re: Anybody else preparing to opt out next season?

It is threads like this which really start to annoy me as a reading fan. However to say that you are going to stop coming altogether and start watching local football, which consists of 22 men kicking lumps out of each other not actual football, is ridiculous. And that is a ridiculous and/or ignora...

Re: "A Team so Starstruck............."

Re: How we stack up against the opposition in terms of signings

With Little potentially back in March and Doyle/Hunt doing an effective if not brilliant job out on the right wing, then I'd say our first priority is a defensive midfielder. . We will be raving bonkers if we gamble anything whatsoever on Little returning to first team action in March (much as I'd ...

Re: How we stack up against the opposition in terms of signings

brendywendy i thought the thing about matajovsky was the skill on the ball and the three defence splitting passes he made that oozed class that impressed rather than his ability to run about
think he gave the ball away for their 1st, :


Did he hand it back to them from the bench then?! :wink:

Re: Cisse = God (For The Day!)

Re: MOTM....Man United (H)

I think the home support (aka #13) deserve a mention for their performance too. The strong vocal support was picked out for a mention as the Sky cameras panned around the stadium during Match Choice. Despite remaining seated whilst ManU fans were allowed to stand throughout (yes, once again Mr Safet...
