Re: As The Dust Settles - The Sombre Thread

Veteran of several relegations back to 1971 when we dropped into the 4th division, this one maybe feels a bit worse than some as its a long time since we've been third tier. But in a way the last few seasons have been draining, Saturdays have stopped becoming enjoyable and I won't miss dull games a...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

So I might have a controversial opinion but...I don't think Dai is that bad, he clearly is willing to invest in the club, we have seen the good of that with the training ground and the bad with the ill advised spending spree that led us to this mess. He has taken advice from the wrong people consis...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wigan Athletic (h)

21,000 tickets sold, confirmed by the club this morning. Actual WTF. Gonna be a day of proper drama. Wigan have sold just under 1,000 so if you exclude the other 1,200 empty seats in the away end there is not a left in the home ends… Quite a number given away to local junior football clubs I believ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Luton Town (h)

Think that is a good point in the circumstances. Andy Carroll is a silly boy but if the assistant referee doesn't see it and the goal counts we call him a genius. Yes it could have easily cost us but let's not forget he scored a goal tonight that takes us a step closer to survival. Exactly, was Car...

Re: Car Park Options

Another option, slightly closer is the SARA charity shop at the stadium end of Bennet Road. You can be back to the car and away before the buses have left the stadium. Costs a tenner but does get full quite early. Probably need to get there at least 30 mins before KO.

Re: BFTG Burnley

What a relief. I had a real concern that yesterday was going to be the first of the actual final steps into relegation and the end of the Madejski era, in that the 106 record would go. In particular it would also vindicate Warnock's view of Burnley being the best team he'd ever seen at this level, ...

Re: International fan base

I remember we went on a pre-season tour to South Korea to increase our fan base there. We did have Son playing for us at the time which helped. You mean Seol presumably That's a real shame, a 14 year old HMS would have been brilliant - and we'd have been able to gain a few quid from selling him SKH...

He's already had a yellow card - are you suggesting more ? Yes needs to be retrospective action for Robertson. Mitrovic shoved a ref, Robertson was going to grab the lino and indeed did start to grab his arm. Needs to be looked at and a ban issued. The PL have got a great chance here to stamping th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (h)

Anyone know what that fan said to Carroll afterwards to rile him up? It was really difficult to know how to respond to that. It wasn’t worthy of booing, as the performance was ok. But the 2nd half performance was not good enough, partly due to the players being knackered. So I didn’t think it was w...

But both of them are Phoenix clubs after the old entity went bust. So they're effectively new clubs on the way up rather than old clubs on the way down. This prompted me to look up Scarborough (Mrs is from there and we may retire to that part of the world in the next year or so). Can't believe it w...

With their run in I believe Viera would have done the same. They play all the teams in and around them plus Spurs of the "top" teams.

(Bad) memories of that game in 1995

Whilst out and about yesterday I caught a bit of the Adrian Chiles radio show on 5 Live. He was doing a piece on games you have never watched again and there was a call from a Reading fan (maybe a ‘nobber?) regarding the 95 PO final immediately followed by a Bolton fan. If you can bear to dredge up ...

Commentator on MOTD tonight for the Fulham Forest game pre match.

Fulham have been struggling in front of goal lately, no goals in the past 3 games and no wins during this run. Really!

First game 1969 but did not bother with ST in the Elm Park Days, played local park football so only went early/late season and midweek games. Used to blag my way in for the odd half game if we had a 2pm ko at Prossie Park. Got my first season ticket "off plan" from the protakabin on the bu...
