Re: Best/Worst Pundit

Souness is almost passable but it's all utter ******* cr@p as usual. Just have to go get the beers in at HT and not bother tuning in until actual kick off. What tends to be worse though is some of the idiots employed as co-commentators especially if the commentator is ****** awful anyway. Radio 5 wa...

Re: England - the future....

Post up your first elevens! There's a worry of shoehorning attackers in rather than having a balanced team (the old Lampard/Gerrard shizzle) It is very difficult to pick an eleven when there is only one left-back in the squad who, even by Southgate's admission in interview, comes with major fitness...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I’m comfortable that we have the core of a good squad, but I’m also aware it would only take injuries to two or three key players (Wing, Smith, Knibbs) to leave us struggling. Given the business we did last season, despite the turmoil, hopefully we can pick up a handful of players that could streng...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Looking increasingly likely that Kieron McKenna will jump ship from Ipswich having got them to the PL - Brighton seemingly the most likely destination. Would make absolute sense for his career but would make Ipswich's task in staying up much much harder. Ipswich are rumoured to be going in for Rob ...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

RG30 Tony Mowbray resigns as Birmingham manager which is no major surprise.


Presume Rowett will step in seeing as he was managing in the last few games. Unless Zola is available :?

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

On what basis do you make the jump that an announcement is 2 months away ? Takeovers generally take a long time. I can see Dai hindering the process. All matters Reading rarely go smoothly. Our takeover has been ongoing since about September. Negotiations with Chiron since about February. It's almo...

Re: Rival Watch

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Manchester City get relegated down to L1 or even L2, and have all of their trophies stripped of them as part of the punishment when the Premier League FINALLY get around to having a look at those 115 charges........... It would greatly surprise me if there is...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

JedMaxwell City might get found guilty on one of their charges, then fined about £50 and that'll be the end of it as far as the authorities are concerned.


Surely not :?
