Nice to know Murts scores at least once a season

SC stated today that Convey will be back from the States the end of next week, so that rules him out of the Charlton game as well at least.

Couldn't understand why Stack has been loaned out. Maybe Coppell does have plans to get another keeper in January?

I like Marcus, and I agree he hasn't been given a great deal of protection recently, but there's this nagging suspicion he's not quite up to prem level.

Murty's got my vote.

I love the comment that Chelsea should sell one of their reserve players and buy a mobile hospital unit to follow them around. Excellent idea. Might I suggust a thorough ENT check up for starters, as half the squad appear to be suffering from a mystery inner ear infection that affects their balance...

From Mirror message board, well done Steve, whoever you are! Message to Oliver Holt. I have just read your piece on Stephen Hunt. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you were closer than the 30 yards I was from where the incident took place, then I respect the fact that you may have seen something...

That Friday Feeling

Huntley & Palmer I hope they get the hair right

Chelsea - 'cheap' as chips!

...that Reading get drawn against Chelsea in the FA Cup 3rd round....

...at home

See here for a less than balanced viewpoint from the official Chelsea website...

If he thinks he's in with a chance of going back to Arsenal then expect a class performance next week

Reading's game plan was to be physical yesterday and stop Chelsea from playing - now you're all moaning Mike Riley gave us lots of free kicks and most of them rightly so. Yeah right! You're right, and all the pundits, newpapers, etc. are wrong. Reading physical - do me a favour! I think we missed C...

I was in Y20 and everybody was doing it - can't believe you couldn't hear it in Y26, thought the whole ground was at it.

Respect to the boys with the score cards too

Reading 2 Chelsea 0

Lita double wins it over jaded-looking international jet-set playboys.

What we are seeing this season is a defence under a hell of a lot more pressure than we've been used to - no surprise there then! Suddenly Inge is too small, Sonko makes mistakes, and Marcus is overrated!!! The fact is we've got a positive goal difference, we're not exactly conceeding many goals are...

higher 100/1 FA cup.

If I thought Coppell would be putting out a full strength side I'd go for that.

Quite fancy another trip down to the Millennium Stadium

Errr, you scored in the last 20 minutes. Isn't that creating anything?

imo you looked a much more dangerous team once Saha came on. I reckon if you'd played with two up front all game you probably would have won.

Maybe Fergie paid us too much respect by playing a defensive formation

LOL @ formations not meaning anything at this level.

Manure's formation was the reason they had all the possession.

It was also the reason they couldn't do anything with it.

End of.

I can't believe this thread. I was reading earlier about the woman being attacked by united fans, and everybody being up in arms about it, and rightly so! But if it's a single utd fan (who probably has never been to a football match in his life before, otherwise he wouldn't be so stupid), then a num...
