Take note, negative posters (i.e. West Stand Tosser, SDR, Bracknell RFC etc etc) Real supporters have their say but they still support the team. That's what being a proper fan is all about. People are entirely justified to be as critical as they like about the team and the club in general - so long...

Was I dreaming or did Exeter actually beat Fulham 1-0 in a preseason friendly? Yes they did. And it means absolutely bugger all. We lost to Dorchester last year IIRC. Doesn't that depend on the teams fielded? Did we field a reserve team against Dorchester? :? Apparently Jimmy Bullard came on for Fu...

mattyougg The back is good; but i'm not too sure about the collar, and the vertical striped sholders.

The kit needs to isnpire the players - last season we had a supreme kit, look what happened to us then!

I thought last years kit was awful. This is definitely an improvement IMHO.

Didn't like the first photo I saw but having looked at the enhanced picture special. I actually like it.

The haphazard look is actually pretty cool.

cmonurz It shows the enormity of our task that if we win all of our games against those opposition (which we won't) we will have only 48 points. Going to need some shock results somewhere.

48pts will be more than enough to stay up. The most any team has gone down with is 42.

Gordons Cumming Does anyone know what purchases Sunderland made when entering the Premiership in their record breaking season?

They did well in the first season up I believe, and second, I think.........

Here you go:

It's good to see HNA? supporting a literacy drive. Well done all.

Reading v Tottenham 1988 - Gazza's debut for Spurs after signing from Newcastle - Luther Blissett guested for us and scored one of the greatest goals ever seen at EP...finished 2-1 to us, I think...? Wasn't that also Martin Hicks' testimonial? Pretty sure we won 2-1 and Gazza also scored for Spurs....

Don't see the problem. They've allocated tickets based on the smallest allocation that they know they will get.

As has been said, if we get drawn away to a club with a smaller away end then they'll bring in an additional level of allocation like royalty points.

I am surprised by the negativitiy on this topic. Most people are either happy for us to finish 17th or beat one of the big boys at home. I think you are overestimating the Premiership. While the top 4 teams are head and shoulders above the rest, the majority of the other teams are filled with secon...

17th or better.

I predict that I couldn't care less.

Isn't the buyback scheme something that the club have to offer as part of the Premier League charter? As a result, their hands are tied a bit as to what they can and can't do.

I'm sure I heard him mention West Ham in that interview, and possibly Charlton .. anyone else hear that? I'm imagining he was either saying "I would have preferred to join West Ham/ Charlton, but had to make do with Reading" or, on a more positive note, "I think Reading can emulate West Ham next se...

Never heard of him. Presumably he's rubbish as he's a League 1 player, not the sort of player we should be targetting. A waste of money. Still 7 new signings required. Of course he is because all players at the level are rubbish, I mean they must be. And 7 players :shock: Christ are you in for a di...

Farnborough Royal Do Chelsea still play at Aldershot?

Yes.

Always thought this was a great innitiative as any child's allegiences are usually formed by the age of 8, and what better way than to have them walking around in an RFC shirt. Well that's what I thought. My little one now qualifies, so I've down loaded the form only to find its not the hoops they ...

For the Sodje story.

Seol is apparently having Squad Number 19, have the other squad numbers been released and is Doyle having number 9? I hope so

Yes mate. Doyle is No.9.

Just watched his goals from the Brentford World site and, although he isn't the biggest, he looks pretty good in the air (obviously these are headers he's won so it's a bit of biased view). There was one where he'd obviously brought the ball out from the back and played a one two before winning a f...
