I wouldnt say I care much about any other team, but there are other teams I follow either because theyre local or because friends support them.

Real shame about his injury, didnt realise it was quite that serious. I still find it slightly odd he was never given a chance at the end of last season when everything had been wrapped up, can't remember was he on loan somewhere at all?

So thats Lita, Harper, Hunt, Sodje all out or rested. Whats the probable team then, is it going to be a mixture of first team/reserves like the previous matches?

Also, Sidwell is more likely to stay and eventually sign a new deal with the Royals if he is treated with some respect from the fans as opposed to disrespect! Not being funny, but why should I respect him? On that note, why should I expect any of our players? Quite frankly I couldn't give a toss ab...

I couldnt care less about Sidwell and the sooner he leaves the better. That may sound incredibly harsh but he's been wanting to leave for weeks, and his attitude towards the club (who don't forget have given him the chance to be where he is now) smacks of complete disrespect. Unless we break our wa...

I wouldn't be too bothered about whether we sign any more strikers or not. I think the 4 we have is fine, and don't forget that we never saw Lita fully fit. I said this before and I'll say it again he'll be our main striker this season. He could very well explode just like Convey did last season :D ...

I'd rather we get the money for him now while we can, the last thing we want is get nothing for him at all. Agreed, but only if we get a decent replacement first. No point in selling him and then trying to attract someone better. Otherwise the loss of 2 or so million will be well offset by having o...

Hopefully a comfortable win, but not really expecting too much

Smoking Kills Dancing Doe The board are prepared to pay up to 6m for Mensah, the money is there.

Really! I guess I shouldnbt be surprised we did bid 4.5m for Lescott after all. 6m does seem a lot of money tho, I know Mensah is an international but how much top level experience has he got?

As some have already said the chances of us signing millions of pounds on one player just isnt going to happen as we're £10m in debt. But I am expecting us to sign at least 2 players (another defender, maybe one who can play RB and a central midfielder). However I'd like to think Coppell will give t...

The thread about the low points at the Mad Stad a few months ago, reminded me of this match as it came shortly after the Scunthorpe game. I'll never forget a mate at school just cracking up in front of me when he saw it on TTIAO. Even though I already knew that it was going to be on the show, I stil...

Convey's attitude on signing a new contract is the complete oppostie to Sidwell. The fact is that he's happy to sign a contract for significantly less than the 18k a week that Sidwell wanted. I doubt whether clubs being interested in him or not was that important, he wanted to repay our loyalty and ...

I wasnt necessary suggesting that the top teams will give us space, but I saw MOTD most weeks last season and there will be plenty of teams in the bottom half of the table that will let us play. Fulham immediately spring to mind, and I reckon until other teams suss us out theyll be doing the same. I...

I think this is a valid point, there were games last season when even Kits himself admitted he hadnt played well even when he scored. He'll have to play well in the Prem otherwise he will struggle to get goals. I do think a fully fit Lita combined with Doyle will be our first choice strikeforce anyw...
