I know he's one of the greatest players ever but watching Ronaldo do his sulky cry baby face never gets old.

Jamie Redknapp deserves a special mention after last night. I'm assuming he accidently packed the wrong jacket but going ahead with wearing it was a bit foolish. Navy blue trousers and waistcoat with a grey jacket made him look like he was wearing some bizarre navy blue formal dungarees. Plus his pu...

Can you take a manager on loan?

Boro supporting colleague booked Tues 26th May as holiday yesterday so I'm hoping Brentford beat them.

Deserved the league this year, excellent start and a shame their form dipped post xmas otherwise nobody would be picking fault.

Do Chelsea think that many of those 4 youth cup players will end up in the first team Kes?

I never understand the "encroaching" rule.....surely if you're scored the penalty then why should it mater if a player has stepped into the box before its kicked? Yeah if its saved and rebounded out but not this..... In this instance its because it was an English player who encroached and...

No Fixed Abode Gerrard, 3 game ban for a stamp.
Skrtel will get a 3 game ban for a stamp.

Both richly deserved.
Not sure how Costa being snidey and trying to pretend he didn't mean to do it twice makes it better though?

TBM You say that but it always seems to be after Xmas that English teams struggle

No co-incidence that after xmas is when the rubbish teams are out?

Handsome Man Look at the squads still in the World Cup once we had gone out, and there weren't many that could match our strength.

Sadly they were all better at stuff like passing, shooting, control, tackling etc etc

Nice to see RL getting a mention.

Quality goals in the Porto v Basel match although I'm not convinced the keeper was making the greatest effort to save them.

Anyone know if we'll have to sit in our allocated seat or is it a free for all?

IN! for some epic glory hunting. Not been for a while, which player am I supposed to boo louder than I'm booing the others?

Ta, stopped being lazy and looked at Google Maps to get my bearings. They reckon a 15min walk but it doesn't look that far. Can you get out the back of the station rather than going through the retail park?

Despairers seems your the local expert how long does it take to walk from Forster Sq station to the ground? Only ever driven to Valley Parade but don't fancy trying to park on Saturday.

Nice* to see them keeping up the tradition of having banned players in full kit for the trophy presentation.

But it wasn't like that was it, Barnes wasn't diving in. Would be interested* to know how many 'leg breaking/career ending' fouls actually end up breaking a leg or ending a career. The point is, if you go in for a challenge as Barnes did, it's the luck of the draw if you break someone's leg. But as...

Does it matter if you dive in or not? - its the angle and position that you catch the leg that can break it.... [/img] Yes the angle/position is the most important but so will be the speed/force at which it happens. If you've launched yourself the impact will be much greater than Barnes's was at th...

KesModeON:
Don't think they can play all of the games at the Madejski.
