Re: Why Can't we Have Coppell Back???

Adkins strikes me as an attempt to go back to a more Coppellesque way of playing . Perhaps less width from the wingers, but pacy attacking football with llenty of ability to pass the ball and retain possession where needed. Fingers crossed that's the case and it works. I absolutely hope that the ty...

Re: Coming soon to a cinema near you - Robin Friday The Movi

This article is on the BBC site today.

Re: Southampton Players

I would definately take Danny Fox at lb and Sharp would be a possible but only if ALF left. I think Davis in midfield would be ok and perhaps Fonte if Gorkks left.

Re: Next Reading Manager

Di Canio would make me cringe it really would - a circus act far worse than Warnock which i would struggle to support. For me- Rosler,Poyet,Di Matteo or Adkins. Oh and please please not Alex Mcleish.

Re: MCDERMOTT SACKED

I hope he comes out and tells us why he didn't spend the money he reckoned he had. I'm very sad - no-one is going to come in now and "do a Harry" - should have waited til beginning of next season, seen how we started and then possibly made that decision. Or done it at Xmas so a new man co...

Re: Jobi reaction to ml sub

Simply do not understand all the Jobi hate at the moment. People just seem unable to see any good things he does. He hasn't had a great season, but was by no means our worst player yesterday. Set up the first goal and the disallowed one. Got his fullback booked and keeps showing for the ball (which...

Re: Where was Guthrie again?!

Guthrie isn't the issue at all when it comes to analysing our central midfield woes. We play a defensive midfield formation,fine - however it doesn't mean that the two central midfield pairings should be stuck to the pitch like treacle when they have the ball.It is essential to have one of you defen...

Re: FAO Brian

Brian had tinkered constantly with his CB pairings up until relatively recently when Pearce and Mariappa have formed a formidable partnership.To start tinkering again is plain daft whatever the reasons behind it - the fact we have not had a settled back 4 speaks absolute volumes to me in terms of th...

Re: Transfer Deadline Day. Real intel only!

Good article on QPR here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/31/qpr-christopher-samba-peter-odemwingie I really hope they go down. Probably why we didnt entertain the though of signing David Bentley, and for good reason if they wanted a fair slice of the 15 million pound transfer fee they ...

Re: SIGNED - Hope Akpan

Also, Brian only said that 2/3 experienced players would be the best scenario. In reality, most 'experienced' players won't want to come here as they won't want the risk of being relegated. I don't like the idea of loan signings as (1) they won't be giving 100% effort and (2) in the likely event we...

Norfolk Royal
CamberleyRoyal Looks like him to me.
They are still sat there now. I would suggest this will be announced shortly as they are all smiles - awaiting paperwork etc.


They could be waiting for the bill.
