I would imagine an analysis of similar sized clubs over the same period would show a similar trend in transfer spending. I was arguing all summer that £7m for Aluko was a mad but it's how the market's going. I think you are reading a lot into the figures to suit your agenda. Stam has denied Aluko w...

You're right, much as I hate West Ham and their "We won the World Cup, Academy of Football, Saint Trev, Gor Blimey Cockney Sparrah" schtick, not many clubs would turn down the offer that was presented to them and I don't take delight in it specifically being West Ham, It's just symbolic of...
What pisses me off is the original plan for the Olympic stadium was that it was built to be easily reduced to capacity of 20,000 and maintained as a public asset to benefit the community, all as part of our Great Olympic LOLegacy, But no, it gets given to those claret & blue tossers and converte...
I'm not sure what he offers that Novakovich couldn't? I hadn't realised (but am not that surprised) quite how much of a stormer Novakovich is having at Telstar... Little bit of Telstar trivia; I know Jacob Walcott went on loan there about 6 years ago but the Reading link goes back to the early 1960...
A victim of bad timing throughout his Reading career. 2006-08 was a bad time for an academy player to be trying to break into the first team and 2014 was just a bad time full stop to be a Reading player.
To be fair, it's only a couple of posters playing tinpot bingo.
There was little love lost in the Warnock era but generally, they come across as a decent bunch and Bramhall Lane is the one away ground that has a consistently decent atmosphere.
I like Manchester as a place go out in but having lived there, it's not the safest place. On the local news, there's a report of a knifing in Manchester just about every day. Mancs are quite charismatic but incredibly arrogant. Liverpool has it's problems but with it being a major port, most of it r...
I think the people are the product of their environment. With Yorkshire, most of the large towns and cities are industrial and situated in valleys so they have a hemmed in and claustrophobic feel to them. I compare it to Liverpool which is flat and coastal and it just has a much greater feeling of o...
Not all Northerners are unfriendly. I've found Scousers to be open, warm, friendly and very community spirited, completely at odds with the stereotypical image of them being a bunch of workshy, aggressive petty criminals, and the polar opposite of the insular, surly oafs found further east along the...
Is that a couple of Sheffield Wednesday players in there? I know they're thick in Leeds but I never thought they'd be that thick as to mixed the two clubs up just because we both play in blue and white.

Anyone hear Christiansen's bizarre post match comments about not criticising refs because that's how foreign managers lose their job? Not withstanding that Arsene Wenger is the longest serving manager in England and has made a career out of criticising officials, that's sounds like a manager strugg...
