reference to Guiness? You know how easy it is for people to be "racially offended" these days and the Labour Govt have made it really easy to get into the Courts.

Up to you. Its not my ass on the line.

Does Kitsons Loan allow him to play in the play offs???

I would prefer Coppell to Stay. He has all the right qualities for us for the long term and if he goes, I am sure it will be his choice, not the club sacking him. I said a few weeks back we should go for Keane but too late now so good luck to the Tractor Boys 1st choice should be Curbishly now. Resp...

If Coppell goes - and I am a big fan and hope he doesn't, we'll need the following attributes in our new manager if we're to get back in the Prem: 1. Proven Track record of getting promoted 2. Commands players respect 3. Good contacts for new players at top clubs (eg Man U) 4. Not currently in a job...

Not unless we are promoted because: 1. Brum also want him and are more likely to be promoted than us 2. Reading won't pay the 2-3M Stoke will want for him If we are still Championship 3. If Coppell leaves (and most think he will) then all will depend on who the new manager is but 1 and 2 above will ...

AF1

No Harry, its "Wingardium Leviosaa"

Nobody gone in the window , he just quietly gets on with things and is without doubt the best . We now have the squad , we have the players , let's now kick on and get the job done . "He's not a God..... .....He's a very naughty boy" With apologies to Monty Python for the blatant plaguris...

I actually know this as I overheard him talking to someone else after the Wolves match. Not doubting that you heard him say it, but the player who is telling the press that the club are not keeping him informed of any offers, has enough knowledge about an offer to say that? Forgive my cynicism but ...

I actually know this as I overheard him talking to someone else after the Wolves match.

Reading have snubbed Wigan's £5m offer for Stephen Hunt which could let in Spurs, but Harry Redknapp could also be alerted by Marseilles left-back Taye Taiwo who is keen on a move to White Hart Lane. (Sun) There is a problem with this though HOW CAN WE SNUB £5M ? he has a release clause so we would...

I know someone who knows his agent.

no proof so its a rumour

On the day when it has been reported S Hunt has been sold for £5m, Jimmy Bullard has gone from Fulham to Hull for the same sum so I wondered who would you rather have in your lower Premier League side? I am genuinely undecided on this because I thought Bullard bossed the last Fulham game at the Mad ...

I have already suggested this as a solution if S Hunt leaves as is being heavily touted in the press.

Move Kebe to the left which is supposed to be his natural side and get Blakey back on the right.

Who - realistically - could we buy to replace S Hunt immediately (much like Armstrong with Shorey)? If Hunty goes to Middlesborough (not likely IMHO because Boro have said they are not selling) I would like to see Kebe switch to the left because apparently thats where he usually played before joini...

I am sure you are right but its more a comment on West Hams lack of Morals than on Coppells. I also think that he would see out his contract and do the right thing unless, it was Man Utd in which case I do think he would ask to go. Anyway this thread will be locked in a minute as it should be in gen...

Alan Curbishley has quit at West Ham today so presumably the (Dis) Honourable Sir Trevor Brooking will suggest they can easily nick Readings manager.

Why not, it was piss easy last time!

I would like to put my two penneth worth> I read a letter in Piers Morgans column and broadly (and briefly) it went something like: "I am fed up with these footballers feeling they have a right to break their freely entered into contracts. How do you think it would go if it went to Vodafone and...

Having read through the comments, I have to come down on the side of the pragmatists. 1. How many similar posts were posted after the 2-1 defeat to Plymouth in the 2006 season? 2. Todays result was not any one players fault. I agree Doyle is out of sorts and needs his confidence rebuilt but how else...
