OK, commas round the 'bizarrely' would have worked, but given the punctuation-blindness of most people on this board I didn't see the need. And to explain the bizarre nature of his affliction. He lives in Lisbon and Boavista play in Porto, a four hour drive away, when Benfica and Sporting are on hi...

Perhaps he did it deliberately to get publicity - as a "say something some people will find controversial and stir people up to get my name bandied about because no publicity is bad publicity" sort of thing... which would make him a bit like a footballing Oliv*r H*lt really. I find it quit...

Re: K(h)alifa - the inside info (sort of)

My brother lives in Portugal and bizarrely supports Boavista . When he found that we had bought him he said: Ah, that’s a shame – I liked him. Central defender, been playing recently as holding midfelder. Some spectacular own goals (…) Bit of a Bikey then (apart from the own goals). ...just o...

Keepers need a bit of fat to cushion the impact from dives. And Kenny makes one hell of an impact so needs more padding than most. :lol: Vicious circle ! Now there's no call for that...

I think OMR was lion about the original reason he asked Kingsley to move back - clearly the mane reason he did it was to try and dent Reading's pride

£11million on wages I think I saw somewhere recently. That would have to be a conservative estimate surely... Can;t be too many players not on 10k / week which is 500k / year so a squad of 22 would cost you 11 million. And we have more than 22 pros (OK the junior players won;t be on 10k week !). T...

It was definitely Thompson and I actually think it's quite funny. Nothing to get wound up over. It is funny, but in another match it could have serious consequences if it actually worked. For example Chelsea v Man Utd. Chelsea are winning 1-0 as the match nears its conclusion. Chelsea need to win t...

Re: Changes to end poor run !

we have had a blip in our results od late admittly against good oppostion but feel it is about time we start to use our large squad. Hunt works but i feel Oster would be a better replacement, Harper is hopeless bring on Bryan! Also i wouldn't mind seeing Halford in there somewhere even if on the be...

This is not a massive game. Lack of ambition. :lol: in all seriousness though it IS a massive game - in the (probably slightly misquoted) words of SSC himself, "every Premiership game is a cup final to us" ...and rightly or wrongly I think MANY people feel there's a lot more riding on the...

Some very significant results throughout the season but Man City away was a very good performance, we rode our luck at times but 2 fanastic passes by Sidwell/Harper and Leroy finished superbly. As bad as Portsmouth hurt, Wigan was worse. We never win at Portsmouth anyway, very difficult place to ge...

Best / Worst result so far this season?

Was just sat here thinking, and ended up wondering what people on HNA? think is our best result so far of our Premiership campaign? Seems like a question that could have an easy answer with our 6-0 defeat of West Ham at home BUT is a thrashing of an out-of-form team in a home match a better result f...

Just thought it might be fun to look at a couple of statistics: Leroy Lita cost £1,000,000 and has scored 7 premiership goals so far in the 06/07 season; which works out at a cost of £142,857.14 per goal (let's say that's about one hundred and forty thousand pounds per goal). Didier Drogba cost £...
