I think we'll do well to keep hold of McCleary in Jan, would be a low risk signing for a bottom half prem or better paying champ side. Would certainly like to keep hold of him. I expect we'll offer Williams a new contract on reduced terms - then up to whether anyone else offers him anything better. ...
I think sometimes footballers just get a bad name due to the actions of a few clowns who get into the press Most of the time, they are just normal young lads who appreciate the career they have got. All have had to work extremely hard to make it. Bumped very randomly into Danny Williams not so long ...
We looked very good on the highlights - the 2 early goals were excellent (and agree g-mac should be playing more centrally and closer to Yann at times), and a perfect penalty That Meite offside must have been close - still was a lovely finish. Unfortunate that. Still hopefully offers a real option u...
Stam has done an outstanding job. I'm sure he like everyone else realises there are still a number of improvements that can be made though. I think we've the makings of a play-off team, especially if we can find another striker/or get Yann or Samuel firing consistently. The likes of Evans and Swift ...
Strange game I thought - looked very comfortable without playing very well at all G-Mac looked great every time he got the ball, but that was about 10 times in the entire match. Beerens utterly anonymous. Something still not right with the system where we can't get our most dangerous players into th...
Tough call - could certainly see it working, and I like Obita & Gunter as wing backs and Yann and Samuel up top. But then I also wouldn't want to drop Beerens and G-Mac.
I'd keep it as a plan b at this stage if we keep struggling to create
agree with that - the 'there for the taking' stuff is not really true. They were at home, have come off the back of 7 successive wins, and have players of the calibre of Oxlade-Chamberlain and Iwobi in the side. 2 others of their side cost 30mill between them, and they were able to bring on France's...
to be fair to the Gunners support last night, I once went to watch them play in the champs league with an Arsenal supporting mate. They were just as clueless and passionless then. A couple of half baked rounds of 'We hate Tottenham' and a lot of munching on their organic chicken nuggets and triple c...
Think the team selection was fine. Pretty much the team I wanted to see with who was available. Stam let his intentions known in advance, and it would not be fair to the likes of Harriott and Kelly to be dropped when they were the ones which got us through to the game in the first place.
I thought we were ok. Nothing more really. Still it was an enjoyable game for me, despite sitting amongst surely the most clueless home support in the country and the train issues While it could be claimed it was 'Arsenal' reserves, you are still talking about England internationals, 17mill strikers...
I don't understand the sniping - a tenner to watch Reading play in one of the best and arguably the easiest grounds to get to in the country. Whats not to like? got 4 tickets in the home end behind the goal. Obviously means I have to deal with sitting next to Hugo and Tarquin and their city boy mate...
would just be me and my young son, so home end wouldn't be so bad.
been to Arsenal before in the home end. They really are the most clueless (but harmless) bunch of supporters I've ever met by a distance. Doubt half of them will have even heard of Reading before.
