Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Lee Clark sacked by Bury.

Lee Clark's one of those managers who always seems to piggy back someone else's good work and then fcuk it up.

Amazed he keeps getting jobs.

Re: whats your favourite save of all time

That save by the Brazilian reminds me of Dudek's save from Shevchenko in the Champions League final. It really is a case if get something in the way and hope it sticks. Not as good as say, Seaman or Banks who make a clear play for a ball that is seemingly beyond reach. Shilton in his prime would mak...

Re: Board of Directors - Look away now ...

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...

Re: Balls

There's an old German saying, "The ball is round". In other words, the game is unpredictable. Get over it, Pep.

I though so too but he started boasting about his £120,000 house, which in Leeds buys you a 3 bed semi in a shit part of the city.

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...

Re: West Haha Ham

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...

Re: James Wilson

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...

Re: Simon Cox interview on his favourite goals

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.

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

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.

Re: Thames Valley Whites (Leeds United Supporters Club)

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...

Re: Thames Valley Whites (Leeds United Supporters Club)

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...
