Indeed, I'm just glad there is someone of a certain age who does appreciate it. I'm wasted on here. Don't say that Norfolk, you are a boon to the site. Incidentally, while you are on, do you happen to know why The Duke of Norfolk's main residence is in Sussex and not Norfolk? Why is Leeds Castle in...

Sutekh Let's hope it's not a case of three up two down on his debut.

Lysette Anthony
Was she up or down?!

double d Donald Trump wouldn't be.

Why not?
Is he doing anything else?

Anybody would be an improvement

Why? Stams incompetence mainly, for his tactics and selections. He has insisted on playing these guys - Joey is a liability.ponderous and clumsy, a yellow card waiting to happen Beerens has done nothing to deserve a place. Not good enough for Championship statndard McCleary is injured/unfit/lost int...

Burton 0-0 Readingp HT
Burton 1-1 Reading FT

Bod

I understand that decent strikers are in high demand. That they're expensive and difficult to sign. Few and far between. I can accept we blew our wedge (foolishly) on Aluko. But why, oh why, have we not signed any fullback? We have Gunter and Richards. Bacuna, who is desperately needed in midfield,...

Why not Alan Devonshire?

Why not anyone?

Brackley 2 Salford 1 I could get to like this non-league stuff Brackley play some attractive passing football and got two goals up early both from headers There are three players who stood out for me and wouldn't mind seeing them at Reading. Obviously you can only play as well as the opposition let ...

double d I PLUCKED THE FIGURE OUT OF THIN AIR! WHY IS EVERYBODY ON HERE SO SLOW TO UNDERSTAND BASIC THINGS. GAAAHHHH MY BRAIN!!!!!!!!

You've pretty much answered your own question
You picked a figure at random and didn't explain it, till now
Confusion followed

Seems John S has his own definition of a relegation fight

But more to the point where's the prediction thread for this game?!

I have no idea, where's the 13 points figure come from? We are by no means in a relegation fight. This game is a nice addition that we can go out and play as the away side without pressure. Should be good - hopefully we can get through on the night. Disagreed, 4 points off 22nd in January would say...

Only just seen this
It's amazing.
What a dreadful idea and even worse in practice

Thanks Sutekh as ever. You know what really gets to me? It's that feeling of hope before every game. At the end of every defeat I am incandescent with rage with the gutless non-football displays, (as some may tell from my inane, drunken, often offensive :oops: ramblings), but as the next game comes...

Can't we just ask Regular John for his predictions?

No, you're wrong. We aren't yet in a relegation fight. We clearly are We aren't. There's 18 games left and we are well clear of the drop zone. We are a lower - mid table team. OK I'll bite We are only 4 points above the relegation places We have the worst form (over last six games) of any club in t...

OMA - I had no idea either. This explains it What is the UEFA Nations League? The UEFA Nations League is a new international tournament. England will go up against other European nations in a league format for the chance to compete in the Final Four summer showpiece in 2019, where the winner will be...

My hairy backside could replace Stam and we will do better. Players have lost confidence in him and in themselves because of him. Pretty much anyone will do. I genuinely believe this to be true Perhaps the thread should be who definitely couldn't do it?! No, you're wrong. We aren't yet in a relegat...

2 world wars, 1 world cup My hairy backside could replace Stam and we will do better.

Players have lost confidence in him and in themselves because of him.

Pretty much anyone will do.

I genuinely believe this to be true

Perhaps the thread should be who definitely couldn't do it?!

What I understand (!) is that when you come across a combination of players and tactics that work you stick to it You don't change personnel every week as we did for most of the season. The difference between that Derby performance and everything else I have seen this year is vast. Why wouldn't you ...
