Re: Beckham out of World Cup

Could mean an opening in the squad for Adam Johnson perhaps? One of the goals of the season yesterday and looked very impressive when he came on Depends really on if Capello thinks Johnson's a better option than he already has. The reason Capello liked Beckham was because he offered something diffe...

Re: So long Brian,.....

Don't want to be a know all because I didn't expect him to do quite this well but I had faith that he could do the job. He was an important part of the set up and has learned a lot from the managers he has worked under and used that education to full effect. I saw him deliver a scouting report to th...

Re: Champions League 2009/2010

If they can get rid of the deadwood, (Guti and the increasingly ineffective Raul) and bolster the squad below the first team then there could still be something in this season and beyond for Real Madrid. How are they going to do that with the transfer window closed for this season? The clue is in t...

Re: Champions League 2009/2010

Only Real Madrid could spend £200 Million and get worse. Though I fully expect Man City will try to emulate that over the coming years. They're not getting worse though. Going out of the Champions League this early for a club of that size is poor and unacceptable. However, they've gone out at this ...

Re: Siggy

I don't think Sigurdsson's skills would be put to the best use under Fat Sam. And if he does want him he should be talking to Reading not to Sig's agent.

Re: 2-0 and we fecked it up

I've said on numerous occasions that I don't care what opposition fans think about us. They can sing it all they want. I'm just saying to those who do care that they will be hearing it.

Re: 2-0 and we fecked it up

I would think it's pretty obvious that when you lose from a winning position on national tv that opposition fans won't let you forget it in a hurry.

Surely the best way to get at Heskey is by singing "Crouchy for England".

Re: Sidwell on at the end

The next level down is an average Premier League side, which could have been us, had he stayed. You're claiming if Sidwell had stayed, Reading would still be an average Premiership club? One player can make a difference in a football match, but not in a league status. I think that's a massive state...

Re: Team for Villa

Federici Griffin Mills Ingimarsson Berty Kebe Gunnarsson Tabb Howard Sigurdsson Church HRK and Henry aren't even championship quality (yet) so I doubt either will start against one of the best teams in the country. Although if one of them did play I'd be inclined to go for Henry because, unlike Kan...

Not blinkered at all, he's got a poor goalscoring record as a striker. I would rather he scored tap ins and one on one's than thirty yarders as it shows he can finish team moves and score the chances strikers should score. Who was it who missed the sitter from the gylfi cut back for our second? was...

Re: Back From The Game - Sheff Wed (H)

Just like the old days. A strong attacking display, never giving the opposition any peace, great wing play and goals galore. Fed - Good distribution. 6.5 Griffin - Was able to show his attacking side a bit more and supported Kebe well. 7 Bertrand - Same as Griffin. 7 Gary - Solid against Wednesday's...
