Why not?

The whole thing is unscientific rubbish. According to them, if Man. U. had fielded a team of 'average' players, instead of the quite good ones they actually have, they would have ended up with 91 points less than they got. Since they ended up with 89 points, the 'average' team would have ended up wi...

Ian Royal

He's not known as "Fatty" Kenny for no reason.

but he does seem to be a decent guy.


I reckon he's a pretty good keeper too.

Re: European Bonuses

Several players have contract clauses that if we had made the UEFA cup would have meant big payouts in bonuses. thats the real reason why the club weren't keen on europe this season. Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere. Ken Dodds dads dog will be turning in his grave if it has. :lol: So l...

Berthwaite If SSC had not wanted to include him in his last ever home game for Reading, he would not have included Sidwell.


May also be close to the mark.


Now, I don't mind you making your point, but you should not twist what I said to make it.

Such distortion of my post is not worthy of a moderator.

If SSC had not wanted the team to win against Watford, he would not have included Sidwell. Sidwell, as we all know, is leaving in the summer and so would be sure to play his very best to ensure that everyone watching from other Premiership teams saw him in the best possible light. The better he play...

M4 Junction 11 If he gets an official warning from the FA then will there be a hearing? If so I wonder if Andrew will go as himself or be allowed to attend FA HQ dressed as Kingsley.


For full comedy effect he should go as Kingsley, and make sure there's a few press photographers there as well.

Are we permitted to make an emergency loan signing for the specialist mascot position? I understand the Evening Post may be prepared to send Leroy the Lion out on loan until the end of the season to gain experience. I don't think an emergency signing is allowed, so you'll just have to step into the...
