Indeed. There isn’t much to report. The journos are not trying to make things up for click bait. If there is something they will report it. There’s no coverage though, that’s my issue. Jlo reposted the rumour about Carroll at 9am this morning. Then nothing till one tweet at 7:30 this evening. He ge...
Couldn’t agree more A goal hanging, barely mobile Carroll will score more than Puscus on his own up front. That the Carroll with 5 goals in 71 appearances over the last 4 years? Woop woop. Who were you hoping we'd sign for what we can afford? Genuine question. I can’t be alone in finding the verbal...
A goal hanging, barely mobile Carroll will score more than Puscus on his own up front. Not with the service we currently provide he wont. Not many strikers score from 60 yards with their back to the goal. With the right service, Carroll will score. Like most strikers he comes alive near the 18 yard...
There’s a lot of hostility on Twitter about our new signings. I understand that they’re aren’t everyone’s first choice but given our current predicament I am not sure what people are expecting tbh. Because they live in Cloud Cuckoo Land without fully understanding our predicament and it’s implicati...
For those expressing shock and despair I would like to know what you were hoping for? We are limited in what we can pay and there are only so many available strikers out there. You can't all beg for signings and then turn your nose up at a proven goalscorer like Andy Carroll. Yes he is injury prone...
My LAFC supporting mate says he's shit. Only in the team because he's Giuseppe Rossi's son. I heard the same tbf. And a lot of people heard that Veljko Paunovic was shit too! Absolutely We could fill the Mad Stad with Reading fans past and present who have slagged off managers and players they’ve n...
Semedo on the wing? Remind me, have we seen that yet? Not sure. But still prefer the idea to Aluko. Or Swift going wide. Would kind of agree to that. Probably more chance of Semedo being here next season than Aluko, given if we do go up we are obliged to buy him. Firmly in this camp, too. Samedo is...
Millsy To have a left back who actually blocks crosses, nullifies opposition right wingers and secures that side of the pitch would be a dream, I've almost forgotten what it feels like.
At least we’ve had it on the right since Gunter’s been out of the picture.
Money and fame and big teams talk. But not now and for as long as we remain in contention for promotion with the prospect of him starting next season as an establish member of a top flight team rather than sat on Dortmund’s bench. But that was what happened with Sidders. I always fear that happenin...
I highly doubt it. Crazy as it may sound but he would be a great fit for somebody like dortmund Oyeh because Dai has a record of letting our most promising players go. Plus would be fairly stupid from Olise to leave at this stage when next year he could well be playing guaranteed Prem football as i...
Ok, so WTF is going on. Serious WTAF is going on? Screw Stam's shit play chancing it to Wembley. Not fussed about McDermott's team who long balled it up to the PL and came crashing back down. I'd even say I don't remember Team 106 exciting me as much as this team. FSB's team same. These guys are ju...
Seen Joao's goal - absolute class. First touch, turn and strength = world class, defenders did nothing wrong. Goal of the Season contender... anyone can smack a ball in front 30 yards, few can do that Couldn't agree more. In my view, the biggest difference between the 1st and 2nd tiers is the quali...
Players just look a lot more confident this year. Could be Pauno could be Bowen going - or just a bit of momentum For my money you could put it down to one or more of four factors. Joao being fit Laurent giving the midfield balance and steel Olise adding end product to his game Paunovic being an im...
A few observations. The first XI is top 6 quality. We've been performing as less than the sum of the parts for a long time. Joao is the single most pivotal player we've had in recent memory. Not since before the glory days have we been so reliant on one player to get our game to work. Worth every p...
For those struggling to get in... I did last year going "to iFollow" Now I just go to Live Match Centre and click on watch live. Has worked first time every time and picture VERY sharp Can't remember accessing any other way and although sometimes slow entering no issues once in picture at...
In what way is the “structure” not built around football where is it’s non footballing element? Bowen was offered a position that would only have strengthened that structure but he declined.
I understand why some fans will not like it but Hobnob is like an echo chamber with a short circuit.
I wouldn't have sacked Bowen but his appointment has now been placed in it's true perspective and, whether or not you agree with the decision, I wouldn't call it shambolic, more an owner committed to taking the club where he wants it to be, having never shown the slightest sign of being unwilling to...
Couldn’t be more delighted that Ovi is finally ours! He’s not over rated he’s a special talent who needs to be played between the lines behind the striker where he’ll do the most damage. I still believe Swift will be snapped up once others accept we won’t be giving him away and that will help balanc...
He'll get a few games in a league one club, who else will sign him? He's taken a huge risk in the current climate and is being poorly advised, probably got the same agent as Loader While I find it very disappointing we let his contract run down, I agree. With no gate money since March and even less...
