ManchesterRoyals To slow

'To slow' what?

Watch last season and your know what I mean

They used to speak English in Manchester, something seems to have gone horribly wrong - I blame the BBC .

No Fixed Abode The signing of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake

Wasn't that an album by that rapper turned rubbish soul singer ?

Having thought about it I'm pretty sure it was a pointless idea in the first place, your subsequent ramblings haven't added anything and we've both wasted several seconds of our life on a complete dead end

Green Probably couldn't spell it anyway

fair point !
Although if I could remember what is was I'd have a chance of knowing if I can spell it !

I thought this was going to be origami related - how to turn the Pog into a praying mantis, Nick Hammond to a swan in 17 moves...

WBA have Vydra, Long, Anichebe, Anelka and Sessegnon (plus youth). According to reports it was Hull that moved the goal posts, hence the transfer fell through. Now, as Premier League clubs cant sign on loan outside the window, he only has 3 options: Stay and fight for his place, move on loan to a l...

So when you said... "I'd pay more to watch us draw 3-3 with Watford than to watch the Yeovil game every week" You didn't mean every week? Because in your last post you're talking about "one offs" which isn't every week, is it? If you meant "I would pay more to watch us play...

I don't think you've got your logic sorted Mr Whale ! No one would want to get relegated after 46 exciting draws but then that wouldn't happen. I was pointing out that your suggestion that we should pay more for wins than draws was daft because there is more to the game than that. If you think it is...

There is only one position on the pitch where pace is less important than centre back.

And I can't see Leighterwood going in goal....

Indeed they did, by fooling fans into thinking we were going to match their ambitions on the pitch. Do you expect that record breaking 14000 season ticket holders (personal record for the football league) to renew next season when it's become abundantly clear the new owner continues to mislead fans...

Ah yes, but that's a very short term view. Many yeovils would get us to the prem, many watfords would get us relegated. So you'd be happy to pay more to be relegated to div 1, than promoted to the prem? What a massively stupid comeback ! Playing like we did against Watford would not get us relegate...

That might be ok for you Sky / CM generation but for many fans there is more to it than just wins / draws/ defeats

I'd pay more to watch us draw 3-3 with Watford than to watch the Yeovil game every week

I think people are looking at this the wrong way. I doubt he, or any top class player , "really wants" to come to Reading, or to any club not in the CL, or in with a shout of serious silverware. We aren't going to be on the radar of players like that. However for good players who may have ...

Play Up Pompeii

Surely he wasn't released because he was under contract. You can only release players who are out of contract unless you give them the balance of thier deal.
He may well be ok as an emergency 4th choice Cb but would he be a better option than Hector - who is a specialist.

I may be wrong but I think the point is if you are asking for more money to be spent are you willing to add your share? Perhaps it would have been better to propose an across the board 25% hike in prices with the increase put aside for transfer fees. The proposals as suggested don't obviously raise...

Worryingly, for me, at this moment in time it feel to me like: Adkins at Reading =/= Brendan Rodgers at Reading. A loud of management-speak waffle and mediocre results. Targets not acheived in the market. Playing style that the squad are unable to ever achieve. Plenty of time for Adkins to prove th...

Thank god he's got kids who play Championship Manager then....

At some point soon the club will have to make a decision about Hector. He's 21 now and should have proved himself one way or the other. Reports from Aberdeen seem encouraging. Maybe the club think he has a brighter future than Marriappa and he is the missing link. If he comes back from Aberdeen in ...

Images of Holloway sat in his office on monday answering phones and shouting 'buy' everytime an agent rang him...

has anyone checked Palace have a goalkeeper on the books ?

Yes he has 3

Sighs of relief in South London then....
