On the other hand 6 or 7 professionals should surely have spotted something as simple as stretching, they have known there was a problem all season

Like you would never get Sheffield United supporters to beat John Denver's efforts or learn new words - never happen

I always liked Sweet Caroline so I had a go at some Reading specific words - changing it as little as possible. I think the first 3 verses are a bit slow to build and so we should try to start at the first chorus. Any improvements or adoption welcome. Please also feel free to vent any irrational spl...

I never left

Might want to save a bit for wages?

SJM clearly had to sell at a bargain price at the time of the original deal. With the economy and the fortunes of the club better than at the time of the deal he may well be keen to renegotiate if the opportunity comes along. Similarly if Anton bought us as an investment he may be able to turn the c...

I had assumed that was to Gary Glitter's "Come on"

I remember someone on this board years ago posting "surely in any game you either win or don't, isn't that 50:50 probability" - made me laugh

Can I just say that was pretty poor in the Ferrari, if he was trying he needs to take a long hard look at himself, probably never went above 50 on that video. I expected more. Also it looked like Coke he was drinking not beer.

A good negotiator would now be putting a time limit on the offer to Pearce, sign by xx or the offer lapses, and Hammond does seem to be quite good at negotiation. Put him under some pressure.

If we sell Federici, Gorkss, Ledge & Pog and release Taylor, Harte, Shorey, Pearce, Tabb, Hunt & Church we would have a lot of scope to bring in new players to develop the squad, some of the ones we want to keep might not make the starting 11 next year.

Isn't it time we had one for Anton after what he has done for the club. Anton Zingarevich (repeat) to the tune of "La Done e mobile" from Verdi's Rigoletto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A3zetSuYRg Or for the very few non-Opera buffs on here, the tune to the legendary "you've got di ...

In a strange paradox England is a country, so is Wales, Scotland and so is the UK which is defined as a country but made up of different countries. Britain is technically an island. According to the passport office and US immigration we are UK citizens first and foremost. I am English first.

I was stopped from taking a christmas pudding in a ceramic bowl into Man City - quite right too it was a stupid idea

Nice video interview from the BBC, sounds a sensible bloke http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19338675

You must all be pleased that the club is providing some songsheets to liven up the repertoire then - may I offer them hearty congratulations on your behalf?

Bargain, thanks for the adding

I have given up visiting the official site as the design is so poor, just use facebook and twitter now to keep up to date except when I need tickets, and that is confusing too. As someone who has just revamped their company website I know what is posible now and this design ignores most of it.

Can I just object to people bringing facts onto this board. That's not what I come here for.
