All I can say is that when this is all worked out it better be ****** worth it as I really can't take any more of this talk talk talk turning out to be a load of cobblers, JMs pre Xmas comments on money available irrespective if the takeover position being a prime example. Here's hoping next season ...

France would qualify anyway, even if points were at stake, through the usual handball or miles offside goal.

Bristol C or Accrington at home in the QFs, could Reading's youngsters be about to go the furthest the club has ever been in the Youth Cup?

Well our last 3 transfer windows have been utter crap so one more won't make any difference.

mr_number Ridiculous thread. What next? What's the most teams from Lancashire we've played in a season?

Should we count Bolton as Lancashire or Greater Manchester or both?

Where would you put the diamond in that or the Xmas tree - out.

Making a reasonably important point with at least some relevance to most people on here. What was I thinking ??? The match is still on, the marathon will finish before kick off, so all the people will be off the pitch. They'll be asked to leave the stadium unless they are a STH or have tickets for ...

Just waiting now to hear that Baird is off to Forest or somewhere... So much for JM's statement that funds would be available in January irrespective of the take over situation

Is noelgallagher still standing by his comment that it's already done and dusted and it wil...

That's probably Norf London though, Sarf London is another much posher and nicer....

Can we count Clive Doyle?

Pepe the Horseman royal dave is gonna go to town on you when he sees this.

If he responds on this we'll need a week to try and translate his musings into something understandable so probably a good move to start it now.

^ this! despite Jam saying funds will be available. If any thing happens it might be by way of loans next month.

Mid Sussex Royal Agree with Hurlock, Tait and Whitehurst - shame none of them were with us that long

Thought Tait was with us for about 3 years

Robin Friday had a pretty hard side to him I believe and couldn't Kevin Dillon look after himself

YateleyRoyal Still seen nothing official regarding this.

Still there it seems and as he was allowed to bring in a new signing last Friday I can't imagine him going just yet....
