Comfortable, boring midtable, with a new owner and no financial implosion, would be fine

Any update on this?

I think we will win but I don't think it will be pretty. If he isn't going to play Foden as a 10 then don't start him, start Gordon or Palmer on the wing. Would actually like a 3-5-2 for this one. Pickford Walker Stones Gomez Saka Rice Bellingham Mainoo Palmer Foden (floating) Kane I'd be very comf...

Snowflake Royal 2-1 to the Swiss in normal time, I reckon.

I think it will be a repeat of the Swiss' last game - 2-0.

Southgate is falling for the old England trap of trying to fit everyone in, instead of actually building a side. I bet he's missing Grealish right now. Completely agree, but tbf he was getting pelters, and on here too, when his focus was on building a side. I think we're missing Rashford, fwiw. Yes...

Foden is the only one who tries. I don't blame Foden, he's out of position and can't play with any freedom like he does at City. I take your point but if we are playing with wingers then we need to play actual wingers there imo. Oh, we need to play with a left side. Foden should be in Bellingham's ...

They’re a business. They’ll be getting an excellent training ground, I assume on the cheap because of our desperation. They owe us nothing. Our club has been absolutely shafted by a series of utter tossers, if Wycombe can take advantage of that to give themselves a competitive advantage, good luck ...

Ian, I think.

Ian royal is a lawyer?

His every utterance oozes the dangerous combination of arrogance and bluster. What other job could he possibly have?

WRTOP, I've seen this tweet from SBWD: https://x.com/SellBeforeWeDai/status/1747596396562092091?s=20 What legal advice do we think SBWD need to procure, and is it fair for them to be fleecing gullible Reading fans into donating their hard earned so that a few self selected fans can pay a lawyer to ...

Pretty good, generally. As I said earlier on in this thread, however, despite my general trolly attitude and my pretend disdain for the club and the fans, I am really quite upset by all the developments of late. In terms of our approach, we appear to have the suffragette stuff in the bag, but I can...

He said the police will clear the pitch and empty the stadium if necessary. And the game will continue the behind closed doors. I don’t know why you need to argue with me ian. He is a senior steward and they all had their briefings before the game. So why don’t you stop arguing and just accept what...

So I just went round and spoke to him again, he doubled down he said all fans will be removed from the stadium and it will take place behind closed doors. The game will NOT be abandoned. https://i.ibb.co/wKQ7WFs/IMG-9043.jpg I didn’t disbelieve what he said, I disbelieve that they can achieve it if...

I'm fortunate that my local MP is sports minister. I haven't written to him yet as he's never replied to anything in the past, plus would he really care about a sports team miles away? But probably worth a shot now. MPs care about correspondence. One letter here or there, they can ignore. 20 it's h...

Sebastian the Red but I see absolutely no chance in hell of us putting pressure on the Chinese government over this.

Pressure to do what? It's none of their business.

Perhaps you should read the post I was replying to. Context really helps.

Have the local MP's got involved? If not, it might be a good idea to get them to do so, likewise the town and county councils. External representations - all the way up to the Chinese Government - to apply pressure on the owner to sell up will work more effectively than tennis balls on the pitch IM...

I understand snowflake's response, but l imagine that at some stage a protest will have to "hurt to work" or what use would it be? The pants day protest had a good natured, humorous approach, but perhaps the current situation is too serious or desperate for such genteel, polite protest, i...

I started supporting the club in the mid 90s, when I was about 10 years old. I remember at that time hearing people talk about the Simod Cup, how it was such an important part of the club’s history etc. To a 10 year old, 8 years before felt impossibly long ago. Like a different generation, a differe...
