What about a caption?

Hey Sunil! Where's the soap? The old ones are the best eh Rajiiv.

UUURRRRRRZZZZZZZ!!!!

Agreed - when taken in context of this report http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/columnists/columnists.html?in_article_id=491700&in_page_id=1951&in_author_id=344 it makes perfect sense.

If the quote is correct, I am very pleased to see SC refer to Reading FC as "his club", at last. Along with his recent comment that he wants to be here a long time, maybe he's starting to feel at home after 4 years. Hopefully i can put my insecurities about SC and Palace and Briughton etc etc to bed finally!!!

(Of course, didn't Parjudas say something similar about staying for the long haul 3 months before he p!ssed off to the Sham? Oh feck).

No, it was three weeks before.

We don't give a s**t about Reading

[Old Biscuitman]

Given the importance that the big and successful clubs like Man U give to marketing in Asia, and given that RFC apparently aspire to be a big and successful club, then those 1.2bn people might be very important to us.

Apologies if this is a Dodd but I found the following on the BBC "Quotes of the Week" page:

"It's just a game of football. There are 1.2 billion people in India who couldn't give a s*** what happens to Reading."
Reading boss Steve Coppell is philosophical after the 3-1 defeat by Fulham.

Quite true, everyone knows Indians support Man U.

What about a caption?

'Hey Anil, get rid of those bloody great Wolves shirts and have your cousin run up a few of the Royals'

'As 1.2 billion continue with their daily lives, two loyal exiles pray that Leroy Lita rediscovers his goalscoring form.'


'Who ate all the Dhall, who ate all the Dhall?'

'Hello, Madejski Stadium Sales Centre....... how can I be helping you'

'Despite the presence of two large yellow jacketed stewards, once again the travelling support persisted in standing throughout the game.'

['ooh, look at me' mode on]

Well I look forward to hearing his wit at the LMA dinner later this month. He is guest speaker.

Anyone else going?

['ooh, look at me' mode off]

Well I witnessed the great man in a double act last night with Terry Butcher. There was lots of insight, but the brain is in a fog at the moment. If any bits come back to me I'll let you all know.....

One for the URG - in talking about diving/ cheating in the game he mentioned that he was in Prague last week watching a game where the play kept stopping as players roled around. I'll let some else add 2+2 together - brain can't compute

It's his sense of humour - he's only joking.

Play acting, presumably.

OK, I'm back in the world of the living.
So Shades, I'll be direct as Sir Steve's was when asked about Gordon Hill -you can just oxf*rd off
Cookie, he was making the point, that the English game will lose something if it is populated by players overseas who 'play act'.

He's at it again, he told the BBC after the Man City game that the tabloids keep spelling his name with an O at the end.

Ho Ho Ho did I not laugh at that?

[Geekins]

What about a caption?

Singh when you're winning, you only Singh when you're winning ...

Sing when your swimming, you only sing when your swimming.
