If he’s more athletic than gifted with ability then it’s a wonder he can even kick a ball! Got the aerobic ability of a 75 year old asthmatic smoker.

Very little chance of that happening but yes, he was very very good against us.

No, it’s about £13m including admin staff. To put into perspective, Reading’s total staff cost is £32m - although they notoriously overpay.

Difficult one. Seemed more a tangle of legs than a deliberate trip but don’t know how that plays with the laws. Friend who is a referee (and not a Cov fan) said pen and yellow.

I have a very cynical take on this. Doesn’t the Charity own the stadium? Hasn’t it for years refused to sell to enable development of a new stadium?

I’ll give him that one, he was good today. Got into more dangerous areas as well.

Spain?

Not ideal by any means but could be worse. Quick fag-packet calculation suggests we should be relatively near break even this FY, notwithstanding significant cost increases.

In the early stages of that season the club opened up behind the goal (round to block 10 or 11) for ST holders to move into. Lasted about 3 games because people were just chucking stuff at the away fans. Remember after that game the Preston fan coaches got smashed up.

Absolutely required. It’s mad that you’re trading off the goodwill of a madman and are at the behest of his supply mechanisms.

I would guess so. Club Coventry is level 1 of the premier section (i.e. not the balcony).

Can’t remember if I posted anything about it but someone at Southampton away near me was singing Ralf Rangnick’s a paedo. After a few rounds (and no one joining in) I told him that Ralf Rangnick was the Man Utd manager. He stopped.

Think that’s what drives me mad about Bidwell - he seems to be so narrow at all times whereas he needs to be putting pressure on their wide player. There was one point (wish I’d made a note of the time) where Bidwell, JCS and Hamer (I think) were all on the corner of our box and their full...

As mentioned on another thread, I’d be willing to look at one of Marlon Pack or Will Vaulks (as a replacement for Kelly) and Yan Dhanda.

The only 3 that are out of contract in the Championship who would interest me (and are realistic) are Marlon Pack, Will Vaulks and Yan Dhanda.

I do like Rose but for me his body position is all wrong when the cross comes in, too closed to the rest of the pitch which means he doesn’t know where Joao is and gets a nudge in the back just to ease him out the way. Needs to be slightly more side-on so he can keep track of his man and the ball.

A win today coupled with a win tomorrow v Cardiff would see us up to 5th ;)

Thought he did alright today to be fair.

I think a ST for £400 wouldn’t be unreasonable. Still a good discount on match day pricing structure as-is.

Appreciate it’s a different situation, but isn’t there a pseudo-precedent from when Chelsea sacked Adrian Mutu for drug use and he then became liable for compensation of the unamortised transfer fee (I did have to look that bit up, but knew there was a fine of sorts)? I’d like to see clubs...
