We had a ropey first 10 minutes of each half, but we really should have been 4-0 up at half time.

Sour grapes and all that.

Nameless Interesting to see the Brummies think Newcastle and Brighton are 'running away with it'.
We're closer to 2nd place than we are to 5th....


One of the correspondents on talksport (a lady) said Brighton and Newcastle are like men against boys this season, which completely baffled me.

About 2 months ago I upgraded to a DAB radio as my old one barely worked and would only pick up some stations.

I began listening to Talksport. Initially really enjoyable. But now the amount of utter tripe they talk is annoying. I've never listened to so much deluded and wrong things in my life. Some is ok but the majority is rubbish.

Alan Brazil in the morning i initially enjoyed but now him and that scouse guy is unbearable. Equally I listened to two presenters on there about 10pm after the Fulham game. It was embarrassing.

Conversation was:

Presented 1: Coutinhio is on £70k a week. A complete joke, how can they pay him so little? :shock:

Presenter 2: he should be on around £150k a week in my opinion.

Presenter 1: what about Sanchez and Girioud. What would you like to see them paid?

Presenter 2: I'd say £200k a week

Presenter 1: and Silva?

Presenter 2: £250k a week Id say.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Probs Jason Cundy and Andy Goldstein.

Alan Brazil is stealing a living. Completely clueless. Breakfast show is just him chatting to his mates.

I enjoy drive. Adrian Durham's entertaining as long as you don't take him seriously.

+1

Except for I'm talking ten years ago
Brazil and Parry were amusing to start with but the novelty soon wore off
And it should be called TalkFootball as that's all they are interested in

They do occasionally talk about cricket, horse racing and boxing, but that seems to be it.

Was listening this morning - usually do first thing as I prefer talk radio in the morning.

Someone said (not Brazil/Scouse guy), that Lampard should go straight into the Premier League as a coach as he's too talented to have to do his badges and work in the lower leagues. He knows what world class footballers are like apparently.

I'm the first to admit that I don't know much about football compared to other fans but one thing that seems obvious to me is that playing (at any level) is ENTIRELY different to coaching. How many fantastic footballers are now good coaches? Similarly how many great players have failed in coaching and the top leagues?

It's often like listening to two Man United fans from Surrey, who never miss a game on sky sports talk about their views on football.

Some *Stam* seem to take at it like a duck in water. Others (Zola is one i can think of) cannot seem to coach a team to save their lives.

Zidane I guess? Laurent Blanc? Conte? Dechamps? Ancelotti? Beckenbauer and Cruyff would be the best examples though right? Granted theres not many and theres way more examples of lower level players becoming great coaches.

When they do its not for long. Football dominates
Horse racing gets a mention when Brazil goes to Goodwood or somewhere else to party hard

And Stam had been coaching/managing at youth level for 7 years before getting the Reading job.

Anyway, I see Zola has been whinging about Reading fast showing a lack of class
For singing Gary Rowett's name after we scored. Ah diddums.

I liked Zola as a player but he increasingly comes across as a clueless twat as a manager.

Zola for Rowett was absolutely the most brainless managerial change of the season and, nothing against Zola personally or City fans but I'm glad it's going tits up.

It makes me wonder why any top footballer even would consider management. Why? Even when successful it must be stressful as the expectation increases, the greedy board want their money and it's a battle of funds, losing you're examined (rather than players), fans start turning...

If I was a top footballer (I'm not in case you were wondering), I would happily go into an academy role, or into the youth system maybe.

Management - thankless task (other than the huge sums of money their paid :wink: )

No I genuinely believe Adie is just an idiot.

I like him, he's just clueless.
