Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

It's not SJM. Huang Kad appears to be sober most of the time.

If I was Huang I wouldn't be putting my ticket details up on the internet...


Oh, I think he knows full well that no-one will have the bollocks to do anything.

Re: why don't more people from Ethnic Minorities support Reading?

I reckon it's a mix of cultural influences and old prejudices about the makeup of football crowds. I also wonder if, that with the internet being an obvious point of entry, people like Arsenal Fans TV or Mark Goldbridge give the misguided impression that all football fans are a bunch of screaming, i...

To be fair to Ian, I prefer my septuagenarian club owners to drunkenly accost Paloma Faith in the middle of a gig.

Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

I think you're being a tad unfair. Given how utterly batshit crazy the past 2 years have been, Huang Kad has been one of the more reliable and measured sources. And given how utterly batshit crazy the past 2 (ok, 13) years have been, I don't begrudge Couhig announcing it with a oxf*rd huge fanfare ...

Except there was never any rumour of it being signed then, just "awaiting Dai's signature", although I appreciate you've been resolutely glass half empty throughout.

Re: Rival Watch

He did that in response to abuse from the French fans in the stadium, which is fair enough in my book.

Re: Promotion thread 2024/25

I can't see Orient not matching our result. We're both playing teams in terrible form who've had nothing to play for for a month. Regardless of where we finish though, it's been a fantastic season. We lost our one genuine winger in August, our talismanic manager in December and our top scorer in Jan...

I think we're more likely to drop points to Barnsley than Orient are to Huddersfield.

Secret player to be announced as on the bench.

Re: The footballer gets arrested thread

Akins jailed for 14 months. Plenty of time to ponder his shortcomings. And a 5-1 drubbing to end his career. oxf*rd. Lucas Akins hasn’t played for Mansfield since last season. Incident happened while he was playing for Huddersfield in 2022. He’s now got 7 months in clink plus another 7 months out o...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Sanguine Daily Mail's Mike Keegan reporting that Daniel Farke's job is at risk after achieving promotion :shock: - with Leeds' owners apparently concerned at his PL record.


And Leeds' recent Premier League record is sooooo much better.
