Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h) sponsored by cup fever

Aluko watch report. BBC South Today showed the squad training today (Puscas was there) and in the distance I spotted a little chap strolling along, just as he did when turning out for us-the returning hero(?) Mr Aluko. Bowen implied just a few changes but not a full scale change with, suggested by ...

Re: Renewed pessimism/interest

The RESULT is important to me, but this season I have had to make myself go to a few games, because, like others, I'm getting bored, genuinely bored. I find myself texting in play time (WTF?) I think Stam, and those who say we have to learn the possession game for when (if) we go up, is/are wrong. ...

Re: Jaap's Radio Comments

Booing only ever serves to piss off the players and the management, never seen the point in it. Everybody getting their knickers in twist over Stam calling them on it should calm down. You know the way he wants us to play, if you don't like it, don't go. Storm in a tea cup. Move along. You're only ...

Re: Jaap's Radio Comments

I've just listened. Whilst he does have a point (the changes worked) - Jon Dadi had saved the day and he could have let the jeers go and move on to Millwall and Norwich, then there's two weeks break. Saying we won't win the league and especially mentioning fans to stay away won't go down well with ...

Re: Jaap's Radio Comments

Some of the idiots who phoned Radio Berkshire and claimed that we have no plan B... What utter nonsense. He changed the formation to 3-4-3 and brought on a big target man. How is that not a plan B???? Stam's changes worked and the result was saved. The goal was scored and we didn't lose. In the end...

Re: Liam Kelly

Liam Kelly is rightly praised by Jaap Stam.
He's got so much quality, I'm always impressed by him - and he continues to improve.

. . . and hes only one inch shorter that N'Golo Kante. :)

Tiago Ilori

Empire of the Kop fanzine aren't very impressed with our new Portugal defender. :) "Tiago Ilori has just completed a move to Reading for £3.75m, with a 35% sell-on clause, which actually represents a profit for Liverpool (via Echo). This is despite the fact the Portuguese never featured once i...

Re: Thanks Brian!

The Chief Scout that recruited our best ever team for less than £4m. The reserve team manager that won the Premier League. The first team manager that saved us from relegation, got us into the play-offs, and then won the Championship. No matter how you slice it, the man's achievements at this club ...

Re: No Place for Piazon anymore?

Gifted player in many ways, not least the beautiful goal he scored in the FA Cup against Huddersfield.
But . . . . probably not box to box hard tackling warrior we need to get us through the battle maze that is the SKYbET Championship. :lol:

Re: BFTG Wolves

Thought HRK looked good (in my view I think he has looked quite good all season). Ref - was crap. Al-Habsi - made a couple of great saves. Agree on Vydra - seemed to just want to pass it straight back. Williams - uuggghhh. Just pass the oxf*rd ball before you lose it!! Cooper - weak today. Ref - pa...

New low for Birmingham if this is true. Despite apparently having the deal clinched they look to have let the player slip through their fingers to a club with incompetent management, tight fisted owners and a bleak future. Shocking. lol shots fired. I heard the wage demands were, well, just "R...

Re: Something wrong at the club?

As I understand it the Posh chairman said (on Twitter) that another club were in for Conor Washington, and then pulled out in favour of a Polish striker, on the orders of foreign owner. :roll: That could apply to most Championship clubs these days. He didn't respond when someone asked if it was Rea...
