SCIAG Surely "non-lifting" was a dead giveaway there?

Gunter's great if you're doing well and he has an understanding with McCleary that I have never seen rivalled.

ever?

I can think of three combinations of right back and right midfield that were superior to those two.

Reports out of Cardiff suggest that they only started to have concerns about OGS after Cardiff threw away a 2 goal lead on Saturday........ As he won a total of 5 league games whilst in charge at Cardiff, if that report is true it implies even more strongly than ever that Tan is an idiot; OGS was c...

Calcio: A History of Italian Football by John Foot is an excellent read. Even has some Reading facts in there.

I was always behind the decision to sack McDermott, he was a nice guy but the results spoke for themself, it took 11 games to even get our first win on the board, he saved himself with a strong January but afterwards until his sacking he only won once, including highly damaging defeats at home to r...

Well, we were lucky to get away with that one. Looked good for the first twenty minutes, looked awful for the next 70. Very very poor defensively highlighted by Gunter being turned inside and out all night long. On the plus side it does make for some interesting games this season as we can, in patc...

marlowuk It's all about the three points

Short term, yes; long term, no. Performances will eventually equate to points.

But full credit to Adkins and the players for our current position.

Really, show me the column in the league table where the points are added for performance?

Dear me.

The Miracle of Castel di Sangro. Literally can't recommend this book enough. Absolutely. Also another plus one for Provided you don't kiss me. I got half way through David Peaces Red or Dead but couldn't face anymore. I'm a massive Peace fan but this was too much. I thought it was extraordinarily g...

KDRF The Miracle of Castel di Sangro.

Literally can't recommend this book enough.

Absolutely. Also another plus one for Provided you don't kiss me.

I got half way through David Peaces Red or Dead but couldn't face anymore. I'm a massive Peace fan but this was too much.

ZacNaloen Seems a little young for heart problems...

Too much poppers with Elton John.

no easy games at this level

Simon Church should be able to destroy Andorra. Their goal keeper plays in the equivalent of the Beazer homes league.

jesus, Wales look terrible. They must be better than this.

Negotiating salaries and fees is fairly fundamental to the buying process.

Hammond is renowned for driving a hard bargain (even Warnock has said that - and he never compliments others) so I would suggest that we tried - or we became aware of the guy's availability at the last moment

he's a massive joey

I'm not an Adkins fan but it's fairly obvious that he's brought in experience to counter balance the youth he's introducing. And that's fair enough.

I'd shore up defence by putting him at left back.

Ian Royal

winchester_royal Why do people keep going on about the youngsters? It's the experienced pros who were were to blame for yesterday.

Because they're idiots.

I was hoping to comment that you'd managed a discussion workout your usual vapid snide comments. But alas no.

And I bet he had that smug self satisfied smirk on his face when he said it.

I know it's tough right now, but I do wish Nigel would stop thinking it's not an issue to play people out of position. It didn't work last season, and it's not working now. Surely he'd already seen enough before today to know that Taylor is not comfortable on the left wing, and that Obita should no...
