Just seen that while we're playing Leicester on boxing day, QPR are playing Forest!
Surely it would be better for us to play QPR and Leicester to play Forest?

Royal With Cheese

Super_horns Suspect Sky might look at our early trip to you guys for live coverage..

That would fcuk me off as I intend to come over for this game.

Does anyone know when Sky release their match schedule for August?

Sky just tweeted that it'll be July 8th

The only annoying thing for me is Boro away between Christmas and new year. Might be going to university in Middlesborough (because I'm thick) next year and that would be one game I could guarantee going to but they put it at a time when I'll definitely be back home! Good news is that Yeovil's in Au...

He doesn't need international clearance though so that shouldn't be a delay. Why doesn't he? I'd hazard a guess at free movement of people within the EU? Well actually he will need international clearance, FIFA rules are such that you need international clearance from both FAs even if signing a pla...

I've always been under the impression we end up being at home first most seasons so it works out we are away on the Festival weekend? I'm sure someone will prove me wrong if that's the case... We have had a surprisingly high proportion of opening day home games but it's not directly linked to fest ...

I know it was in League one but he did get 19 goals in 26 games for Bournemouth this year. That's pretty good! We could do a lot lot worse!

Anyone else starting to suspect that everyone in the Netherlands have decided to collectively take the piss out of us? They put out loads of reports that he's signed when it's total bollocks, we all sit staring at the internet for days on end. Damn those sneaky Dutch!

My only fear is whether this is all financially sustainable in the long run. If we don't promoted it isn't financially sustainable at all. Big gamble. Exciting innnit? :) Also remember there's a good chance Royston will want some sort of non-promotion release clause which is actually to our advanta...

Also therefore - there are no bank holiday monday league fixtures this season. Expectation is for August league games to be set for 3 Aug 10 Aug 14 Aug 17 Aug 24 Aug 31 Aug There won't be any midweek games due to internationals on August 14th. We've had all the dates for when there will be league f...

Does anyone know the correct pronunciation of his surname? I've heard a few different one's. I've been saying drenth-ay, is that right?

Royal Lady He made a mistake sticking with Spurs - he's hardly had a look-in since he was there -

Hardly. He made thirty-two appearances last season! That's not bad for a twenty-three year old at that level!

No mistake I want him to sign. But let's not hold him up as the messiah as that'll make it worse when he skips training come February.
I do have certain concerns about how committed he'd be on a rainy Tuesday night in Barnsley or Burnley. I hope by and large he turns out to be worth it though!

I've seen a couple of different translations of the quotes from his family. Some suggest that they say it's not true others suggesting they just refuse to comment. Surely there are some Dutch nobbers out there who can look into it?? Anyway, obviously he's a great player but I do worry a bit about hi...

I almost feel left out. I only started going to football in 2004 and only started going to away games in 08 and in that time there's not been anything on quite the level of crap that some have mentioned on here!

He's hardly said he wants to quit Reading. He's basically said that if a Premier League team came for him then he'd go. Imagine this is true of basically the whole squad just they haven't said it out loud.

There seem to be a fair few people who are miffed, or at least not particularly impressed, with this on the basis that he's an old and past it player and that we're signing him because he used to be quite good rather than based on current ability. Would those people be any happier if it were phrased...

I imagine this is extracted from something like: Journo: So, would you want to play in the Premier League? HRK: Yeah, I guess if there's an opportunity. Journo: Well you play for Wales, what about Cardiff? HRK: They're a good club, I'd consider it if that opportunity arose. And then every lazy journ...

Barry the bird boggler Oooh, I can hardly wait for this next round of pointless money making for FIFA

Don't be so cynical. It doesn't make all that much money - the reason they have it is to ensure the world cup facilities are ready and looking at Brazil this is probably needed!

Also one of Roque Santa Cruz and Carlton Cole would be great signings as far as strikers are concerned.

Florent Malouda?? Yes please!

Also Arshavin is a free agent. Surprised we haven't heard that rumour return yet. He'd be a decent singing but expect he'll go back to Russia seeing as that's the only place where he's had any success.
