Here it is; Following a stirring performance for Reading over the weekend which saw Ian Harte provide assists for both of The Royals‘ goals in their 2-1 win over Sunderland, the Louth man has hit out at Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni. Having once again been overlooked by the Italian...
The stats can show anything. I'd argue, from my point of view of course, that WBA, Spurs, Everton and Swansea had strong squads and so haven't been under pressure to spend heavily this season. And Fulham's place at the bottom is wholly due to Spurs (ironically given their total net spend) over-payi...
Oh well, huh? I just hope that the majority of people will take the same attitude if we go down. But in all likelihood they won't and theyll be that fukked off that we didn't make a proper go of it, with some "Premier Quality" signings that they wont bother going. And I think you're just b...
two options i know about- two players we knew about, had scouted, tracked,liked, wanted, assessed, valued, and bid for ince and Sig. didnt get plan A. tried for plan B, didnt get either would you plan C be to for someone who wasnt as good, you werent really interested in, didnt think was worth it? ...
That's not about making up stories about bids though, is it? That's a reason the club doesn't want to get relegated. Why would they sit around thinking "oh, those fukkwits on HNA will notch a 12 page moan if we don't look like we've done something. I know, let's say we bid on Thomas Ince"...
Why do they need to "appease the fans"? Fans are idiots, fck em. They are the ones who won't be there next year if we are relegated. That's not about making up stories about bids though, is it? That's a reason the club doesn't want to get relegated. Why would they sit around thinking &quo...
If anyone is appeased by a bid for Siggy then more fool you! Brian admitted in the summer that Siggy was too big for us now and wanted bigger things. I know it his move to Tottenham hasn't been completely successful but has the situation really changed that much that we were now in with a decent cha...
A pre-season friendly at the NY Stadium would be a good way of giving RUFC some of the additional cash they should have got when Alfie came to Berkshire. £300,000 is a little embarassing. BTW, how do you Millers pronounce his surname? We have a local radio commentator down here who alternates betwe...
Apparently Samba has only played a handful of games this season and is not match fit. If Soccerbase is to be believed then that's not really the case, although it does indicate he may not have played for 6 weeks, so your comment has validity. http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=41...
Considering what we needed and what we got, it's been an entirely mediocre transfer window. Kelly looks solid and Akpan was good in the BRIEF bit of time he played on Wednesday. The chap form Porto was shit and we havent bought an attacking midfielder and if The Pog injures himself collapsing in a h...
Even so (and this is a separate thread in itself) I can't see us losing too many players - Pearce, Le Fondre, Kebe, Federici, Pog off the top of my head... We would still have the makings of a quality Championship side, a couple of signings here and there and we would bounce straight back up And Gu...
