Not sure why people are against this! - He is used to playing as the centre part of a front three for his country, somewhere we are very short of cover - where he has been prolific - if against "weaker" teams (Sudan, Angola and England). - He averages a goal every 215 minutes in both the ...

It does seem crazy considering his record for us. Clearly he and Derby are keen to show that was a one off. The current situation at Derby doesn't help. They paid nearly £4m for Blackman and he hasn't even scored for them yet. The only striker at the club thats had any kind of recent form is Martin ...

RoyallyFcuked Cardiff 0-1 Reading

When Fergie left, United's average age was 25/26 i.e. the same as it was over pretty much his entire reign United have done alright against two average/poor sides Source? Even if it was, a revamp was still needed, and the main point I was making was Fergie has been far more successful than Wenger, ...

Haven't they spent £100m this window? Nah, looking at SSN, they have only bought in Xhaka (£34m) & Rob Holding (Undisc.) so unless Holding cost £66m..... :shock: It's about £90m if you include Mustafi and Perez who are undergoing medicals. I presume Rother quoted that figure from the BBC articl...

They came second last year, that's not too shabby. United have been a shower of shit since Fergie retired. Can't just assume it'll all magically transform with a new manager. Liverpool have spunked over 1/2 a billion since '92 and have yet to win the league I guess the league table never lies but i...

Harriott

ArsenaLOL have got to be the biggest laughing stock in the football league right now. Season after season the same thing happens, absolute rip off for their fans. I actually feel sorry for their hardcore supporters that go home and away, spending thousands every season on the highest ticket prices i...

You realise he played on the left wing for 75% of games last year before finishing the season up front? But the point I was making was, its still a modest record for a forward player, and surely we could have got someone better? Point doesn't stand tbh. You don't expect wingers to score lots of goa...

Gomes should have saved both goals.

Chelsea might scrape the top 4 if they're lucky.

Soon: HRK signs for Hull Then: He is quickly found out and dropped to the bench Later: Hull are relegated and he's back in the Championship One day: He plays for Hull at the Madejski and misses a sitter Cue: A rousing rendition of "Hal Robson Kanu - You've Always Been Sh1t" from the whole...

Mendes is the only one that puzzled me, not writing him off but surely we could have got someone with a better record of less than a goal every five games in the French second tier? Its probably about League Two level, and I'd rather we'd have got someone in with a proven record in League Two for i...

I don't feel like following the trend here.

I think we've done some decent business this summer, whilst spending in a Madejski-esque way. Swift and Harriott are really good signings from what they've shown so far in their careers and at that young age they will only get better. Beerens and VDB could be pretty shrewd as well and I'm pleased we...

Valid points, and 6 defeats in 7 is definitely sackable form in the football world... but I still think it's a joke that he wasn't given the summer. On past achievements the evidence is there that Brian is good at building teams, it's what he does - and he wasn't given the chance at all. Especially...

And the clown hasn't even been to any games. I don't have an ST anymore no, mostly only go to away games now. Did a handful under Clarke towards the start of the season, since Brian returned I've only been to two as I've become too disillusioned to keep attending and frankly lost a lot of interest ...

Sounds like the new club motto should be

"Love Brian. Hate Reading"

Legend Ron. Reading man through and through and has seen it all, the highs and the lows.

Nice to hear him talk about 106 season and the good times, some great memories I will always treasure.

Maybe the club should have appointed him on an interim basis or given him a contract to the end of the season instead, because clearly unless he worked miracles they had no intention of retaining him. It seems whatever money there is available, they don't trust him to spend it. Whoever comes in need...
