His own goal v Arsenal was not 'very unfortunate', just very clumsy

It's got to mean something. Nothing in a thunderbolt from 45 yards in the 91st minute in a 5-1 defeat

HA!

With the ease at which he flung the ball to the half way line for Ramirez I'm sure he could launch it easily into the other half with a full throw, stick to that, just kick when he has to. I think he is the best we have, I know who'd I'd rather challenge in the air or go through on goal against and it isn't Boruc

Has joined Portsmouth for a month

To have such a lack of creativity with the absence of just one player is really worrying.

Agreed. Hoping so as to see J-Rod get another go

And they'd be wrong!

Pretty much standard procedure, very much the same with the Cricket at international level, Tim Abraham gets about 5 minutes and the rest fight over 2 minutes at the end

Numbers 100-71 have been announced and we have someone in at 85... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/interactive/2012/dec/20/top-100-footballers-in-the-world-interactive?CMP=twt_gu

1. Works both ways as players get better in the eyes of fans when not playing 2. The day we pick a team for reasons like this is a sad one indeed

He seems alright to me but my point was just that he cant guarantee that on Thursday whoever speaks to the press will speak or having anything to say about Lallana. Also it is pretty annoying when he tweets his stories, beginning, for example, 'We should have scored more' Nigel Adkins tells ME', when the quotes aren't exclusive and were told to a whole pack

Highlighted by the fact he says 'Will know for sure on Thursday' He cannot make that guarantee at all

They have only won two games since we last played them? Sunderland - 1 Fulham - 0 Arsenal - 1 Villa - 3

Massive congratulations. Delighted for them

Not good enough? You've made that conclusion purely on the fact that at 22 he has only made 8 appearances for WBA which is completely unfair. Yes it's a little disappointing but hardly a massive shock with the other options they have and have been solid and secure with. He has a lot of potential, young, fits nicely with our transfer policy, I don't believe they'd want to sell him though tbh

I'd like to see us sign Craig Dawson from WBA

We can do much better, Rovers fans don't want him, mind you they don't like anyone at their club

Really nervous about this one, more because of the magnitude of it than thinking we wont win, I cant stand them either, witnessed pretty much first hand at school (nearish Reading) the bandwagon which is Reading FC, Being mocked by 'fans' when we were relegated who had never until 2005 mentioned football nevermind Reading continues to leave a sour taste for me, add to that song sheets at games and you've got plenty of what is crap about modern day football in one club, And Jason Roberts, the man is a total ****k

Same for me, crazy

I suppose. Just rather not see talk of other clubs after being here for 5 minutes

Well this isn't nice reading

He was ironically applauded about five times, there were chants or 'racist' and 'the referee's a racists' and came out of the tunnel for the second half to 'you dont know what youre doing'? Hardly a good reception? In terms of Saints we just looked tired, the intensity we played at for 90 minutes v Newcastle took its toll

It just drives me mad that since Niemi we haven't had a goalkeeper that you can almost ignore and just let them get on with it without having to worry every time the ball is rolled back to him etc. The points Gazza has cost us is now at 4 because Swansea were't going to score without that gift and again last night we had began to take a hold of the game and were set to go into the second half on the up which would have forced Norwich to come at us second half and we'd have had other chances to score, instead, as Adkins put it, it changed the whole complexion.

Other way round for me, first one he seemed to brush the defender and hit the deck, second there was clear contact that completely knocked him over but he managed to stumble on in trying to stay on his feet, I was back of the Northam though!
