*Official* English Football Season 2008-2009

[grecian]

C'mon Reading, City can use the extra money if they go up.

Here to be parochial....

Liverpool ahead in a Saturday evening game, seems to be a rarity that

What odds Newcastle finishing bottom

Going to be a massive game against Midlesborough.

 

[GIMH]

fertang's boys one down at the death. Will be a nervy second leg.

 

[GIMH]

Didier Drogba would have been proud of that tantrum

 

[fredfertang]

I fear our chances of finishing 20th in the prem next season have gone

 

[GIMH]

Not fancy your chances at home?

 

[fredfertang]

Not fancy your chances at home?

Not having won at home since January, to be honest, no ................... but there's always the "funny old game", "game of two halves" cliches to give a bit of hope but ITBT we've been clueless ever since Siddy went to the Chavs

 

[GIMH]

Didn't do wonders for his career that move, did it

 

[fredfertang]

I doubt he saw far beyond the enormous wedge he got and, to be fair, who can blame him

 

[GIMH]

 

[fredfertang]

At least Drogba kept his shirt on while throwing his toys out of the pram ....................

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, that was some display earlier. Will that be the end of his Reading career? Coppell seemed appalled, and in all honesty there was no argument against the dismissal, was there?!

 

[fredfertang]

Possibly not - I have it from a pretty good source that Coppell will walk at the end of the season whatever happens and it also seems Doyle is on his way out come what may - hence my concerns about challenging Derby's record in the unlikely event we did get through the playoffs

Ahh, the Coppell leaving rumours, a little worried about these

Who is in line for successor, do you have any idea??????

 

[GIMH]

Got a soft spot for Reading, grecian?

Not really, haven't forgiven them for beating us 3-1 at home to lose our 30-odd match home unbeaten run, the last time we got promoted to the third division.

More worried about where our manager is going.

Tis is crap, btw, I'd suggest that no-one takes him off our hands, to be fair.....

Well, given that it's no secret that Madejski would like to sell if he could, they're not keen on parting with much cash so my money would be on the "continuity" card being played and Kevin Dillon would get a go which, I expect, would be as successful as it was when he filled the Pardew void for a few weeks

................. not that I'm a pessimist you understand

Ah I see. Reading were the first team to ever make me cry so I share your pain

fertang, we'll do you a swap, Ronnie's done a decent job but Coppell surely should return to his first club to take us up

Ahh, yes a capital idea, Dillon or Eamonn Dolan would do you well, I would think
