Re: Hunts gone

So sorry it hasn't worked out for Noel. I wanted it to, but never had the feeling it would.

He is a good man who loves the club, and anyone celebrating this needs to take a long hard look at themselves (we know they won't).

Re: Players

Savage, Pereira, Abrefa, Ahmed, Dorsett, Lane and Garcia certainly all have the potential. Ritchie was playing there last year. Yiadom has been Championship quality and looks to have regained his fitness. Wing would probably fit in, weren't Champ clubs after him but he chose to stay here for his fa...

Re: Is it time RFC ended Club1871

I think everyone has been struggling to get excited this year hence the poor atmosphere at most games. If you don't song yourself at games you shouldn't be criticising other people for not doing so. The fan base is clearly divided over "hunt out" and C1871 are no exception. A fair number ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Doncaster Rovers (h)

O'Connor and Williams are good L1 defenders at the peak of their career and we look solid. But you also see their limits in possession. Doncaster are keeping their shape and letting them have it, and there is no threat. Whereas Bindon and Mbengue could start moves to open up defences. Big open spac...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Doncaster Rovers (h)

Good save, then Sharp taken out after the shot. It's odd, in the middle of the park if a player gets taken out after the pass, it's a foul. But you see strikers taken out after shooting every week and it's never a penalty. It's not even controversial. You see defenders dive under minimal contact ev...

Really missing comments recently - any gems from the Cobblers fans about last night- hopefully them saying how cobblers we were :D They sound a bit like us in the last eight weeks or so This is utter garbage. What’s the actual plan here? Keep punting it long in the hope they make a mistake? This is...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Anyway, much better performance from the players than from the hapless ref. Seemed to coincide with considerably less hoofing. Dominated pretty much the whole game. Jacob had his best game in a Reading shirt. Abrefa continues to impress and Yiadom was great when he came on, maybe losing the captainc...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Sorry to go all Royal Jimmy but if a male ref put in that performance you'd all be saying how terrible it was. You're all just tiptoeing around it because you don't want to be accused of sexism whereas I believe in equality and she was just as shit as all the male refs. For a start she missed at lea...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Been to every home game bar Port Vale so far and there's not been much, if any. There was booing at the end of the Mansfield game but that was for the ref as most of the crowd thought MO'M should have had a penalty at the end Yep It was a huge amount worse under Selles first season. It’s more a bit...

Re: Ex Royals

Clyde1998 Seems Ruben Sellés is about to get the Real Zaragoza job; currently bottom of the Spanish Segunda División.


Given how prone he is to a slow start, that doesn’t seem like a promising move.

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

If they were going to have a "transitional season" as people keep saying then perhaps they should have let Salah and Van Dijk leave and looked to refresh their defence and attack properly. Salah had phenomenal numbers last season (best ever in Prem iirc), so even if it were the 'right' de...
