I found the MOTD programme that showed highlights of the 1982 WBA FA Cup semifinal at Highbury on YouTube recently: the commentator said that both teams had returned tickets and we only took 20000 that day? Anyone remember? As a child at the game it seemed pretty full to me. It was a pretty dull game: apart from the Clive Allen rebound goal neither keeper had much to do, Bob Hazell was magnificent in keeping Cyrille Regis quiet all game.
Why will Edwards be cheap in January? Southampton don’t need the money and he’s on the bench most weeks so one long term injury to any of their central defenders and he’s in their team again. And having paid over £3m for him then they’d surely want at least their money back.
Ah no that’s bad news: always look to see if he’s in his space in the Paddock and realised I didn’t see him last week. Really hope he gets better asap: top fella.
If we can keep RND for the rest of the season I don’t think we need to sign anyone. Southampton would surely want at least their money back on Edwards which would be over £3m: with the cover we have at CB then he seems unnecessary at this stage.
And like them or loathe them the story shows the role that Wetherspoons play in the community: the old fella could’ve had three pints for that money and wiled away as many hours as he wanted.
He’s been a great signing and at 23 has loads of room for improvement. It was telling that most Reading fans didn’t begrudge him a move to a higher level even if it was to us. Get him on a long term contract asap: I think he’ll be playing for Senegal before too long.
Yes the paddocks side of Lower Loft was the emptiest I’ve seen it for a few seasons: guess it was a combination of late kick off/school night/main game on Sky/iffy weather etc but it was a shame.
If your team is 3 goals behind and playing badly with 5 minutes to go then fair enough but leaving early when we have undeservedly let in an equaliser and have already had plenty of decent attacks and there are just a couple of minutes to go seems misjudged to me.
To be fair corners, free kicks (apart from Dembele’s direct effort) and long throw ins were fine last night. Madsen’s set pieces are consistently better than Chair’s.
Best atmosphere at LR for a while, not just after the last second winner but throughout the second half. Chants and singing all around the ground. By contrast thought Brum fans were very quiet apart from the 30 seconds they were level 🤣
Well of course Stéphan isn’t lying about Kolli being injured: if this wasn’t true then we all know Kolli’s Dad would’ve 100% called it out on social media by now.
If Kone goes to AFCON and Kolli remains unfit then we will need Frey to play and perform. How about we try be a bit more positive about him and support him? He’s nowhere near the worst forwards we have had and has shown he can score goals for us.
