Re: Weekend Football

Royal Rother Blimey, now that was a game!

Fulham 4-5 Man City


Watched the second half. Great fightback from Fulham to get back from 1-5 down. Very unlucky not to nick a draw at the end with the one cleared off the line too

Re: World Cup 2026

Watched the Scotland game from about 75 mins onwards. Fantastic end to the game, very pleased for them. Seemed to be one of those nights where you just have a feeling (as a neutral at least) that something would break for them and they'd do it. Incredible scenes, and some top quality goals too

Re: World Cup 2026

Silver Fox 8 more teams added in, that's 42, which seems like a lot


42 + 4 x Euro playoffs = 46

Do we know what the permutations are for the last two spaces?

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Even given the emotional pull he has for Wolves its an odd move for Edwards, Felt like Middlesbrough was a chance for him to reverse the downward trend his managerial career was taking. He was doing a good job and on track for getting into the playoff which would be seen as a successful season for ...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game - 24/25 page 225 onwards

Reading are a has-been club, on the way down. We are on the up even though we lost tonight. Two and a half weeks to get these two, recent, poor results out of our system. Then we go again...not the end of the world. More lessons to be learnt by everyone and we'll come out fighting again. COYB :D A ...

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

stealthpapes Saw Chris Armstrong mentioned.

Player of Season 08-09 and revealed, after retiring, he'd been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in that season.

Fondly remembered here.


Yep, Armstrong was class that season. Very sad end to his career.
