Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

That's what I love about this place. It doesn't matter if the news is good or bad, someone is going to get a slagging off. Consistency is key.

Brilliant news. Congrats both Billy & Jade. Still think he could be doing a job for us in the Prem but not to be.

Stay up as the minimum. Continue to develop the squad in Jan so its a comfortable run in & the group can hit the ground running next term. A decent Cup run if it doesn't impair our League performance.

*bite* :D

Agreed. It's like when players boot colours don't match their socks, I have to boo. Guly is terrible for this.

And the Southampton Saints defeated the Reading Royals one zip at the weekend with a netbuster from JP1... Think of how it could be - what's not to love?

What about Chaplow out there? His decent run of form last season came as attacking left mid when Adam was out. Could do a job until Jan & would give Shaw a bit more cover away from home.

A tough tackling Colombian midfielder eh? Could he be the new Jhon Viafara???

If Shaw is out, who would we want to replace him? Reeves or Fox or even Butterfield with Clyne out of position?

Thanks chaps; perfect. Hopefully I'll have one happy little chappy tomorrow having met a few of the team + seen a much needed win too.

Bringing my 6 year old with me on Saturday and he wants to see if we can meet some of the players prior to the game and have his pic taken with them/get their autograph. Does anyone know what time the team arrive before kick off? Or is it easier after the match? Any help given will be gratefully received!

Excellent stuff. Oh Gaston Ramirez... (we're glad you're back in time to tear Reading a new one & sorry to hear about your sad news whatever that was).

And will I have to imagine watching him play on Saturday or will he be there in person, do you know?

Any update on whether young Gaston will be back for the weekend?

Has this got parallels with Delgado? Was the birthday thread on TSW insufficient & Gaston was expecting more cards? Do we never learn???

Must be something pretty major for him to need to dash back to Uruguay, potentially missing a critical game. I wonder if the club have let him head home with the proviso he's back in good time to be available for Saturday given its very much a 6 pointer.

If Gaston doesn't play on Saturday, it will be my fault based on games I've been to: 1) Man Utd - bought these; Ramirez not signed in time to play but does pop out to give us a wave; 2) Fulham - injured before the game 3) Spurs - still injured Got tickets for the game on Saturday and now he might be in Uruguay instead. Obviously he's far more important to our survival bid than me watching the game so I'll send back my tickets...

Strange things can happen when there's a chance you could miss out on the Premier League pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...

Or maybe his English hasn't progressed sufficiently to say how he feels SMS is his spiritual home?

Maybe he's been sidelined in case he tells fans at the Megastore he's off?

I think that's part of the problem, it's not one mistake. It's one in each of our 4 match unbeaten run except Newcastle. I don't believe in slaughtering a young player like some may do but maybe it is time to remove him from the firing line so he doesn't get destroyed completely by further high profile mistakes. Goalkeeping errors almost always give away a goal and, with the Prem so well covered, it's seen by millions too, which increases the pressure.

One massive mistake & 2 points lost. Apologies. Forgot to wear the lucky pants from the last 2 games. Gutted. I'll take the rap for this one Gazza but no more of those please, son, ok?

Needs a solid 2nd half to even think of keeping Boruc out next week IMO. COYR!!

I wonder if there will be an emotional homecoming for Nigel Quashie to bolster their midfield. What's he doing these days?

My money would be on Taarabt.
