Too much can be made of pace. It's important to have drops of it in a side, but you don't need pace in every single position. You need someone with a good football head and touch, and a good touch combined with a good brain can often open up much more than raw pace can.

Would take Remy in a shot, although he's probably on a fortune.

QPR are painfully short on quality in specific area's, which will be their undoing. And they seem to have a painful lack of team spirit. Reading are simply short of quality full stop. I will stick my neck on the line here and say they're both long gone. For either to stay up they will need to win 80% of their remaining games, whilst also hoping that the teams above them lose every week. Not going to happen really.

Can't see anyway back for QPR or Reading now to be honest.

I don't think we're going to be spending close to that! Not sure why we need to buy a top RB anyway, as we already have one.

Paris, probably.

Jinxed.

To give credit to Fulham, they look bloody good tonight.

3-0 lol. Relegation pretty much confirmed.

I can't get over how bad QPR look. This could be whatever score Fulham want.

I wonder how long until we get our visit from Flyer?

They look completely horrific. They are long gone. The fall out next season will be fun to see though. Redknapp won't hang around.

Don't expect many signings. I can probably see 1 or 2 additions. A utility defender, who can offer cover in both FB positions and CB. and a pacey winger/come striker.

They are completely and utterly out of their depth at this level, it's embarrassing to watch and you kind of feel sorry for them at times.

You will always get complete morons involved with every club. I had the misfortune of sitting next to a couple last year, one in particular spend every minute of every game at the start of the year telling Lambert to get back to L2 where he belongs. It's safe to say that he was silenced a few months into the season - maybe the guy has resurfaced near you this year!

His last clean free kick in the league, was during our 3-1 win away at Bournemouth back in L1.

Villa look hopeless thus far.

Let's just calm these threads until we're actually safe. As good as our last 2 performances have been, we're still only 4 points from safety (could be 1 if Wigan win their game in hand, although unlikely) Long way to go until I can feel conformable talking about next seasons chances!

Don't think Larsson would add much to us if I'm honest. He's slow as ****, and for me our summer recruitment program needs to include a little more pace throughout the spine. There honestly isn't anyone in their side who I like the look of. I think they're a squad full of ****, he should be given a medal for putting together such an average team of cloggers.

Apparently no one, the assistant will become the interim appointment. Seems to be be that O'Neil quit, as opposed to them sacking him after reading a few of their forums.

What an absolute mentalist time to do it. They're gone.

If Jay Bothroyd can play for England whilst at Cardiff in the NPC, then so can Rickie Lambert.

Has always been a class act. Will play for England.

Goodnight Reading.

Wow, I didn't expect us to be as sharp as that after an international break! But we completely caught an under strength Chelsea team off guard in that first half. They had their spell in the 2nd half, but that was as good defensively as we've been all season. Exceptional display of positioning and heading from the center backs, especially Yoshida who had Torres for lunch today (what a shadow of a player he looks these days). Can't help feeling slightly deflated by Wigans result, but we have just dragged everyone into this from 10th downwards. Who would have thought Stoke would be in trouble a few months back? I can't remember the bottom of the PL being as condensed as this for years. I think we've lost 2 teams though on the back of today, can't see anyway back for Reading what so ever. They're gone as far as I'm concerned bar the shouting. QPR need to beat Fulham, if they don't then they're also long gone. Who knows who fills that last spot? Pretty confident it won't be us if we continue to play with that intensity though.
