Some interesting observations from the Burnley chap there wmsaint. Don't disagree regarding Fox, time will tell about Cork but not sure Chaplow in the prem, cm or out wide. Perhaps we should go back for Trippier, just to **** Eddie, and the Burnley & Boscombe Athletic fans off once more.

surrender

Disregard my post above:

Plant (as in Le Plante, well actually the name Lusardi came to mind first) This below made I laugh....... (deserving of a whole new thread I'm sure).

"Many people" thought Peter Rodrigues past it, and a strange decision when he signed.Did not turn out too badly.

Probably a fair summary of our LB options.

Do we need a LB ? I do accept the 'improve' and signing 'better than we already have' policy of course but there are other more important areas to recruit for.

He's won everything going with Barcelona and for Spain. Bloke clearly needs a new challenge, but unlikely we'd persuade said bloke to realise it and do the obvious thing and join us.

Actually the plain white back for Reading is a recent development. Sorry, you're not quite as unique as you'd like to think. I'm not bothered if we have the 'same' r&w traditional stripes as another club providing it is our traditional kit. But yes, would love it, really love it, for a return to the air florida kit.

"Fields of Athenry" , about some poor Irish bloke being transported to Australia due to English landowners and politicians during the potato famine. Strange how they don't mind using the famine as a convenient backdrop to sing about their 'martyr's' , but find reference to it by Rangers fans as offensive.

Which one ? Club shop has some (KK era, ridiculous red one with white 'Sue Ellen shoulders', 1976. or try Toffs.

F^ck off - many of us are still stuck in the 1980's and have not reached S-club yet.

You may be right, but it was equally nauseating then as it is now.

As did David Armstrong. But the link does not end there as both were left sided midfielders.Adkins take note.

It strikes me as a sort of psychological profiling or identikit for potential recruits

Watching the Rep of Ireland/Eire game tonight, wondered if our kit is a red version similar to theirs ie contrasting red columns, with a pinstripe (in their case gold, in ours white). Crap if it is.

You could'nt make this up could you ? Remember Sybil Fawlty complaining to Basil over in advertisment he had placed in the paper saying "No riff-raff".

Sorry, I wasn't setting it out as how we broke our records, but just some recollections of big money signings. One thing I could not remember was when we first broke that six figure barrier. I don't actually recall anyone for £100,000 so did we go from Steele to Osgood ?

Sorry , confusing Harchester with Fulchester !

Rumour that we could also be signing the Big Busted Red Indian Squaw as well.

Turkish, are you relaxed about the polo shirt he was wearing for the signing photo ? And, anyone know if he was looking at quilted jackets in WEst Quay ? If so, I think we should be told.

you sure he's not Welsh ? It gets a bit multi-cultural around Tiger Bay in Cardiff you know. Only a p!ss take btw
