I can't see Reading letting him go to be honest.

Did that finish 11 v 11 ? How the hell did the Chinese GK remain on the pitch after that assault on the striker (c2minutes in) ? It might be argued that the last defender was behind the GK at the time, but leaving aside the 'professional foul' it brought the concept of 'foot raised' to a new level. Reminded me of Schumaker (was it?) in Germany v France WC semifinal 1982.

I'm glad he has found something to do on a Saturday now that his services are no longer required by a football club.

Happy new year! Thirty two minutes into the 'window' and no signings announced. We're slipping to 17th at this rate...

My Border Collie might take exception to your comment.

sh!t on the carpet !

just noticed your 'name' , obviously an officiando !

"Standing at the dock in Southampton...."

As another miserable old bastard, and given the obsesssion with 1980's tunes, perhaps we should adapt the old ABC hit " shoot that purple arrow .."

I think he has done enough since then to throw that particular experience off and rebuild his reputation.

Very good - but there will now be an avalanche from the PC lobby.

I suspect the words might be more of a challenge as we'll probably just recycle one of the existing tunes, Tom Hark or Sllop John B. Seems to be the only ones we know aside from OWTS.

At the moment though 'boro are more of a concern to me to be honest, but its goodnews WHam are losing.

Yes, fair point.

With AL on the left, it is usually the RM that has been subject to debate, Guly, SDR, or putting a CM out there. Accept that AL could swap to the right side.

But that is T Lee (I think) playing for Japan. The suggested (KH) Lee from Wiki is a South Korean international. Will the real FW Lee please stand up ?

Great to be bringing a good player in to the building - but it is more on the right that we need reinforcements rather left as suggested above. (although having seen the goal v Australia that did appear a cross from the right).

Ay relation to FH Lee ? (or Fran Hee Lee - used to play for Man City before manufacturing bog paper).

Its a good job Fonte's new contract was announced earlier in the week. Otherwise this place would be awash with conspiracies after this abscence as to him leaving on Jan 1st.

I posted this earlier : Yes, I'd like to see RC back, but I'd also like to see the "return" of others - Lallana for prime example - to their form of earlier in the season.
