John B

There ia possibility that he maybe there more times than you or me

Totally agree I hope he is as good as Skacel

I totally disagree with your post if the result mattered he would not have put on so many subs I would have thought Accepting defeat is an important factor in life it is not easy to take but I was very impressed with both Lee Westwood and Rick Ponting recently.

I have a feeling John Mortimore may have been involved with Pompey at sometime or other I used to work with a couple of people who were vice presidents of Chelsea and Crystal Palace and they used to get us into matches free but I always thought they donated money to both of the clubs

I did not think Lowe sold him

Sorry dont think passion is key to success myself Just look at Cappello he has done wonders with England in a calm and measured way taking no rubbish from the players Just like Sir Alf

Legend may be over the top but Reading are a small club but do have a wealthy backer who has brought in good managers which has been differerent from SFC who are a pretty big club which did not have a wealthy backer and in general brought in poor managers. Reading no shareholders no board arguments either

I agree but every time I think things are getting better things get worse thats all

I think we need a strong professional manager like Pardew not a passionaite one as they seem to lose it when things go wrong in our current situation.

Yes exactly which got us in the situation we find ourselves now paying excessive wages on average players

Having a contract does not stop agents touting their players I would have thought but I cannot see Terry or Rooney joining us at the moment

I think he maybe trying to let potential players and agents know that he does not have a blank cheque book

Very Similar to the 2003 Cup Final I would have thought where we never seemed to believe we could win after that huge defeat to Arsenal. Lets face it we are a Div1 team against a Champions League and as I heard Pardew say we should not be playing teams like Ajax and hoping to win A 2 1 defeat would have been pretty good but we gave other players an oppurtunity to play in front of a large crowd against Ajax I dont think last weeks game was important it was just a celebration of survival however all the next games as you suggest are important and lets see what happens then.

For how many years is this pointless arguing going on We got relegated for a number of reasons and should just get on and see how we do in the future we have a wealthy and sensible backer which we never did in the past so hopefully things will get better.

Well does that mean that Lawrie is in the same boat as John Mortimore who was a loyal servant to the club and was Ted and possibly Lawries Assistant Dont care about the others

He probably like you could spell it and had an understanding of it use unlike Harry who probably could not spell it either

I dont think SCW would have been accepted anytime with Lowe involved. Little concerned with comments from Charlton fans as Pardew said the same things he is saying now when he first went to the Valley. After five years of constant bad news regarding the Saints results perhaps I really cannot believe things are going to change for the better. The current squad will be increased with new players and new coaches and most are not that bad so I dont really know why I am slightly worried but I am

It was a bit old though was it not

Is he the bloke who scored for Everton against us in The Premiership after we had played so well

Middlesborough spent loads on Alves over £10m but he did not score many goals

Edrich Stand excellent view from the top probably the best in the ground apart from the Pavilion

Yes I think so

I think that golf has the most sportmanship of any sport the players never seem to cheat or try to gain advantage. They also take defeat with good grace

I would have thought we would be favourites after our batsman's failure we came back really well

I agree I would not expect all to have a career in the Premiership but I feel we have produced a number of good players and we should not be little our Academy. With the large influx of foreign players it is not surprising that there are not many British players around. We always seemed to have a couple of Scots in the team but not nowadays
