QPR will beat Reading, it won't do them any good though.

where many go wrong in assessing the potential of players is that they can't tell class from effort. Class brings consistency, playing out of your skin one game in every 4 or 5 doesn't.

it's not that at all, the PL fairplay league takes in far more factors than cards. Respect of the Ref, Respect of the Opposition, Behaviour of Officials etc. If Liverpool are severely judged for Carragher's moaning and Suarez's cannibalistic tendancies we could just finish in the prime spot for a Europa league place if England finishes in the top 3 which is by no means a certainty .

cards are less important than referee's reports

I think that you just have to admit that the game has become too evolved for one bloke to control for 90 minutes albeit with the aid of 2 far away assistants. Sooner or later it will have to come to video arbitrage for important decisions, something like all goals being reviewed unless they're absdolutely clear cut.

For Forren it must be a cultural shock,gone from Champion's League and international football to scrappy kids matches on what looks like a public rec. Looks right porky as well, expect him to be gone in the summer, just doesn't look interested. But for the original question, no they don't need to explain, the Transfer Committee bought a dud that's all, we'll get a tenner back and write the rest off. From now on we need to let Mauricio do the buying of players.

couldn't say about Cropper but I'd wager that none of our other U21 CBs or GKs makes the grade. Never rated Martin and Stephens will go the same way, just not progressing quickly enough so we'll have to sign at least 1 more CB this summer and then Stephen's days with us will be numbered, probably Forren's as well.

just shows how good you have to be to play in the PL. Can't see much coming through from the youth so I expect we'll be buying again. As Shaw and AOC have proved if you're good enough you'll get a game at a young age, if you aren't you'll be passed on. If you're not knocking on the door of the team sheet regularly 18/19 you might as well start looking at flats in Bournemouth or Pompey.

I thought Fox had a good game, might well see him start on Saturday.

not much,well by professional football standards anyway. Far less than a K a week I'd expect.

why didn't Shaw start on Saturday then? Looked keen enough to get on when Fox seemed to get a knock but signalled that he could carry on.Think Shaw has been dropped ?

yes Mulumbu is still suspended, last games of 3

Not to mention the net curtains, will look great in his garden shed when his Mrs chucks them in the trash, packet and all..

Especially as Nicola doesn't like paying up contracts, ask Ryan Dickson about that.

Well I don't know if it will help us but but there's a bit of a to-do in Norway over a Senegalese player being suspended for accusing a ref of being a racist. As far as our domestic situation is concerned Carragher's continual harranging of the ref and Mad-Dog biting people won't help Liverpool.

I think Hammond will stay right where he is, why would he want to go to Reading and be farrmed out again if they should miraculously get promoted. Reckon Adkins won't last the season if they aren't doing well by Xmas.

to be above us they'll need 40 anyway and as far as Norwich,Stoke,Newcastle and Sunderland are concerned I don't give a rat's arse..

once again the usual springtime bullcrap about players going.We can only offload players if they're out of contract or if we can find takers.I bet half of those mentioned will still be here come August. Personally I expect Ramirez to be one of the first out of the door,not because we want it that way but I'm not convinced that he believes that he likes English football.

at page 3156804 of the Pompey Takeover saga, mark 8.

what mix? the only mix that I can see contains Villa and Wigan. Reading and QPR gone so just Villa and Wigan to bludgeon it out on the last day.

No I thought it was a decent game to watch, both sides were singularly lacking in the final 20 yards though. Good defences I guess.

well I definitely thought he had a reasonable game.

went to that Saints-Stoke game, seem to remember Waldron's goal was an absolute stunner, probably getting it mixed up with a Baker effort from a different game though.

well that's all wrong isn't it ? 4 victories out of 5 would still only give Wigan 43 points.

he doesn't actually overlook anything at all, just spouts shîte.
