To be fair, we'd probably get more atmosphere from the half dozen ball boys behind the goal than we normally do from the Chapel.

Good Saints performances but lots of chances missed. I think we all know which way this is going...

------------------McCarthy------------------- -JWP-----Stephens------Yoshi----Bertrand- -Armstrong---PEH---Romeu------Djenepo- --------------Ings----Adams--------------- If they go full strength I think they'll have too much for us as it's their biggest chance of success. 2-1 Spurs, sadly.

McCarthy - Competent Gunn - Sh*te Cedric - Sh*te Valery - Sh*te this season but don't want to dismiss him yet as he's still young. Will be 1st choice RB when we go down Yoshida - Sh*te Vestergaard - Sh*te Stephens - Sh*te Bednarek - A little bit less sh*te than the others but still sh*te Danso - N/A, hasn't played in his actual position yet to be able to judge Bertrand - Competent Romeu - Competent Hojbjerg - Competent JWP - Competent Armstrong - Sh*te Djenepo - Good Boufal - Good Redmond - Good Ings - Good Adams - Not good enough for the Prem so sh*te I guess Long - Sh*te Obafemi - Sh*te

Yeah, you don't get it. Plus, he's literally said he's going full strength. We went strong in the last round v Fulham which is a clear indication we're going to take the cup games seriously so why we would suddenly make loads of changes for the first game against our biggest rivals for 7 years?

Get Boufal/Djenepo on Diego Rico. Guy is a liability and about their 4th choice left-back. Expect a high scoring affair again as I can't see us keeping Wilson and Fraser quiet but we should have enough to damage their backline with all the injuries they have. Just hoping for no new injuries and a positive performance to take into the big one next Tuesday.

He's saving his first goal for those dirty skate b@stards. Oh how sweet it will be....

Track the man with the ball. LW v RB - so James was his man. If someone else makes a decoy run, then that's whoever should be tracking back's responsibility. I'm not taking away anything from the finish, but Cedric has to get much tighter and let the manager blast whoever should have been picking up the decoy (Mata?).

Not sure how to PM but I am interested.

Reading 4th? I don't like them being from round those parts but above Spurs and the bin dippers?!

Is Bertrand back fit?

Difference being that we took just under 3,000 their last time. Can't see it being that many again (nearer 2,000 I suspect being midweek).

Energy drink. They sponsored Reading for a while.

No longer regionalised:

Harrison Reed gone to Fulham apparently

He's not a 'good guy'. He's always been a kn0b, stemming back to his non-league days. Don't question that for £4m it was low risk and we got enough out of him for that though. Should have signed him when he scored against us all the time for Swindon. At least then we would've got some resale value out of him.

1) 11th 2) 5th Round 3) 4th Round 4) Che Adams 5) Redmond 6) Vokins 7) Promoted, sadly

Don't think that bit is true, judging by what was said at the event that some fans were invited to last night. Think it was Ralph but may have been one of the board members that said we'd had interest in Redmond and Hojbjerg.

It's likely to take more than one transfer window to fully clear out all the dead wood we've accumulated over the years and get a squad that Ralph is happy with. Priority to get off the books should be Austin, Forster, Hoedt, Carillo, Clasie and Gallagher who all clearly have no future at all. That should at least free up a fair chunk of wages for us to be in a better negotiating position when trying to buy.

Would be amazed if we were allowed to do that. Effectively discriminates against him for having a mental illness.

It exists at the majority of football clubs nowadays.

Off to Brentford by the looks of it.

First Targett and now Stephens. Have Villa scouts ever watched us try to defend?

£54m for Seferovic? A Man who scored a goal every 5.3 games in the German league? :lol:
