I love how because their owner supports Chelsea (but has literally no link in any other way), they think that makes them more attractive to ex-Chelsea players/managers.

Bizarre.

Oh FFS.

Wait is that King at CB? What is wrong with Pring and Roberts at LB? King at CB vs Ipswich is a concern.

I assume you didn't see the game on Saturday.

They'll get their standard couple of pens.

Did Wigan start the season with a points deduction?

Yes, minus 8.

Not going so well for "Promotion Chasing Bristol Rovers".

Scrolling through the posts, apart from East Anglia, there's fans travelling from Glos & South Wales. At least one of them intends using Parson Street station. They've listed a large selection of pre match pubs.

Absolutely unreadable, that website

I reckon they'd prefer someone like Russell Martin, if he was available. 

I think it's likely that Lansdown's ego was a bit bruised after the Johnson saga (without getting into the success/failure debate) and really wants to achieve success with his own ideas about a preferred "type" of manager.

 

I could not sit through a whole season of Martinball

Unfortunately us Mods don't have that option

No need to complicate matters. "One Nigel Pearson" loud and often. Keep it simple.

If nobody is expecting it to achieve anything, then why do it?

 

What's your obsession with 'achieving' something? Minute silences are to allow people to pay their respects, it's never ever been about 'achieving' anything.

By your reasoning we shouldn't do anything for Sir Bobby on Wednesday as that won't achieve anything either.

Anybody know if that large stain in the middle of the pitch was anything to do with the egg chasers? I hope it doesn't happen repeatedly, it looks awful.

Yes, it was the Gallagher Premiership logo.

During London 2012 there were hotels available in Reading for under gbp 50 right next to the station

True. But that did involve staying in Reading. So, you know, swings and roundabouts...

Surely this should be merged with the Lansdown thread. Do we need to go over it all again ?

Agreed (and done).

Why apologise for the publication? Would it be more acceptable coming from the Guardian? 

Yes.

Can definitely recommend Köln (Cologne) as a base, it's a great city. Unfortunately not very central for the groups it's in. 

Eagles going for 12th straight away win, a 6-0 record and being the only undefeated team left.

Semi is starting today. 

I won't be too smug, because I'm expecting England to suffer a humiliating defeat (again) tomorrow.

You're aware it no longer exists, right?

Apparently quite a few tickets left for the England game. Not surprising really considering the rugby we've been playing!
