and then get injured again.Bad signing that one.

When we were talking about this earlier, I forgot to mention that penalty we never got at Elland Rd. We were up 1-0. Shearer was clearly fouled in the penalty area in the last few minutes--no pen. We had completely dominated the game. Leeds went down the right wing, a routine cross and header and 2 points gone. Without that decision alone we would have won the Premiership at Ewood. In his Diary book Shearer said that was the clearest penalty you could possibly see. Even the Leeds fans around me agreed it was!

Here's my take on it----if player after player is choosing to leave then its because the club is not committed to keeping them. If Rovers won't pay the going rate then another club will. They'll go for nowt, we won't replace them for nowt. Its bad business. Always 2 steps forward 3 back with us. I remember fans saying the same things as you're saying when Pickering left in 1964! Quote from him at the time "its not as if I'm on 40 quid a week or something"!!

NO---I'm not having that! There's only one Biz!

which of course we can't do.....It crushes every piece of optimism.

I don't believe that. There are enough people who care enough to ensure we will always survive. If it were not for those dopey owners (I'm being charitable) we would not have anything like that debt to start with. But I'm not knocking you. I like good news and I hope that everything you believe will happen comes to pass. In the meantime I just watch the great strides Bolton, Blackpool and Accy Stanley are making and shake my head in disbelief.

He has been a disaster in many ways. So far this season though, things are much better on the playing field at least. I think he has had to play more youngsters than he would like, but (surprise!) they've been up to it. Off the playing field, its a pity that Waggot doesn't get that if you increase the prices you reduce the attendance. So, sadly, there are fewer fans to see it. The walk-on price of a ticket is disgraceful. So much wrong at our club but at least now we can enjoy some success. I was going to add "while it lasts" but I've been gloomy enough for too long!

No---they are "in line for' as I said.

Same goes for Norwich?

Exactly how I feel. With Mowbray, less is more.

The key to this season so far is what was said on here all along----build from the back---Kaminsky and Ayala! Fingers crossed!

I enjoyed the Gallagher goal most. For someone who can't trap a bag of cement he didn't half bring that ball down well.

Casa St James!

Do any other clubs do this?

Just remember longsider that you'll be in danger of missing the 2 East Lancs derbies!!

Not as many older players possibly having that effect?

Was going to make that exact point! If the opposition has 62% possession and loses 5-1, then possession means nothing. Wasted a whole season without getting that!

Not all that many Gav!

Well they sacked him because they wanted to appoint Kean---so it did play a huge part in our demise.

Agree. Its not about Burnley, they just happen to be the latest victims. There'll be more.

And now want you to pay the rest. The word for it is racketeering!

Hence my question mark! the penalty hasn't been handed down yet but the media generally expects Reading to lose points. Heading from my favourite paper but there were any number of easy to find articles saying the same thing. Reading in line for points deduction over breach of EFL financial rules Championship club face losing six to nine points Reading were placed under transfer embargo in summer

Don't forget MJD are charging Burnley 12% interest! An utter disgrace and should not be allowed. I know its Burnley but and hard to feel sympathy but our football clubs shouldn't be exploited in this way.

So have Reading haven't they? Little chance of us being relegated this season! That Mowbray has a charmed life!

So long as he doesn't Roger the cabin boy!
