Vibes from my USA relatives are that it's Biden's to lose with the real nastiness yet to kick-off.
Should he pull it off it'll be interesting to see how the Republicans react (other than by denying the result). You'd hope for some moderation to emerge in advance of 2024 but as Mike Pence seems...
PG's alleged pursuit of Bruno Fernandes was a misheard rumour; it was actually Bruno Salter who has immediately come out of retirement and joined Citeh on a freebie.
Top Albion player and will be long remembered. Would be great if he could stay in mentoring capacity - his class should be...
Missed game tonight but not surprised to hear of Kayal excelling when the pressure's on. His mindset and focus are spot on. If next season's team dynamics allow, I'd play him in the current Propper space and push Davy further upfront where he might be more productive in terms of goals...
For those who like a bit of the classics at this time of year, I swear that one of the chorus parts within Bach's Christmas Oratorio (Ehre sei Dir Gott) continuously and clearly repeats the phrase, "He will sign him up". An omen that we'll miraculously secure Charlie Austin on a free transfer...
The joy of Xmas. Time on hands to read the paper and log on to NSC for the first time in donkeys.
If anybody read Rod Liddle's column in the sport section of the Sunday Times I was surprised to read that Norwich fans have been screaming for the immediate removal of Delia Smith. If she was...
Damn right. Current blip is also a timely lesson that we don't have strength in depth during current batch of injuries. Our opponents will seek to exploit this over the next few weeks so we shouldn't be surprised if there's more slippage to come. Don't think we'll finish in the auto-places; the...
Top recall on the Coventry match - I remember listening to it on the radio; think it was a really late rally with a chance to win it after we drew level. Equally possible that I'm talking complete bollocks.
Definitely not invincible. Had we lost today I think a load of people would be looking nervously at the next 2 matches thinking the tide could be turning. As it is we still seem to raise our game for the big headliners (except Derby in last couple of seasons) so confident we'll get something...
Most exciting comeback since we recovered from a 2-0 half time deficit against Millwall in the early eighties to win 3-2. Doncaster on day 1 at the Amex also fantastic but we were only 1 down for that. Any others come close?
As well as Solly's MotM, Stockdale and Kayal were massive today - we...
Great turn out by Norwich fans yesterday but surprised by the extent to which some of them clearly hate Hughton. Walking past the "legends" pictures outside the West Stand there was much abuse being hurled at his image and a couple of home-made anti-Hughton banners. Thought most people saw him...
Thought Tex was the worst ball give away merchant today. Other than that thought we played OK, Ince and Halford excellent. Really disappointed with Best's performance when he came on as sub - strolled around like he was still in his bedroom slippers. Allowed Ruddy to waste time by not chasing...
Top shot. Doesn't look like he's interfering with play even if he was a fraction ahead of the line. How could it then be offside when it came back off the keeper? Maybe not an outrageous decision but F annoying nonetheless.
Couldn't see anything wrong with it. Thought timing of the linesman's flag looked like he'd made the wrong decision for the wrong reason after the ball came back off the keeper. Haven't seen replay so could of course be deluding myself.
Think you mean "defending the indefensible" which is a bit of a worry if you really are a juror.
I honestly think the Stockdale haters are deranged. Listening to SCR on the way out of the ground there were more of them texting in their average opinions. He is a class keeper who has made a small...
Game was pants. Stadium observations: my last time at the Madejski was when we got tanked by 4 or 5 goals in the year Reading went up to Prem. At the the time thought the Stadium was quite impressive but that was pre-Amex - feels a bit limp by comparison now.
Still associate Reading away with...
