'If I decide to leave...' Who's he trying to kid?

Everton fan I know (unreliable source) seems to think they've agreed a deal to sign Kilgallon in the summer.

Benny Benitez: Parky 6 Benny 2 (Benitez watch.). Inter sack the waiter.

Liverpool FC End of Season Dinner. Menu is as follows: Starter - Sour Grapes. Main course - Plaice (probably seventh possibly sixth) Pudding - Selection from Kuyt, N'Gog, Lucas, Dossena or Degan. Drinks - Available but strichtly no doubles, trebles and no Carling Premier. There will laso be a selection of wines served by some fat spanish bloke with a dodgy beard. Please note that dress code is strictly 'late 80's' to celebrate the last league title. All drinks will be served in plastic glasses as cups are not on the agenda again this season. For entertianment Rafa Benitez will be doing his party trick of making £200 million disappear into thin air with f*** all to show for it! -
Tempted by Barnsley, Blackpool, Doncaster, Leeds, Huddersfiled and Swindon. Sheffield United are a good price too. Looking at outsiders Leyton Orient are 11-8. They host Bristol Rovers who've lost their last five away games.

Bah Rochdale match is off, looked good at 1-2.

Harper Colo Taylor Enrique Jonas Guthrie Lovenkrands

Aye, deal stalled over his wage damands according to his agent.

Does what it says on the tin.

Think I'll have a bit of Egypt at 9-1 to win the ACN.
-
Aye they're only loaning him at the moment, would be a massive improvement on what we already have.
-
Would anyone take a punt on Majewski if he doesn't fancy Forest come the end of the season?
-
Enjoy? Typical Championship match, no quality but plenty of energy. Fryatt was s***. Not that you were asking me.
-
Accoring to the pundit on Sky if Leicester win their games in hand they'll be level on points with Forest. If that's the case anything Ipswich get here will be a help.

I love the way people are acting as if the article is the gospel truth. It wouldn't be suprising if Ashley put the club for sale and if he does I'll have very mixed feelings, but until it happens this is just like any other newspaper speculation.

Reading vs Newcastle United Pre Match Thread - 13/04/10 - 8pm
The Prophet replied to Stifler's topic in Football
Normally matches aren't called off because of the amount of snow on the pitch. ...and we're shit at dealing with snow because we don't get enough of it for council's to invest a significant amount in preventing/removing it. Hence the country more or less coming to a stand still. -

Currently 27cm of snow in Reading. -
Exactly, also imagine having to travel from Bolton as well. Will be a nightmare. The game was called off at about 4pm, they'd probably already started to travel surely? Ah, thought it was called off yesterday. Suppose it saves those not yet in cockney land an extended journey.

Craig Gardner off to Brimingham apparently.

I've heard that Ignacio Gonzales is canny.

FA Cup 4th Round Draw - West Brom (a) if we beat Plymouth
The Prophet replied to a topic in Football
Jonny, every fan wants to enjoy their football and win every game but it isn’t as simple as that. You’ve got to take account of your strengths and limitations in order to achieve your goals. A cup run would be great, but it won’t do as much good as promotion, promotion is the priority. Our squad is wafer thin and not particularly fit, any injury or fatigue in general is detrimental to that goal. Teams are capable of having more than one goal, but those teams tend to have larger squads or much less ambitious targets. It pains me to say it but a cup run this year provides little benefit. Realistically we aren’t going to win and it will only contribute to injury and fatigue. On no uncertain terms we must gain promotion. Another season in the Championship would be a disaster. Because this is so important injury and fatigue are risks worth taking, unlike a cup run which bares less significance. We’ve backed ourselves into this scenario by allowing the squad to become so small when we have such a significant ambition. Even teams around and below us have squads capable of competing on multiple fronts due to having more players and less ambitious targets. It’s sad these are my feelings because I love the cup and a run in the cup can be magical. -
Part exchange deal with Da Costa who they have now. Certainly an odd bit of buisness. Another director of football doing the buisness.
