(apologies if cross posted with epic fail)

He tried to tackle them but was too late

6 pointer tonight.

If we lose this we are FUCKED. Got to take some home points this season.

Yeah, lets hope this new band of french fancies have a little more meat on them.

(for those who don't know mr. Carr is our chief scout)

Reading

I'm going tomorrow because I missed too many London games through work. Not expecting anything. Reading are looking strong at the moment and we are not.

I'm expecting chelsea to win 5-1 then have a day of Clive whinging about it.

or them to draw and then have a day of Clive whinging about it

or them to lose and then have a day of Clive whinging about it

^^^With such a dominant performance that the FSW gets a 5 year contract

then have a year of Clive whinging about it.

I think Clive might go on ignore if TFSW goes perm.

Chipping Norton isn't really that close to Reading...

If they were supporting a local football team (which is pretty unlikely), it would be Oxford, Cheltenham or Swindon.

John I think Clive was making more a point about stereotypes. Although Henley on Thames would have made a similar point without the need for geographic quibbles.

I, for one, am worried about Clive. There is definitely less sparkle to his weekly in-season missives. Less wit. There is a lack of "Clive-ness" about them. I fear that if TFSW stays, we will only end up with Clive copying and pasting content from the Met office rather than putting his unique spin on the parts of the UK that are not Stamford Bridge et environs.

So Mario has gone for a reported 20mil

at last good riddance to bad rubbish

all we need to do now is get rid of suarez and ..........

oh hang on a minute

Worry not.

I am currnetly trying to ease back into viciousness after the death threats of earlier in the season which led to unprecedented and thoughtless censorship. I also have a problem that I am meeting my very nice country doctor and Reading season ticket holding cousin before the game and don't want to upset him.

Thanks Mike. That is the boost we needed.

ahhh death threats
the one thing we are missing in the football thread

DTM dicki.

there you go...

dtm ? isn't that a german motor racing series ?

I'm not sure how seriously one can take a death threat where the participants are named Rupert and Julian.

Maybe a 'damn good thrashing' would be more appropriate?

Villa in real trouble. 2-0 down already. Lack of leaders is evident & without a couple of additions this team is going down.
