100 % win record as a manager

Yep, Smith out I guess then. 

Don’t think they fancy it either.

Nakamba MOTM.

Targett and Konsa deserve an England call up before the season finishes. 

We weren’t great tonight and were too casual but we were also dragged down to their level. Newcastle are an awful side.

Finally, the Bert goal was a thing of beauty.  

Would like us to get a third here so I can sit back and enjoy my profiteroles.

Probably collecting his Uber Eats

If he wants a rant, I’m happy for him to do so.  He’s one of our own. 
 

Anyone know how long the grass is at the Etihad?

I got myself one of these to help with lockdown boredom. I knew I'd have to assemble it myself but as the website said it was a piece of cake to assemble, I didn't think it'd be a tough ask. I've picked it up and put it down so many times now I don't think I'll ever get it done. It's just so fiddly and I can't work out from the instructions what bits go where. Having read up a bit, it's supposed to be a doddle to put together but I'm clearly not mechanically minded and I'm not sure it's ever going to get done. Might have another go tonight.

Didn’t realise these were still going.  I had one of these as a Christmas present in my younger years (Kyosho Optima) and I bloody loved it.  Expensive bit of kit I seem to remember and took my dad a full week to build.

use to race them with friends on empty car parks. Very fast.

Is this a Tamiya? Some model shops use to build them for you as an extra cost when purchasing. You could always look one up and get a price if you don’t fancy building it.

Blokes in shorts in the winter and not the Postie

Are you one of these. Bobble hat, scarf, gloves, thick quilted jacket and shorts 

My neighbour opposite is exactly this everyday.  Retired PE teacher and never seen him out of shorts, even attending weddings/funerals. Unbelievable.

What do people think of the Seiko 5/sports automatic watches?  Seem to be good value and have a nice look to me. I also looked at some of the Citizen Eco Drive watches.  I have roughly £300 to spend.

Is Olise similar to Eze in style from people who've actually watched decent chunks of Reading games compared to just highlights?

What happened to that Swift guy btw, he plays for them aswell dosen't he?

I wasn’t familiar with Olise until @Villan4Life mentioned him a while back. Looks very good though from the highlights I’ve seen.  

Swift was someone I was aware of but he had a really nasty injury in September which they think will keep him out for the season.  Not sure how he’s getting on but we can discount him.

Thank you. 

Even if people disagree with us, hopefully they can at least see that if Watkins gets an injury we are in trouble.  Yes Watkins doesnt have an injury record but we have to remember there are Ben Mee's of this world that have a habit of taking players out for a year or more with their reckless tackles.

I mean if Watkins has Covid, which apparently 10 of our first team players have it can take time to come back, it's already taken some PL players a month.  That's a lot of games without a striker.

yep.  I think with the current situation it needs to someone on these shores though and there isn’t many gettable ones.  Origi possibly but is he going to sit on our bench when he gets little game time already. Doubt it. 

Josh King maybe?  However, does he have the right hunger and attitude? I really don’t know.

It’s slim pickings this January to be honest.
