Please please please please please let it be AK. I know he wasn't great in the prem for us and fell out with some of the players, i'd hope he learned from those mistakes, and to think a lot of us have been resigned to settling for woodgate, it would be IMO a much better appointment.

Scratch my last post, I've just managed to get to it by pressing the black dot, my fat fingers must have accidentally hit the thread title when I opened the first thread.

This, Iove the new look of the forum but an option to go to the first unread post is essential, a lot of people don't have time go go through and find the last post they read.

I'm away on a cruise at the minute and thought to myself when ajax went 1 up I may aswell just go catch some sun up on the pool deck, kinda wishing I had stayed down and watched the rest of the match, absolute madness but great to see an English final.

Good to see them following through and banning him, although IMO two games isn't enough of a punishment.

I think the braithwaite thing is a very good point, he is obviously a talented player and if only he didn't have a heart the size of a pea i have no doubt we'd have secured a play off position by now, he's exactly the type of player we've been missing.

I heard a couple of weeks ago that he was back training but thought it was a bit soon, hopefully he has fully recovered and isn't being rushed back into it.

Randolph with another wonder save to keep it at 1-0

Changes needed at half time if we're to get anything from the game, I've no doubt he will wait until the 75th minute before switching fletch for Tav.

This is awful to watch, Clayton lays the ball off to mikel then makes a run back towards his own goal to receive it again, how do they think this is going to help us score?

Looking at the table goal difference could be very important with 3 teams on 9, could do with scoring a few more for that purpose if any.

Getting very bored watching this now, zero support to the strikers and only 2 players in the opposition half.

I think people are forgetting the investment that comes into the area if we're in the premier league, the additional fans spending money in the town, extra revenue from the extra amount of journalists etc. after doing a quick google search it is estimated in 2013 when reading were in the Prem that that season alone generated approximately £58m for the local community, similar figures were estimated for swansea on their promotion and creating a further 295 jobs in the area. Add to that the feel good factor it brings knowing that you're going to see some of the best players in the world on a saturday rather than someone you've never heard of against Rotherham, i'd much prefer to be in the prem.

Kinda hope it's 4 or 5, surely if it is there is no excuse and pulis has to walk/ be sacked.

I completely agree with you mate, i don't want Pulis at this club a second longer, but just saying that the criticism has to be fair, it's not his fault that we miss so many chances, the change of shape killed us tonight, yes,, but as i say, if we take our chances in the first 55 minutes the game is over. I'm just calling for people to realise that the blame isn't being fairly dealt out.
