When were Reading last in the Prem? Im sure it was recent but I cant recall at all
Their dicking by Big Willy there was pretty recent in fairness.
They were relegated in 2013 under Nigel Adkins.
one season with actual premier league player of the month winner Adam Le Fondre a few years ago
Wednesday are probably the best of the play-off teams and I’d fancy them to be most consistent over 3 matches. That said, it’s a bit of a lottery as I can attest from bitter personal experience.
Expecting some major surgery at Pride Park in the close season. I can see 4 or 5 of the first team leaving with some pace and steel coming in. Fancy us for top 6 once again
Who is your gaffer at the moment? McClaren got sacked again didn’t he?
Gary Rowett post-Birmingham innit,
The teams coming down don’t look that strong. Think Derby and Norwich will be at least top 6 next year
Ah, of course! Seems like a good fit.
Totally lose track with the sheer volume of managerial changes.
Gary Rowett.
He could be the one we need to rid us of the obsession with clinging onto the mainstays of the team that reached the play-off final 3 years ago. He seems much more workmanlike and pragmatic which is precisely what is needed to get out of the Championship
5 managers in the last calendar year…
… Wassall, Pearson (seems a lifetime ago), Chris Powell, MacLaren, and Rowett
Not sure about Norwich though. Depends a lot on who they get in as manager
Good to see TC is still with Mick McCarthy by the way
They’ll go up. They’ve invested a lot in the team, and they’re releasing Bassong
I remember West Ham playing them at the end of the season when we both got promoted. Them as Champions. They went straight back down.

Seems to have lost his clipboard though
Tiger Crew?
Michael! Oh Miiiiiiichael!!
I really like Ramsey, fuck all y’all
