Got myself a ticket for the game at Reading. No doubt many will remember the match against Italy at the Goldstone in 1989. Some great players on show and people locked out the ground.

Generally speaking, the top foreign players enjoy living in the London area and stay for more than a season. Cheshire the same. Not so sure that Smethwick has the same attraction.
Ian should have persuaded SWP to sign for his beloved Arsenal for about 10million. Less hype, would probably get more games and they would have developed him into a better player. Bad career move going to Chelsea.
Nothing wrong with taking a secret weapon with pace. Remember Owen in 98. Interesting if Theo makes his England debut before he plays for Arsenal though.
James Beattie has done well since he regained his fitness. Still needs to prove himself over a longer period, but is young and strong enough to be ahead of some of the other forwards that are getting talked about.
