The great Sugar Ray Robinson once said...." all I want is everything "

Yep...50+ years of watching football and I can remember all too clearly the mood swing in football around the late 60's.Before then, adults would look out for kids and ensure they were ushered to the front, so they could see. Men would be respectful of women in the crowd. All that changed and it...

....and there lies the key, the infrastructure and number of STH's. It doesn't matter how much money you pump in, if you are only playing to 11,000 people in the PL, you will not survive. They cannot grow unless they invest in a new stadium. They can't boost their support base. Youngsters living...

You can throw all the money in the world at certain sports but until success comes along, you won't get it off the ground. Kids are excited and motivated by seeing their own countrymen/women achieve success. They immediately want to participate in those sports or join the relevant clubs.The...

According to some WHU STH's that I know, the club are informing fans that anyone who persists in standing will be asked to leave and will have their ST cancelled. Interesting to see how they are going to tackle at least 8000-10000 fans but apparently WHU are not that concerned as they have far...

It wasn't a great day at the office but we wil have more this season. When things aren't quite going right you have to dig in and grind out what you can. Reading had enough chances to win, so it was a good point. The target all season is to stay around two points a game. So, so far so good.

Extra training? Thought he played a full game on Tuesday.

Staam is bigging everything up at Reading but the fans aren't daft. They had a routine win opening day against a very disappointing Preston. Then lost comfortably at Wolves and Newcastle. Staam claims they were unlucky on Wednesday and 4 -1 might have flattered Newcastle but even so, its still a...

Depends how disappointed you want to be.....Man U beating Soton or the GB girls inevitably losing to the Dutch.

...and a roving comedian with mike, interviewing fans about the game and abusing them with classic material...." Christ mate, with teeth like that you could eat an orange through a tennis racquet "...." have you tried polyfilla on that acne "....." they should charge you with child abuse...

AS Adema v SOE in Madagascar saw 149 own goals in the same game.

Jon Walters v Chelsea in Jan 13....two own goals and a missed pen.

...am trying to remember who scored twice at both ends....got a feeling it was someone like Alvin Martin.

Every goal is important but so is managing a group of players through a concentrated period of games. Hughton is acutely aware that he has to keep his key players fresh and available and he had to weigh up taking the edge off our attacking options,subbing Knocky and Murray, with having them at...

The EU in its present format will not exist in 50 years time. In fact, I would be hugely surprised if it is still surviving in 15 years time. Any study of history shows that it is destined to have a limited life span. In London, in 1948, we could very easily have had a Superstate competing, with...
