George

It's their cup final

He'll get fit, come into our side and partner Rhodes in the second half of the season. They'll be the most dangerous partnership in the Championship and fire us to promotion. Nurse! My pills appear to be running low.

I still don't really see why we can't do that.

I've got a good mate from Dresden so I asked him what he thought. He said Wendyball is a poofs game and he can't understand why I'd be interested.

Well I'm a 14 year old girl from Phuket.

For Max Clark? We paid £750k for Rhoys Wiggins didn't we?

Problem is, it would be like signing Jordan Rhodes. People are so used to having a new thread about it every four or five days that if we actually went and got it they'd be flipping clueless what to start endless threads about. Then some other schmuck would have to start slating it because it wasn't a magic bullet that solved all our problems after all.

I wonder how many of the posters spaffing themselves at this statement of the bleedingly obvious will be whinging heartilly when Nando and a few others flounce off because they don't like it.

If I may use the vernacular; 'e looks propper old school there too'

Er... I really don't think the two are mutually exclusive 'round 'ere

I am really concerned that we appear to be looking at players who we have not previously had on loan. Surely everyone on Owlstalk knows that we should only speculate on loanees and people with familial links to the club?

Did Carbone ever refuse to play? Even when the manager was publically slagging him off?

I can see why you feel that way but truly, after the debacle at Norwich he should have gone. I am quite sure that the wee wee poor form of the team that followed was the result and ultimately that cost us promotion or at least a decent crack at it. Maybe I should get over that but I haven't yet and no matter how good he is (and I agree he is very very good at this level) he's still a cheeky monkey.

Sums up perfectly why I can't stand the little poo. See Bannon's shot shortly before; not even trying to get himself onside. At the start of this clip as Reading bring the ball out of defence he just walks out of the way. Infuriating. I can not get my head 'round how people think that's okay.

We knew he was playing for a move in the first half where he actually bothered to use his left foot.
