Peterborough and QPR

I actually think the likes of Carroll and Shola will struggle in the Championship, the centre halves are just that little bit more uncompromising...

Villa Park - It'll be my first match of the season!!

It would appear that we are suffering a long protracted death ... the worst kind!

Lone and dead is surely a new heightened phase of bad luck!!

I keep seeing magpies everywhere, yesterday I saw a solitary one, later I saw a pair and this morning I saw a solitary one. A few weeks ago I came across a solitary dead magpie next to the 8th hole at my father's golf course, that can't be good!!! What does it all mean?

If you're gonna gan nuts then pick a man's pub rather than a student dive!!

No Bassong, the red card was not overturned... Not that that'll surprise anyone!!

There are teams who are set up to yo-yo. WBA, Sunderland and Birmingham for instance. We would be knackered. The Championship is definitely not the place to blood youngsters.

A draw wouldn't be the end of the world, either way we would have to beat Villa to overhaul the mackems. A loss just means a draw won't be enough for them against Chelsea.

Changeling. I was very very impressed and Jolie was tremendous.

holy fuck - this has just got very serious

Mr Plunkett, 78, said: "they are silent. They can also become invisible." That's handy!!

Canny place it is too, as Danny said quite EMO'y but you're likely to see goths, chavs and business suits in equal numbers. Very random mix of invariably nice people, who just want to get pissed out of their heads.

Really? Both seem pretty grim to me on visits. Had a couple of good nights out in Reading. On about an away day surely though. Reading's fucking shit for a night out as well mind. I feel that I need to defend my current residence here a bit. Not sure how long it's been since you tried it but it's getting better all the time. It's not amazing but it's canny night out. Danny - Re: the birds, you went to an EMO club, what the fuck were you expecting? As for an away day, the stadium is a long way out but I got the bus back in to town within 10-15 mins, no half hour queue like. I think you are confused, I was defending reading. Ps Emo chicks are great. Apologies, re-read your 1/10 comment and it was clearly about Burnley...

+1. Hull could feasibly get a result against Bolton or Man U's reserves

So is that Middlesbrough down? No, we'll keep battling etc Yeah, but is it more likely that you'll go down than stay up? It's going to be tough etc.

I've seen Gavin Webster and he's cracking..

Is that aside from laying on two goals?

You've got to admire the kids attitude and his willingness to put his body in the way of everything. There is still a lot of improvement to be done, but name me a centre half who reached the peak of his abilities at 23?

He brings a whole new dimension to the side. He's proper quality. Nobody else in the squad can fill his boots tbh

Fair play to Nolan, he set two goals up and was much more effective. Partly because the Boro midfield wanted an ice age on the ball.

Some of his questions were awful. He asked Taylor the same question three times.
