Regardless of his attitude (which I know nothing about) I have to say that after watching him in these two games he has all the appearance of a big cumbersome lump unable to move :o I had heard so much about the guy being a future star but he just does not look like he is anywhere near a premiership player for any club much less a club that intends challenging at the top end :roll:

Personally I am delighted reading won and I hope that they complete the job at wembley on may 30th 8) I have to say though that when I look at all the good young players that have played the game without ever really making a name for themselves, I cant help but look at a player like andy griffin and wonder how this guy has played pro football for so long :? For me the guy is solid fcuking useless and I have seen him play in the prem lge with the geordies and pompey and I have always felt that their must be better players lining up for the horse and hound pub team :roll:

Passion and effort goes a long way. If our squad played with half the passion of the likes of say Blackpool, we'd be dangerous. :x

Amazing, he is shit... he reminds of a Christian Dailly, same position, also had a long career at the top flight and equally useless...

Cardiff City underachievers and proud of it. To (honest I would rather them go out tonight than be thrashed in the final by swansea. I am expecting a few text messages from swamp dwellers I know, had some off my villa supporting brother in law - how to bugger up a week and its only tuesday.

I am now in hiding.

Anyone else watching the 2nd leg Huddersfield Town v Bournemouth.

Brilliant game it's extra time and it's 3-3 on the night 4-4 on aggregate.

Afobe as a big target man has done more work on the 2 centre backs than Chamakh has done since the Villa game away :oops: :roll:

Typical I say that then he gets subbed. Still what I said stands, he's been good up front.

Was just about to post about this, brilliant game, personally backing Bournemouth for the league 1 play-offs. I know the play-offs get some stick from a few but i think they're quality.

The final kicks off in an hour, Swansea are supposed to be favourites.

I totally agree! It's called The English Premier League. A lot of the Welsh bang on about how much they hate the English,so why do they want to play in our League(s)?
Come on Reading!!!

would love to swap sinclair for walcott....probably quicker....but he's a real footballer...can use both feet, scores half chances and has a football brain...skills, walnutts will never have.
