Re: Reading FC x Wycombe Vultures debacle...

Re: What is the point of this International break ?

They are valuable friendlies for the teams taking part in them. It makes little difference that you have no interest in them. The game got by quite well without international breaks for over a hundred years. Why have them at all, and especially why for friendlies. But then football got by without b...

Re: Trafford back in goal for next game.

Didn't Kompany say after the match that it's now Trafford's turn to support Muric whilst he has the shirt? It'd be the end of the road with the relationship between manager and fans should it happen.
