Pardew was manager, Allen was his assistant who was doing the warm up in the town end half
I've never liked Reading since that "exhibition" of gamesmanship. It was that mad dog Martin Allen that went round winding everybody up. Plus the Nicky Forster and Martin Butler situation added to the equation has made me really dislike them ever since.
PLUS, in their non league days, they were known as the "biscuit men" due to a large biscuit plant near by. How pretentious of them to suddenly become the ROYALS once they got some investment into the club.
Small fry with big lofty opinion of themselves.
Did I say I didn't like them? Well I don't. Jumped-up southern ponces.

Isn’t Fisher suspended?

With the international break now over, we now get to the proper stuff and can PNE sustain their great start?
The next 3 games are crucial in where we want to finish the season.
I know it is still early in the season, but seeing we are up there in third, why not stay there?
So with that in thought, the next 3 games have to be approached with us wanting 3 wins, all 3 are difficult, but the way we are playing and our home form we have to try for 9 points!
We all know what our form is after international breaks and this has to be changed come Saturday.
The squad must be full of confidence, wanting to play and not fearing anyone.
The 2 home games don’t come much bigger, Leeds who we are due for winning, are hit and miss at the minute, then a ‘derby’ game v Rovers, both games should be well attended and give the PNE players that boost to go out for 2 wins!
PNE are in a very good position and I hope they don’t blow it in these next games, if they do well in these games, there is no reason why we can’t stay there and make a big push for promotion!!
COYW!!!

Despite fitness being one of Browne's key attributes I'd be surprised to see him start after last nights game. He played 90 mins, 20 of that when his team had 10 men and it was a really heavy pitch and tough game.

I think one part of that might be rather inconvenient for him as he rarely, if ever, attends home matches. He used to get telephone updates from a source coming off the match/ground. That rather recalls a certain......? You do become tired of his pompous, unallowing, and condescending, know-all attitude. He occasionally, twice a season perhaps, ( I could be discourteous there....maybe three) gets to a match in London, near chez Ernest... usually Millwall, or Fulham, and appears to base all his elaborately constructed comments on that, or from somehow watching I-Follow. Mention the 9-0 versus Cardiff in 1966 though and he will delight in repeatedly telling you he was there as a child, like a lot of others on here no doubt. His latest cause célèbre is defending the limited-in-ability performances of Stockley, who he is sure will come good with a longer run of appearances, despite what the vast majority, including the manager and coaches, can evidently see up close; he has moved on from berating the club for not acquiring "an aggressive, combative, central midfielder", and the Lord knows what else he's recommended in his Walter Mitty subjective and opinionated fantasy world.
Why the vitriol? Did he run over your pussy in the past?

People being a bit unfair on the boy Ernest here. Yeah, he has a few strange opinions (strange to me anyway) and "unique" way of expressing them but I have never (and I mean NEVER) seen him get personal or insulting to anyone on this forum and that deserves some respect.
Its just somewhere to chat. Chill out, you can ignore him if you want to.

I for one always enjoy his input without necessarily agreeing, its always thought provoking.
This will be my first away game in 16 years and first game in 8 years, can’t bloody wait.

I think gally will play on Saturday and will be rested for Leeds with browne coming in to bring a bit more mobility in to midfield (hopefully not meaning Johnson plays deeper).
Out of the 3 games the one I'd want gally fit for would be rovers...old club and all that...and after taking a quick look at their forum from the link on the other thread their fans are shit scared of him!!
You really think AN will pick Browne as right attacking mid. It's more likely to be Nugent up front and Barky/Bodin on the right.
And even if Nugent didn't play he will still play Bodin on that right hand side.
He is a footballer after all. I suppose it depends on how big the letters are and the number of pictures.?
