I make this a season of consolidation in the Prem, maybe with a decent cup run thrown in for good measure (a bit of luck for a change in the 3rd round of the Carling I see……).

top result today – a real nerve settler. We’ll be ok. For one season, let’s forget the beat a top 4 club and lose to the likes of Boro/Fulham/Reading/Wigan approach. Let’s concentrate on the mini league just beloe the top 4 and do well within that.

Rest easy Irons til the 15th.

I can’t say I am a huge Curbs fan but lets face it he has bought in some good players (Parker, Bellamy, Upson, Neill, Ljungberg … to name a few) and yes I was slighty disappointed not to see Adriano but I agree with the others a good year will attract the great players, no World Stars will want to join a team that has flirted with relegation (not that we will be this year) but after last year we have to be realistic!!! If we do well the first half of the season we may well see something bigger in January but we do have some very good and talented players!!!

I think the signing of Solano was a shrewd move, you have only got to ask the barcodes who where sad to see him leave. Lets not forget this guy is good in a dead ball situation, something in my view we need. As for Camara, I admit I’m not a fan but lets give the boy a chance, I remember him scoring against us on a cold December night and he was a speedy little bugger!!!

Lets get behind the boys, these are the players we are blessed with until January and in my opinion we’ll do well. 3-0 at Reading, a great result!!! These boys will do us proud, mark my words!!! C’MON YOU IRONS!!!!!

period. END OF

at the end of their careers? are u a muppet or just an out and out loser??

gary speed was effective til 37. sheringham was til 40.

so there is no reson why solano,jungberg and others north of 30 cant do a job. injury prone my rear end- dyer breaking a leg isn t injury prone,

and in the end you ll never know PRECISELY WHEN WE EXPRESSED OUR INTEREST ON BARNES OR SHOREY. so don t talk tosh.

and get your back in your box . you deserved to b eattacked because you were a whinging, complaining ,timewasting piece of excrement. admit you were wrong and shut teh funk up.

supporter?? you don t what the word means. wsster.

All I was trying to say was, with our supposed resources we had the ability to aim towards the Egg’s vision. And I cannot honestly see that buying players towards the end of their careers and those with checkered medical histories, is going to help with that. Especially when you consider how their current clubs were seemingly happy to see them go. But again that’s only my opinion.

How much we bid for Shorey or Barnes is irrelevant, in fact I’m glad we didn’t pay over the odds for them, I just question waiting until the end of the window to bid – especially when it was widely suggested all Summer that both were targets. The point I was making was that Reading & Derby were quite entitled to rank the prices up, we should have just tried earlier & had alternative back-up options.

But that’s all over with now, and it’s down to business – and a great result today! Looks like we’ll be having more luck with the counter-attack game on our travels this season!
