Poyet said the following today in response to something Tony Bloom had said.Poyet posted:"It's very interesting. Tony Bloom needs to get over me. If it's true what he is saying, he is talking about before the Crystal Palace game (March 17). A week later I had an opportunity to leave for a Premiership club (Reading)." Apparently it was all agreed at one point for Poyet to take over Reading with Adkins likely to replace him at Brighton, but Poyet changed his mind because he didn't want a relegation on his CV. I wonder how differently things would have turned out if he'd joined us?

Yeah Poyet didn't fancy the Reading job and turned it down. If he thought there was a small chance he probably would have gone. Piecing it all together Poyet asked the club to leave in March either then or at the end of the season. It's rumoured he has been lined up to replace Jol at Fulham hence his sudden desire to leave, but since a new Chairman has been put in charge and Jol looks to the staying. He then decided not to go to reading and basically not on speaking terms with the head of football or the chairman. I think this season could be a struggle as we try to reign in wage spend to reduce our 8 m losses and comply with FFP. I don't think we'll go down but mid table is looking likely and mid table in this league generally means that your in a relegation scrap to the last day. Last season was a massive missed opportunity. deletebeepbeepbeep fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Aug 8, 2013 |

Paul Robinson's on Soccer Saturday and he has maybe the single dullest voice I've ever heard on a football programme. Stelling's like 'AND WE'LL GO TO PAUL ROBINSON WHATS GOING ON AT THE REEBOK PAUL' 'yeah its been alright no goals yet'

As a big One Direction fan I would like to know more about this Donny Signing, I tried googling it but I ended up getting lost in fan-videos of the 1D tour for a few hours and never found out the information I wished to know. Where does he play? Is he the next Messi? Does he look good in the Donny kit? Has he scored yet? Thanks in advance

He hasn't played for us yet and it's still early days in his development but he's probably going to be the best footballer ever. Everyone looks good in a donny kit as you probably know, especially when they're raising money for charity like he and donny are doing. hth xox

Didn't go to the match myself but from listening to Ali "rose tinted eyeballs" Brownlee on the radio we actually played pretty well and with a decent striker up front we could've scored 3 or 4 and won comfortably. By all accounts Richardson was tidy and made the defence look more solid and Adomah was class putting plenty of good crosses into the box. But we'll just have to wait and see whether this is the start of something good or just a blip before we continue our downward trend.

The fella on 5live made it sound like a hellish bore. I'll go and see them against QPR away in September so hopefully we can string some form together before then.

Before kick off I had no issues with Blackman starting above Le Fondre and Pog, because in recent years we've seen Sig, McCarthy, Bertrand, Pearce, Jem, etc come through unexpectedly. Loads of Reading fans were quite vocal about how awful they thought it was though. Turns out they were right this time, as he looked totally out of his depth most of the game. Also, I have no idea why we always start awful and improve as the game progresses. It's been like this since Coppell left.

Apparently Leeds tried to sign our captain Gordon Greer and we told them to stuff it and now he's signed a new deal. Not sure how I feel about that because we have a crippling lack of pace in defence and we need someone whose not over 32. All our defenders are either crocks or half way to the retirement home.

Time to come out of the woodwork and post in the proper footy section for the first time and admit(confess?) to being a lifelong Forest fan. Cautiously optimistic this season after despairing at the sacking of O'Driscoll and that numpty Mcleish handed the reigns last season. Wasn't overjoyed with Davies but he steadied the ship and only just missed out in the end so he deserves a go this season. Signings look encouraging as well, although you always scratch your head at paying big fee (£2.5m is still a big fee right?) to bring someone back who left on a freebie. Still, he chose Forest over comedy Champions League footy with Celtic. Three wins from three games so far, they've only managed that twice in 16 years >.< Home to Bolton this weekend, winning that will certainly make more of a believer out of me that this season might finally be the one! Started following Forest in the 70s and attended fairly often in the 90s, being a distance away and not as well off as I was then has seen my attendance drop. Platt and Atkinson almost killed me off completely and I was very worried about the Hoddle rumours last season when the new owners were promising a world shaking name... Edit: VVV  Used to like them back in the Big Sam days, especially Kevin Davies.

Reading are to play the Oman full national team at Madejski Stadium on Saturday 7th September, kick off 3pm. We've got a feeder team in Oman and regularly have people from their FA over, seems an ideal way to keep busy during international week. Bit weird though.
