Rodgers linked with a return to Reading.

Would be a good job for him

Reading, Watford, Swansea, Liverpool, Reading? - spot the odd one out.

Unless he goes abroad or fancies jumping right into a relegation scrap, this is probably a decent job. Reading last I checked weren't strapped for cash, and it allows him to build back up and prove himself again.

Currently 8th in the Championship, and as much as i've laid into him in the past he's better than the merry go round managers in there. Would fancy him to at least win the playoffs

Has to be Swansea, it's the only one not in England

Lee Carsley is the interim manager of Brentford for whom by the way Sergi Canos scored for today. Anyway, Lee Carsley, remember when he scored at the derby at Goodison against us and the goal shouldn't have stood cause he sent it right down the middle where Kirkland also supposed dived to save but somehow didn't connect with the ball?

Crazy start to Burnley v Brighton

1-1 after 3 minutes

Andy @ Allerton! · « **Reply #86 on:** November 22, 2015, 01:23:41 pm »

1-1 good game this - this league is far better than the 'Premier' league - loads of fight, no spoiled fans or players and everyone gives everyone else a game.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #87 on:** November 27, 2015, 07:21:45 pm »

Big game in the Championship tonight as Hull (1st) play Derby (4th), should be a good game

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #88 on:** November 27, 2015, 08:04:22 pm »

Derby take the lead, some neat play just before the goal

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #89 on:** November 27, 2015, 08:19:42 pm »

Derby 2-0, Hull are absolutely fucking wank

mc_red22 · « **Reply #90 on:** November 27, 2015, 08:24:54 pm »

I expected more from Hull considering they're top of the league. I've not seen them play so far this season though.

Wouldn't bother watching the rest, Derby have no interest in attacking anymore and Hull are crap

Sick of Derby being on Sky to be honest, they're on every week.

I'd say this game is over, Hull don't have enough guile to break down 10 behind the ball for 45 minutes

Steve Clarke has just been sacked or 'relieved of duties' by Reading just weeks after speaking to Fulham about their vacancy.

And QPR have appointed Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink as their new manager. He did a very good job with Burton in the time he was there

That Afobe could easily play in the Prem. Top scoring player in 2015 across all leagues.

Cardiff battering Brum, yet 1-0 down because of piss-poor officiating.

Btw, Kenwynne Jones is an incredibly frustrating footballer. Despite his heading ability and physical presence, he's actually a very mediocre, and lazy, footballer.

His movement, or lack thereof, was very poor.

Tony Watt looked like the real bright spark going forward for Cardiff. Sammy Ameobi was okay but he lacks end product and seems far too casual a lot of the time; there were opportunities for him to get in behind Lowry but he didn't appear to want to run

Tell me about it. You saw that shot right out of the 6 yd box with his right foot? Oh boy. 20 yards away from the right post. Shocking.

Boro have been good, Brighton haven't lost in the league yet but up against it now as Boro have the best defence in the Championship

They are very well organised - Ian Holloway purring over the Boro defence. Every interception seems to fall to a Boro player, very cultured, cushioned headers to perfectly positioned and aware players, rather than just big looming headers upfield to lose possession.

A well organised defence is exactly what you'd expect from a team coached by one of Mourinho's former assistants
