That is a surprise. He was allowed to make whole changes similar to the change that MW has done for us. Just wonder whether they already have someone in mind for this position....
Back to VAR again... On MOTD we have the commentator saying that it would’ve been a surprise had VAR overruled the referee once the official had given the penalty. Lineker tweets that Mané dived earlier this evening, then both Shearer & Murphy say ‘no penalty, it was a dive’. I agree. Yes, there was contact, but Mané clearly dived as an after-thought a second afterwards. If VAR can’t see the same thing and arrive at the same conclusion as, I suspect, anybody that’s not a Liverpool fan, then what’s the bleeding point of the damn thing? Worse, if the reason is because they don’t want to overrule the original decision of the referee, then it ain’t fit for purpose at all.
WTF? Final score, how the hell did Wolves manage that result away to City with only 24% possession? Fair play to them I say
ManUre losing at Toon, I didn't realise how pathetically badly they've been playing recently, piss-poor and little or no guile to their play...

You could be right with Ole then Spuds will have a managerial vacancy when Pochettino leaves to take over at manure. Just wonder when manure ever looked at hughes to take over and will spuds look to dodgy knees....
Mark Hughes is being linked to the fakes soon to be vacant manager's job... https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/readingfc/17955324.mark-hughes-readings-next-manager/ I will p!ss myself laughing if this happens Sorry, I was not sure where to post this but had to share as it made me smile
I am between jobs at the moment and would be happy to take over at the fakes. I'm sure I could help get them out of the championship...….
Just saw this on LFW Just read this beauty of a post on the reading forum: Hughes would be a very decent appointment in my opinion. Certainly he knows what he is doing. Certainly he knows how to play football. He does have a very drab and dour demeanour. That is the reason why people don't like him. But he has taken Blackburn to the top 6. He has achieved all of Stokes best Premier League finishes. He did well enough at Fulham. His teams always seem to place around the top ten in the Premier League. Something we could only dream of at Reading. We'd be delighted with that sort of consistent league finish. Another positive is that it seems that he has managed these impressive league positions with clubs of a similar stature as us without leading to massive financial problems at Stoke, Blackburn or Fulham when they eventually dropped out the top division post Hughes like we have seen at other clubs like Pompey and Bolton. Therefore he can do very well whilst being sensible at the same time. Not necessarily the case with Harry Redknapp who has left Pompey and QPR in big difficulties following his managerial stewardship. I would be all for Hughes. As has been mentioned before. He has never managed at Championship level. But there is plenty of evidence that he can put a side together. So if he can put a good side together then I'm sure we can win promotion from the Championship with Hughes in charge.
