Re: Wolves - Back From The Game...

Excellent result, decent performance but, most of all, a GREAT game. Considering we've seen some appalling football this season, today's game was a fantastic advert for CCC football. Well done 'ding & Wolves. . Bit confused by this, apart from a nice intense atmosphere mostly generated by our f...

Re: Hard to see any progress for the forseeable future

I think SC's great ability is in building a team and getting it to play above the sum of the parts But this is what all great managers have in common........ a team is as only as good as its weakess link as well. Readings success is borne out of continuity with its managers in the recent past ie Co...

With the impending "credit crunch", all those players whose contracts have get out clauses if offers are in excess of £5 million are received will have a long wait................ For the first half today we saw the beginning of the next title winning team. "Hard to see any progress f...

Re: Back from the game

Meanwhile, there's a young lad playing down the M4 in Wiltshire who's banging the goals in for fun - 6 so far this season. Does make you wonder if the management team kept the right young striker Having seen Cox play numerous times since his transfer..... stands out as a good player in a very avera...

Re: Hard to see any progress for the forseeable future

There are a dozen clubs in and around us that have more potential, and thats what an investor in football looks for, not crowds of 24-000 and little history. S'ton, Leicester, Coventry, either Sheff club, Forest, Wolves, WBA to name a few Southampton heading for relegation already........ WBA not e...

Hard to see any progress for the forseeable future Your post subject sums up whats wrong in football today.......... We've got good youngsters coming through the academy.

Re: There's a message for some Reading fans in Ashley's words.

Don't cry for Ashley - he'll get all his money back when he sells the club.


Why ? If he wants out then he'll have to accept what's offered. Newcastle like Man City require a total rebuild of their team. The bubble is bursting ........

Re: Madejski being booed yesterday

Covering the year to June 30 2007, Chelsea's accounts show that the club's largest creditor was the owner himself, Roman Abramovich, who had poured £578m into the club, not as a donation but as an interest-free loan. As stated by the chief executive, Peter Kenyon, in February, Chelsea did not owe &...

Re: Madejski being booed yesterday

The suporters don't want out, they are still investing in the club season in and season out and rightly feel insulted by being asked by Madejski to up their game. As supporters we aren't investors, just mugs that pay our money season in season out in the belief that the current players have any loy...

Re: Lita

After signing Mooney it was obvious that one of the other 4 strikers was going to leave. Lita has had his chance at Reading and thrown away the opportunity with his off field antics.

One day he'll be a great player when he matures.......
