Aaargh, why do Reading fans moan about losing our best players like it's some insult to us and a sign of a badly run club. It's always been this way, we're no different to about 86 of the other league/premiership clubs. Accept it, it's how it works (but low, sell high - if you can!). Anyway, thought...

Is that mr Sonko with the 50p shaped head?! Usually wins his headers (photo above says it all really) but where the ball goes tended to be a bit a lottery (but like his passing really). Good defender on his day though (never quite the same here after his knee injury).

When did we sign Wellington and von Blucher? Are they any good?

I thought he was on loan to Exeter? Are you sure he's injured?

You are correct, Exeter it is/was. O/S says "he recently picked up a knee injury after starting 4 games".

You can add young Bignall to that list as well (although I know he's injured). Having seen very little of him (he's quick isn't he?) or BW I wouldn't know where to rate either of them.

You're thinking of George Friel.....

Administration itself isn't a bad thing as it allows the entity to have a future in one form or another. The problem comes if the administrator cannot make the entity a going concern or if no one comes along to pick up the debts. So far no one has fallen into liquidation in recent years (in the prof...

Would love it if we tried to sign the Turkish fella. They never get a work permit on Champ Manager though. Whoah! I'm still scarred from signing Elrhoy Kromheer (sp?) and Peter van Der Flap (Kwaak I mean) after TB2 watched them in a pre-season friendly and decided to buy them. Dear oh dear oh dear!...

He'll do. Let's face it the captain's job is fairly inconsequential on the pitch, especially in a first team. It's not as organisational as in, say, cricket is it.

Bit odd that it's a winger though.

Nice idea, but who's going to pay £2-3M for their name on our stadium? And is that for a year, 5 years, 10 years, forever?

Get a grip.

You might get someone to pay 500k tops for a couple of years!

How much is the shirt sponsorship worth?

Have there been any owners of clubs who have made a profit from a club? I know some owners "buy" clubs for a nominal fee, but they agree to take on the debts (like the last Pompey owner, Bates at Leeds etc). I guess some must at least get their money back. But it's hardly a sound investmen...

You can play with the numbers as much as you like. The bottom line is Mr Mad isn't going to spend more than he has to. He never has unless he can see a clear and tangible invesment (ie Academy, Stadium, Hotel etc). To be fair he's been consistent and open about it. He's no Abramovich, or rich Sheik ...

Hang on, with all the focus on players leaving etc, what happens if we lose the manager? (It's no less likely surely?). He's young(ish), thoughtful, (reasonably) successful and fairly media savvy. Someone might take a punt on him (Fulham, Villa, etc?), although he is still reasonably inexperienced a...

Unless we've worked some sort of miracle, Morrison is NOT a pacey defender (my source is Swindon ST holder, who was still gutted to see him leave though).

Hate to say it, but McAnuff played his best football under Rodgers. But I would also say that he played better with Bertand rather than Harte.

Sorry, Sonks was a shadow of his former self after his injury. No thanks.

The lack of pace at the back is scary and probably the one thing that stops our defence from being the best in the championship (I think we're a bit harsh on our defence). Don't expect Morrison to provide any either (I work with a Swindon ST and he equates Morrison and Pearce as pretty much the same...

Coz up until March, no-one (and be honest!) really expected anything other than mid-table obscurity (especially after Gylfi was sold). Plus the pressure is on the other side, coz they've all been there or there abouts all season and are pretty much expected to win. Oh and whatever happens, we laugh ...

I don't really fear or fancy anyone other than ourselves. All the teams in the play-offs are beatable, but only if we get it right on the day (no silly mistakes and take the chances when they come). I think all the games be resolved with 1 goal in it and be low scoring (ok, they'll all be multi-goal...

Why are they holding the hearing now? Seems a bit bizarre if they wanted to affect this seasons outcome. I can't believe they'll hit them with a points deduction for this season. If anything, (as someone else mentioned) it will be next season (10 points probably). QPR are bound to appeal, so if they...
