double d Wasted 45 minutes of my life there. Left at ht. Chucked my st away somewhere in a bush. I do not see myself ever going back. I will get a Crawley st next year when I move.

Please do.

I'd support Reading even if they were in the Bostik League.

After the improved performance in the later stages at Boro and the performance at Forest, I see us as improving--so I'm predicting a win for Reading.

Reading 2 Derby 1.

I know how you feel about Gunter, and I've defended him in the past, but not tonite. With 5 mins left in a game like that, you keep everything in front of you, and you make them beat you. 1-0 up, away, you know your team has conceded a lot of late goals. He's a veteran pro, yet it was a school boy ...

Aluko, pound for pound, must rank as one of the worst signings ever made by Reading. Don't get me wrong he has talent, he can beat players and I shall support him every time he's on the pitch but overall his end product is at best inconsistent and there is this continual tendency to always drift an...

paddy20 Its a shame this thread is not left to those who actually went. I read it for a hands on view but it seems to have been taken over be those that weren't there.

The people who went are more positive than the people who didn't. The first half, we were proper decent, I tell no lie. Fuel for optimism.

I thought this was a much improved performance in the first half and that a draw was a good result for us here. This performance, added to the fightback at Boro, suggests to me we can now improve our home form and stay up. Massively enjoyed the first half, with us playing the better football and the...

Gooding's been calling him Grabb'em all match, and now he's called him Brabham.

What's the story
Tiago Ilori?

(For the younger of us, Jackanory song)

At last we have signed a confirmed player. Most of the confimreds have been rubbish.

I have not been in favour of any of the sackings of our managers in the post-Coppell era, though I felt relieved when both Rodgers and Adkins went. You have to give a manager time, but that is doubly the case with a novice manager like Stam. He will have to learn on the job, and so, if he is to prov...

Whether, or not, he is a good player does not concern me about Norwood leaving. What is really beginning to concern me, is the fact that apparently he couldn't wait to get through the door and go to a club also in the Championship. With Ollie, Tish and Robson-Kanu (all told by JS that he didn't wan...

Crock.

I don't know what to think. The ability to be excited by signings has been knocked out of me. Remember when Williams , Bridge, and Drenthe got signed? I also got excited about Sharpe, Murray, Vydra, etc., and nothing much happened. I am not negative about the season but am waiting to see how this lo...

When the Thais took over didn't they say that his Madj would stay on as "honoray" Chairman for a couple of years. This timeframe must be coming to an end. I don't see the point in the title of chairman unless he is at least privy to decisions. A chairman who does not know what is going on...

Stam, Stam, He's our man If he can't do it, someone else will have a go by christmas time I hope not. If ever there were a type of manager that needs time it is the rookie. If Stam turns us round quickly, great. But if he doesn't, it will be in the process of learning management. Pardew was a new m...

Although I agree with Madejski, it was wrong to say it at Stam's press conference. But he is not the only one to have spoken out of turn--Howe has done too. I find Howe's remarks unnecessary and rude towards a man who had employed him for years. But it shows where the power base is. Howe is running ...

Every time a new manager comes in they (understandably) use the likes of Gunter, Norwood, McCleary, & Obita as the core of the side. This appears to make sense because they are some of our better players. But I do not think they can improve. They have been part of losing sides for years now, and...

Utterly , Utterly ridiculous. 5 months to turn round a ship that was already faltering, what did they expect. Whatever your thoughts on Brian's abilities, this actions shows Reading FC is no longer a football club to admire for at's attitude and approach. IF and it is a big IF they get a lot of suc...

Brian has done rubbish since he came back, admittedly. BUT THIS IS TOTALLY TOTALLY UNFAIR. I am revolted.
