Re: NO LONGER A RUMOUR - Doyle to Wolves for £6.5m

I certainly think it was time for Doyle to move on and reckon it was very good business for RFC. Whether Wolves is the right club to go to only time will tell but for regular first team football it would appear to be a good move. I wonder if despite the lure of a new manager deep down he wanted to g...

Re: Reading Reserves crowned Champions!

For me the change of division is good I look forward to seeing any other hobnobber at St.James's park next season.
I haven't been to a reserves game since the early sixties when a good gate was about a thousand people.

Re: Dan Harding

I thought he did pretty well in the games I saw him play and it couldn,t have been very easy for him having played so little since his loan signing in January.
And if he was signed how much better would he be with a full pre-season behind him.????

Re: The Blame Poll

I wanted to put a half each in the Coppell and player boxes but had to settle for the former, because at the end of the day it all goes back to the manager the one person who makes the most decisions and let's face it he a lot of crap ones this season. Not forgetting the second half of last season. ...

Re: Coppell has gone

We certainly have a great deal to thank Coppell for and at this stage he has been easily the best manager we have ever had, but let's face it he did not have much to better. Both Mcghie and Pardew got us into the second tier and I always thought that in the season the latter left after 7 games we lo...

Re: BIKEY YOU TWAT!

I certainly hope he never plays for Reading again and surely it will be a surprise if he does. A new m,anagwer is not going to want him and even if in the worst nightmare Coppell stays surely he would never play him again. Todays events were just another stage in the demise of Reading since Boxing D...

Re: Predictions: vs Brum & Palace v Sheff Utd

2-O To Reading. I don't care who scores. The biggest thing we have in our favour is that both Sheff. Utd. and Brum are going to be very nervous. They both have to win not being able to just play for a draw. Whereas we should be able to just go out and play our natural game and enjoy ourselves and of...

Re: The Final Countdown

As we approach the final games of the season you hope that we might suddenly play half decently again. Since we went off colour on Boxing Day other than Watford we have not had a really good result( not even Wolves) in 17 games and our home form is dire. This latter part of the season the side has b...

Re: On this day, 14 years ago....

I have always considered in over 50 years that Swindon have been our main rivals the, team we wanted to beat most. What you have to remember is that Oxford only joined the leaque in the early sixties so were never in the equation for many years. As for Aldershot well more often than not they wer in ...

NEWCASTLE for me. It was the third round of the F.A.Cup in 1969 and Itravelled up overnight from London arriving before dawn. On the same train were Fulham supporters going to Sunderland and they won easily Malcom McDonald getting a hat-trick I think. This caused huge cheers over the tannoy at St.Ja...

Re: Back from the game - Argyle

This was my first live game of the season having only previously seen the games on Sky. Overall I thought it was a pretty good game played on a softish pitch which didn't help matters very much.Not a lot happened in the first 20 minutes or so and then Plymouth scored out of the blue from a free kick...

Re: Forest Predictions

A Reading win 2-0 with goals from Doyle and N.Hunt
I onl;y hope it is better thann the last time we played them at The Mad. Stadium, it was a terrible game and though we won 1-0 most people did not realise Foster had scored such was the goalmouth scramble.

And certainly with our record in the play-o...
