Re: Announcements Today

Well something has definitely happened. We would have had the perennial press statement summarising transfer window activity by now otherwise.

Re: Announcements Today

So it'll either be: we signed three amazing players last minute - in your f*cking faces, Reading doubters. Or it'll be a defensive press statement saying how we signed our three targets early on, followed by Nigel assuring us that we have enough strikers. Which one will it be? Or, yeah, an announcem...

Re: (not yet) BFTG: Watford (H)

I don't get all the hate for Blackman. He didn't have a great second half but it wasn't the equivalent of playing with 10 men as people were suggesting on BBCRB. Agreed. But the difference in quality between him and the rest of the players is noticeable, in my opinion. He is not good enough to be i...

Re: (not yet) BFTG: Watford (H)

Great game. We played better than in the Premiership. The standard from both team was great and you would not have seen that in the second tier a few years ago. They got lucky but we should hold our heads high. Even if we don't go back up, I will enjoy this season if we continue to play that well an...

Re: Speculation - Vaz Te

Tommio £1.5 million is a bargain. Sign him up.


This exactly. The comment about him being a poor man's Nick Blackman is just plain ignorant. We are running out of time and it won't be much lost if he turns out to be a flop (which he won't).

Re: Jason Roberts has left Reading?

BTW, not only white people can be racist. It annoys me that if a white person says something about another race it can be interpreted immediately as being racist, but when a black says something about whites it goes by without a second thought. live with it. same goes for abuse welsh people, or gin...

Re: Fulham (A) Match Thread Sponsored by The Championship

The performance was better but your all getting too excited. Fulham had absouletly nothing to play for. Perhaps we will become very good but people are getting too excited over one game Were you at the game? The performance was more than 'better'. For me it was the best all season. And not true tha...

Re: QPR (H) Match Thread, sponsored by the wooden spoon

At Guthrie had a good game. I feel for QPR fans - their players blatantly don't give a flying fck. For us it was more than we're just not good enough.

American studio host made me laugh at the break - "Waiting in the wings, two proper teams - Man Utd and Arsenal".

To be fair, the last 10 mins we haven't been too bad. QPR have blatantly just given up!

Re: Worst game of the season.

On reflection and reviewing the posts here it is quite alarming just how many games you have to choose from; many for the same reasons and many other, worryingly, for different reasons. PLUS many other games that didn't even make the poll! Ironic that this will still go down in RFC's record books a...

Re: Worst game of the season.

Where's Swansea at home on Boxing Day?? That was fecking awful! So many to choose from I guess. Southampton second half at home comes next for me.

Re: New Improved Management Contenders Poll

In fantasy land, Dick Advocaat. In reality, Nigel Adkins. As for Di Canio, I'm surprised he's had so many votes. I'd be very disappointed if he got him.

Bad decision now yes. Should have been given until Christmas when we are inevitably back in the Championship.

Anyway, seeing as it has happened, Nigel Adkins please!

We bought Murts as a winger from York. When he finally stopped being injured we put him in defence.

Re: How Long Will BM Last at this rate?????

The journey is almost always more fun than when you actually get there. Apart from a few games, this season has been miserable. Based on these facts, right now I would genuinely prefer to just be back in the Championship battling for a place in the Premiership. I think we've got a good chance of win...

Really proud of the lads today. Best performance I've seen since Chelsea away and a thoroughly deserved victory. That gutsiness and tenaciousness will help match the more skilled teams we play. No one player had a bad game. Special mentions to Feds to did what he had to when it mattered, Akpan for c...
