I always hoped he might leave and join Basingstoke Town. When Ernie Howe was the Manager at Basingstoke, he did a weekly comment in the Gazette called "Howes That?" It was a fantastic pun and one I miss badly and even though when Frank Gray took charge, we were treated to the "Being F...

I am reliably informed by their leader, Elvis Pike, that they are indeed a firm who recruit annually at the treacle fair!

The adverts convincing me to date hot Russian women are getting more tempting the longer this game goes on...

The post on the official site was one the most beautifully crafted pieces of writing I have seen on a football website. An informative piece that had the reader losing all self control before sobbing uncontrollably on all fours outside the ticket office, demanding the the return of this maverick sho...

Any offers on Ooh Jamie Lambert...Starred in a televised FA Cup game against Birmingham around about 1992 was linked with Monaco then oblivion...I thought he was the next Gazza

If we get in the play-offs, surely it will be as one of the most non-descript teams ever witnessed; every time I go to a game I feel like I am watching something that barely resembles a game of football; it like watching an impostors 11. The Championship, probably because the financial state of mos...

Wayne W*nklyn runs a Kindegarten for fledgling w*nkers, it called W*nklyns.

Norfolk Royal Leon Trotsky.

If I'm not mistaken, he got an ice pick that made his ears burn...Though I am not certain what happened to dear old Lenny, the great Elmyra, and Sancho Panza?

Am I in a minority in having mixed feelings about the ban being overturned? I think we are all agreed that we need at least 1 CN who is comfortable on the ball, has acceleration, and can read the game. With all due respect to AP, he is deficient in at least 2 of these 3 attributes. Whereas Michael ...

Oh God...Does that he will be playing on Sunday..Deserved three match ban for the eight minutes he was on the pitch, he looks a catastrophe about to happen at the moment.

I know for a fact that SJM needed cash to bail out Sackville Properties, otherwise it was going into administration. So he took the cash available from AZ at the time. I think he probably did have some concerns through his DD which is why he only sold a 51% stake, and didn't sell the hotel either. ...

SJM has cocked up here, he was expecting takeover to happen well in time for funds to be made available and thus broadcast this to the fans. I still do not see why he can't put his money where is mouth is and front a spending spree and get new owners to pay it back as part of the takeover. Gives us...

And which team ended up in the PL far better suited for survival there? I'll give you a clue, they are still there whereas the team that played 'The Reading Way' and got to the PL on workrate, commitment, team spirit etc. came straight back down. I'll give you a clue.....they sacked Adkins to achie...

No Fixed Abode Steve Kean

Hi Keanie, didn't know you posted on here?

This is a major love in for SJM and as with politics, history is in danger of being re-written. It is beyond doubt that SJM has done a lot of good for Reading but it has often been for self-serving purposes; being a Chairman of a football club is great for self promotion. There have been many public...

Simply where would we be if he hadn't come and saved us ? self admitted not a football man originally, he has been outstanding in his commitment to the club, not always popular with some of the decisions he took, I think if we had a statue of him outside the Stadium, his name plate should read &quo...

Southampton are owned by a massive trust fund set up in the will of their formal owner. They were therefore able to subsidise a far higher level of operational losses both in the championship and premiership. They were never, 'on our level' - even when we beat them to the the title with one of the ...

I couldn't agree more with the OP. 18 months ago we were pipping Southampton to the Championship. Forward to November 2013, Saints are deservedly sat third in the Premiership with a flowing and attacking brand of football that has lit up the league. We are, remarkably, 6th in the Championship, play...
