Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

Was it Peterborough we played a couple of years ago where a storm was also raging? Remember it being on TV and being really, really windy?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

Going down the route of pretending this match doesn't exist and just checking the result at some point after. Never a good place for us to go. Remember going there from uni on a midweek night in 2011/12 after we went on a run of P10 W9 D1 L0, with them almost relegated. Only for us to get pumped 3-...

Re: Bindon to be sold

Would be gutted to lose him, but yeah if it's going to be £9m - you can't turn that down.

Ideal situation would be for him to come back on loan for the rest of the season, but I guess we'll just see what happens.

I think that could be the kit for Argentina for the rest of all time and no one would complain at all.

Re: Players on international duty

Orion1871 Bindon scores his first goal for New Zealand.


Not how I imagined him scoring his goal. Assumed it would've been a header from a set-piece.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

From Despair To Where? Calling anyone tinpot is bullshit, in my opinion. Different clubs have different trajectories and just because your club only averages 4,000 or play in a 6,000 capacity stadium, doesn't mean the fans care less about their club.

Holmes - sent off last game and mainly benched McIntyre - has played consistently but Portsmouth bottom Meite - still gets game time but a horrible goal/assists records since he left us Rinomhota - car...

Re: Your worst 11 since supporting RFC?

No. He was a shit signing but I can forgive him everything for that one night he absolutely rinsed Leeds at Elland Rd. 'greed. Entertaining, obvious "quality", and enough good performances to comfortably be above Brooker or Popa or Aluko. Obviously he was grossly overpaid, unfit, and larg...

Re: BBC Berks Reading FC Podcast interviews

Very late to these. Found the Shaka one and really enjoyed it so now working my way backwards. Jobi and Jose were good, but I found the one with Harps fascinating - clearly very grounded and just a regular guy who loved playing football. Next up for me in my backwards timeline is Ron Grant.

Adrian Durham on the Talksport website has the SCL Stadium 24th out of 24 in League One in his review of the 92 PL and EFL grounds.
