Re: Alex Pearce

Well, thanks for that well thought out and well articulated post, i'm sure to give it a lot of thought. Anyway, contract squabble or not, he's still a good player that would be an asset to the team. I don't doubt that he's not on a top wage, and perhaps this is a good indication of how disparity in...

Re: Alex Pearce

i.e. he has had no offers from clubs yet so is trying to get back in the clubs good books. Jog on to be honest Pearce. Yeah, at the end of the day if he so upset with the money we're offering why doesn't he just forget about Reading and go somewhere else, and don't give me "cos he loves the cl...

Re: new royal

LOL.

As mentioned earlier in the thread a few of us have gone to Grimsby games recently as a distraction from the plight of Reading... nice to know we can be of use to each other.

I move for an unofficial fans affiliation.

Unfortunately, up until this point we have not managed to find a deal which is mutually acceptable to both parties. I am keen however, now the season has finished, to have a ...

Re: Alex Pearce

MmmMonsterMunch Personally I think Pearce is a bit of an arse not signing an extension so the club can get some kind of fee - even if it was nominal say £1-2m. The likes of Doyle, Sig, Long etc all did.

Obviously doesn't care that much about the club.


typical badge kisser.

Re: Keep, Loan, Sell or Release Survey

Define performer? He's worked hard but very, very rarely set the world on fire. Has not had nearly enough quality this season and with all our wingers fit I'd have started HRK and Kebe. That said, I voted to keep, but I understand why some didn't. Seems to me that he rarely puts in an early or firs...

Re: MCDERMOTT SACKED

This was the wrong time, the wrong place, and most importantly, the wrong way to do things. Completely classless. At least give him until the end of the season at this point. I can see this team imploding after this fiasco and spending next season trying to avoid the drop...in the Championship. As ...

Re: MCDERMOTT SACKED

Sad sad day for the club as we lose an excellent servant. In complete shock. However, the relationship between Brian and the fans was becoming increasingly strained and perhaps it will be better for all concerned that we have a clean break-up before things get too ugly. Something needed to change w...

Re: MCDERMOTT SACKED

First of all - thanks Brian for getting us to the Premier League with not a lot of management experience. That in itself was a miracle. But to be honest just as fans bemoan the manager for being too loyal to certain players perhaps the owner also should not be too loyal to his manager. At the end of...

Re: 25 man PL squad rules for January.

So the upside of not signing Gylfi is that Jay Tabb gets to be in the squad for the rest of the season.

I suppose that's some consolation!

Can we also get rid of all the fans who only woke up and starting supporting the team after 80 minutes? Then we'll have a home attendance in the region of zero next game.
