I'm sorry, but this argument 'how many of us have been in the same situation?' simply doesn't apply in the same way to football. I've listened to a few offers this year and of course I only had myself/family in mind...but I don't have 20,000 people calling themselves my Barmy Army and spending thei...

Adkins has ooohs and arghhs. Titanic does not.

3-2. last win until August.

............Can Fedders hack it?

Hoops to big. Lost the white shorts and stockings.....again.
I am in the not buying camp.

Being too good to go down....

To be honest our main rivals currently are those clubs who we've been regularly playing over recent years from this area which currently means Watford. Regional rivals are Aldershot, Oxford, Swindon and Wycombe Historical rival is Aldershot Portsmouth, Southampton, QPR, Brentford, Chelsea, Fulham a...

I do not consider myself particularly long in the tooth, out of date or living in past. You cannot follow, watch or even have a mild soft spot for them, or the other lot in Wiltshire. I am frankly, shocked.

I counted 28 at Darlo in about 1991 ish. Tuesday night. Snowing. Maskell hatrick. The other goal in our 2-4 win was a 50 yard O.G. Happy days.

Why don't we sign Baldock? It will be almost as irritating as seeing McKail-Smith go to Brighton if Baldock goes to Watford (or similar). Come to Reading Sam - you will definately play every week!

Fair f uc ks to a man who was utter dross when he first joined, and is the only footballer I've ever seen kick himself in the head. Looking forward to seeing him get a decent run in the team. Agreed. Dross when he arrived, better now. Although when I played Sunday football, most improved player was...

The deal is done. If you sign up for text alerts, watch your 'phones, assuming medical goes well.
Hopefully get another defender as well!!

Pearce already seems a lot more solid at the back - never mind scoring a goal or two - than he ever was. So maybe Mills is having a good effect on him already. Come come. Pearce is a carthorse. Mills is a good old fashioned "clear your lines" defender and is a good choice of captain with ...

What has Federici done wrong? A good season last year and made a number of saves so far this season that have kept us in games. 'greed. One mistake and people are on his back but 2 saves that have pretty much made up for it and they still aren't happy. Its not one mistake though, is it? He regularl...

Paul Jewell.

This is what I said on the BR thread last night before Platypuss deleted it. :lol: Seems a bit daft to get rid of BR when consolidation this season was the only realistic goal There is no way Reading were ever going to get Promotion with a squad thrown together in 5 mins. JM is a mentalist if he th...

Consistency - the great panacea. What the commentators, including the clubs own staff and players, fail to realise is that you can't just sit consistency as the simple answer. Many of the players are not good enough to compete at the top end of this division (Federici is one of them - he is a rubbis...
