Given our home record I suppose not losing to the soon to be champions is a plus?

I presume Jake Taylor has not got a Reading future?

At least Hart was on the pitch to be able to do that, unlike Bridge this season (mostly)

To be honest I still fail to see why we got Bridge when Hart gave more to our all round game in terms of set pieces etc.

Royal Ginger Didn't Reading marginally lose out to Chelmsford or Colchester or somewhere similar in an application to be a City for the Diamond Jubilee?

I mean Chelmsford, really..... Something very bent somewhere for Reading to keep failing if you me.

Bracknell are on a run of something like eight wins from nine with their only defeat being v bottom club Abingdon. An amazing turn around from a club just about holding their own above the relegation trapdoor. Wonder what's changed there recently.

Not so much the injuries but more the fact that a large number of them seem to have happened in training which is alarming and is perhaps something within control of the management.

Any sign of this saga ever ending yet?

If only you could...

Hoping Atletico can win the whole thing. Be nice to have a lesser name on the cup.

So if UEFA can say that then why can't the Premier League? Because the top clubs run the PL.... Personally I think that the loan system as it stands currently should be scrapped. It should be set so that only players who are UNDER 21 on 1st July each year can be loaned during a season except in the...

Rather Greece winning it than the same old teams yet again. Still think Brazil will take some dislodging on their own patch though. Dark horses for me are the Dutch

USA_Loyal_Royal watch rooney get the golden boot after you lot say how shit he is.

Seeing as we're likely to only be playing 3 games at this years finals, that would be quite some achievement

My first ST back in the early 80s cost about 40 quid and you got a free league cup game thrown in. Compared to the crap we've had at home this year I think I'd prefer the football I was getting in the early 80s...

Sanguine Tbh, and whilst I accept that the majority don't want to see this change - that only 2,500 bothered to vote no is pretty pathetic.

Agreed

Sounds like Hull fans are the new Reading....

Silver Fox Rooney was playing hurt last night wasn't he?

Yes, cortazone injections to enable him to turn out. Would suggest he should not have played, last thing we need is yet another saga of injuries for the World Cup.

No Fixed Abode I heard it was rejected mainly due to 'tradition'.

Tradition didn't stop the FA tearing down the Wembley Towers........

Or all seater stadia

But how many of those in the Academy could cut it at Championship first team level now? Bet there's no-one.

Quite 90's looking woudn't you say?

Quite appropriate then as wasn't it in the 90s that Arsenal last won a trophy....
