Re: New GK

I think the club are of the mind that CBC will get snapped up by a bigger club, so in the meantime we have Button and Bouzanis as senior, experienced 'keepers. Jokull going out on loan will hopefully mean he can come back with a view to being number 1, assuming CBC has been sold and one of the senio...

Do you have to stand at one end of the garden and launch aimless hoofs (hooves? hoovi?) in his general direction?

Re: Rumour - Theo Walcott

Not sure I'd believe you assign boots to a player given Ehib changed his boots at half time on Saturday, first half they were dayglo yellow, second half they were white. It's not so much assigning boots to a player - someone has just gone: "Hmmm - we don't have a #22 but there are 4 sets of bo...

Re: Tyler Bindon confirmed

Looked OK in the friendlies, lots to work on but he's a youngster with a good attitude and we need to be looking to sign players like that. I'd expect him to be going between the 23s and the first team squad, and will be involved in the cup games.

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

If it was just plain hoops I'd like it a lot more. We just don't have a very impressive skyline in Reading unfortunately. I do prefer the solid back, I know it's for EFL regulations but it is much easier to pick out numbers on a plain back like that. Would rather white socks too but don't really ca...

Re: Mbengue Confimred

Pepe the Horseman Guys, please, this is serious.


I saw Tmac talk about it. Someone said 'cheers' when they were on tour or something and Amadou got confused, thought they'd said 'cheese', then like all these kinds of nicknames it just went from there.

I hope you can rest easy now.

Re: Sam Smith confimred

I'm happy with Smith. As people say, had to go away to learn his trade and he's come back a better player, and certainly one of the better strikers in League One. On a free it's a no-brainer, and crucially he will feel as though he has something to prove to the club which could be a good motivating ...

Re: Delé

Not defending brogue's attitude towards this in any way and I am bemused by his attitude towards mental health in general, but one of his kids does have a serious, life affecting issue. Dealing with that 24/7, especially given the amount of (or lack of) support out there, I can understand his minds...

Let’s just say that if he were still playing in the prem, playing for a top team banging in the goals I doubt this story* would have come out Perhaps the lifelong trauma caught up with him and he felt like it was the time to share it, so maybe others may feel like they can come forward and get the ...

Matt Miazga makes the MLS All Star roster. They face Arsenal on July 19th. I liked Miazga. Fair play to him for doing well in the States, The MLS is rapidly improving as well so I think it's a good time to be there. Pretty sure Jonathan Bond plays for one of the LA clubs now as well.

Re: George Puscas leaving?

I still think we missed a trick with Puscas. The flashes of his talent we saw were enough to show there was a good player in there, but we never played enough to his strengths to get the best out of him. Hope he does well back in Italy. Always thought it was iroinic that the last game he played for...

Re: Speculation: Gylfi

The court of public opinion will deem almost any high-profile player that gets an accusation like this thrown at them, to be guilty. From there, regardless of the outcome of an investigation, it's a very difficult path to playing normally again. Without knowing any of the facts of Gylfi's case, it i...
