I was pleasantly surprised how many people on here are planning to vote for the iceman. He gets my vote but I thought he may lose out on the punters because of a lack of glamour appeal. His sheer consistency is amazing. I think he has as much to do with our success this season as anyone. The fact th...

One of my best friends is, quite literally, gay and I find I neither say things offensive or deliberately inoffensive to him. Put bluntly I couldn't give a flyer what he does in bed. That's why people like the weatherman are so essentially weird, because for some reason they think it's their business.

I think Kits is perfectly entitled to say what he says, presuming he was quizzed on his opinion rather than just decided to slag someone off without any prompting.. It makes perfectly reasonable sense. To be honest I cannot believe that anyone would read a ghost written autobiography by Frank 'rumou...

To be honest if my name was Ulysses de la Cruz I would be so godamn chuffed with myself for having such a cool name that I would never do a day's work in my life.

I'm sure the Reading Evening Post are dying to hear my views. Are we allowed to imitate Hillary Scott and will the Weatherman be allowed to submit a hilarious anti-French semi-literate diatribe?

I thought the reason Royal Rother made the Lambert/Friday link was pretty self-explanatory. They were both astonishing talents who underachieved. That's all. As for whether Friday would have made the current team, the answer is, if he was managed properly by Coppell (who I think would have been a gr...

I was lucky enough to see Friday play on a few occasions although I never saw the Tranmere goal and I would only have been around seven or eight at the time. But I can remember that his presence was awesome. My Dad and brother (both older than me, particularly my Dad) say he was the best talent they...

When we were a lower division side my attitude was very much 'I can handle the despair, it's the hope I can't stand'. Going to watch Reading in the Burns, Bullivant and the Branfoot eras (in spite of a modicum of success with the latter) could be truly agonising. There were times we were atrocious b...
