Sad to inform the board that one of our members has left us. On Thursday evening SCIAG made the decision to take his own life. His first Reading game was aged 6 when he watched the warm up, declared it had been brilliant and could he go home now. He had a special affinity with our Academy sides and...

Snowflake Royal Good lord no. Sod that.

Fair enough, bit too sociable for you I would imagine, and not easily available on tv….

I like quality, I appreciate it's not for everyone though.

quality????

Highlights nobody around here has a clue what is actually going on at the moment. Pulled from pillar to post with a ton of machinations going on. At the end of the day RC managed Wycombe into a very useful well run unit. Meanwhile Dai and his entourage of advisors (whoever they may be) have managed...

I kinda get it though. Family and friends come and go, as do we all, but you expect your club to live on in perpetuity... it's a permanent fixture of life. And a focal point of life for some, with tens of thousands of hours and pounds invested into it. In some ways it can be more akin to a person's...

The problem is, if/when Dai screws over Platek and HE holds Dai to account, the dipshit contingent of our fans will vocally turn on him as well. I'm uncertain about how they think spreading unfounded hatred about potential buyers helps sell the club. As well as massively over simplifying what I and...

We really are in a terrible state. Even Don Goodman is feeling sorry for us. :shock: https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/25033160.reading-fc-fans-deserve-good-news--says-sky-sports-pundit/ I know Don quite well, he's a mate of guys I know, and was a regular at my local on a Sunday - you'd some...

Gents - maybe start a phoenix club thread? I keep checking in hoping for some updates and well you know.....

From Despair To Where? Kitson > Doyle> Long.


Easy to forget that for the 2 seasons before 05/06, Kitson was the one player that made us worth watching.

This.

Yep and no one is shitting on the team either It’s an honest assessment of where we are at. We’ve a batch of good-to-very-good Div1 players, a couple who could go higher, and a number who are at a stretch at this level I’ve also enjoyed watching the team last two years, far more than tbe previous 3...

This side is competitive in L1. How do we know? Because we've been competitive in L1 all season.

and, bar an early season bedding in period, we were competitive with many of the same players last season.

well quite. Now what does that tell us?

Gents. We're in League One - not competing for Championship play offs to the Premier League so let's deal with what's in front of us. This side is competitive in L1. How do we know? Because we've been competitive in L1 all season. This team is good enough to compete for promotion. Never mind if Mben...

+1. I don't think we're a top 6 League 1 side yet. I think people over estimate a lot of our better players. I'm not sure (m)any of them are good Championship players bar Bindon who is no longer ours anyway. Pereira - maybe lower Champ Yiadom - no more, I fear Mbengue - lower Champ - played there f...

Oh well.

That's also to do with on-pitch leadership. We've a talented, young side and a very thin squad. It has positives and it has negatives. It could be so much worse. Human nature though isn't it? To look at a team performing mostly well and saying, yeah well they should be doing better - even though a ...

I know we can't criticise the team because a) they're young b) Hunt is doing a great job but really this team is actually quite good but we've not played well apart from Tuesday (which was a glimpse at we what we could be) for some time now. I agree with this. Everyone is so quick to say how makesh...

Did any Reading player other than a defender win a header all game? We just looked like we got bullied off the ball too easily by a bigger and stronger team. If we'd looked a bit less knackered we might not have been so wasteful with our passing, and given them a bit more to think about. Not having...

Snowflake Royal Do you ever have anything good to say leon?

Try reading my post you weird little man.

All of you fcukers that have just agreed with Ian - wash your terrible mouths out. You should be ashamed.
