It was above the ball, hit the defender on or above the ankle and was in front of the linesman. If you want to blame someone, blame the linesman as he made the recommendation to the ref Actually, if you want to blame someone, blame Kitson for a crude and irresponsible challenge that gave Styles (an...

Look, I am happy to give my opinions on what I see at the time, if that changes then sobeit. I would never get on someone's back after 1 or 2 indifferent performances, but week after week and yes, I'll speak my mind rather than falling back on the fact that Coppell cannot possibly do wrong because ...

Before the season started I said I thought after a year of being under SC he could well come good, and it maybe a little early to give up just yet but the guy did my head in today. I know when we were in the 3rd & 4th divisions wingers were supposed to be inconsistent, you never knew whether th...

Chelsea for me - I still feel cheated out of a point. I'd also like to see somebody ram a corner flag right down Mourinho's gullet, but that doesn't have to happen at the match... Do you not think this was somewhat balanced out by our lucky point care of a CashLOLey OG at the Bridge on Boxing Day? ...

From The Fiver: QUOTE OF THE DAY "It is not an injury that should be ridiculed or made light of" - Reading manager Steve Coppell struggles to keep a straight face while explaining that tranquil penalty expert Leroy Lita suffered a serious nerve knack while he was in bed. See - I told you ...

Sounds potentially bad, may be a disc problem in his back causing pressure on his sciatic nerve. Hope not. This may be true because it is just something innocent which would cause the disc to go, but Leroy would have to have taken a substatial knock on the back for this to occur at such a young age...

Wantage Royal Born Whitley estate, Reading - moved to Tilehurst aged 2 and stayed there till 1985 and moved to Wantage. Recently moved to a small village called Longcot, still in Oxfordshire but only 9 miles from Swindon.

That's Shrivenham country !!

And to answer your question directly I think a player would be crazy to sign for West Ham as they could be in a lot of trouble over Tevez. I'd steer clear of signingf or them, Pompey or Newcastle at the moment if I fancied a long career. Actually, I've thought a lot about that,and I think signing f...

Whistle I do count! RBH was the wrong side of town for the true blue and whites - until obviously they closed the Battle Maternoty Unit.

I think that was rather my point .
Only those born within the sound of the roar from Elm Park can really count

Katie Marsden You're only a proper Reading if you were born IN the Royal Berks.

The rest of you are glory hunting out of towners.

That means that anyone born when there was a maternity unit at Battle hospital doesn't count - even though it's closer to the town centre.

"Crystal Palace have just completed the signing of Tomasz Radzinski from Fulham for £8 million pounds" I know prices have gone crazy, but £8m for a free agent is a bit steep. :lol: :lol: :lol: And the best yet : "I work currently at the Stamford bridge shop and have been told from m...

I can't help when I see that someone has seen a players AGENT and that's the ketchup for the rumour.

I wouldn't recognise an agent if he was sat in my dinner (although I would probably want him to move).

Volvicanus Who were the other Prem club that wanted him?

Everton have been quoted in the press, not that that's anything to rely on.

The Cube I'm a bit puzzled as to why this thread contains pictures of a German ship?

Pedantry killed the cat.

Was HMS Coventry German built ? No wonder they lost the war if they sold us the good ones and kept the rubbish for themselves.

Barry the bird boggler Wonder if we'll buy any of these Argentines?

Buy or loan ?

Could offer them a company car, I guess. A Kia

That's a bit early in the season for a relegation decider

Steve Coppell will this week complete the signing of Emerse Fae , and will immediately follow that up with the double capture of Charlton right back Luke Young and former Charlton loanee Zheng Zhi , who enjoyed a very successful loan towards the back end of last season, although his performances we...
