How was your season?
Not very good, how was yours?
Happy with the gaffer?
No, not at the moment I am not happy with the gaffer due entirely to his failure to cover his posterior in the January transfer window. Don't want him to leave though.
Who were the stars?
Alpha Centauri was pretty impressive an Rigel had its moments but think Alderbaran was the stand out for me.
- and who flopped?
Everyone who wore a blue and white shirt
Top hate figure at another club?
Harry Redknapp if Portsmouh do not field a pumped up first team looking for a result on Sunday.
Top 5 best opposition players?
Roque Santa Cruz
Ronaldo
Fernando Torres
Zarate
Jimmy Bullard
Who do you want to win the Champions League? Chelsea, Man Utd, not bothered?
It is not possible for me to care less
Fabio Capello - right choice, wrong choice, not bothered?
Unknown at the moment, would prefer and English manager but until the money disappears from the Premiership we're going to be lumbered with too many players from outside the British Isles and therefore a struggling international set up.
Game 39 - good idea, bad idea, not bothered?
Bad idea and about as much chance as happening as there is of FIFA making a worthwhile law change to the game.

Answers:-
How was your season?
Having started with 4 points against Man U, Chelsea and Everton, it was like being on a beautiful scenic drive down a mountainside in the South of France, then suddenly realising that the brakes weren’t working.
Happy with the gaffer?
Happy that he will learn from his mistake not to invest in a stronger squad. His biggest strength (loyalty) has been shown to also be his greatest weakness, and he may be too honourable to want to stay in the job as a result.
Who were the stars - and who flopped?
Stars – Hahnemann – probably the most overworked keeper in the division, but made very few mistakes in the second half of the season. Hunt started well but his energy-at-the-expense-of-skill approach was exposed as the season wore on. Bikey has the energy and enthusiasm to make a difference next season, and Matejovsky the skill, so the future looks reasonably rosy.
Flops – Record signing Fae failed to make a mark, Lita’s attitude was poor early in the season, Shorey had severe concentration problems knowing that he would be leaving in the summer, and Sonko had confidence problems after being thrown back into the team too early after injury, which culminated in the end of season ban along with Fae for failing to turn out for the reserves. Shameful.
Who were the best, and worst, away fans?
Best – Fulham were noisy and humorous, possibly aided at the time by their gallows humour, as they probably thought they were down. They have the best song, in praise of Jimmy Bullard at the expense of Gerrard and Lampard.
Worst – Liverpool. You’ll Never Walk Alone? Their fans started leaving about 15 minutes from the end of their 3-1 defeat, and there were barely a couple of dozen of their fans left to sing the song at the end.
Top hate figure at another club?
We don’t do hate at Reading, do we? OK then, Kevin Nolan for his idiot grin after scoring for Bolton.
Top 5 best opposition players?
Rooney was magnificent, Bullard ran the show, Bellamy* was unmarkable, Robbie Keane was irritatingly effective and Cahill was unbeatable
*NB put Bowyer by mistake until corrected below by the Surgeon of Crowthorne.
Who do you want to win the Champions League? Chelsea, Man Utd, not bothered?
Chelsea – still have a soft spot for Sidwell despite not being able to understand how a footballer is prepared to spend a season on the bench just for the money
Fabio Capello - right choice, wrong choice, not bothered?
Good. He should instil some discipline in players who have got way above their station.
Game 39 - good idea, bad idea, not bothered?
Just plain stupid idea, but it was games 25 and 34 (2-0 defeats at home to Bolton and Fulham) that should have been banned this season.

How was your season? Ask me on sunday at 5pm, survival = success (just)
Happy with the gaffer? Made some devastating mistakes in team selection on occasions, and not spent enough during the transfer windows, but still clearly the best manager in our history so can't really complain.
Who were the stars - and who flopped? Marcus put a poor start to the season and a horrific hand injury behind him to become our most consistent performer. Bikey has shown that he has the ability to perform at this level and on international stage. Just about everybody else could be considered a flop for some stage of the season, but special mentions to Shorey, Fae and 'Player of the season' Hunt for not turning up after his new contract was signed.
Who were the best, and worst, away fans? Fulham and West Ham brought very vocal followings, although maybe they co-incided with two of the worst Reading displays I can remember. Newcastle were very quiet.
Top hate figure at another club? Easy to say anyone at Chelsea who still rolls out the Cech incident, but I will leave this position vacant depending on sunday's games.
Top 5 best opposition players? Vidic, Ronaldo, Torres (cup game only), Keane, Berbatov
Who do you want to win the Champions League? Chelsea, Man Utd, not bothered? United
Fabio Capello - right choice, wrong choice, not bothered? Proabably the right choice, but i'm not bothered.
Game 39 - good idea, bad idea, not bothered? Dreadful idea, sums up the premier league nicely though

Keeper I've been asked to give my review of the season for a national newspaper, I thought I would ask all of you the questions to see what the general consensus is so that I can represent all fans rather than just my views ?
How was your season?
An overlong succession of dull games against mediocre clubs.
Happy with the gaffer?
Not especially, but cant think of anybody who would do better with Madejski hovering over them. However his team selections for the cup are now bordering on silly.
Who were the stars - and who flopped?
Stars.
Doyle - For playing on the wing all season.
Kitson - For occasionally appearing like a human being rather than an overpaid prima donna.
Hannehmann - Looked like his career was all over at midseason - rescued it in the second half
Harper - In a continually changing team, he was an ever present
Flops
Lita - All mouth, no action
Rosenior - Little boy lost
Shorey - From excellant to diabolical in three easy months
Convey - Should be playing every week but for some reason isnt. Needs to sort out his off the field play
Who were the best, and worst, away fans?
Best - Fulham and Newcastle
Worst - Bolton
Top hate figure at another club?
For me it has to be Petr "Suit of Armour" Cech. He's STILL milking it!
Top 5 best opposition players?'
Ronaldo (Deserves to win the league)
Berbatov
Torres
Bullard (Can we please have him?)
Robbie Keane
Who do you want to win the Champions League? Chelsea, Man Utd, not bothered?
I am less than 'not bothered'
Fabio Capello - right choice, wrong choice, not bothered?
Probably the right decision.
Game 39 - good idea, bad idea, not bothered?
Its not even worth discussing.

Keeper Game 39 - good idea, bad idea, not bothered?
Still very wary for the future - although a 39th game and a lop-sided league is dead, the idea of the PL playing competitive matches overseas is very much alive, and only sleeping at the moment. The PL is currently working on a new set of proposals that they are confident will be accepted.
So be on your guard for the future - we may have won a battle but the war is still to be won!
Anyway, apologies for derailing Keeper's thread. I'll go now and won't trouble you any more (except to ask Keeper if she'll be sharing any media fee with all those who've contributed to this thread.....

Happy with the gaffer? Yes, I'm reasonably happy apart from the mistakes he's made this season, I'd hope he'll learn from them for next season.
Who were the stars - and who flopped? Nobody really stood out for me, apart from maybe Hahnemann and Kitson. I'm disappointed that Little hadn't featured much this season.

How was your season? As I expected really, Without the investment, we were always going to struggle.
Happy with the gaffer? Yes, even when we go down I would like him to stay, but I thnk he will want a break from fooball.
Who were the stars - Hahneman has been our busiest and best player this season, along with the crossbar. No others deserve a mention.
and who flopped? Lita, Doyle, Convey, Sonko, Shorey, Fae, Murty and all the player we signed in the close season and Jan.
Who were the best, and worst, away fans? Thought that Aston Villas lot were quite load, and worst were Everton
Top hate figure at another club? Don't have one
Top 5 best opposition players? Ronaldo, Adebyour, Torres, Drogba, Fabregas
Who do you want to win the Champions League? Would prefer Man Utd. They play the more entertaining football.
Fabio Capello - If he can't make the England team successful, I doubt anyone can.
Game 39 - It probably wont affect us.

First 2 weeks were awesome, a point at Old Trafford, great performance against Chelsea where we should have won and a win against Everton. 2 clean sheets too. Since then........

He's made some honest mistakes this season and is largely to blame for where we are. However I'm confident he'll learn from them whichever league we're in next season and I hope he stays in the summer.
Who were the stars - and who flopped?
First half of the season, Kitson and Hunt. Second half, Bikey, Matejovsky and Hahnemann. As for flops, Doyle, Shorey, whoever has been playing on the right all season and of course Fae. Hunt since Christmas too.
Who were the best, and worst, away fans?
I have to say the Fulham fans were great considering how dead and buried they were at the time. Just a couple of weeks before, the Blackburn fans were awful. They didn't even make noise when they were a man up.
Top hate figure at another club?
Nobody really. I was pretty wound up with Ireland for his brilliant volley, or with Gary Cahill summing up what we should have gone for in the transfer window. But that's no reason to hate somebody.
Top 5 best opposition players?
When Sunderland came Craig Gordon was immense, including his last minute save that was given as a goal. Bellamy and Etherington tore us to shreds for West Ham. You could pick practically any Arsenal player from that game at the Mad Stad. Bullard and McBride won Fulham that fateful game.
Who do you want to win the Champions League? Chelsea, Man Utd, not bothered?
Man Utd every day of the week. Better football, more English players and they grew into a top club more organically and naturally.
Fabio Capello - right choice, wrong choice, not bothered?
His teams are traditionally very boring to watch but also very hard to beat. Judging from the game against France he's half way there so far, but I'm convinced with work he can add resilience to the poor football.
Game 39 - good idea, bad idea, not bothered?
I thought it was dead. Shocking money driven idea anyhow.
