[BBC Radio Berkshire]

Dear All,

The mighty Nicky Shorey will be joining asst Royals physio Becky Brown on the Footy Phone In with Tim Dellor, Fri 6-7pm on BBC Radio Berkshire.

All questions and comments gratefully received !

[Barry the bird boggler]

Nicky

Why do the players always have their phones switched off on their days off (or do you just not like Joel and the team)?

Do you get fed up with the old Airplane joke "don't call me shorey"?

What's it like being England's no. 1 left back?

Did you used to support West Ham as a youngster, if so did you enjoy Monday's game?

Who do you prefer playing ahead of you on the left wing? Hunty or Convey?

[cheeryoleary]

Nicholas,
It's judgement day and you're standing in front of the big man trying to get into heaven. You've not had the cleanest of lives therefore do you..

a) confess your sins and pray for the best.

or

b) lie through your back teeth hoping that the big man believes you.

Might I recommend option b, as remarkably, an anagram of your name is CON HIS HOLY ARSE.

Cheers then
Cheery

Do you think you would get even more assists and goals if you were to play left wing instead of left back?

When you see Murty running along the opposite flank does it make you feel as though your looking at a reflection of yourself?

[cheeryoleary]

Nicky,

A question for the (straight) ladies of Hob Nob Anyone?

You share your birthday on February the 19th with Sexy Beast star - Ray Winstone.

Away from football, are you a Sexy Beast?

[soggy biscuit]

What shampoo do you use?

[Forbury Lion]

When you joined from Leighton Orient did you believe you and Reading FC would make it as far as the Premiership together?


Are you surprised to see players as old as Graeme Murty still cutting it at the highest level?


Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?


PS - I dropped you from my fantasy football team for the Man Utd game and forgot to stick you back in for the West Ham game, that decision cost me 15 valuable points!

Nicky

Red or blue bounties?

What's the most difficult thing about the full back position?

In what areas do you feel you can improve your game?

What was it like working with Oliver Hardy?

[M4 Junction 11]

Why can't we just have the one thread for Becky and Nicky?

[Gregster]

From your perspective of the games on the pitch, what RFC game this season would you most liked to have watched from the stands and why (obviously you would still be playing in some sort of 'clone' experiment)?

Do you practice free kicks at the end of every training session?

When the team had Adrian Chiles at a training session at the end of last season, were the team easier or harder on him?

Also, does Murty ever use the insult 'lettuce wrist' with Hahnemann when he lets a goal in?

Are you surprised at the room and time you've been given on the ball this year?

My girlfriend fancies you, please could you grow your hair longer (a la Hunty) to put her off a bit?

[ellpryjon]

sand or glass?

discuss

- A question for Shorey (for England).

What are the chances on you getting selected for the England squad to face Spain in the friendly at Old Trafford on the 7th February?

[Forbury Lion]

Why can't we just have the one thread for Becky and Nicky?

Because Tim Dellor will probably get confused and ask Becky about her chances of playing left back for England.

[Forbury Lion]

Who do you room with on away trips?


Have you ever attended a fancy dress party in a smurf outfit?

[M4 Junction 11]

- Nicky, If you were given a £2 million budget (with wages to be within the existing Reading FC wage structure) who would you sign in the transfer window?

a diplomatic response that I would will leave it to Stevie Coppell to make these kind of decisions is not allowed

[M4 Junction 11]

Who do you room with on away trips?

Follow-up question:

- Nicky, Who would you like to room with on away trips?

same question to Becky please

[weybridgewanderer]

Nicky, as a full back, when murty is injured why do you think we play a holding midfield player at full back when we have 2 recognised full backs on our books that don't even make the bench, halls and de la cruz. Halls may have been injured, whats been the problem with de la cruz? Has he found it difficult to "settle" into Berkshire.

[Forbury Lion]

If you had to miss a Reading game due to international commitments, Which players do you think the manager might consider picking to play left back?

[cheeryoleary]

Tim,
Are you a responsible drinker?
I think not, as remarkably, an anagram of you name is
