"Aston Villa set to do battle with Portsmouth for Reading star Jamie Shorey"

LOL

There was a terrible printing error in the News of the World yesterday. Their new season supplement had Reading down to finish 1st.

Really? Wow, you wouldn't have thought it, would you.

[Very near...far away]

Just listened to 5Live's football daily podcast and its "Championship Preview" - for the most part a bunch of northern oafs talking about everyone except Reading - "Sheffield United, there's a board looking for promotion!!". An inordinate amount of time spent saying how bwave the Derby chairman was for coming on the programme and then a quick interview with Kevin Philips on how forward-looking a club Birmingham is. And how lovely it is to get another signing on fee at his age. They also admitted to being a bunch of half-arsed incompetents who are lucked out getting a job in radio when they're barely capable of stocking the shelves at Waitrose. They finished off by talking about the SPL, then "back to football" and the celebrity sleazeball that is the "Community" Shield. Then they sang the Postman Pat song.

The Australia section from a BBC article on British-based footballers at the Olympics.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/football/7541983.stm

Australia, or the "Olyroos", have four British-based players in their 18-man squad for the Olympics. Sheffield United midfielder David Carney is probably the best known, having done the rounds with Oldham, Halifax and Hamilton before grabbing the winner when the Blades beat Bolton in the FA Cup in January. Leeds midfielder Neil Kilkenny has Premier League experience, after starting at Birmingham, while Derby new boy Ruben Zadkovich and Fulham defender Adrian Leijer, a Lawrie Sanchez signing at Craven Cottage, make up their British-based contingent.

Still, at least they got the League 1 player in there.

Royals keeper Adam Federici was in superb form for Australia as they suffered a very narrow 1-0 defeat to Australia in the Olympics on Sunday.

Some games you just can't win!

You all thought it was ridiculous to have Hunt at Left back? Harper to captain Reading at Right Back apparently.

[1960]

Just a little one, but the Guardian lists the first two scorers against Luton as one scorer:
Hunt (11) (15)

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Didn't see it myself as I was at the game but apparently last night Sky had our fourth goalscorer as Jem Callaghan

[M-U-R-T-Y]

Yeah... that was odd, the presenter said just before:

"Looks like Plymouth aren't going to beat Reading, there's a fourth goal"

Yes, Plymouth.

Not our player any more, but the Indy called Seol "Ki Hyeon Seol", which is wrong.

Yep.

Family Name then Given Name in most of the orient.

Ki-Hyeon (or Ki Hyeon) is his given name.
Seol is his family name.

Therefore, it's Seol Ki-Hyeon.

[Mike Hunt]

On the OS

http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/pa ... 93,00.html

Dake Kitson, Nicky Shorey and Ibrahima Sonko have all been sold over the course of the summer, and Steve continued, "We've sold three players, three key players in our success over recent years.

I know he is not our player anymore - but surely the OS should know his name ?

Screenshot in case they see and fix it

[Archie's penalty]

Surely the thread title should be changed to Nicky Hunt or Kevin Harper now that Kitson has gone?

Forget the Harper one-he won't be here.

Or will he?
