The Rant Thread

[Ian Royal]

Gunnarsson is one of our most talented players. Sadly his aging body is no longer capable of allowing him to show it. Thus he needs to be dropped and only used as a back up sub.

Not sure your first two sentences follow but I agree with your conclusion!

He has done his shift


Still in with M Brooks twaddle

[M Brook]

If he's 'done his shift' why is he still getting a start?

And you accuse me of 'twaddle'!

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

Why are people singling out Gunnarsson he has only played a handful of games this season and is not to blame for the mess we are in?

Selling our best assets to Premiership clubs for £12m to balance the books we were told and the appointment of Rodgers have not helped our cause hence why we are destined to be playing league 1 football next season.

He is getting a start because we are effin' desperate

and as for your "least talented" comment..........smack yourself over the back of the legs with a wet mackeral

Seriously though, if we are that desperate, then we might as well pack up, go home and take up cricket. Sure, he has turned in the occasional good performance but 9 times out of 10 he is embarassingly poor.

and some could say the same of Matejovski


....and both would be totally innaccurate


"least talented".??????? retract or justify

[M Brook]

The one performance in ten that is acceptable is down to hard graft rather than any inherent talent.

Then in your 35+ years of watching Reading (more importantly, the last ten) you have been truely spoilt M.

[M Brook]

I admit I have been wonderfully spoilt over the past 6 or 7 years but not for the past 2!

[jeff4066]

So the bottom three this season will be Peterborough Plymouth and Reading.

Just got back from Plymouth today and just when you think it wont get any worse it does. That was the most clueless display ive seen for along time,lumping the ball up to the two gaelic dwarfs hoping they might win a header was a joke. We need at least four new players in January to give ourselves a chance, A decent goalkeeper, a decent center back and a decent striker.

The defence have lost all confidence in Federici they look to kick it out for a throw rather than risk a pass back, Pearce couldnt trap a bag of cement, Mcanuff has gone invisible in the last few games and none of our strikers apart from Church look any good.

Brynjar being part of those halycon days........please justify him being the LEAST TALENTED in recent years comment

If I recall, I am sure that there were plenty to take that crown from him M Brook


g'arn, you know you want to

[Barry the bird boggler]

That piece of cloth is getting smaller and smaller and according to Hammond its being trimmed again, QUESTION? Who in fcuks name would want to be the next Manager of this Club?? with 2 and 6 for transfers

At this rate we're going to end up paying clubs to take most of our players!

Happily do that if it meant getting rid of Kebe

[Royal Lady]

I'd rather have 11 Bryn's in the team (the way he played against Swansea) than some of the playes we currently have, who appear not to care.

[No Fixed Abode]

Relegation beckons unless you get a decent manager and make a few january signings.

[SteveRoyal]

What we really need are players who hustle and bustle over 90 minutes to fight for the club.
In my mind, that's Tabb, Karacan, Sigurdsson, Church.

The others don't seem to give a damn where we are at the moment - I'm hoping today's result is THE corner, and we fight back from this spot we're in to get a respectable result in our next 4 games.

More than likely, however, is we drop further and further down until a new face comes in and shakes up the squad.

bang on! those players all give maximum effort! i would suggest hal robson and getting james henry back from millwall would help. local lads will NOT want to see their team go down!!!

[royal_cornwall]

All i want to say is,

If Mills is a worse player than Pearce we are in deep doggy do do's
