Matejovsky in the Metro today

[purleyroyal]

that's the newspaper not the car - because he's pictured proudly in front of his Skoda Octavia Estate.

Guess there's lots of jokes to be made but fair play to the guy (described as our star midfielder by James Day, who's obviously a fan - reading this? - because he interviewed Marek 'on a recent visit to my football team's training ground'). It is a Czech car after all, the firm sponsors his old team and his wife worked for the factory.

As Marek says, ' It's not a very expensive car but it's a good car. Footballers don't seem to make very good drivers, they are always caught speeding or involved in accidents, this is much less likely to happen in a Skoda. It's also perfect if you don't want to be noticed.'

Enjoyed reading it and was a good insight into Marek.

No wonder he's not been selected by McD recently then ....

Marek's choice of car pretty much mirrors his own performance in a reading shirt

Why have they kidnapped a Yorkshire midget?

[Matt de K]

In all honesty Skodas are pretty good cars now-a-days.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Skodas these days are a far cry from what first appeared over here 30 years ago. Good value and under-rated cars in my opinion.

[loyalroyal4life]

they must be ok if he has a girl like that on his arm

[fester_royal]

thatll be the closest Marek ever gets to the Mad stad again..unless its to pick up a p45... sorry Marek, but you just never fit in with our band of misfits and poor passers

Ferkin brilliant. Certainly made me laugh (out loud).

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

I know things aint worked out for him here, but I love Marek.

Just like Bryn and Ivar he comes across as so down to earth, appreciates everything he has had.

Don't expect him to be here after the summer, but certainly hope he goes on the better things.

The whole hooker story obviously makes him even more of a legend!!

Both ignorant comments unless you are referring to great reliability, quality, performance and value for money.

I reckon independent experts would say the same about the car and the player.

Few take the p out of my Octavia vRS when they see the spec and how it performs!

[The Cap]

So Marek's lad and t'others are back in our division next season then. Magic.

[Ryn]

Skodas? Volkswagens? Audis? Seats? All made out of the same bits. Skodas are just cheaper as they are made in the Czech Republic.

Shame Marek will be off this summer really, I quite like the bloke.

[brendywendy]

agreed throroughly likeabl cvhap, with more than average footballing ability
just never quite made it here - best for all if he goes i imagine, wouldnt be upset if he stayed

Eh? Where do you get that from?

Err how is £1.5mil value for money on an inconsistent midfielder, who has never managed to hold down a place in the team. Can't really think of one game where hes bossed the midfield. For all his 'great passing ability' what impact has he really had since hes been here?

Another expensive flop im afraid.

(He is a likeable bloke though!)

[fester_royal]

most have tagged marek to be the first out this summer sadly, a luxery player we cant afford, be good in a winning free flowing prem team but sadly not in a championship dog fight.

Blimey brendy that's like one of those captions they ask you to complete, to see if you're under the influence when registering.
