mills wants fans to be less negative

[Ferris]

Well said Matt.

[brendywendy]

clearly its finger related.
some people will just never get over that sort of heinous crime.

hes a decent player- not worth 2 million, but then he didnt set the price, or pay it.
he has it in him to be a very good championship defender, or maybe a half decent prem one if he applies himself, and imporoves.
he is outspoken, but then as a captain, you probably need that.

the actual quotes in the article are nothing worth anyones ire- yet people read it through their h8 tinged glasses and see what they want to

[facaldaqui]

he just doesnt seem to sit well with alot of fans. I have a few mates who come and watch Reading every so often and support other teams - its always interesting to hear how they see things from an outsiders view. They all dislike Mills - god knows why but they do.

Because he's a bit of a bastard. But he's our bastard, so I like him for not being liked by them.

[Gordons Cumming]

Mills added: “We’re staying in the hotel we stayed in last time.

“It was probably the best one in Liverpool and you always want to be staying in the nice places as it helps prepare you mentally and physically before the game.

Twat.

Why's he a twat for saying that?

Only the best for our Matt.

I would suggest a grotty B&B to really put them in the mood for a fight.

HTH

[brendywendy]

actually hes mentioned before that he has, many of the players do, despite McD telling them not to for their own sanity

It must be hard not to, but not advisable. The tone on here is largely negative, especially when it gets its teeth into certain people it chooses to pick on, as is starting to happen with Mills. When Harte is out, he's hate figure number one. I don't mind him myself (grumpy centre back, what's new?), and, re the present topic, he did brilliantly against Liverpool last year.

tbf nothing is quaranteed to produce a worldbeating player in the shortest possible time than HNA whingeing about them and saying their shit.

so keep it up peeps

At least he's taking on Kitsons mantle. Hopefully the 700 or so tonight will have something to shout about and have that warm glow afterwards.

[loyalroyal4life]

pretty much what he told me a couple of weeks ago along with fact he doesn't feel appreciated by Reading Fans

then perhaps he needs to work on his relationship with the fans a bit more

can't see that happening, the guy comes across with an attitude problem

[brendywendy]

comes across as having attitude in the millions of conversations youve had with him, or simply judging from the way he walks and runs about?

[muddyfeet]

tbh he's doesnt come across that well if you see him outside the club either

anyway I dont love him but I dont hate him either. I just think sometimes he doesnt seem to be captain material - mainly due to his temper outbursts - but these seemed to have calmed down recently

At least he cares and that means something

[southbank1871]

To summarise:

Mills is a bit of a dick, Reading fans on the whole are dicks.

Not much of one. He hasn't been sent off for quite a while. A slight air of petulance, in terms of attitude problems (try prisons if you want to meet people with attitude problems) is a mere peccadillo. There are worse attitude problems on this board.

[Ian Royal]

He's a cock, but he's got it right. The oxf*rd in Y26 / 25 need to stop acting like spoilt brats and get behind the team a bit better.

EDIT: LOLLY at comparing the attitudes of convicted criminals to make Mills look like he's a decent captain.

[WoodleyRoyal]

Really? no attitude problem - Do you Really want the Captain of your club shouting and balling at a young Goalkeeper making only his second appearance for the club? like i said earlier maybe he should concentrate on being less negative to his team mates before having the audacity to complain about the fans. Get your own house in order arrogant prick

who has the attitude problem again?!

LOL

[WoodleyRoyal]

I take it you didnt go to Palace then?

[Ian Royal]

Mills Brendy.

You can tell by the way he gets in officials faces all the time, clearly doesn't have enough control of his temper and throws tantrums. As well commiting frequent unnecessary and cynical fouls like kicks at the likes of Taarabt and body checking people who've made him look shit by going to run past him like he isn't there.

Please note I couldn't give a rats arse that he gave the East stand the finger a year ago.

[Rex]

So in summery - he's a cock, has attitude and bawls out the less experienced players around him without looking at his own mistakes on the pitch. He sounds perfect.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Woodley - you took the words right out of my mouth. How about Mills stop his negativity by swearing at fans & berating the keeper in front of everyone on his 2nd league start for the club?!

Can't stand the guy, hate him being captain & would love to see him sold. The guy is a hoof ball merchant yet tries to act like he's Rio Ferdinand. You ain't that good mate - Pearce & Zurab over you any day of the week.

[roadrunner]

Is this bloke the worst captain the club has ever had?

Certainly the worst player we've splashed 7 figures on. I struggle to find anything I like about the bloke too.

Mills > Fae > Halford
