Lauren is, Laurent (French) isn't

Nice piece about our oldest fan Ciss Platten in the Grauniad today: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/16/reading-arsenal- fa-cup-semi-final She mentions how she came to dislike Arsenal back in the 1920's. This reminded me of a childhood holiday about 1970. My dad was an Arsenal fan from t...

Santa Cazorla scoring with a header. If Reading meet Liverpool in the final - who will you support? Would have thought you'd have been the first to have picked up on the predictive text switching Santi to Santa. Standards are slipping Kesward. Maybe we could get Noel Hunt back on loan to score the ...

Archie's pen at Wembley (and McAteer not being sent off) at Wembley 95. The only time I have wept after a match :( . However, we were not ready for the Prem and would have got slaughtered Another contender - Terry Bell's own goal at Villa in 71 that relegated us to 4th division for first time - took...

I and 13,000 others invest our hard earned money into the club backing our club. I expect the club to invest whatever it takes to sort our defence out.[/quote] So the great 13000 raise c6.5 million and expect this to be enough to run a club.... ...... :roll:[/quote] of course they don't you massive ...

Had forgotten about Dowd's impact that day until this was dug up, shows how much I've come to terms with that defeat yet I still can't let 1995 go without thinking how McAteer should have gone :evil:[/quote] Same[/quote] So without checking who was the barsteward in the black who got is so wrong on ...

Not really that surprising we are struggling given all the upheaval over the last 18 months. The important thing this season is to stay up and show some progress in the second half of the season. It usually takes a while for lots of new players to bed in - especially when that includes quite a few y...

LoyalRoyalFan You're an idiot.

Don't call him an idiot just because you don't understand his point.

However, what has this got to do with Jason Roberts?

TTBA I dont know whether to laugh or cry when I hear stuff like that. The problem with English football over the years has been the exact opposite of what you claim

One word says it all GUTLESS. totally inept in all departments to let fellow relegation canditates walk all over us. not a single outfield player can come out of this with any credit, 5 being the highest I will give any of them. but don`t get me started on Brians tactics, 4-5-1 in a must win game r...

If that had been given against us with 20 seconds to go in injury time, we'd be livid. It was standard issue defending. Usual muddled thinking. It was a foul so you would have had no right to be livid, except with the defender, perhaps. If that is your idea of standard issue defending I'm very glad...

Shearer and Larwo both say its a pen,Rooney at OT given 7 times out of 10 , looked clumsy, in the outfield its a foul, inside the area??? What the f*** are you talking about? A penalty is a foul commited inside the penalty area. Defender kicked Alfie , it's a pen, no brainer. Which part of 'foul' a...

I didn't know Steve Morrow ever played for Reading. Yes, he was on loan to Reading from Arsenal. I think it was the same season that he played in the League Cup final and had his collarbone broken when Tony Adams threw him to the floor in celebration. :roll: I think that was 2 seasons later Check o...

FFS Why do we keep getting linked to washed up players on crazy wages no thanks ps I would take Arshavin as he is actually world class Tbh he was world class, was being the operative word, and if he was still world class no way would he be coming here, although I'd love him to ‘Form is temporary, c...

[quote="Snowball"]Blinkered. The championship sometimes has sides like Scunthorpe, Doncaster, Peterboro and Rotherham and all bar a select few of the very best Championship players are also-rans at the bottom of the Premiership, or warm Prem benches. People on this board slag off Liverpool...

This promotion is a fantastic achievement for the club and, especially, for Brian. A team with very few stars (only one I think in Four Four Two's 50 best in Football League for what that's worth) has developed momentum, belief and, crucially, unbeatable resilience. Kebe, Cummings and plenty of othe...

At the same time, it must have been a really shite ref for Tabby to go off on one ..but the ref was absolutely horrendous. Makes you wonder if he had some kind of agenda, if he had been instructed that "it would be nice to have a welsh team up..".. ..or perhaps the FA have bias against Re...

Some merit in most of these posts but it's funny how so few ex-Reading managers (and players) really cut it after they leave us - 'The Madejski Curse' perhaps. McGhee did a fine job at Millwall but has struggled elsewhere, jury is still out on Pards. Burns was completely and utterly the wrong guy fo...

like any one actually knows how good they are, how good theyll be, or how quickly theyll improve Good point. Important to plan for the future; you win some you lose some. No doubt this has been raised here and elsewhere several times already but to anyone who hasn't done already I recommend the boo...

Snowball I LOVE it when people pretend not to read your posts

and are so neurotic that they have to keep reminding you they are ignoring you

Isn't it about time you guys removed your cranium from your rectum?
