I can't believe someone said that McDermott was a top player at Arsenal, he hardly played did he? As for doing a good job with the Reserves meaning anything, that's laughable. All the Reserves is about is getting players out on the pitch and helping individuals progress, develop and get fit. It's n...

We take marks out of 10 awarded to Premier League players from a selection of six national newspapers - The Sun, Daily Star, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, The Times and The Guardian - then create an average. The top player in each position is rewarded with a spot in our team of the year for 2009. The t...

Interview with Madejski, now on OS http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~1908477,00.html No argument about money,no big fall-out and the board decided,not the chairman so John is still a nice guy (just like Brendan as he said over and over again). This board of ours-can anyone believe...

Shay Given used to go out with my cousin What's his name your cousin? Oops there's me thinking that more than two of the current Irish squad are gay. As for which one is better I think Given is now better in the post-Hunt period as he nearly always seems to be in the right place at the right time a...

I am just amazed that people are amazed. With a £2million player not getting a game,nor our strange right-back (a defender who doesn't know how to tackle) nor a loan player from Celtic AND 4th from bottom-the board was bound to ask questions. Also why do people think Rasiak and McAnuff won't play f...

That's interesting because all the neutral pundits on the radio today (including Graham Poll but I'm not sure about his credibility)called it as a stonewall penalty. ...sorry - think I'm mis-reading that - when it comes to the almighty, whiter than white and squeakey clean Stevie G. there is no suc...

Nice fella but a joke decision.
Incidentally this good sportsman(?) was haranguing the ref on Saturday to book a Villa player-I thought it was only non-Brits that did that sort of thing just like their diving.......oh.

I wonder how different yesterday's game would have been if the media hadn't been going on about Gerrard being a diver all week. Webb would surely then have given the stonewall penalty wouldn't he? He knocked the ball past Gallas and was falling before he even reached him - he made contact only cos ...

I wonder what our manager would have said if Dellor had been more pointed in saying:- "In the light of Barnsley,Plymouth,Sheff Wed and Peterboro having sacked their managers already this season because of where they are in the league do you think you are on borrowed time?" No doubt he woul...

Did any of those strikers score today?

TheMaraudingDog United's reserves cruise past England's third best team.

Man utd's combination of first-teamers and reserves lose their 4th league game of the season-surely this squad won't be good enough to win either of the two top prizes this season will it?

Why do people keep coming on here and saying that we should have won something or other be that 4,5 or 6 to NIL. Scunthorpe scored a goal and had two other gilt-edged chances so the idea of NIL is clearly stupid. Can't you see that our defensive five is very shaky in every game and as we all know te...

As one of the East standers that Woodcote sweepingly regards as having no idea about the game (BTW aren't the chairman,the manager,the coaching staff and Tim Dellor amongst you lot on the expensive side Woodcote? What a motley crew)I thought that we came closest to winning the game but really if you...

Won't necessarily make a great deal of difference but Scunthorpe's first choice keeper, Joe Murphy, is suspended for the match on Saturday as he has somehow managed to pick up five yellow cards as well as a red so far this season. He was carried off last weekend after lengthy treatment and Lillis c...

I think this debate highlights why IMHO we are really a long way from being 3rd favourites for the competition. We hardly have a keeper worth considering. Our full-backs aren't great defensively. We have one sound and generally fit centre-back. We have some decent midfielders We don't have much up f...

No Fixed Abode Not seeded in the Europa LOLeague now either.

Love for them to get Benfica or Juventus

We all know they wont because life isn't that kind. Would be very funny if it happened though

I hope they do draw somebody like that rather than Fulham or Everton.

What gets me is that we aren't playing the youngsters. If that is our future then play them ffs. Last Tuesday just ONE of the much-vaunted younger players started the game. What fans find difficult to take is the constant failure of many of the older players-they are not very good. BTW our "you...

A few comments. Here we are back to getting thrashed at home by Palace (6-1 gave everybody the same feeling of despair as last night did) so since the Elm Park days we have really gone nowhere ON the pitch. Where were the energetic youngsters in the side that have come through the Academy as the be...
