Re: Today's Balding Guy Quotes

Royalee I'd agree with all of that Doyle comment aside - it's not his fault he has no service from the vacuum that is our midfield.


Hardly worked his socks off today though did he. Looked dispirited and disinterested for long spells.

Re: Coppell Out

Ive said all along the chairman is to blame - and im sticking there¬ is Coppell going to come out and openly say the chairman wont give me the money I need? That would be wholly damaging to the chairmans huge ego - so no , Coppell tows the partyline and this is where it has got him - I expect Coppe...

Re: Back from the game

I'm afraid that there are now signs that SC is really starting to lose the plot. A few weeks ago, after far too many games thrown away because of negative tactics, he finally appeared to have seen the light when he acknowledged that we are at our best when we take the game to other teams and that fr...

Re: New Kit

Will the change in sponsor mean that all this seasons kits will be obsolete? If it gives the club a chance to rip us off and bring out three kits instead of two, I'm sure they will. Here's a simple answer - don't buy it! Are we going to kick off that debate again?! People, particularly kids, like t...

Re: Naming Rights.

It's remarkable how this dislike of the egotistic money-grabbing Madejski and his appalling business acumen that's holding the club back coincided exactly with this current bad run. Quite a few were warning of the consequences before they manifested themselves in the current bad run. In addition, R...

Re: Chairman on 107 this week

Actually, I've just remembered that yesterday morning on 2ten fm he actually said that the Football Club wasn't his favourite acquisition. The John Madejski Academy in Whitley was and he's after buying up another school soon too. How many Academies = a knighthood nowadays? I suspect they are of a h...

Re: John Madjeski....

Question for you all- Should a football club actually make a profit? What i mean by this is, if Reading have reported a profit of £6 Million, why isnt that money spent on investing in the team so the books just show a break even? Surely Reading dont have profits or dividends to give out to anyone. ...

Re: Memorial Wall

Blackburn have a memorial garden too I think. Frankly the growing connection between death, memorials and football worries and saddens me. Too many minutes silence these days.

Re: Chairman on 107 this week

Modern politicians have got a lot to answer for with their practice of vetting and vetoing questions.

Pre-recorded interviews mean that the chairman can choose not to answer certain questions.

It's not worth putting our questions Mr Man at 107, as you know as well as we do, that 107 are a "club" station and nothing will be asked of Mr Madejski that might "embarrass" him. I expect Mr Madejski to wax lyrical about a bit of a blip, great bunch of lads, all desperate to s...
