After the lack of pace and attacking prowess we have had in the opening 4 games, I really hope this guy is as good as my imagination has made me think he is.
Defence today was superb, haven't seen us look this solid at the back for a few seasons now and the Centre back pairing fills me such confidence, that when ever a cross comes in, i'm not even slightly concerned (Almost as at ease as having Sonko & Ingimarsson 10 years ago). Bond's kicking abilit...
Much as has already been reported. An absolutely dreadful game in which we were probably he better of the two. The atmosphere on the moon above the opposite stand was better than that at the ground. Mind you Huddersfield had bugger all to lift the crowd. Anderson had sweet FA to do. Having said tha...
I have voted "No". Not because I think there is better available, I don't, I think Murray is the best strike we can buy for that amount of money. In fact we could probably spend a bit more money and not end up with a striker as good as Murray. I have voted "No" because I want to ...
I've voted "Yes". I'm really hoping the captaincy choice today, will spark Pearce back to his pre-contract debacle form, of 3/4 years ago. I had been thinking it is time for him to move on, however, a new manager has come in and and in his first match, selected him as captain, Clarke can c...
Really am dissapointed, I genuinely believed things would turn around. Nigel is undoubtedly a good manager but like with Rogers, it just didn't happen here. My heart says give Dolan the job, he is Reading through and through and plays football in a manner I would like to see from us and knows the fi...
1) I made the point that even the ones who have gone into admin have reformed or are still in existence in some form. 2) If billionaire owners can afford to gamble millions then that isn't really recklessness since they are not putting their intrinsic wealth at risk. They would regard your scenario...
I don't like the FFP regulations and I don't think they will last long, few years maybe. I prefer the idea that we can buy our way to success with the possibility that an oil/gas/property/ rich tycoon comes in with a huge wad and we start buying players for mega-millions. It might never happen but ...
Personally I'm glad this is happening. We can release the higher earners, continue to bring on some of the promising youngsters, whilst next summer looking to buy players not on ridiculous contracts, that fit the style of play we are yearning to see at the Madjeski. Return to a Reading FC that we lo...
Yeah I noticed that too. Seems quite the omission. Don't have the foggiest if it means anything, must be very closely linked with one of the joint owners.
http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article/chairman-statement-190914-1929544.aspx Now officially complete. I am delighted to announce that, following confirmation from the Football League, our new Asian consortium partners are now in place at Reading Football Club. After months of tireless hard work an...
*copied and pasted from team board now* Great to have Obita back at left back, hope he stays there now. Very decent defence. Our attacking options are the best we can do with current injuries, so good luck to those guys. And I Like the thought of Kuhl & Norwood in midfield, very much a passing g...
Great to have Obita back at left back, hope he stays there now. Very decent defence. Our attacking options are the best we can do with current injuries, so good luck to those guys. And I Like the thought of Kuhl & Norwood in midfield, very much a passing game today, retain possession as much as ...
After this whole painful saga of the takeover we now seem to be in a total anti climax situation based on the sort of players we are looking to sign. Two Notts F cast offs and a CH who has to try and re-prove himself. Cant see us going for Murray as he is too similar to the Pog and Palace would wan...
You're correct with your proportionality, I was just exaggerating slightly and hoping no one would be particularly fussy. But I stand by my point. If I alter it slightly and you were buying a house for £500,000 and on the day of exchanging contracts the seller said you had to pay an extra £10,000, ...
There are various people on here and on other social media outlets that keep saying that the Thai's, SJM, cutting the transfer budget or even selling a player should be done just to get this deal done. Why are some people so inherently stupid. Why should anyone, bend over, spread cheeks and except ...
