Why do you think festive footy is so popular? Perfect excuse for a break from the in-laws! Football is and has always been an important part of our family Christmas. A rare chance to attend as a family, Dad and the brothers, and then with with my sons and hopefully maybe one day with Grandsons. I c...

Surely the Ref has to dish out the cards as the game dictates, if no-one commits a foul, no-one gets booked, and if a bad foul is committed then a yellow is waved. The Ref can only deal with it as it unfolds. If there are a high number of cards, then obviously, there have been a high number of fouls...

robroyal, my Grandad is dead. And what would he say about us losing to Forest? Well he onced lived in Nottingham but never in Reading so maybe you could work that one out. But if your argument is about a team dropping silly points, then what would Manure fans say when they won the title last season ...

Back-to-back wins where we would have been happy with a point of two, and suddenly we're up to 7th. With more firepower and creativity we could be a decent team again. :shock: :shock: :shock: 'Could be a decent team again'? Do me a favour! We've been a decent team with an extremely good Manager for...

This was typical of our home games with West Ham really. Once again they turned up full of usual arrogance, played appalingly, behaved worse and their fans - all mouth for the first hour - left in a strop at 2-0. F*ck 'em; morally and financially bankrupt club with a nasty, violent fanbase. I saw t...

SLAMMED Why would it change

No one said that it had to change, but i fancy SJM and a few others have a wee ostentatious side to them, and might like to change it.

If as expected in the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations next year, Reading is granted City status, does Reading FC change its name as other Clubs (such as Swansea Town now City) have in the past? If so what should we hope to be named? 'City of Reading FC' ? 'Reading City FC' ? or just carry on as ...

Oh yes, Oxford and Swindon do give a shit about us, just that they haven't played against us for a few years. Ask an Oxford fan who their main rivals are and they will say "Swindon" - ask a Swindon fan who their main rivals are and they will say "Oxford" - ask an Aldershot fan w...

you sound like such a fleece wearing bore.

You sound like a plimsoll wearing oxf*rd.

Ladies, ladies, you both sound like complete tw@ts.

Ah! the old Oxford Road Primary school Book of Insults!

What's not to be excited about? 20,000+ crowd, 4,000 away fans will make for a good atmosphere. Chance to sleep off the inevitable Saturday morning hangover and time for hair of the dog beforehand. Remind me of this optimism when I am sneaking out with us 0-3 down with 10 mins to go 8) Steady on th...

I was onthe pitch for the 0-0 with cambridge as well, steward says " im not stopping you lads"...so we all piled over and ran on to voice disgust at madejski. Well, well, well,. Would you believe it? That invasion was an embarrassment to all associated with the Club. I remember it well. I...

May be the most obscure invasion ... early 1970s ? Reading reserves v Tottenham reserves ... about 15 fans left the terrace behind the Town End and cut across the corner of the pitch to get to the C stand where a fight had broken out between an old bloke and a non playing Spurs youth team player, n...

The most pissed i've ever been at a game was so good i can't remember where it was, who it was against, or much about it to be fair. i just know it was in the days when you were allowed to carry your own crate of beer in to the ground and no one batted an eyelid. But i must say, if you can remember ...

SJM In!

Excellent player never understood why he picked Reading when he could have still played at a higher level. After playing at Celtic, anything would have been a higher level. Silly comment, the SPL was a lot better back then, much better than division one. Did you not follow football then? For some r...

I think we should invite Madonna. Just think of all the young players she could bang, and when she gets bored of the same old routine (and she always does), she could go out and spend millions on bringing in new cock, sorry, new players to the club.

Come on John boy, you've done your bit now it's time to sell to someone who's champing at the bit to throw cash into the club and take us where we should be. You had better explain how this would work finch. John boy as you call him has done a hell of a lot more than 'your bit'. In fact the Knight ...
