Re: First team jetting off to Spain for intensive training

How easy is it to get a flight for a party of probably 30 or so people at short notice at this time of year? Very if you charter a private plane. Not even that expensive either, relatively speaking. I'd suggest a week of Beerens wages would cover it. Website below quotes between 2 and 12K for a ret...

Re: Who still thinks Reading will avoid relegation...

They`ve not scored in any of those games either, and if I`m not mistaken the home game before that they stuck four past Arsenal. None of this matters. We have a track record of being the team you want to face if you have some obscure, awful record you want to correct. The amount of times on this fo...

Re: Rival Watch

Sunderland's games look tough. And it remains to be seen if their 3-3 draw at the weekend will kick-start them much. They still went 3-0 down in first half an hour, and Bristol gifted them 2 own goals late on. They've got Bolton which is very winnable, Boro which is a derby and could go either way,...

Re: The only course of action now...

Can I just remind people, that even if we were top-two, going away to Boro and losing 2-1 is NOT terrible and does not justify a melt-down. They are a very decent side, four points off the play-offs, spent shed-loads, have a very good manager and some excellent players Spot on. I don't think people...

Re: Who still thinks Reading will avoid relegation...

To all the stattos, to all the doubters, to all the boo boys: We will not get relegated. This is because there are more than 3 teams worse than us in the league that will have a lower points total come game 46. It's really that simple. Whilst I agree we won't go down when all is said and done at th...

Re: Look on the bright side

If we went up, and stayed up for a few seasons, what would our model look like? Would everyone be ok if we did a Burnley? Burnley aren't exactly well known for playing entertaining footy, either now or back in the Champ. Their manager, Dyche, is said by some to be rather dour. Just saying. I would,...
