Well so now we know where Mr Ego is taking this club. For the sake of spending a fraction of the the Sky money from the last 2 years on a couple of decent prem quality players, we find ourselves out of the top flight, selling our top names, and watching the inevitable downward spiral back to where w...

Short answer is .... yes.

But then you knew that already.

On another note I wish the doom mongers would shut the ***** up What, and let the RTGs hog the limelight? No chance. There are 3 types on this board, RTGs, Realistics and STGs. Presumably you have just joined the board, and so naturally you will gravitate towards the first group. As the years of su...

Always good to get back into the habit of going to games again. Also this fixture is good as it's a first look at our new signings.... This pre-season last year we were playing River Plate of Argentina in a multi-national tournament. Now we're back to playing nth tier non-league oppos with our only...

Thought I'd lost it ... here you go Spacey ...



Coouple of 3rd power polynomial trendlines added for interest. Not sure how much they tell really, but look good!

See I'm going to have update the graph I did in Elm Park Echoes ..... was that really 10 years ago!?

Pants. Along with Fae and Kebe a total waste of time and money. RFC would have yielded better results had they spent the £2.5M + £675k + £400k on giving Academy players a chance or on UK based Championship players. £3.575M of utter dross. Along with the £1M spent on Bikey, I'm not surprised in the ...

andybsroyals Today John Oster will become a READING LEGEND??????

He already is!

He rivals Paul Holsgrove for the award of the most 3rd most pointless player ever to appear in our 1st team. (Sean Evers and Paul Brayson occupy the top 2 positions)

Kevin Doyles Right Foot No Bikey is a disgrace

And who would you leave out to accommodate the the one-paced, red-mist liability?!? Apart from the Welsh right-winger, I am struggling to think of anyone else in the starting XI who could do worse than the Bike.

Or did you miss out a comma?

c £8M net, (i.e. bought - sold), in total, spread over 4 transer windows.

Before everyone has a rant at him, do remember that it is HIS money, not the club's that he'd be spending. Perhaps we did need to spend a bit more than we did during the off season, but the point remains: Madejski sees a problem with the current set up regarding funding for purchases and has a plan...

Coppell shouldn't be sacked but I'm convinced he'll step down after all the talk about having a break earlier in the season. If that happens we should try and make Gary Johnson the man. Promoted from conference to League 2, followed by League 2 to League 1 with Yeovil. Then League 1 to Championship...

Thanks mate. Feel free to lock, delete etc!

I've got to stop surfing late at night .... Is this another wind-up or is it of some substance? If these guys were sniffing around Spurs some time ago, I would have thought RFC would be a more attractive proposition that Sheff W or Soton. Depends if they want a Championship club or one in Divsion 1!...

FFS ... as if we didn;t already have enough to worry about. Fae has been a major flop since joining us as our record signing, (ha!), and now he's throwing his weight around like a superstar!!!! Bye bye flop. You will like it in Sunderland! As for Sonks, he should know better. http://www.thesun.co.uk...
