Also where do you think Barack Obama was on 9/11?

Maybe if he'd been doing his job in the White House then the attacks wouldn't have happened.


2001, not 2011. George W was in the chair.

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Royal_jimmy Even Madejski was excited about the owners when they took us over.

He must feel sick now


To coin a phrase at the peak of our success, we must cut our cloth, and now we're threadbare. For the rag bin?

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

Still think it doesn't show enough change. Recruiting is 'active' and there's talk of new owners. Perhaps the latter is linked. It's not the time to actually coach and shape, it's the time required to build under new direction.

Re: How long will it take to return? - Courtesy TRF.

1 year, nowhere and sold to another investor who thinks another stab at Thames Valley Royals is viable just so that the sale of the stadium will generate the funds for a stadium in nowhere's Ville. :D :D :D

Re: Will you still travel to Huddersfield (A) if already relegated?

The final insult, the away game to the side that have just relegated us, and with Warnock as the conductor. The only integrity the club can salvage in this is to not play any player who won't be here next season and see how the team could have performed. Will anyone be buoyant enough for an inflatab...

Re: BFTG Burnley

What a relief. I had a real concern that yesterday was going to be the first of the actual final steps into relegation and the end of the Madejski era, in that the 106 record would go. In particular it would also vindicate Warnock's view of Burnley being the best team he'd ever seen at this level, h...

Re: Ince out!

TGP nailed it.

Ince senior nailed it this morning. At this point in the season negativity towards the team at the game is not going to help.

But then, the fans know better eh!

Re: Pauno out

I've remained in the Pauno In camp as while I think he should have been sacked some while back, I considered that the club wouldn't do it. They haven't, and I don't think this will change before the end of the season. Hence, at that point I consider it better to support the team than undermine it. M...

Re: Pauno out

As a measure of the top level thinking/pressure, SJM went on record just several weeks ago suggesting that we stick with Pauno.

Yes it tailed off, but it was the biggest change in years. I think the club worked really hard with the EFL over the FFP a...

Re: Do fans have to take action ASAP?

I guess our sell out of the allocation at QPR shows the core accept the position we're in and just want to get behind the team.

Re: Do fans have to take action ASAP?

Good snips, thanks Millsy. I'm willing to ride out to the end of Feb, and maybe to the summer, but if we stay up and there's not a clear game plan presented, then it won't be much better at all next season.

Re: Do fans have to take action ASAP?

Just stick with it and try to enjoy the roller coaster of the ride. Pauno said don't expect anything from Jan, so in that respect he can at least provide an honest and a realistic view. That takes some doing in comparison to those who make soundbite promises and then don't deliver. I thought they di...

While they have indeed been tremendously successful, they have not won the Champions League and are the 5th richest club in the world, still behind United.

Re: This is Poor

Ok, I have seen every game this season so far and now is enough. This team is poor. IMHO I think its the manager and his tactics that are not up to standard as the players have shown themselves to be quite skilful. The substitutions were awful and the team immediately lost all structure. This nonse...
