Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (h)

Why's that Nath? Any rhyme or reason? Or purely gut instinct? Be interested to know. Wycombe have been playing well for the majority of the season without getting results, they have tried to get away from the Ainsworth hoofball tactic they were so accustomed to. I think it has to click eventually. ...

Re: Who do you consider to be a rival?

My first Reading game was back in 1979 and for the most part it was always Aldershot, Swindon and Oxford!! Both Brizzle teams always came in big numbers and looked to cause trouble but i wouldn't call them rivals. From my memories Oxford always seemed to bring the most away fans and the atmosphere ...

Aldershite all day long. Trust me, if that ever becomes a Cup game, get your tin hats ready. Bumped into A Company when we played away at QPR. No comment.

Half Horse Any recommendations for pubs please? We are arriving at Fratton station.


Shepherd's Crook. Remember back in the day when we turned up with a few of the Chelsea lads, and then later on the ol' bill were broadcasting "The Great unwashed have just exited the Shepherd's Crook" :lol:

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

Do worry a bit of fatigue - mental and physical - might kick in. Been a tough if successful few weeks. Long journeys on midweek etc Still not out of the question that we pick up points here. Totally agree with your thoughts regarding fatigue, Hound. However, if the squad are mentally prepared for t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fleetwood Town (a)

I am not going to this one, but will always take a point away from home. A slight change of subject about Sky Sports . A mate at work seems to think we are getting quite a bit of coverage before games and even getting mentioned on some of their chat shows. I’ve not seen anything so just wondered if...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fleetwood Town (a)

Hard to disagree that we probably shouldn't make any changed unless enforced tomorrow - would likely look to rotate at Pompey where a result is less likely. Could see Mola & Dorsett swap if Selles decides we need a little more physicality otherwise leave as is and tweak as Feb goes on to give p...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (h)

What can be said? Apart from the first 10 minutes, that was complete domination and a well deserved 3pts, bring on Fleetwood! Another big game on Tuesday night, particularly in terms of momentum and given where Fleetwood are in the league. As it's as good as a 245 mile single trip, I'd be intereste...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (h)

And talking of alleged pitch invasions, this ref will be on red alert. Given that he was the one who was recently chased around half the pitch by some bloke up at Port Vale.

Re: Selles In

I know I digress but ah mate, what a goal. And what a maverick as well. One of Reading's finest. I used to watch him saunter past my place on his way to Elm Park. He didn't have a care in the world. Locks flowing accompanied by that bandy gait of his. As soon as he trotted on to the hallowed turf t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

So Evans has been in touch with EFL officials and the proverbial 'they' are saying that Stevenage should have been awarded a clear and obvious pen towards end of first half. Can't make my mind up about the bloke. On the one hand, he's giving us the sympathy vote and then he's barking on about World ...

Re: An irrational hatred of Luton

I honestly want them to stay up over Everton and if they do give manager of the year to their boss 100%. Rob Edwards is proving to be a first class manager and the way that he dealt with the recent Tom Lockyer situation was admirable. He wore his heart on his sleeve and, for me, gained many admirer...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Reading v Derby protest - One person threw a tennis ball onto the pitch at half time, came from either the Lower West near the away fans or it was one of the away fans (seemed to come from that direction, but doesn't make sense that it would have been thrown by them) Makes perfect sense Forbury.

Re: Potential New Owners

Those sales are what fuelled in for them and it's where we have fallen on the wrong side significantly under Dai. The season we had a wages-turnover ratio of over 200%, I believe they were second in the table at like 180%. It was obviously taken at a moment in time, but of course selling players fo...

100% yes. And well done to everybody who stood their ground. Quite a few of us did it back in the day at Elm Park, after a tonking from Palarse. Johnny Mad came on the mike and the rest is history. For all his tactical faults, in past games, Selles went up in a lot of peeps estimation yesterday. At ...
