Goodness me!

Jamie Cureton, what a bargain, what a bargain!

I'm a bit UKIP so I'll do it anyway .....

Elm Park 24 October 1959 Reading 1-0 York City Division 3. My uncle took me to the game, I would have been 9 years old.

Because we stayed behind for photos etc on Saturday, and were part of a group kindly allowed by the club into the players' lounge to watch the end of the Middlesborough game (thank you RFC!), I had the opportunity to talk to Brian and, more interestingly, to Mr D'Urso. Brian said "...the Refere...

Well said Shards! Exactly how I would describe Shane Long. Feeble!

Dave Kitson?, Leroy Lita? .... Jamie Cureton? ....

You heard it here first!

Exactly! There's been nothing there since May 2006. I used to enjoy the Prediction League. How difficult is it to set up?

As I understand the new rule "home-grown" means "registered in domestic football for three seasons before their 21st birthday". Nothing to do with nationality or country of birth. My question might be: does "domestic football" mean the English Football League ie not Sco...

I've got kids at school older than him!

Northampton - just turned up at Sixfields, bought ticket, shown to seat in main stand by steward who even went and fetched me a programme. All going well till Jamie Cureton scored. Jumped up and gave myself away. Treated to some friendly banter from surrounding Northampton fans. Enjoyed a beer with ...

Yes, I was there, 31 Jan 1968. Reading 0 - 7 Man City. Must have been a weekday evening. I would have been 17. City went on to win the League Championship (as it was then) that year. Lee, Bell, Summerbee....marvellous.

loyalroyal4life this thread least applies to RFC

waste of time, we won't sign anyone on loan until we are well and truly buried in the bottom 3

Er...are we not there already?

It's not a bank holiday - but it should be!

Come on everybody - what's happening?

I see Nicky Shorey's on Fulham's player profiles - bit premature perhaps?

I see that QPR have today got Marcus Bent on loan from Birmingham till the end of the season ....

Half Man Half Biscuit This should be a classic gaussian distribution curve, where did all the bloody 26 to 35 year olds go??

Yes, you're right, it should be. My guess is that they prefer the RFC page on Facebook.....

Elm Park Old Boy HTMBO?

Her That Must Be Obeyed....could be Him I suppose.

Update: Has been snowing since early morning and in Wirral (where i live) we've had a couple of inches of snow however now in Liverpool they've had less and it's more of a fluttering of snow that's not settling in most places. Although still snowing now it's more sleet like than what we saw last we...

Must disagree Kitsondinho. I was brought up in Reading and went to my first match at Elm Park in Oct 57. Since then I have lived in many different parts of the UK. I believe in supporting my local team so during 25 years in the RN I have had season tickets at Portsmouth, Plymouth, Gillingham and St ...

As I told you all last week....
