Re: Drop the ‘Royals’ nickname?

Calm down.
The Royals nickname is F/A to do with members of the Royal family.
Its derivation is geographic. Reading is the county town (capital) of the Royal County of Berkshire, whoever lives at Buck House.

Re: Untrue truisms

In the days before SKY's ££££, it all used to be cyclical. It's far less so now. Herbert Chapman's Huddersfield were the best back in the 20/30's, the Wolves team of the 50's was certainly amongst the best sides in Europe. In the 56 years I've followed RFC, we've played both of them at tier 3 level,...

Re: Bolton fall out

Although I have yet to really warm to him as a person, I did find Richardson's interview after the game addressed most of the points we're all making pretty well. Impressively realistic about where we are. We all desperately want an instant turn around, promotion, liquid football etc. It is obvious...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (h)

What the ******* hell do you call that shambolic cr@p of a half Leam? Teams like Bolton, who've been there or thereabouts for several years now would always be the litmus test of where we are as a team in this league. Whilst I'm not trying to be a LR apologist, the team needs a player up top to pro...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (h)

WestYorksRoyal What I love about the goal is the confidence. This is a striker in the form of his life, he just takes it early with power and conviction. Bang. No chance for the keeper due to the power. This form won't last forever, but for now just enjoy watching a Reading striker playing at his peak

Amen.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (h)

Today I'm getting kind of echoes of the play off season under Stam.
I can remember walking away after the games back then thinking "how did we win that?"

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wimbledon (a)

I seriously hate this back line. It really is shit. POC has been a disappointing signing. Him and Lane were probably the two most exciting of the summer and both have seriously underwhelmed. Fully agree Suts does make a good point, though. We can't handle the high press very well. This is what is n...

WestYorksRoyal O'Connor doesn't look like a bad L1 defender, but he also looks miles off the supposed best CB in the league we thought we were signing.

Yep.

And O Connor SCORES :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
