Will you be writing a report to The Tilehurst End, like you promised a few weeks ago? Who are you to question John Smith? :lol: Invite? Not sure you're that special mate. :wink: There's a link on the site that invites you to submit a piece. OK, I'll write a report for the Plymouth match then as I w...

Some funny reactions on their forums, crap draw but winnable is the general feeling. plucked this one out. 25 mins from London, decent stadium, awful team, a town full of pubs and 3hrs away. Some of you must live in Monte Carlo if you think it's the worst draw possible. An over-nighter in Oxford or...

stealthpapes Oxford.

Away.

This. Thread closed.

Should we rename the entire forum 'OMA'?

Hound yes, I'm sure they are very keen for Mannone to go. But if he doesn't, may as well use him as back up

Pretty sure Mannone has a huge appearance bonus due if he makes another first team appearance for us too.

He certainly checks a few boxes on the psychopath test. Cunning / Manipulative Grandiose sense of self Glib / Superficial charm Lack of remorse or guilt Lack of empathy Pathological liar Though I'd have him down as a narcissist personally. He's seemed pretty clearly depressed at times in recent yea...

Meite is one of the only players that still put in 100% effort when we were on our awful run of form. He is also our joint top scorer. To suggest he is lazy is laughable +1 + another Yep. I think anyone with half an ounce of footballing knowledge can see Yak is a worker. He does need to be in the t...

oxf*rd sake!

John Smith How bad are Middlesbrough?! Their last win was when they beat us back in September and they have a stack of tough games coming up.

If they fail to beat Barnsley at home on 27th November, does Jonathan Woodgate go?

Almost certainly. A club like that he's probably already on borrowed time.

He is absolutely clueless. I dont know if he is one of these types who is being serious but then plays the fishing card, or he is actually like how he comes across, which is an utter bellend. He's the one who trolls players and when they block him he slates them for doing so then when you give him ...

I agree with Tony Le Mesmer. and another plus one. Surprised at Mid Sussex here. What extra homework was needed? It is just a case of having the skill to get the guest to talk about their experiences which is exactly what he has done. Yes he could probe some "controversial" moments but un...

This is that thing 'don't talk about Fight Club', isn't it, where STAR insist that if comments at the forum were more widely shared (than to a collection of ordinary Reading fans) then all hell would break loose. I think the lack of transparency from STAR in matters such as these is highly worrying...

The thing is I have no idea what happiness people get supporting Man City when they're not from there at all and are just supporting a team that's gone from total shite to 2nd best in the country with just money. Do the kids walking around with City tops on have any idea at all/ Would they have any...

JamieY26 We were beating them comfortable more recent than that though.

Did the double over them in the 2006/7 season and that included a 2-0 away win!

Remember it well. Lita had a blinder that day. The COM/Ethiad was even quieter than usual...

I thought it was a poor game. Lots of misplaced passes, constant stoppages in the second half, aimless football from both teams. Yep, agreed. I have no issue with us being more direct when required say if the opposition are operating the 'High Press', gives them something to think about but I reall...

No mention there on length of contract. The snake confirmed in its Berkshire Live interview: Contract It's till the end of the season. I didn't think about the length of the contract. https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/new-reading-fc-manager-mark-17086617 So when it takes us ...

In the middle ground, sitting on the fence The whining on twitter is strangely enjoyable and really does make me want him to do well though. To the point I’d like to see him start Gunter and McCleary just to see a few of them explode in anger Gunter as captain on Saturday and we may see a riot. Maf...

You will note that I made no mention whatsoever about him as a manager. That's because I know nothing of that either - nor do all but one of the HobNob massive. Who is this allusive individual your refer to Fran? Is it Gazza? I don't KNOW that this person has inside knowledge, but I very strongly s...

The level of negativity to this is breathtaking. 1. No-one on here (one potential exception) will have any idea how much MB was involved in the upturn in form either last season or at the start of this. 2. No-one on here will have the slightest notion as to how successful or otherwise his ideas wer...

Twitter virgins losing their collective minds as if we announced Adolf Hitler as manager. Let me guess. Mafff? Is he related to that LORD CKS - good grief - I actually feel sorry for the bloke.... (well I don't, but have a word mate seriously) Lord CKS is the biggest Belmont on Twitter. Now that ta...
