Which genius decided that it wouldn't be a good idea to take extra players in case Kebe wasn't fit...oh yeah, McDermott. Enjoying the Rodgers Revolution. 3rd, yep. Funny how someone who accused Coppell of capitalising on a former manager's work at Reading can't see that Rodgers is doing the same th...

Useless bl dy strikers

He was born in France but his parents are from elsewhere.

Robert Pirès was born in Reims to a Portuguese father and Spanish mother

bcubed listening to commentary, Burnley sound like they are as dirty a side as ever
Probably one of the nastiest sides to visit the Madstad

Same goes for their "fans".

If they go under its bad. I've got no love for them but its always sad when a club dies. DIsagree. If they go bust then its the wake up call football needs. Agree totally. Something bad has to happen to someone. Pompey will find a last minute buyer and there is no way they will go bust but these st...

I'd lay the largest proportion of blame for the City goal at Harte's door, and he was most responsible for the 2 or 3 good chances Swansea had just after half time. You can't judge him as being good just because they failed to put those chances away!!! "Karacan went to sleep" "Griffi...

cmonurz And finally, I can't believe that Shane fcuking Long has played 162 times for Reading; 35 (and counting) more than Cureton.

Cureton had Nicky Forster as competition for his place whereas Long has Simon "Flaming" Church.

That's an interesting and useful insight, thanks Hoop. I don't think I've been to a reserve game or if I have I certainly don't remember. I was left wondering why Lita didn't get a gam under Coppell when he scored 4 in the reserves, but if what you say is true it's not that relevant. Interested to ...

Seems to me a similar situation to 2000 (as another titled thread points out) back then we had the likes of Jimmy Mac, Skittles and Brayson and it was only the signing of Butler and Cureton that turned us from a midtable side into one that was capable of moving forward . The same happened when Kits...

You can come up with all the stats you want it doesn't change the fact that we lost a very special player in August who could change games with moments of genius likethis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwUmQZI7ias&feature=related and http://soccer-portal.org/cat/video/1310-gylfi-thor-sigurdsson...

He's gone in January Kebe, Kebe.

Amazing is the only word to describe him tonight. Craig Brown (sort of) says he's better than Brazil.

I genuinely hope they play us off the pitch and beat us with our mong fanbase. Why as a Reading fan would you want any opposition team to beat us? You love I won't boo Rodgers he was too inexperienced for the job and whatever the length of time he had he wasn't good enough. Imo it doesn't matter wh...

Don't worry I have. As have others.

Note: This statistical stuff is fcuking boring. No it isn't. It's boring if you read it, if you're the bored by stats type. Resolution? Don't read stuff that bores you. That was hard, wasn't it? Personally, I find real facts, objective facts (statistics) to be illuminating. Human inference, intuiti...

Not enough movement in the box for me when we have a corner. We will get lucky once or twice but we always look static and line up in the same formation. Statistically 100% of players on the pitch will move at some point during a match but some will move less than others on account of being substit...

Finally someone's started a back from the game thread. I'm surprised no one thought of it before.

Karacan been threatening to score a goal like that for a while now.

1 = Shaka Remember going to Elm Park as a little kid and being amazed at this impossibly tall bloke in goal. Add the fact that he was a great player and had an amazing relationship with the crowd he was an instant hero. 1 = Forster Can't seperate him and Shaka. He would get people off their feet wit...
