Must admit as soon as the pen was given I was praying that Hahnemann wouldnt be sent off. The last thing we needed at that point was to be playing with 10 men and with our No 1 goalie missing a league game through suspension. Amazed he wasn't at least booked though, can't help feeling as others hav...

I hope you enjoyed the match. There was some real quality on display. It's just a shame it wasn't from us. I hope you weren't too dissapointed after having travelled so far. Hopefully we won't have too many moer results like it this season. Yea it was fantastic travel despite the typical english we...

It was interesting watching Andy Gray's post match analysis with his touch screen, where he mentioned that Sonko could have come closer for to Henry for the first goal but the shot was so precise and instant, there wasn't much else sonks could have done about it, also Gray accused Ivar of ball watc...

Shame I never got to hear this with no BBC Berks coverage on the net

To be fair to Lawro I agreed with his prediction this week. This was the first match for some time I thought we'd lose comfortably.

Glad we got a concrete answer to this, managers get sent to the stands and do often get touchline bans

Watching on Sky yesterday I could only see Coppell and Downes in the dugout, was Dillon down there or not?

The main thing is Coppell says he deserved to walk. Not a happy man, and I'd be suprised if Bikey gets many more chances in the first team this year. I hope I'm wrong. But with our current lack of defensive cover, despite his upcoming suspension he may well be needed on the bench I would think for ...

Coppell wasn't too impressed with Mr B getting sent off yesterday - just as we were in the ascendancy. Quite simply his needless sending off cost us the game. We threw away the advantage we had for nothing. At the time, I didn't think his second "challenge" deserved a card but having seen...

Friend over the road who knows naff all about football said "your lot are in the sh*t now then." The temptation was there to lay him out on the spot but he`s significantly bigger than me. http://www.section.at/img/smiley/rainyday.gif Yea my gran saw it on the news and said "Reading a...

Just to clarify couldnt put a link to the original thread as it was over a year ago and had long since disappeared, it was stored on my hard drive :wink: Found it interesting that the players had used it to slag each other off online given the "banter" that goes on on AE! I'm sure someone...

Tbh I'm slightly surprised by all this negative talk, I thought Sidwell would assess the situation in the summer depending on the season we've had and the clubs after him. I just think that he's probably counting his lucky stars at the moment, because if the club had accepted the bid from Charlton h...

Another reason I feel we haven't had 1 or 2 break through recently has been the state the club has found itself in. Examples earlier of teams that have brought players through i.e Southampton and Derby are two clubs that have been relegated recently and had financial trouble, mixed in with average ...

Reading Abbey I have Irish blood in me, so yes!
But I was born in England and therefore class myself as 100% English.

Same applies to me too, I've also got some Welsh blood in me too.

In fact I hope all the British teams do well, unless they play England

I've just been re-reading something that was popsted about this last year, and it was clear that players and staff both past and present used hobnob. Anyway it got me thinking, I vaguely remember someone claiming to be an ex player posting on here just after Mad Dog was sacked. Was this person ever ...

Yes that guy was stupid to wear a Man U shirt in the East Stand. I wasnt there but that doesnt condone the behaviour of the mindless idiots who it seems continually attacked him after he'd moved from his seat. Anyone who thinks it does makes me genuinely sick and the whole incident makes me ashamed ...

We've only played 6 games. A little caution is needed methinks? :wink: :roll: I agree with you, a little Coppell 'cautionism' is needed. One mate at work is a Palace fan and things were going very well for them one season with Coppell in charge in the Prem up until November. They went down that sea...

Personally I wouldnt leave early. If I did I just know I'd miss goals, I miss enough for matches I watch on TV, even despite the fact that its a 2 hour journey back and wouldnt get back until at least 1am. I did consider going to the game but for various reasons it wasnt possible. By all accounts I'...

There was about half a dozen Leeds fans sat a few rows in front of us last season at the Mad Stad - when they they scored they stood up cheering - no one complained, kicked off and they weren't asked to leave. I should point out I was in the upper west :( I do recall though some manc fan who though...
