I would also re-sign Lita. Best moment was Sonks' massive hoof into Y26. :D :D :D Also, he looked exactly the same as his playing days. What a beast; and Curo is the Benjamin Button of football. Brilliant day out and there was definitely not a tear in my eye at the end. :oops: Yep I felt emotional ...

Who is the McDermott keeper? Also, I'd re-sign Leroy Lita :lol: Yeah, spent ages trying to work out who it was. Thought the name on the back of his shirt said Grant but came to the conclusion he was a makeshift keeper as didn't recognise him at all. Lita's still got his pace, always expected the 20...

As others have said, also going and looking forward to it. Will be the first Reading game i've been to anywhere for quite a long time..

The single factor most likely to make someone support a football club is that their family has supportted them in the past, so if you don't have that history of mass attendence in the first place it's not something that will naturally grow - a period of success like we had 15 years ago will kick-st...

Blackburn at home March 2008. It was a good 0-0 as we went down to 10 men. If only Stephen Hunt had scored right at the death. The worst display i've ever seen at a game by the officials. Mark Clattenberg (a ref who i thought was decent) basically decided he wasn't prepared to get his cards out in ...

... which one would you go for? Bolton Play-Off Final? Huddersfield Play-Off Final? Blackburn (a) to get into Europe? Birmingham (h) to get into autos? Or something else? For me, I think it has to be FA Cup semi v Arsenal. To see Reading in an FA Cup Final has been a dream for as long as I can reme...

Derby 2006. Had tickets but came down with a really bad bout of flu and could barely get out of bed for the day. Yeah, that game for me too. Remember looking at the fixtures in the programme at the Watford game and thinking that this could be the game when we win promotion. IIRC tried to get ticket...

When did I start watching Reading: May 1995 Favourite season: 2005/06 Ultimate XI ....................Hahnemann Griffin, Ingimarsson, Wdowczyk, Shorey Little, .........Sidwell, Harper .........McAnuff .......................Sigurdsson .........................Kitson Subs: Shaka, Murty, Sonko, Swift...

SSN just reported us having an interest in Liverpool cb Rhys Williams. 20 y/o been on loan at Swansea, but not played much. 6ft 5 Again an odd one I hope this won’t happen as by all accounts he isn’t ready for the Championship. He hasn’t been getting any plaudits at Swansea. I have been trying to r...

Feel a bit sorry for McCann all things considered as Hull have been up against it for a few years now, hopefully they do a Birmingham and appoint a Zola-esque figure and start going backwards. Look likely to appoint Shota Arveladze, who has a fairly average record in Turkey and Israel but did very ...

I wish I knew and could say more…(I don’t and won’t) ….but our so-called Team Captain…holds too much sway amongst our ‘easily-led’ squad. Not a Team Captain that I will ever remember with endearment. Starting to get a reminder of 2008 and a certain incident that was mentioned in The Secret Football...

Royals and Racers He is injured- think he had an operation and is recovering and i think is a couple of weeks away from returning.

Yes although there are other issues which Spizzy alluded to a while ago.

The other night Pauno also referred to other issues, which he wasn't prepared to go into.

Blimey, this is a blast from the past!

First match i've seen (apart from highlights) for ages, brilliant result and what a goal by Rose!
I dismissed the idea of a challenge for the Top 3 but it actually looks possible now!

Results from yesterday: Saturday30th October FA Trophy 3rd Qualifying Round Herne Bay 0-2 Binfield – att 263 Bunting and Harris (pen) late on for ‘Moles’ Late in posting but went to this :( Good to see programmes being sold, though they clearly expected more interest as someone went round the groun...

Remember Gomes saying in that podcast with Adie Williams that he regretted not leaving that summer when he wanted to.

Got 25/27. Happy with that.

Got the least goals and away kit questions wrong. Was initially going to go for the correct option for the away kit!

Never understood why leaving early is so taboo. Obviously you wouldn't with the score level in a playoff semi final or something - but in more games than not the last few minutes don't count for much, and a few minutes missed on the match can be the difference of half an hour queuing for a bus/to g...

Given the recent chat about Aaron Kuhl it was interesting to see that he scored for Slough yesterday. He was one of my favourite academy players when he broke through so it's a shame what happened to him.

Mentioned it on another thread but are we missing O'Shea? I'm surprised it's not been brought up. He was the only coach retained when Pauno was appointed so the club clearly thought highly of him. We've gone from generally solid defensively over the 2 years he was a full-time coach to horrendous th...
