We have Nige to thank for getting to 100.

Brian would have conceded possession after 36 pages.

Brians brand of football doesnt work in the prem.




......with the players he had at his disposal, which were all he could really afford


No 'brand of football' would have been effective with the players we had at our disposal!


Brian decided how he wanted his team to play when he left out our best passing/creative midfielder for most of the season.

Guthrie and Pearce were our best two players last night and Brian was the man that chose not to play them last season. Instead he played Leigertwood and then McAnuff (out of position in centre midfield). Tactically, he wasnt good enough for the premiership while Adkins clearly was.

Brian would have done fuck all for 99 pages, and then stolen page 100 TOTP from under everyone's noses.
The cheeky cunt.

McD got to where he is thanks to little old Reading and our way of doing things.
People in on about having to sell to survive, but that is life when your income is at our level. It was a good job that we had players left from Coppells time in Long and Siggy to sell.

McD was then good at taking a few players and getting more from them than they were giving elsewhere. Harte, ledge McAnnuff. Sadly long term they were on a down slide. With nothing like Long etc increasing in value. The Reading way was in danger, so he had to go. We made how much on his signings overall?

Wasn't McAnnuff Rodgers' signing?

“We just move on from that quickly. I just said to them, ‘Get on with it’. You can wallow in results like that as long as you like, but it’s not my cup of tea to do that. We move on to the next game against Burnley and let’s make sure we get it right and do what we’ve got to do against them."

Did you delete my TOTP? You've just made yourself a very powerful enemy.
