I havent trawled through all 24 pages of this, just need to say 3 things :- 1: Pearce is Reading through and through, unlike some others of the first team. It is these players who have come through the ranks and are proving themselves in the PL that RFC need to make an example of and sign them up, n...

Used to know him through my old job, when he was based in Herts.. Top bloke , very good ref as well.

Death
Peters / Bennett / Hicks / White

Sorry, read the penultimate line though. Point me in the right direction please.

Talking with my daughter on the way back last night took us on to who`s going to be around next season. We reckon that Griffin, Harte , Morrison, Baseya and Howard will be thanked and waved off, Gunnarsson probably offered a coaching role, and maybe Tabb, Mills, Church and Sheppard having an uncomfo...

Been on nights this week so only just heard the news. Without trawling through all 22 pages all I can say (someone has probably mentioned it already) the last thing I would want to see is RFC splashing the cash left right and centre (a la Leicester for example, and Chelsea if you take it to the nth ...

My first visit to `Fortress Madjeski` since November - what a disappointment. Would roughly agree with others on here, though Feds was lucky not to concede a second when he mis-controlled badly just before half time. Their goal looked like it was deflected - why didn`t Mcanuff pass it back when he h...

My first game of the season, so here goes:- Our centre back pairing looks pretty solid No positivity in midfield Strikers not Championship standard Kebe can`t be bothered most of the time McAnuff more effective in midfield as opposed to the wing (that might be an answer to point 2) :wink: Their no 7...

Did anyone else have the `pleasure` of Doncaster at the Belle Vue ? Sept. 85 - a couple of dark huts in the corner, one of which contained the biggest turd known to mankind trying to escape from its home. Won the game 1-0 though !

I agree, I still don`t understand how they were allowed to have Bellamy when Man City were paying the bulk of his wages. In the Ist leg vs us, they had 5 loanees starting, that in itself can`t be right. Leicester City also fall in to this category as well. Loans after the end of January should only ...

2-0 to us. Was not at all impressed with Leeds at the MadStad in November, and they`ve hit a bit of a bad patch in the last few weeks.

Yes, forgot about Kitson, though I think he may have been naturally right-footed but worked on his left and it turned out stronger than his right ? Him apart, it is quite noticeable that left-footers (ahem) seem more one-footed than right footers, hence Manset running in circles sometimes to get on ...

How about Readings best lefties of the last few years ? Heres mine:
Jamie Ashdown
Ian Harte
Nicky Shorey
Adi Viveash
Brian Howard
Jay Tabb
Stephen Hunt
Gregorz Rasiak
Hal Robson Kanu
Martin Butler
Nathan Tyson

Back in the 80`s, Gary Heale had a bit of a reputation as being `bigger than the club`, and I think Kevin Bremner (great player though he was)thought more of himself than was healthy.

Anyone know our ball number ?

Yes, I too thought Pearce very unlucky to be dropped for kish after playing really well in the main this season.It did indeed look to me to be Mills at fault for 1 if not 2 Donny goals Saturday. Pearce`s lack of pace does keep him at a disadvantage with others available. While we`re on the Mills sub...

Cant be bovved to read all 7 pages, but my thoughts are: Griffin & Karacan streets ahead of everybody else. Tabb had what can be politely described as `an off day` HRK good in patches but loses posession too easily particularly on his first touch Antonio direct but very one footed Long did all t...

Of the recent past, I never liked Cisse - he just didnt look like a footballer, never mind play like one. As far Fae - what a waste of space. Currently there is no real irrational disliking of anyone, though if pushed Marcus Williams comes close. Going back a bit/ a lot, I never really warmed to Gar...

Yes, I can`t wait until about 16.50 tomorrow , when all the whingers and moaners come on here and start spouting on about the usual (lack of investment/ambition ,apathetic chairman etc etc etc) even though we will probably have won the actual match.
