Re: Thames Sports Investment

I have loved every word TSI have uttered to be honest. The one thing that fills me with a bit of dread is that I felt like we saw the ceiling to our support when we were in the Prem for the second season and limping to capacity (or even close to it) for some games. We will grow slowly as these kids...

Re: Sean Cummings

It would be interesting to see the stats, but I reckon Cummings got forward a bit more when Kebe was injured and out of the side. Kebe has also made a marked improvement this season in his tracking back, but if Cummings overlapped too often, I really think we'd get caught out down that flank. And as...

Re: Reflections

As we approach the end of my 64th season as a supporter of RFC I cannot remember feeling as proud of our team as I do at this moment. On 19th November last year, having lost 2-1 to Cardiff, we were 14th in the league with a record of P17 W5 D6 L6 GF17 GA17 Pts 21. Since then we have won 22 of the 2...

Re: Le Fondre

I've been thinking about Alfie. He's a phenomenal finisher, and always in the right place at the right time (eg both goals at Brighton). Is he better that Curo was in this regard? But then both goals against Southampton were completely different! The first a divine strike into the top corner in a b...

Re: BBC Predictor - End Of Season Predictions

I cannot think of anything else but football at the mo. I honestly feel sick with either excitement or worry not sure which. With West Ham kicking off before us tomorrow it could be a nightmare last 15 mins Not if they've dropped points and we are 3-0 up! Mind you, I'll probably still be bricking i...

Re: Saints view of last nights game

Only weak spot was our centre mid, which was not great at times, although Mullins did come back into it second half. I thought Tabb and Mullins were too close together first half. When ALF came on and McAnuff moved inside, Mullins dropped a little deeper and Jobi was a bit more mobile than Tabb (wh...

Re: The Snowball stat thread

104 pages of stats is lovely and thank you giving me the opportunity to utilise my time so effectively at work. However, what I'd really like to know is are we going to get promoted please? IF we finish in the TOP TWO then we WILL get promoted BUT, other teams MIGHT finish there instead so we'll be...

Re: Bring on Southampton!!

LoyalRoyalFan Would love to nick it 1-0.

A cheeky Gunnarsson 94th minute winner.


Nah, Bryn is saving his goal for an absolute worldy at the Madejski that clinches promotion!

As you say though, would love to nick it 1-0 in injury time!

Re: The Weakest Squad to Ever Secure Promotion

In relation to our "weak" squad, how does our's compare in what it cost to put together, to how much West Ham and Saints have spent? I was asked by a Chelsea supporting colleague but don't have much of a clue as to what the Saints have spent building their team. Obviously West Ham have sp...

Re: The Weakest Squad to Ever Secure Promotion

We really mustn't forget the massive contribution that McDermott has made. He has taken a side in turmoil at the bottom of the league and inside two and a half seasons, turned former academy players into regular starters, added a wealth of experience under the financial restrictions that Madejski (r...

I need a p1ss but can't move for fear of something bad happening. Will just settle for wetting myself.


I've already wet myself. It's not so bad, to be honest.

Come on, what's the latest? People moan about listening to the game, what about me who is in the bloody oxf*rd dark! Reading holding on, but catching them on the break. Lacking a bit of quality up front. Our fans doing us proud. Poyet being a bit of a Belmont on the touchline. 7 minutes plus stoppa...
