the header against the post by Rodriguez I don't see how he could've done much better tbh - got ahead of Connolly i think it was, got his head on it and hit the outside of the post. Wasn't like he missed a free header from four yards out. I totally agree with that. The point I was trying to make (b...

I am getting a bit fed up with Howe. After the game he was saying that they were unlucky not to get anything out of the game. The subsequent concensus appears to be that we just shaded it. Now he has moved on to claiming that it was a moral victory for them http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/spor...

Well, where do I start? Thank oxf*rd I did not spunk £400 plus on a ST to watch that shit. For anyone out there who genuinely thinks Reading are the real deal then think again. What football that was played came from Burnley. Gorkss's positioning for Austin's header was not even Sunday League. Robe...

Wizard No goals for Cywka according to Jonny Fordham - gentleman's agreement not to play tonight.

What? We own him outright. That's ridiculous!

In the 05/06 season, Ipswich 0-3 Reading. We went top of the league with that result and were never caught. That result was the one when I really felt as though we were contenders for the title. Probably the 96/97 or 97/98 season, Reading 3-3 Forest. Packed out Elm Park, Sky cameras in attendance. 3...

Stop trying to defend him he isn't good enough. If your saying give Church a go because he's low on confidence you can say that about ALF. Church has been given far more opportunities than ALF. Church does add anything if he is not scoring. Alf at least provides link play and assists when he's not ...

I was in the West stand on Saturday and I didn't hear any booing when Church came on and I was listening out for it. Anybody who did boo was certainly in the minority and unless they were sat right behind Church, I don't think he heard any of it. I was amazed by some of the chants the Cov fans came ...

Bloody good read. Until the last paragraph when it mentions about us revealing our transfer targets. NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD. Shows there is substantial money and an aim to get promoted soon. I think we'll all have to learn to go with the flow. As much as Madejski's ideals pleased a lot of Readi...

It didn't really matter to the outcome but ... After about 6 mins of the game the ball was threaded through to Roberts, who was clearly in an offside position. as the ball went past him he turned to chase it. The instant he turned and moved the flag went up for the offside. So where, pray tell, was...

loyalroyal4life 29 goals in 150apps?

His record in the PL isn't impressive, but he's a proven goal scorer in the Championship and below:

Pepe the Horseman Happy with this.

Just need to let Kebe and Roberts have a bare knuckle fight down at Hogwood to settle their differences.

Any more details on Roberts slating Kebe? I tried to find something on the net, but I'm useless with technology.

Even if it does all go belly up, then at the very least, we've got some money this window.

EDIT: And besides, there's no way SJM would announce it if he weren't certain of them having investors. He's not at all media savvy, but he's not that stupid.

Wouldn't mind seeing a 4-4-2 diamond. I think it would work best considering the number of players we have in each position. Leigertwood and Karacan can be interchangable. --------------------------Federici------------------------ ---Cummings------Pearce-------Gorkss------Harte--- -----------------...

The new group is not like SJM - they are a faceless consortium (TSI) which can go broke just like any other limited Company - we only know two people who work for this "group". By the same token though, having a group in charge spreads the load a bit. If one of the group is forced to sell...

I can't say I'm pleased by the association with Mr Ken "Dodgy as Fcuk" Bates. Agree with you on this. Although, Samuelson did say in the press conference that owning a club was 'a dream' for Anton Zingarevich. The attempted investment in Everton and the stake in Leeds may just have been h...

Zingarevich Jr. is believed to be a Zenit St Petersburg supporter. Speaking to Fontanka.ru (a St Pete based media outlet) the Russian stressed he aims to create “a profound outfit” at Reading. Make it so. Yeah, I would certainly like to see some profound football gracing the green grass of the Zing...

Does anybody know what time they'll be holding the press conference? I want to nip out of work to listen!

Obviously far too early to say. But i have a bad feeling about it all. I read all the juvenile outpourings on the TSI thread (all about which over-paid, over-rated players people were fantasising we'd buy, and how fast we'd get promoted, how long McDermott had until he was sacked etc) with a sinkin...

That possibly not a bad thing though, is it? If McDermott only has another 18 months, then maybe he'll be more inclined to push for the players he wants. So far he's probably not bothered too much, because he knows the answer. Now his voice carries more weight because the old 'we have no money to sp...

The deal isn't even close to being signed yet, the Daily Mail claim it's Russians, but we don't really know and even if we do end up in Russian hands, who is to say we'll end up like, Pompey, Leeds, etc? There are plenty of takeovers that are going very well, there's no reason to think ours won't fo...
