I went to Napoli with a group of friends at Easter. One of my mates, who is mixed race, wasn't welcomed by the locals at all.... on 3 seperate occasions over the weekend we were told that "you Americans are ok, but the negro must leave otherwise we kill him". I'm sure they'd be like Momo t...

Has anyone ever seen Vaz Te and Snowball in the same room?

The fact is, he reckons he was fit on Saturday. If that was the case, he SHOULD have at least made the bench on Saturday. Why should he? He reckons he's only been fit for the past week or so.....he hasn't been "fit" to play since March ffs! No pre-season, no games..... Last night would ha...

So Jimmy says "I will never refuse to train or play"....except for the last time he wanted to move clubs.

Also from that interview, he expects to walk into the team the moment he decides that he is fit, despite not having played since March.

Jimmy hasn't been shy in letting his feelings be known about McDermott's departure (apparently). I was told by someone at the club that, not long after Adkins appointment, he said he'd never play for Reading again. :( Good luck to him. Hope we get a good price for him. That exactly mirrors what I'v...

Jimmy declard himself unfit on monday morning. He said Jimmy could had helped Reading stay up if he was fit, he was fuming. Why do you think Jimmy is angry. He was fit for Saturday but not chosen. A bit odd that thats his only defence for such a terrible performance He was told (on Friday) that he'...

MmmMonsterMunch See ya later then Jimmy. Hope those who slate Guthrie will now judge Jimmy by the same standards!

This. Won't happen though, it'll be Adkins' fault, no doubt.

just to clarify, I am not calling for Adkins head here. This season has similarities to the brief Rodgers era in that many of us got excited about a new footballing philosophy. Adkins is similar to Rodgers in that he has a strong belief in his philosophy and that it will work at Reading. It just fe...

Tamworth_Royal How many Peterborough players will we sign on deadline day Over to you Hammond

So who is Hammond watching this evening at Loftus Road? Anyone at QPR or Swindon we want?

ZacNaloen In that he's trying to change the footballing style at the club and fans don't have the patience for that change to take place?

yep.

This.

A win on Saturday and this evening will be forgotten as quickly as people have already forgotten the football we played in the first half against Watford.

we're also taking a look at a young striker from Glenavon FC this week as well.

2-3

3 down at half-time, we improve in the second half but not enough to get anything from the game

Double-bluff, i reckon! :wink: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8868301/andre-villas-boas-keeping-jermain-defoe-and-gylfi-sigurdsson-at-spurs Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has ruled out selling Jermain Defoe and Gylfi Sigurdsson. The futures of Defoe and Sigurdsson have been the subj...

Adkins wants them to play with the CBs splitting when we have the ball, allowing the full backs to push on. I thought Gorkks looked comfortable with this approach at Ashton Gate; perhaps Mariappa is taking longer to adjust? This is the most obvious explanation to me. Mariappa is a good defender, bu...

royalZILLAAA Things could be worse, ask Donny Fans

That's very clever marketing from Donny. Think how many shirts they'll sell.

A striker in the mould of Shane Long in form, running channels and challenging (Hunt being an excellent example of a guy doing better in the air than he looks. Add that to someone that can hold the ball up, bring others into play and create then we have what Pogrebnyak was meant to do. This. Provid...

Webb and Sanchez had good careers. I'd add Ady Williams to that list of successful youth products too. From the era in whcih he came through, he played professional football for the best part of 15-20 years at a decent level.

Wycombe Royal

Reading4eva Were Plymouth in contention for the title

Are Yeovil or Ipswich? There are 46 matches this season not 2 or 3. We are nearly always slow starters.

Exactly. 12 points from our first 10 games last time in the Championship.

Sounded very frustrated in that interview - was more defensive in it than some of his post-match interviews with Dellor last season.

Just in the past few days there are quite a few rumours (on Twitter) of Eren Derdiyok going to FC Turin......plus the odd Sunderland rumour.

Possible?
