Norwood's pass to Blackmam in build up to the fourth goal was truly superb - not sure I've seen one better by a Reading player

5 goals in 41 games for Bournemouth is hardly the most impressive record

The sale of Pog was out of the blue. Took a number of months to get sorted i understand. Discussions between the clubs went on for a long time. Yep, but the club played their cards close to their chest - wasn't as if Watts or anyone else had mooted the move. I'm positively hoping that they're doing...

Rapid were never going to sell before finding out if they'd qualified for the CL group stage, so all these 'Hammond/Clarke/the Thais dallied' comments are pretty redundant. The sale of Pog was out of the blue and we've brought in 7 or 8 players already this summer. Think it's pretty clear that we're...

0-3 at home to West Ham. Ouch.

GOAL!

sounds like we've made a good start, well done Sa!

Just missed a last-minute sitter for Rapid to qualify

European Super Cup final has been great viewing, 4-4 with a couple of minutes to go...

Probably my least favourite Reading player of all time. Has achieved nothing at the club yet claims he doesn't have anything to prove, which smacks of arrogance. Two moments stick out for me: Brighton away on Boxing Day (as alluded to previously on the thread, when he aptly demonstrated his selfishn...

From Despair To Where? Yeah, but according to Brighton fans, they're bigger than Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich rolled into one.

Which is fair enough, I mean have any of those three been in an FA Cup final?

Away on the first day, Boxing day and last day, thanks FL...

RoyalAuzzie Apparently it's gonna be Birmingham away

Well played sir

Good player, excellent last night, but has now got to start doing it a) regularly and b) against good sides. It's all well and good scoring wondergoals against Norwich, WBA and Slovenia, but have yet to see anything much against Chelsea/United/City, in big CL games or at an international competition.

Saw a stat last night that Bale (widely criticised) and Hazard (best season of his career) have the same number of goals and assists this season, but Bale has played fewer games. Interesting to see how they're compared, but guess that's the pressure of playing for a top team.

Martin Williams would be my guess

Bizarrely Charles Watts has put this on to getreading, obviously missed the joke...

Floyd, this is a tough one. When Blackman and Akpan are only poor enough for the 'Other' bench, you know the competition is stiff. I like Drenthe's appalling attitude and lack of commitment, but similarly admire Ferdinand's ability not to miss a single episode of Homes Under the Hammer due to any i...

Snowball Hard to say what the Yak could still do
but the goal he got at Derby was class
and I don't think any of our other striker
would have scored it.

Why do snowball's posts
Invariably sound like
Really crap haikus?
