It really feels to me that we’re a couple of signings away from an awesome team. Two lapses of concentration and a fluke goalkeeping error were what undid us today. Apart from the first ten minutes of the second half we looked nine tenths there towards being of a really excellent side. I’m feeling p...

Sir Dodger Royal Sheffield United's offer was full of add ons. It wasn't cash up front. Real Facts.

Let's just enjoy SDR imparting information without his usual anti-Madejski editorial. A first in the nine years or so I've been on here.

Ayr United fan as a boy (early 80s), then moved to North East and went to Roker Park or St. James', lived in Brighton (mid 80s) and went to the Goldstone, brother used to live in leeds and went to Elland Road. Moved to Reading December 31st 1999. First game (out of curiosity) March 2000. STH since 2...

I so hope SJM understands that so many of the people who post on here have the attention span of toddlers.

Your're a strange chap royalee. One minute I think you spout some of the worst rubbish on here (diatribes against Sir Steve). Next minute I'm inspired by your vision about Rodgers. I like you more when you talk about he future rather than the past. Three games into a massive and much needed change f...

LOL at anyone who will tear up their season ticket if we get relegated.

A goal would be nice, and they will come.

Well, maybe it’s just me, but I enjoyed that. I get a bit bored of winning all the time. If it’s Christmas every day, it’s no fun anymore. I felt more involved tonight – every time the Swans attacked it mattered. I have faith. I love this club. I chose to support my local team, not because they were...

Surley one of the greatest singings in the club's history. The club's scouting network found a promising young player off football's beaten track. For a stupendously low fee, we sign you - one for the years to come, we all thought. But opportunity in the form of injury presented itself, and you took...

£4 million was available for Lescott. When he chose Everon, Coppell didn't just find the next best layer to spend it on, it went back into the kitty. The money, for the right players at the right price, was there, in proportion to where we were as a club. That's now less, as next year if we miss pro...

The Quiet Stand
The Posh Stand
The Silent Stand
The Away End

No point in getting sentimental. Football's a tough business. Rodgers clearly knows the team he wants around him and the team he wants on the pitch.

Thanks Kunle. All the best.

Player of the season until November this year - total waste of a good shirt thereafter. When he arrived at Reading his role was coming on for Bobby in the last 15, just to run at the opposition and annoy them. Somehow he developed into an (intermittently) good player. Then developed far too high an ...

Boro
Reading

Cardiff (via playoffs)

and Barcodes to struggle and finish lower mid table.

Impossible choice - like choosing between losing yuor left or right arm - both ledgends to whom we all owe a massive vote of thanks.

Dellor to stay, but maybe Murty to alternate with Gooding.

Like when Parky left, you feel a bit gutted, but life does move on you know. He'll be kissing the badge at any new club he signs for, and quite right.

I've been trying: I mean really putting some effor into it, but I just cannot think of anything I care less about than a bunch of ill-informed and semi-rabid Watford fans expressing their displeasure. We did an honest deal in exactly the right way (completley different from the West Ham and Judas de...

Thanks RR, just the quote I was thinking of.

Which I was to lazy to look for, and relied upon my poor memory...

BUt I don't think he did say "I'm 100% committed." Was it not more alng the lines of "for the moment I'm the Watford manager and that's what I'm focused on." Not quite the same. Watford are bound to feel p1ssed off. Good. Never liked them anyway. Viva Brendan Rodgers! Viva Readin...

These are what I think are the priorities for Reading, in order: 1 - stay viable as a club - don't overspend, don't go into adminstration, don't get sold to some dodgy cartel of oligarchs to avoid dissapearing 2 - stay in the Championship - finishing no lower than 14th for a few seaons 3 - play attr...

How many of the managers intersted in us would have the option of another club with wads of cash? There are only a handful of clubs with real spending power - the Big four, Man City, if they could be bothered QPR, but after that, we must be a pretty good bet. A chairman that doesn't interfere, great...
