I ask myself when was the last time I actually physically looked forward to a Reading game? Don't think I can even remember. If any other pastime made you feel like that then you'd definitely not spend 300+ quid on it.

Is there a single thing to be positive about, really?

RFC deserve all the mocking that's coming their way.

Club is an absolute shambles and totally unrecognisable from the one we had a decade ago.

Lurching from one calamity to the next like a blind kid playing Donkey Kong.

I quite like some of the Liverpool players but the club and fans are so utterly appalling that I can't wish for anything other than catastrophic defeat.

MoorgateRoyal He wins the player of the year, and chooses a picture of himself being taunted after missing a penalty he dived to win, to celebrate it. What a helmet.

Perfectly put. End of thread.

Maguire Who woke Hazard up? That was a brilliant goal.

It's almost like there's a major international tournament just round the corner.

Ha, all the better for the summer if the big players get back on form

*unless they're playing England of course

Who woke Hazard up? That was a brilliant goal.

It's an unbelievable achievement, definitely the biggest I've seen in football. The real difference between Forest and this era is, of course, the money. The PL is nowhere near as level a playing field as the First Division was back when Forest won the title. My biggest criticism of the PL has alway...

£300k for Ola John and I'd think about it.

£3M for a bloke who couldn't get in the 1st team? rofl

Some players you just don't like. I didn't like him.

Hawks are playing well.

I thought Hull looked extremely flat last night for a team aiming for promotion. Point taken that they're not in any danger of coming 3rd not dropping out of the p/os but they just seemed uninterested tbh. RFC played pretty well in the first half but really lost their way once Rakkels' penalty claim...

Agreed with your post, except Vardy's first yellow was an error. Not even a foul.

He deserves his ban for the dive and subsequent insults to the ref, though.

I don't even remember the foul so not disagreeing with you there.

I backed spurs at 3-1 after the Leicester game (Vardy's suspension, the form of Spurs, remaining fixtures, Leicester look tired). They did look very good last night albeit against a Stoke team who were already on the beach. Would've been a much sterner test five games into the season rather than fiv...

Might as well weigh in on this with a few observations: - Vardy's dive was so blatant and OTT I'm amazed people are defending it. Vardy knew exactly what he was doing and proper launched himself into the dive, Superman style. - Can't remember his first yellow but what I will say is that yellow cards...

Brian started off okay, some improvement on before, things looked to be - albeit slowly - heading in the right direction. It's kind of stalled a bit, some stuff performances, some unlucky ones, and a shame to see our own players rucking (a sign of problems? Or just heat of the moment idiocy?). Had ...

People clamouring for Brian to start youth players (and I don't think there's a single good reason to do this) are the same people who will use the subsequent inevitable defeat to beat him up with too. I'm amazed anybody is questioning the manager's position, it's totally mindless. I'd rather see y...

For the avoidance of doubt, I was really thinking of Blackman v Hull as our clear GOTS.

In fact i think it'd have a chance of winning a vote were it included as I don't think I've seen a goal like that before whereas we've all seen great pings in our time.

Royal With Cheese Personally, I'm wallowing in a world on meh at the moment.

Roll on next season.

No idea why anybody is paying the slightest bit of attention to this season anymore - it ended the night Palace beat us.

And I'll never understand the ire directed at Brian McDermott, totally mindless.
