Because the style of football BM played was utter dog shit.

Marlon King is a horrible man but I would sign him as he is very good at holding the ball up. They have said he can go for free as his wages are so high. Curtis Davies too please, we should have signed him in the summer.

He's 21 years old, what is wrong with that. Let Brian sign who he wants to sign, this player is probably a bit like Leg but probably better.

W&E Royal You shouldn't just pick a player that you like and make a spaculation thread. Surely speculation is when you see a rumour that is in the paper?

No, that would be a rumour. This is speculation.

Speculation of his own making, we can do that with thousands of players??? It's pointless.

You shouldn't just pick a player that you like and make a spaculation thread. Surely speculation is when you see a rumour that is in the paper? Otherwise I could start loads, I like RVP, Ronaldo and Casillas to name three.

Just read that he has a £3.5m release clause written into his contract and hence QPR are weighing up a bid. If that is true, then I don't see why we can't put in a bid too. Would be just what we need. Strong, box to box type player. You silly bugger. If QPR can weigh up a bid, don't see why we can'...

Yes because he's going to come isn't he.

USA_Loyal_Royal feds
shorey, mariappa(if morrison cant play), pearce, cummings
mcanuff, tabb, guthrie, HRK
pog, alfie

Why would you swap the full backs? I'm not sure Shorey could swap over.

Royal Ginger Does it really matter?

I'd go for:
--------------------------Henly--------------------------
Arnold-----McDonald-----Hector-----Partridge
Webb--------Losasso----------Taylor--------Obita
------------------Samuel-----Ugwu--------------------

McDonald, Hector, Ugwu and Taylor are out on loan.

If we are going to concentrate on crosses in the box we really need wingers that can accurately cross..... Legs was terrible , we need a defensive cm in Jan Morrison is a decent player but he's learning his trade in the premier league where small individual mistakes are costing us points (diving he...

Taylor is terrible, i'd rather play Sal Bibbo. Can't we play Mikkel Andersen? Fairly sure we didn't register Andersen. Don't know if we did but would be surprised if we didn't as we only have 25 overage players on our books. It would seem silly not to. Andersen is indeed on our squad list. Play him...

Taylor is terrible, i'd rather play Sal Bibbo. Can't we play Mikkel Andersen?

Marek Matejovsky has the best footballing-brain of anyone who has ever played for Reading. There were so many times he would read the game so quickly and pick out a killer pass that wasn't expected by anyone(fans and players alike), unfortunately his team mates just couldn't read what he was doing ...

Toon Toon Blue army Are we forgetting this?

Jimmy Crawford scored a goal for us.

Royal Tezza Just announced he is off on loan this week, we need cover in CM, any chance of this happening or is it not possible for him to platly due to the 25 rule?

Transfer window doesn't open till January.

Marek Matejovsky is one of the most overated players to ever play for Reading. Danny Guthrie is worth TEN Marek Matejovsky's. Did all these fans that loved him ever notice he hardly scored a goal, never created an assist? Also how many fouls did he concede?? Most of the time they then lead to an opp...

I like him. I think he's better than Cummings. On another note, just seen HRK in Sainsbury's Winnersh, parking in a parent and child space

Bored of Reading FC and bored of Brian McDermott.

I don't care if we're shit, I've seen us be shit loads, i just want him to play his best team. 4-1 today to QPR.

Owen Hargreaves.

So far on the 'back from the game' thread: Pearce - 8 best of the back 4 Pearce- - 8- Best defender on the pitch, looked awesome, really held his own Pearce - 8 superb display, won everything in the air and some crucial tackles Pearce - 7 - a couple of great tackles It's about time we gave this 23 y...
