Re: Who was Reading's 'tidiest' ever player?

This ones got Darius Wdowczyk written all over it. When all around were losing their heads during an opposition raid he with ice cool aplomb would acquire possession and send a 40 yard ball on a sixpence (oh the memories?). Well that's how I remember him and I`m sticking to it. Tidy man. Agreed. No...

Re: The real big cock-ups

Barry the bird boggler Reading didn't see the benefits in keeping Jimmy Hill, Sam Bartram or Peter Osgood.


Weren't we close to getting Neil Lennon, too?

I recall him being dropped by Leicester (?) for a mid-week game at Elm Park because we were about to sign him.

Re: Jason Roberts...Do you sometimes find him annoying?!

Not everyone is going to like the extra media attention Roberts brings us, particularly when the going gets tough as it inevitably will in the Premiership. I was a little concerned about all his meida commitments when he joined us but I don't think they affected his perfomance which I guess is the m...

Re: Ade Williams

Adie Williams. Lovely bloke, awful radio broadcaster. You're listening to {pause} aRadio Barkshear, stay tuned for coverage of {pause} aReading versus Millwall. And the way he says Birmingham REALLY gets on my nerves. Derby 0, Berminum 2. Lets be honest, he really hasn't got a radio voice has he? L...

Re: Reading FC villains

Michael Meaker. Probably the most over-rated, overpaid and sh1te player ever to wear the hoops John Hasledon. His answer to every injury was to send players on a 10 mile run. Just ask Stuart Beavon Charlie Hurley. For shattering the dreams of a then 13 year old And if we can include opposing player...

Berkshire Born No mention of Bikey? He must have been up there prior to his ban?


I think it would be difficult for many to pick him out as one of the top 20 when he cant hold down a place in his club side.


I take your point but would still argue he's a better player than some others on that list.
