Re: Coppell - Can He Save Us???

Average manager who got lucky with the 05/06 team, and was then thoroughly found out once that team started to break up. Royals legend, but nothing special. I sometimes wonder what planet you are on!! Coppell took the team to the Premiership and moulded a record breaking team. His desmise was no fa...

Re: Back from the game - Watford (h)

Very diappointing result after the first 10 minutes and another dire second half performance when their keeper was barely tested. Cumming has to be one of the worst signings ever. Twice in the second half he was badly caught out of position and just ambled back--you never saw Murts going that! Total...

Re: Brendan - FFS Just End It...

Rosenior's currently showing his worth on BBC2, Lita can't get a game for Boro, Harding's plying his trade in League 1. Coppell hardly left us a legacy, did he? Lita can't get a game for a Middlesborough team in serious decline; Harper to Sheff U - they start losing! Rosenior to Ipswich - guarantee...

Re: Are the kids alright?

To be honest most of the have looked out of their depth and it is not surprising really when you consider most of them played on loan last season at clubs in Div 1 and Div 2. The constant changing of he team, formation and tactics has not helped. Gylfi looks very good but even he is being played out...

Re: 2009 - Annus Horribilis

Have to say this has to be one of the dumpest years ever as a Reading fan. You might say "ah but we got relegated in 2008", but that happens and you can bounce back, and in the first half of the 2008/9 season we were making a fist of getting back up and were scoring for fun. In the calend...

Re: How many games has Rogers got left?

Arnie_Pie He should have until January at the earliest.

If we are in the relegation zone then, get rid and chuck some cash at someone else.

Anyone that thinks he should go now is an utter utter moron.


a double whammy--perhaps a new owner and new Manager by the New Year??

Re: Back from the game

By far and away the best performance of the season and to be fair a good entertaining game. I liked the midfield combination and Marek had his best game to date. The only thing missing was there was no width so the middle got very congested at times. Their goal came completely out of the blue and to...

Re: Back from the game..... Donny Rovers

We never looked like losing this game and to be fair Sullivan pulled of two or three ing saves. I think O'dea could be a class player and Howard had a reasonable debut. I'll reserve judgement on Cummings as he really has no support from Kebe. In fact the absence of any telling wing play or crosses i...

I'm sure they are very nice people and all that but Ryn and Tilehurst Mike represent everything I detest about (some) modern football supporters. "I've paid my money, now if the club don't do what I think they should do with it, I'm going to jump up and down and stamp my feet in frustration!&q...

Main concern is that we have too many fans who want instant success Speak for yourself. That comment is total garbage. I have been watching the team since the early 60's and the club has been in existence since 1871. To expect and hope for more than a couple of years in the Premiership is not askin...

SDR has taken a call from the Madhouse and I gather Brenda has resigned. RFC now trying to persuade him not to leave. Will he do a U Turn just like Tommy Smith? Can it get any worse? YES. Probably bottom after defeat on Saturday at Oakwell. Emmmmmmmmmmm Did you watch the madman on BBC 4 last night?...

Re: Brenda says it will take two or three years!

Well I am not surprised by what has happened in the first two games when we have sold off all our prized assets and look like failing to act until it is too late in the transfer window. Why do we insist on failing to play our 'big money ' signings when we do capture them?? Not that I am that inspire...
