I find it hard to believe everyone bar royalrother and 11th earl are taking this spin at face value. I don'T think these negotiations are over. I think russo is trying to embarass the deal out of us. Get the Reading fans on the club's back and watch all the clauses melt away. I couldn't comment on ...

Depends whether he'd drive to work or not

I've looked at the statistics and can confirm teams usually do worse away than at home.

I have to say it's the timing of this one that makes it stands out - top job. The other two you don't get a chance to read the witicisms about Ronaldo being the best player in the world and beating Chelsea and Arsenal yah da yah da yah. For a moment I did think Hitler had been reborn and dropped pai...

I've got a feeling this will go one of two ways.

My mate went to see the Charlton game. First comment: "Is Lita that lazy for Reading?" "Fell over" a lot. Apparently against a not so tall centre-half was dropping off him everytime hoping it would fall to him rather than trying to mix it up a bit and challenge him at some points...

Uke Could be a great chance for the team to bond without disruptive 'characters' pissing on the party

Yeah, I heard Alan Bennett is an animal.

It's penis-patting all over again. At least they're not doing it in front of the crowd this time.

Phil Whitehead saving the ball from going out for a corner against Oxford only to present it to the striker that was standing in front of an empty goal. We won 4-3, IIRC, so could laugh at it.

Alex McLeish on BBC after the Birmigham match said that we've got players that have been in the Premier League for three seasons now (though if I misheard I'm xenophobically blaming his accent). Does that mean we are actually suffering from third season syndrome?

Who needs two strikers on the bench versus Arsenal? Who drops a substitute striker that scored off the bench last time out? Who says a talented player "needs a rest" when they actually need a kick up the ar*e? I think we should be grateful for a decent, honest manager rather than one that ...

How'd Harps score?

1633: A miserable afternoon for Reading is summed up when Stephen Hunt finds himself in a good position in the box but allows the ball to dribble over his foot.


All I can take from this is a slight snigger at the BBC reporter's surname.

1630: "Reading look out of sorts, something's going on there and I can't quite put my finger on it."

Insightful

Damage limitation. 2-0 is better than 3-0 after all.

Calm down. As long as we're only the fourth most inept team we'll be fine.

There must have been money involved - I think in the rush they said swap deal and journos took that to be no money but then have clarrified on the OS as undisclosed. This was in the Inde before deadline. "Fulham were also trying to finalise a deal with Reading which would have meant Liam Roseni...

I suspect it was just to get it off their chest. Remember that at no point in the season did the fans turn on him during a match despite his refusal to sign a contract. No the fans have said their peice I expect him to be welcomed back next time against Reading - assuming he gets a run-out for newly...

Everything is for the best in this best of possible worlds.
