Saw them play Brighton yesterday. Dominated the game for large periods and were unlucky not to win. Brighton played a long-ball over the top game and rarely got through and looked nowhere near like a team who have only lost once this season. Rz will have to up their game to overcome Brentford who wi...

Powerful words Ian and I'm not going to disagree with much but instead offer an alternative view. It's just quite possible that when one is at the top of their profession or area of expertise and they perform to a level less than they are capable of, visible frustration and petulance - especially o...

Pretty much a good assessment of a situation that was obvious to most outsiders. Modern 'footballers' do often = up their own arse: over-precious, quite young (little wisdom or life experience), image-conscious individuals who have a penchant for self-promotion - way beyond any old team-ethic princi...

All football managers will have good and bad spells. All them will have tactical pluses and minuses. Not many of them these days act with a love for the club and its associates like Brian McDermott. I remember Brian's disconsolate and slow walk around the Wembley turf after we lost to Swansea in the...

Anyone who has managed in the Vauxhall McConference can take their 'skills' elsewhere.

If it's not Ian Branfoot then I'm ripping up my old South Bank ID card...

I want Infoot back.

Where the fck is Boris Mikhaelov when you need him?

Shame Clarke doesn't 'do' social media.

Shame, because he won't see this.

Dear Clarke,

You won't be missed. And fairly soon you won't even be remembered.

That's what you 'achieved' at Reading Football Club.

Yours etc.

Norfolk Royal Have we got anyone in the bushes at Harwich Ferry Terminal for when Bergkamp arrives as a foot passenger?

Yeah, Andy Bernal...

It's a real shame Mark Warburton and Davie Weir are happily ensconced in their new project at Glasgow Rangers. I watched Brentford quite a lot under Warburton - not knowing anything of him then as he had come into football from an earlier career in the City of London in the financial world. In a sho...

Putting it simply...yes! He's a miserable c u nt. Where's the carefree, corporeal and spherical joy? (For an example: Bobby Convey against Millwall, or Blakey stripping the Yam-Yams' defence apart up at Molinieux (sp.) in the same fixture sleeve...) (Anyone with less than full passion for our club -...

Herring, beautiful read as always. If you could perhaps get to a few more games and continue with your reviews on this portal it would certainly be most appreci8d. yours, sputz. That is very kind of you Sputz. I might shamble along for the fake hoops in a couple of weeks and if I don't get too ineb...

One of my infrequent visits to the Loyalty Dome this season. I have come to the conclusion that I don't really care in the least who is our manager. What I care about is the success of the team , and the club . In the years I have followed the Rz I have felt warm feelings for: Infoot, McGhee, Jim a...

Very sorry to see this gentleman come to the end of his days. Prior to my Reading days I saw Howard play out his latter days at St. Andrews in the colours of Birmingham City and I have to say he continued his graceful and skilful ways post-Goodison and his eventful times at Everton. May you rest in ...

Seems the bloke who did the Leeds game and calls us Reading Royals is back to stay. Is there no-one else who could do this more professionally? I thought they'd got rid of him after he played music to the Bradford pitch invader. But I m told we are now stuck with him. Unless I'm mistaken, this mani...

An improvement on the Leeds game. (Not hard, I'll agree.) For me we look like we have a promising group of players at the moment. What seems to be missing is a more urgent, faster-paced, pressing, passing game. (Much like Warburton had going at Brentford over the last couple of seasons and seems to...

I've enjoyed all of our spats with whomever over the years when the bile has risen. But we're not cut out for local rivalry. At our best at Elm Park we were supreme piss-takers, winding up so-called superior opposition when the armlock went our way. Have witnessed some nasty cross-county nonsense at...
