Lita is opportunistic. If a Premier league club looks to sign him he will go. Otherwise, he will stay

Re: I am officially bored of Stephen Hunt

Some fans have no loyalty. Hunt is a big reason for last seasons success, and also for us staying up this year. His finishing is weak, his crossing is suspect, and his passing isn't world class, but the lad has heart. He wants to win more than anyone on the team, and he shows it with how he throw hi...

He did, and he recently scored two more, so he is at 12 goals in 11 games. Johnson has loads of potential, but I don't like his work rate on the pitch.

1.) Hahnemann 2.) Hislop 3.) Death Hahnemann got us to the premiership, which is the greatest feat for a keeper in Reading history. Hislop and Death are close, but I put Hislop higher because of what he did in the premiership after us, which is probably the wrong reason to put him there. Anyway, thi...

Look at it this way. If Shorey is our worst player yet he is getting into the England squad. What does that say about the rest of our players! They must be oxf*rd brilliant. Well, as Shorey was graded as one of the worst players in the league, using that logic, every team is oxf*rd brilliant. Then....

Sodje still might be a decent player, but we don't need him. West Brom can have him...if they still want him.

I don't think Derby has any chance of staying up, and I honestly don't think Birmingham or Sunderland have much of a chance either. Of course, it is early to make predictions.

It is our job as fans to be wildly optimistic and unrealistic in our expectations. As such, in the second year of the premiership, the league is ours!

The saves per game stat is silly - it means that a keeper playing behind a good defence will look worse than a keeper behind a bad defence, because the latter will face more shots. Better to have a save percentage - as they do in, for instance, the NHL - so you can see what proportion of shots a ke...

No idea what 'saves per game' means, why do we have so many rubbish and spurious 'statistics' in the game ? I'd agree that David James would be a candidate for the keeper of the season, but Foster has been excellent behind a clueless defence. Assuming we can use the old fashioned method of judging ...

So, two players not from the big 4 made it: Shorey and Foster. Foster does not make sense to me. He played in 29 games for the worst team in the Premiership. His average saves per game were 5.8. Hahnemann's are 6.6. This being said, I don't think Hahnemann deserves it. Instead, I'd give the award to...

Any one of Doyle, Shorey, Hahnemann, Ingimarsson would have been fine with me. V difficult to choose. Based on the start of the season, I'd go with Doyle or Sonko, but they did not play in enough games to be considered. Shorey and Ingimarsson were rocks throughout the season. Either one of them is ...

What a fickle lot...Sonko played fabulously before his injury. In fact, I would have rated him our best player up to that time. I dare say I'm not alone. Of course we miss him. How can we forget how much we praised him at the start?

What is this rubbish about his throw being worthless? It gives forwards more time to react too, and throwing the ball far into the box is a dangerous situation. Besides, it causes defense to shift back, giving more space on the wing for short throws. Halford's throw is a dangerous weapon. To argue o...
