Re: Ovie Ejaria

I suspect there is a lot about him that we will not find out for a few years, if ever. Every thing about his final months at Reading indicate a man who had serious mental issues. So, maybe people should give him a bit of slack.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Well, if the BBC is to be believed we currently sit top of the table on -6 points! So it's all to play for on Saturday.

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

I appreciate that what this thread actually means is "what we, the fans, would like priorities to be". The truth is that the owners will have different priorities. Number one will be to get the finances sorted out so that the club is sustainable. Literally everything else is dependent on t...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I've taken a few days to process the situation and I still feel a little uneasy about the group who have supposedly been given exclusivity. I haven't read the past ten or so pages, so some of this may have come up already. If it is Chiron Sports Group, their website notes they're funded by Apeiron ...

Re: SJM interview on Radio Berks

Hound I expect he still has contact with Howe. Be surprised if Dai sold for £20m atm but slightly encouraged by SJM bandying that figure

I stand to be corrected but didn't Sunderland go for about £25m? 20 sounds a fair deal.

Re: Oliveira traing with Reading

Norwich have just signed a new Swiss international striker from Germany, so that knocks Oliveira even further down the pecking order. Hopefully, the further down he goes the pecking order, the more likely the want and urgency to do so by Norwich to get him off their books will be..time will tell No...

GOALKEEPERS A. Jaakkola - lose S. Walker - Lose L. Ward L. Southwood RIGHT BACKS A. Yiadom - definitely retain C. Gunter - keep unless someone is interested, in which case lose. T. Watson - useful back-up but could go on loan LEFT BACKS J. Obita - let's see if he can return to form and fitness T. Bl...

Re: BFTG Boro Home

Enjoyable performance despite the loss. The academy lads are testament to the poor recruitment policy in recent years. At least the team as a whole today played with a real spirit and tenacity. Full of character. Blackett has looked a different player in recent weeks. Lacked a target man upfront i....

Oh for a creative midfield player who can, calmly, pick out a pass and deliver it right to the perfect place. You know, a bit like Ollie Norwood. What if we had a player like that in our team.... oh, wait .......

26 year old Blackpool defender. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/qpr-and-reading-among-the-chase-for-26-year-old/ Clement must see Reading as having big defensive issues as it seems defenders are all the club are being linked with currently, despite the vastly bigger problems of not being able to ...

Re: Alternative to STAR?

Get rid of the entire lot of them the spineless bunch of oxf*rd. I'd rather play a youth team than this lot of grossly overpaid useless mercenaries .

Is this normally, a goalkeeping coach making these decisions? Beasen...
