As infuriated as I was with the referee yesterday (and he was the worst I have seen since our Championship days) I have to make a few comments regarding the recent posts on SC and team selection. SC will pick the strongest players he has for the job in hand from the squad of players available. He kn...

Surely people remember Starship - We built this city.

It seemed to be on loop for about 4 seasons in the mid 80s!

I am not in the least bit worried about last night. If other people are, then I strongly reccomend they take in a reality check. What I don't like is the slating that some people on here are dealing out to Long. He is an amazing talent and is still in development. He is hungry and industrious and al...

Sorry, but Kits tackle was a Red card. The ref was Styles and we were at Old Trafford, neither of which helped, but it was still a red card. I think one of the dissapointing things for him being injured for most of last season is that he hasnt had as much a chance as others to adapt to Premiership l...

I hate them, but we shouldnt really take it out on Cech - even if he does look like a right spacker... Better to put some songs together that slate their arrogant fans and tw*t manager... The ambulance sound is, although quite childish, an amusing idea though. Bottom line is..I really, really hope w...

We will finish 10th.

No other teams matter.

Aint got no superstars, Aint got no fame Aint got no millions, No well known names Aint got no respect, Aint got no credit Aint got no previous...... But theres something Ive got There is something I've got There is something I've got Nobody can take it away.. I've Got my Murts, Got my Shorey Got my...

I am incensed by the idiots on here who have suggested that 25,000 is about enough capacity for Reading fans. I have a Season ticket myself but I have 3 brothers who have followed this club for years since the late 70s, who now live away from Reading, cannot afford a season ticket but would love to ...

handbags_harris Lasagne!! Wooooh!
Lasagne!! Wooooh!
We laughed ourselves to bits!
When Tottenham had the shits!!

(I do NOT claim this particular chant as my own, but it's bloody hilarious!)

QUALITY - SING IT!!!!

Understand his concerns but this is nonetheless dissapointing for fans. And who knows possibly even for players. I dont see why he couldn't use squad players for FA and UEFA and then stick a youth team in the 1st League Cup game. If you think of the various breaks for internationals - particularly t...

Hunty, if you are reading this old chap then I hope you dont mind me politely requesting to see a little less flash, and a lot better basics.

I honestly thought Seol had a decent game last night - lots of tackling back, good passing, excellent shot on goal. Admittedly he was outshone somewhat by his fellow midfielders, with Sidders Gunnar and Oster having excellent games. Having said all that, ignoring Coppell when he came off is unforgi...

I would just like to add that at Reading we have some of the hardest working individual players in English football. If a player like Seol gives anything less than 110% he will stand out like a sore thumb. That said, how it took Coppell 67 minutes to substitute him tonight is a total mystery to me. ...

A couple of points: Having watched it a few times, when Warnock makes his kicking gesture, Halsey has his back to him and Warnock isn't even looking in his direction. Sidwell's tackle was arguably not even a foul. His foot made contact at pitch level and Warnock'd gesture is not remotely similar to...

I dont see a need for panic purchases, and I agree with Woodcote. Just wanted to say that whilst SC gets a lot of praise for the development of DLC and Bikey into quality players, its appropriate to also praise Wally Downes. If you think of the development of Sonko, Ingimarson and Gunnarson, (not to...

All this nonsense from Warnock about shirt pulling though. From the evidence of MOTD, Gillespie ran on and immediately gave Hunt a shove, presumably verbals ensued and then Gillespie quite deliberately elbowed Hunt in the face at the second attempt. Gillespie gets involed in a bit of handbags and C...

Abolish the license fee immediately. The best parts of the BBC would easily survive with private finance - provided by advertising and maybe a govt grant. Oh yes..and the rest (probably about 60%) will be back, where they all belong.. in the fuc k ing dole queue!!

oxf*rd*S!!!!!

My point was more that this is becoming a frequent part of football and its not being dealt with by referees. I didnt state in the original post that Chelsea were that bad yesterday, they certainly have been worse in the past, but you have to admit Lampard went down very very easily for the free kic...

I want to start by saying I felt Mike Riley was truly awful yesterday. Nevertheless we are now in a situation in football where players (especially in the premiership) seem intent, almost every game in some cases, to use simulation to fool referees and win games. My view is that the Football Associa...

What made me laugh was that during the 'handbags and plastic bottles' at 20 paces (after the match in Y26) when you looked at the Reading bunch, they were mostly in the 15 - 25 age bracket. Teenagers and boys having a bit of a laugh. When you looked over at the Chelsea thugs it seemed to be 25 - 40 ...
