Re: Readings most underrated and overrated players are....

I thought Leigertwood was underrated personally. Think he did a lot of the unnoticed work in our midfield, but also feel like he's been overshadowed by the likes of Sidwell, Harper, Karacan etc over the years as well, probably because he didn't didn't move higher and/or wasn't an academy product. S...

Re: The squad in July

I wonder if Ejaria can light up League One or if he’ll be as useless as ever. I am guessing that he must be our highest paid player now. I am prepared to give him a chance this season but he needs to bring his A game. Not sure if the club will try to cash in while he still has a year left on his co...

Snowflake Royal We'll be playing Kingsley once the usual 9 injuries have stacked up.

Revive the Kingsley-Federici strike partnership.

Re: Rumour - Tom McIntyre

Pretty good defender prevented from being recognised as a great one by: 1) constant injuries 2) lack of pace 3) being adaptable enough to keep getting played out of position at LB or DM. I think McIntyre has the attributes to be great if given a partner with complementary skills and kept injury fre...

Re: Do the people of Reading care?

It's a transient population. We don't have loads of families who have lived for generations and worked in shipbuilding/other old industries. The area is a collection of commuter belt towns; a lot of residents have their first team and will go along and watch the local team if they're playing good f...

Re: New embargo incoming

Hope it's true. Appoint administrators, find a buyer, fcuk off Dai. L2 almost certain but all I really care about is a change in ownership right now. We'd recover. When we were in the Premier League, people said “relegation won’t be so bad, we’ll win more games, use academy players, and eventually ...

Re: Reading City FC

Have no interest whatsoever in Reading City or Scours Lane because of certainly personalities associated with Reading City.

Club for Chelsea fans who can’t afford or aren’t allowed to go to the Bridge.

Re: Do the people of Reading care?

The club is shit at attracting supports who aren't from a White British background. We have some fans from other backgrounds (even a few who have played for the first team - Obita, McIntyre , Loader) but fewer than you'd expect. Seems to me like you only get into the club if you are brought along b...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.0

I think we have as much potential as Brighton do to be honest. Reading and the metropolitan area around is in the top 12 largest population wise in the UK. Reading is the largest town in the UK and bigger than a good percentage of cities population and infrastructure wise, as big as Sunderland and ...

Re: New embargo incoming

There was no opportunity to cash in on Puscas before now, or Baldock at all. We also didn't have the chance to cash in on Richards or Osho. They both rejected sensible extensions and we didn't receive offers for them. Loader and Moore, yes. We had good offers for them that we should have accepted. B...

Re: RMOUR - Esneyder Mena

Colombian rb/rm 25 yo with next to no chance for a work permit. What a club we are. Have no idea if this is true of course, but the legalities are more straightforward than they used to be. He basically needs 15 points. Colombian top flight is a Band 4 competition, so that’s 6 points immediately. A...

Fearing the club might not even exist before the end of the season. League Two could be fun and a good chance for a ...

Prematurely calling it the worst appointment ever, comparing it unfavourably to appointing Glenn Hodd...
