Jose rated SC and he seems to be quite successful at this football manager malarkey, presumably SC learned a thing or two whilst assisting Jose and to the point where Jose said he would walk if CFC let SC go! Our team and club was, I believe, in a much worse state than many realised and building fr...

Good post. I agree Fact is, our players aren't bad at all and a better manager would get the best out of them a lot quicker. Yes we've been unlucky with our wingers being out, but we had wingers last season and our results were just poor. Even with our wingers out, a decent manager would still find...

McCleary will play less than 20 league games for us this season, he is too injury prone to rely upon to fix it all for us Quite. No surprise whatsoever however to see that he managed to play every minute for the Reggae Reggae Sauce in whatever summer tournament it was they excelled in. I put a bet ...

Gunter 6 - thought it was an improved performance from Gunter, but made no challenge to stop the cross for their second Why mention that but not the fact that he set up our goal? Because I am biased and I think he's shit. A half decent report A stupid answer which doesn't surprise me on here Credib...

tidus_mi2 Can't wait for school to start again, less topics like this.

My thoughts also

To all the Reading fans who lead the excellent singing in the East Stand, can I please make a humble plea. I know that for many years, there has been a song linking Sir John with Cilla Black but I see from the BBC news today that she has died today at the age of 72. Can we please show some respect ...

Liked and respected by his team mates who know him yet disliked and called arrogant by people who don't know him at all.
Talented player who although very inconsistent can be on his day very effective and being a reading player I hope he has a good season

He scored a screamer against Swansea last year too and then did nothing all year, seems to think its all about the preseason. Whenever I think of him I think of that goal away at Derby where we had already won the game and he bobbled the ball over the line and turned to the Reading crowd as if he h...

I'm just not sure why it was a major upset for the US to lose to Jamaica. If they go on past meetings then yes but on paper this Jamaican team were only slight under dogs if that. It wasn't. I'm from the US and many of our national team supporters (and media) don't really understand the game, espec...

I'm just not sure why it was a major upset for the US to lose to Jamaica. If they go on past meetings then yes but on paper this Jamaican team were only slight under dogs if that. Probably because USA are ranked 34 and Jamaica 76 in the world Fair enough, but I'm looking past that and looking at bo...

If you were Garath McCleary would you be told what to do by Aaron Kuhl? I'll let that one sink in and give you some time to think. If I was Garath McCleary I'd be trying to remember how to cross because he seems to have forgotten. If Kuhl was appointed captain by the manager, he won't be at this ti...

There is a big big difference between not having anyone to aim for and producing bad crosses . Bad crosses have been a particular blight on this season my view, a totally unacceptable one considering the quality these guys are supposed to have. All season long I have seen the following, with or wit...

So you admit McCleary has to take some blame for poor crossing but you are only going to single out Obita for it and call him the worst player on the pitch? None at all is definitely not good enough for someone playing as an out and out WINGER . When you say Obita "took double the amount of cro...

3points If anyone is to blame it would be Gunter for allowing Sanchez so much room and get the shot away. He's been doing it all season. HOWEVER, Gunter had a decent game and I'm not blaming him. Marking Sanchez is a tough gig for 120 minutes. He did well.

But you decided to mention it anyway

It's a poor effort to support Fed by highlighting other similarly important errors. Something that really doesn't need a new thread and just ends up looking petty, small minded and negative after a great performance. My thoughts exactley Ian I guess snowball thought he was being clever but in the e...

I can definitely see the argument for Lita being more talented than Long, just as Drenthe was more talented than McAnuff. Long would never be able to score some of the goals Lita has scored. He just doesn't strike a ball as well. But he's faster, more focused, more determined, more composed. I know...

Even if he didn't use the N-Word, that level of hate isn't "banter" if you saw that in a pub you'd call it race-hatred BTW, WTF did McCleary do to warrant so much aggression? Racial abuse is usually not warranted so NOTHING, Except for the fact that he had already assisted and scored and ...
