Steve Claridge's view: "If you compared their squad to Southampton and West Ham you would say that they will finish third. They are not over-achieving, they are just squeezing every ounce of what they have got."

Top top analysis from a top top tosser.

Not to worry, it's the typical Reading fan's fear every season - no matter what.

Now you can have a horrible feeling about next season... (but enjoy yourself for now!)

Spot yourself - Chili's there at the front

Looks like a Reading version of the Sergeant Pepper's album cover...

Nigel Quashie.

We win. The rest can take care of itself.

Depending on what wages we'd be prepared to pay I wouldn't mind us making a move for Bendtner. Not quite prolific but has played a lot of games for Arsenal and has a fair amount of quality. He's looking for a Prem club close to London by all accounts and would cost apx £4m. Dont you know why he too...

Not that I'm in the country but, since Di Canio's arrival do the trains to Swindon run on time?

The (former) owner of Gold Coast is a great big fat bustard. Good riddance.

Reading manager Brian McDermott has admitted he wants to get the club back into the Premier League – but if they fail he hopes his players earn moves there. In recent times the Royals have seen Kevin Doyle and Shane Long amongst others fly the nest to Premier League clubs after learning their trade...

Hairdressing bills through the roof! No thank you.

Charlton 2-1 away in the Weewater Cup on 23/8/11........

No, but really: Reading 0 Port Vale 3 in season 97/98. There's inept and then there's inept.

Flippin' 'eck.

Teams that get "good" players on long loans from the PL could do quite well.

Just depends which players you get!

He was with our club for over 10 years and, for the most part, never says anything disparaging about the club since leaving.

That's decent enough, and I wish him well.

No.

Reading under Rodgers were going down. So what he does with Swansea 8 months (and a season) later doesn't really mean anything.

Hey, bubba, where you put dat crayon? Big talk, nothing to say. Typical glory hunter.

Yep, quicker even than your usual effort, s u n n y j i m.

Whoever gets to stove your childish little head in first, bubba. You very big bwoy.....zzzzzzz.

Hey, bubba, what the faaaack would you know about a life?

You're a oxf*rd and you'll always be a oxf*rd. Such is life.
