Yeah, looks a good side BUT we all know waht happens when a lot of players are put together without the 'team' play recently. Could be a lot of individuals out there on Saturday. I still think the odds for Reading are VERY generous. Might not come off but I reckon we could be in for a smashing game...
Boot Tom hark & have selected music if certain players score. Music for the song we sing for certain plaers anyway. eg: I reckon a rendition of Daddy Cool should De La Cruz score again would go down a treat. I can understand why so many people hate Tom Hark, but not a drummer. it keeps the noise...
I find it astonishing that Reading fans can now talk about us as having any chance of knocking Man.Utd out of the FA Cup. How times have changed.......... Still won't happen though................a bit of a reality check I'm afraid. I agree. Somebody on this thread said that they thought 8/1 was a ...
I don't. For the league game it made sense - for a one off it doesn't. All this 'its a one off' because its a cup tie is utter rubbish. Its just an old cliche. Every single game is a one off unless its over 2 legs. A premiership season is a series of 38 'one off' games isn't it? As SC says, we appr...
No, Coppell will not put out a significantly stronger side. Look at his record so far - the man stays true to his course. I think we will play our fringe players, but i would disagree that Coppell stays 'True to his course'. Coppell stated earlier in the season that we would not be changing our tac...
Here's something to consider if you fancy us to pull off a shock at Old Trafford. over the last 3 seasons there have been over 170 premiership matches where a big 4 team has been at home to a non big 4 team. The away team has won on just 2 occasions. :? that sounds almost unbelievable which two tea...

We're in row 29. I see Marky is in 31. Near the back presumably? Hopefully. A Chelsea fan I know that went there for their cup game a couple of years ago thinks it was 35 rows high. Near the back is a very poor view. I sat a few rows from the back for England v Wales & you cant see most of the ...

This has been evident ever since Coppell took over, not just this season. We have a definate tactic to gain the upper hand early on. The stats prove that very few teams can come from 1-0 down to win. If you were to look back at all our wins under Coppell, i would say in about 75% of them we were als...
I have been told that during the expansion the Jazz club will be closed for 6 months + . It will also be doubled in size during this period. My girlfriend is related to the owner who told this to me yesterday. it will still be s***e...no supporter / club feel to it....soleless dump Er, why? I think...
Firstly, Bikey is NOT a defender. He was playing out of position last night due to the absence of Sonko, Gunnarsson (Injured) and Sodje (Shite - to be sold?). Its not really his fault we didnt have much else. But, his performance last night was so bad it was untrue. At one point Murty was telling hi...
It's winter you clown. What do you expect? Over-exaggeration. The pitch on Saturday meant that we did not play to our strengths? What are you on about? The last 3 games at home, we have won 6-0, 3-2 and 3-1. Whine, bitch, moan and complain. Im backing you up here. The pitch looks awful but isn't pl...
Heavon on Earth, The Offical History of Reading FC says this: "Although the council sold the land to the club for a nominal £1, it cost £6m to complete the remedial work...." "Most of the £37m construction costs were raised by the surrounding Business Park but when it was made know...
Our debt was also to the chairman, not the banks, so we weren't being hit by interest chanrges either. My recolection of things back before we moved was the JM didnt stump up the cash for the ground, he just personally secured the debt & that Reading Football Club are paying for every penny bor...
