Reading FC transfers Reading are hoping to complete a double signing in the coming days with Kevin Mirallas and Mathieu Debuchy both joining from lille for a believed combined fee of £8m. Reading also want to bring Tom Soares to the club, he has strong links to the town as he was born there and hi...

Sorry it's taken me a while to check the game, but I've re-discovered my favourite bit of commentary from a live game on Sky. At the end of the Derby game on New Years Eve 2005 the commentator said : "The last time Reading lost England were 1-0 down in the Ashes" Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

and what the hell is a transfer traget!? It's similar to a tarnsfer target if that's any help. Was that Lando McDonovan rumour pulled from the future? Last anyone saw Beckham he was in Madrid. How could he and Donovan have been paired for a month. An how the hell could Lando be a replacement for Si...

comeonthebiscuitmen Where can I find a history of our shirt sponsors?

Is there a long lost thread on this?

has anyone ever had dealings with HAT painting?

I had to help my sons with their Easter bonnets once. No Painting, just sticking a few bits on, though.

Is this the one you mean? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.reed1/rfc_old.gif That's the one, Any idea where I can find an image exactly like that? I think Paint is installed on most machines - use Ctrl/Prt Scr, then Edit Paste in Paint and hey presto you can cut the bit you need.

SpaceCruiser Didn't BW get the boot for 'seeing to' Steve Mroan's missus ?

Yes, that's the rumour!

Yeah. She wasn't the only one disappointed with Moran's performance.

Be fair to the guy - he had a bad back, and given the state of his missus I'm not surprised.

Riseley Blackie is a character but the smart money remains on Spacey.

Maybe Blacky IS Spacey - I've never seen them in the same room !!

Neil Smillie One of Ian Branfoot's signings during the bad season of 1987/8, he played a large part in Reading's Simod Cup win, scoring a goal at Wembley. Other than that, he didn't do much and probably was let go (to Brentford?) by either Ian Porterfield or Mark McGhee . He eventually went onto ma...

this cannot include promotion to the prem or any other leagueso mine would have to be the simod cup semi final ,ohhhhh what a night that was Reading 4 Plymouth 3 3-0 down after an hour and with droves leaving, we were reated to the greatest moment. Kevin Bremner was the catalyst, not least for the ...

Whoever has the most Royalty points is obv the best fan ever as they have been to the most games. Sadly, not true. In the days when we went to games home and away in the 70's, 80's and early 90's no-one had even dreamt of Royalty points. I agree, the royalty points has been in effect for only 3 or ...

That bloke with long thin brown/grey hair. He's had the same coat for at the 19 year that I've been going to games. Does he sit in y22 ??? Yes he does, up behind me and to my left. Must be something like Y22 F 146 or nearby. Saw him in Aldermaston the other day without "The Coat" That can...

Senior had that knack of being able to get up early for a cross and be able to hang in the air. His timing was very good and he could shoot as well. My vote goes to Clever Trevor but Lita and Friday upfront would have been funny, entertaining and infuriating to watch. Lita & Friday - talk about...

I can't believe he didn't win that Football Sprint Challenge. He didn't even look like he was trying. Can't rememebr who did win now, though! Keith Curle As I've said before - John Williams One player from each club entered a knock-out competition and I think Gilkes finished 2nd or 3rd. I thought t...

Keith Curle

As I've said before - John Williams

If Bobby is the best left winger you have seen then you really ought to go watch more football. For me Gilksey is the best Reading left winger, but as rightly stated we have never seemed to have a dearth of talent in that position. I'd argue that Convey is a far better footballer than Gilksey ever ...

Hunt and Convey can rightly wear the shirt with pride, but in my humble opinion no single Reading player has ever approached Michael Gilkes' ability to excite the crowd. The whole of Elm Park was electrified (including the away end, with fear) whenever he had the ball at his feet and started a run ...
