We seem to be falling into disarray, and although he's done a great job so far, I place the blame entirely with Coppell. Imagine how the likes of Fae, Sonko and Lita have felt this season. The team has been awful, and some players are really not performing. However, Coppell has his favourites and fo...

Is it me, or is this rule a shocking one? It leads to defensive, dull football which nobody wants. Home teams are always too scared to commit forward and take the game for fear of conceding an away goal, which makes the match more dull. Then consider how unfair it can be.

Loaded question time: Hands up all those people who think that had it been Marek that had tried a speculative backheel that from 6 yards that fortunately beat a badly positioned keeper, and Ronaldo who larrrrumphed a cracker into the top corner at Anfield from 25 yards, that Marek would have been a...

The last sentence on this interview has got me thinking: "There are reasons why Doyle didn't come on." "Glen Little wasn't 100% right, everyone knows that. Nicky Shorey's not lost his ability, and the reasons for that will become apparent this week." He was just explaining Saturd...

Hey, I'm new on here. I'm actually on another message board but that's more a mix of football fans and there's not enough Reading banter. Also I've got a loaf of uni exams coming up soon and they suspended me until the end of May on my request, so I can't go there at the moment. I was under the alia...
