I will never boo a Reading player for a lack of ability, only for a complete disrespect for the club or perceived lack of effort. The only player I have ever booed and actively "disliked" in the last 10 years is Danny Guthrie. He's winning everyone around with his performances this year, b...

Percy Freeman

I've been thoroughly unimpressed with his application this year, but like a few others have pointed out - JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE BIG DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY OBLIGED TO WIN HEADERS/BE A TARGET MAN. His strengths lie not in aerial dominance, but with the ball at his feet. His strength is app...

To be fair, that can be true of a lot of transfer stories re: local/national press. Local press are more likely to have either spoken/unspoken agreements with the club to stop deals spiraling out of control. National press don't have the same obligations.

There is an awful lot of crap being talked here today, but the "Jimmy Kebe" gets injured on cue chat has to be up there with some of the biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard. Kebe wound up West Ham for fun. Then, in what was our biggest (promotion-wise) match of the season, he played ...

Furthermore, a few of you really need to wise up re: Adkins media relations. Admittedly it's my line of work, but his media performance last night followed was Crisis PR interview 101. Yes you apologise, creating a sense of accountability and then you deflect (with Kebe chat in this case) thus maki...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23865006 Kebe: "I've been fit for two weeks and the manager hasn't played me." If he's fit, he plays. This is all the ammo I need to start an Adkins out chant at an inexplicably early stage of this season. Failure to man-manage someone like Kebe says t...

Jimmy Kebe was our only Premier League class footballer last year, but his injuries are always going to be a cause for concern. Under Adkins, who likes to rotate, he could thrive.

If he leaves, I demand a testimonial.

The thought of Kebe and Drenthe in the same side gives me a raging football boner.

There's no reason we can't do a merger of those two options suggested by Ian. Attractive, attacking football doesn't always have to leave you exposed. When 'possession' teams have solid defensive records (like Swansea) it's because you've got more of the ball, so the other team naturally create less...

melonhead would you rather we drew every game 100-100 and finish down the bottom, or win them all in dull 1-0 fashion, but go up as champions?

If there was a retweet option on Hobnob, this would get one. Style AND substance required.

Tokyo Sex Whale Am very happy with the score more than we concede approach. Exciting football at last.

Yeah me too, I'd just like us to score more than we concede.

Not saying it is yet, but when is the lack of clean sheets going to start being a problem? Having been strongly against the sacking of McDermott, I'm starting to subscribe to the Adkins diet but attractive forward play is ultimately undone if we keep on leaking goals. For me, the back four has two &...

I went. That's all I'll say on the matter. Want to know more, then don't be a tight arse & pay the tenner!!! Well done. I live and work in London, so annoyingly wasn't able to make it tonight. Unless I took to hiding in the First Great Western toilet facilities (I'm told this works a treat), it...

And Compton's own Theo Walcott, of course.

Want to see: - Promotion, preferably as Champions. I like the idea of us being the most dominant Championship side in the last decade. - Attractive football. Though winning is more important, it would be nice to see some attractive football too. - Some kind of improvement from Jem Karacan. Feel like...

Has to be said, it's fairly funny that Neil Adkins has come in and has declared war on our left hand side.

Until he drops the flipcharts and David Brent-speak, can't love him.

Reading 0-0 QPR. Why go and see something you love slowly wither and die?
