Why bother slagging football managers? Mc Ghee is a failure and a has-been, Warnock will shortly be exposed as the blow-hard that he is. (Not that the Championship didn't know that already). Come what may this season, we have proved that we are far above the rantings of such little men. As for Parde...

To 'do a Reading', teams would need to come close to, or surpass our performance of last seaon, without spending untold millions on new signings and wages, but rather by relying on dedicated, skillful and motivated players, team spirit, fitness and astute management. The Championship is a hard leagu...

Reading fans have always had a streak of negativity and cynicism. This was true at Elm Park, just as now. Pehaps it is easier to accept defeat if you can walk away from the ground afterwards and say, "told you so".

dobcheck Further to my earlier post, mensah played for rennes this evening in their freindly against osusuna and looks certain to be in their starting lineup for their first league game next week.

He only played for the first half, but nevertheless,the signs are not good.

Reading, Sheffield United and Monaco are all weighing up offers for John Mensah, according to reports emanating from the French press. The Ghana international saw his stock rise following an impressive World Cup showing, with Rennes reportedly ready to do a deal at around the £4 million mark. Mens...

I would like to add my welcome kyuyeona. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we are happy to see friends from South Korea on this site. Reading F.C. are a relatively small club who often go unnoticed by the media, but last year, we took the Championship by storm. This year, who knows? What...

Not un saucisson on either the Rennes Maville or Official Rennes FC sites with regard to Mensah. Reading around these sites, it appears that the club is making their plans for the season without him.

I feel that this thread is slightly premature. Surely better to wait and see what if any new signings occur within the next 7 days or so. The game against Feyenoord should also provide a reasonable yardstick to judge our squad against quality opposition. The current side oozes quality, from a Champi...

Rennes official site now saying (site updated 19/07) that Mensah is 'expected' and that he was held up in Ghana until Wednesday, due to a Presidential Reception for the national squad.

As much as I rate him Kitson can be a knob sometimes. But presumably(sp?) Kitson reads this forum? :? Dear Dave, The internet isn't real, we will say what we please. Stop being a cry baby or I'll make a thread detailing what you were saying to that waitress last Saturday after your game of golf. Th...

Yes I believe so (re Charlton), have now edited post to exclude this 'news'.

http://www.rennes.maville.com/actu/Detail.asp?idDOC=316859&idCLA=46 Dated 19/07 Loose translation... "World Cup stars Erik Edman, Andreas Isaksson and John Mensah are not on tour with the club (Rennes) in the Czech Republic. They will be following a specific fitness programme instead". And ... t...

Don't you just hate everybody who generalises?

I think that this past season's achievements; and the successes of the last few years have fulfilled the dreams of most supporters. As a schoolboy back in the 60s, I used to dream of promotion to the old Second Division whilst Wembley was just an Underground stop. As for playing for the team...that ...

Well worked.

When will Sidders get a crack at Prem footy if he goes to Palace?

Don't they need to get promoted first?
