The clip posted on this thread doesn't show that Bikey has trotted over from 15-20 yards away and piled straight into the medic. Ridiculous to claim some form of racism - quite clear on the clip that the medic is as white as I am a Martian. Christ knows what has come over him, but any form of defen...

Cisse and Sonko will have a chance to forge a partnership. It might help Cisse to have Sonko next to him, not only for his dominance in the air, but also for the fact they speak the same language. That doesn't solve the problem of Sonko's recent awful positioning, tendency to give away a penalty at...

What an idiot.

I can see an extended ban being enforced by FIFA for this. The only similar incident I can think of is the Di Canio push on whatshisface the Ref.

How long did he get banned for that one?

Therefore if JM wants to survive in the Prem he has to bring in someone else immediately however painful that is. If JM wants to survive in the Prem he should make the money available to the manager so he CAN bring the right players to the club and not just the ones he can get on a shoe string budg...

Be interesting to hear your views when next season playing away to Swansea I would somehow think RR's views will be the same as they've always been. He will want Reading to win, surprisingly they may choose to ignore his suggestions from the stands (or comfort of his armchair) and they may even los...

Gilkes came out with a comment after the home defeat to Pompey, he said that we have a similar income to them, and 12 months ago, were similar to them on the pitch, but they invested to enhance their chances of enjoying the money the top flight offers, but what did we do ?? Great post!! And to enha...

I agree, he is too professional to bad mouth his chairman. Not sure how many on here know this, but some of the players have a clause that basically means if/when a new players signs a contract, if he becomes the highest paid player at the club, they automatically get the same. I don't believe that...

Coppell may decide to quit, but only at the end of the season. He's in a results based job and if he fails to deliver the results, then we know what he'll do. Honestly I don't see what we would gain by his resignation. If we went down he would be an excellent choice to get us back up. Something nee...

Bump

I thought Cahill was excellent today by the way.

Don't know if he's worth the money they paid for him but none of our forwards got a kick and he dominated for the majority of the game.

So are we blaming the manager here, or pointing a finger at a chairman who's raking it in and quite possibly not offering enough money to Coppell to get the players he actually wants? I don't want to blame anyone, but I certainly wont hold Coppell responsible . He can only work with the tools he's ...

Big decision soon Mr Mad - lack of quality, lack of tactics & lack of investment. Look what Megson & Bruce are doing for Bolton and Wigan - relegation now looks likely as Coppell and Co have no ideas how to stop a losing run. His team selection made Bolton look like Real Madrid. Haven't pos...

gonesy If we manage to keep Shorey, Lita & Hunt again I'll be happy with that. Much better than more useless signings who can't get in the team or has-beens like Litmanen (LOL!)

I'm amazed that so many Reading fans are happy to continue with a squad which has faltered so much over the last 6 months.

I am a man of impecable manners, well educated and well atired but Fcuk of all you negative whingers ! Villa away, Man U (with the best form player in the world) home and £150M Chelsea away in Jan , I guess you all expected 9 points ! Get real, remember Northampton home giving away an equaliser in ...

Andrew I do admire your optimism but do you think Doyle and Kitson would still be with us in The Championship? This current squad has got us to 2 points above the relegation spot-it would be fine if we stay 2 points or even 1 point above the relegation spot after the Derby away game but will we wit...

There are similarities between Fae and a lot of players coming to England. For example, Drogba had a fairly indistinguished first season in England but has gone on to be one of the best strikers in the league. I'm not saying that Fae will have that sort of impact but he could easily look a differen...

First - Various posts on here reminding SC about stuff like needing a right winger - do you really think one of the most thoughtful managers in world football hasn't noticed that he has to play an out of position player there every week? I can see him reading this now and saying - of course you are...
