Re: Weekend Football

Whatever the question is at United ETH isn't the answer. down to the 5th & 6th choice CB's, no fit LB for most of the season. He tried to sell three players in the summer, who as a result of injury, have had to be starters (Mctoninary, Maguire etc). Often been without a recognised striker for s...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Wasn't the Town End the away end? Yes it was Only once segregation became a thing. I have been to games when the Tilehurst End was the away end (official) and where everyone was just mixed in. Some games the South Bank was pretty much the away end ! In my early days we would swap ends depending upo...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

For me: Pereira Abrefa, Mbengue, Bindon, Mola Wing, Elliott Azeez, Knibbs, Ehibhatiomhan Smith Button, Dorsett, Carson, Rushesha, Savage, Mukairu, Wareham With Carson and/or Rushesha getting 20 minutes. In fact this would be my next three teams. Pereira Yiadom, Bindon, Dorsett, Mola Wing, Savage Az...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Hopefully we can make some more freebie signings and a few Prem. loans again. This season I think the club did well in those areas but we need at least another 5-6 to entertain a team capable of a promotion push. Of the current lot I would like to see Bindon, Yiadom, Knibbs and Wing as the nucleus a...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Winston Biscuit I reckon today's results should really be enough to see Leicester through to the Prem.

Pompey all but promoted too


It could be teams playing in blue win all 3 divisions outside the Prem-add Chesterfield from the Conference and that would surely be some record.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

The one plus from yesterday (apart from the point) was the performance of Elliot. At last he was played between centre and right midfield whereas previously Selles had played him wide right which is a dreadful position for a right-footed player. Looking at those players yesterday I felt that only Bi...

Re: Do you ever wear a football shirt?

I gave all mine away when we moved … primarily because I never wore them and they needed a good home Don't remind me Franchise as it was a real disappointment for me that I was a day late in trying to get a Simod Final shirt for my son who is a prolific wearer and collector of Reading FC (and Chels...

Re: Do you ever wear a football shirt?

I get why people might wear them for doing some sport or around the house/gardening as they are comfortable and very washable. What I don't get is adults over about 20 or so wearing them, especially fat blokes and it seems like most shirt-wearing fans are fat. They definitely look better on women. ...

Re: England - the future....

BRO_BOT Sangers, would you want Southgate to take over LFC when Klopp leaves?


Isn't he already lined up for that mid-table club 35 miles or so east of Liverpool?

Re: England - the future....

Most football managers IMHO have a fear of losing, especially those without the strongest of squads and playing defensively first and foremost can take you a long way. Southgate has had some of the poorest defenders at his disposal but arguably a large number of choices in attacking positions, espec...

NathStPaul Liverpool will bottle it, perennial bottle jobs.


A poor attempt at an April fools joke OMA.

Just the 6 European cups, 19 English titles, EUFA cup and countless FA and League Cups.

Re: The non snowball stat thread

Academy is just a new name and structure for a youth team. Clubs have had youth teams for ages. Yes I know but what about Reading?. How long have Reading had a youth team? What did we have before the Academy was set up? Did Reading have a youth team in the 80’s/early 90’s ?… Genuine question I don’...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

Bookies clearly don't agree with OMA about Liverpool being "inferior" as they are now clear favourites at 11/10 with City at 15/8. Having backed Liverpool early on at 6/1 I am pleased but with City's seemingly easier run-in their current price does represent value for money IMHO and may ju...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

Well, Liverpool have a better one for a start :wink: :D Joe has done a really good job there and whereas I argued many years ago with vision about right-footed left-backs there is now a case, with so many left-footed right-wingers, for having a right-footed left-back to match up. This is more relev...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

They are an inferior team with or without Robertson. Give it up. So they really can't be that "inferior" as you call them when they are joint top with just 10 games left so IMHO they have a second favourite's chance of winning the title and if they did it would be quite an achievement wit...
