I'm struggling to see how Fae is seen as a good prospect as he is our record signing and Coppell doesn't seem to think he's good enough to actually, errr, play a game. Are you a mind-reader? Well, when Andre Bikey first pulled on the shirt for Reading he was an absolute liability, couldn't pass, he...

This is a long post, please ignore if you don't have time! This season Reading have won back-to-back games only once (last season it was five times, including five wins in a row), won only one game away from home all season (compared to five) and has conceded 65 goals already compared to 42 at the ...

I'm sure Steve Coppell thinks he's a great footballer, but i'm even more sure that he finds him a disruptive influence of whom he's grown tired of dealing with. It's going to be hard for any manager who spent big money on a player to admit to the chairman that his player is a dud. Especially if you...

I actually think it also sums up Lita well, using his strength to fend of an opponent while keeping good control of the ball (I guess this disagreement sums up Lita well, polarises opinion) I'm sure Steve Coppell thinks he's a great footballer, but i'm even more sure that he finds him a disruptive i...

Gardner? Exactly What I was thinking. Good age, strong, but not the best man marker. His hight makes him very conspicuous when he gets things wrong! I'd be very happy if it our guess was true, a kind of Titus Bramble player; good when good but bad when bad, if you know what I mean. He must be 5th o...

what have you done with your ticket?!

Feel free to move, however, does anyone have any idea how a ticketless soul like myself could get to the game against Sunderland?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Harper eats a fried breakfast, Kitson hates wasting energy on training - the point is each player knows his own body. I hate waming up; when players pull muscles it's very rarely at the begining of a match which proves warming up is overrated! The manager of my team gets really annoyed with me sayi...

Para Handy Didn't touch him.

I'll never be able to look at The Boulevard Montmartre at Night again.

Bastard.

Wrong forum - Art (Dis)Appreciation on AE!

By the sounds of things, that is what Cisse is...

Bikey - DEFINITELY must stay - anyone who wants him to go after his performance against Charlton needs a brain transplant. He doesn't know where to stand on the pitch! I'm sorry, but I think it's you who needs the brain transplant! :wink: Remind me how Darren Bent managed to fair up against Bikey o...

Bikey - No thanks, Positional Liability Halls - Release, drain on the wage bill Sodje - Sell, Not good enough for top half of the prem! De La Cruz -Release, Halford is a ready made replacement Gunnarsson - Keep for another year if he will stay Oster - Sell if we get an offer, keep if he's happy as a...

Why change a very sucessfull formula?! Exactly, bring back the team that was playing well earlier in the season. We dominated a team with Seol gaining confidence, Long getting another start under his belt, and Bikey getting a chance to prove himself (which he didn't!) If all is going well, why upse...

Chaney Sidders quote: draw a fair result...are you bloody sure Steve???

He was probably in shock that he had been awarded man of the match.

Agree! Sidders won that on reputation.

MOM for me, Ivar for keeping a clean sheet with Bikey next to him...

Have to question coppells ambition yet again. Charlton there for the taking tonight and we play a weakened team. Dominate the game and leave doyle and kitson on the bench when it was obvious we weren't going to score with lita and long, his use of subsitutes is worrying. A chance for an extra two p...

Arch TBH there were eight good defenders on show. If anything, the most suspect was Johnson.

Spot on

Lita worked hard today as did Kit's but with no end product, this wasnt helped by lack of decent ball to both of them and th fact Marcus cant kick straight!! To be fair I thought that Hahneman's kicking was part of an intentional ploy to take advantage of Glen Johnsons weakness at heading - and I t...
