Re: Ali Al-Habsi

Seems like a nice guy Solid shot stopper Confident on crosses ....Distribution is woeful ....... and in Stams way of playing it needs someone at the back spraying passes confidently - he can learn this at Hogwood,,, but I thought it should have clicked by now, @ Wigan it looked like he was playing ...

Re: BFTG - Arsenal (a)

Serious question. When you saw the team Reading put out, did you a feel a little deflated and let down? 5,000+ fans paying good money, many taking the day/afternoon off work. No disrespect to the players involved, it's good experience for them. But so early on in the season with no obvious sign of ...

What about if there's an elderly fan or a child sat behind me who won't be able to see if I stand up, do I totally disregard them and do what I want to do?

Don't think so

Re: Arsenal (A)

I don't understand the sniping - a tenner to watch Reading play in one of the best and arguably the easiest grounds to get to in the country. Whats not to like? got 4 tickets in the home end behind the goal. Obviously means I have to deal with sitting next to Hugo and Tarquin and their city boy mat...

Re: SERIOUSLY STOP BOOING

Noted the crowds for this season have been really rather poor. Any sensible thoughts on why this might be :?: After two dismals seasons and with little chance of great success in the short term, the glory hunting pLOLastics have left again to follow your Chelseas, your Man Utds and your Maidenhead ...

Re: What's the Problem?

We have a 34 year old who has only scored more than 12 in a season once in the past decade A youngster who is completely untried at this level A currently injured Latvian who is, demonstrably, not good enough for the championship. A young French striker who, thus far, looks completely out of his de...

Re: What's the Problem?

Who, in your opinion, are the teams with a better strike force in the championship this season? And who are teams with better strike forces than us in League 1? Championship: Aston Villa - Gestede, McCormack, Kodija - Ill give you this one Barnsley - Winnall, Bradshaw, Armstrong - Have any of these...

Re: What's the Problem?

The problem is we don't have a single striker who would be considered much above average in Div 1 let alone the Championship and, clearly, this is going to impact on our performance more negatively than if we did. Last year we had Vydra, Sa, Blackman, Robson-Kanu all four of whom I would say are be...

Re: Transfer Deadline Day - August '16

Pretty happy with our options in every position but striker. A new striker who can, at least, compete at this level, and no surprise exits, and I'd be happy

Re: Why are "we" booing players keeping the ball?

We have a new manager who is looking to implement a strategy based on ball retention with a squad of players who have barely met. He must wonder what he's let himself in for when, five games in, fans are booing and demanding the ball be hoofed up field to a lone striker who shows no ability at retai...

Re: Back from the game: MK Dons

Idiot fans were booing when Cooper kept passing the ball back to the keeper and we kept possession, I think might be the reason he then cracked and did a McDermot era long ball up to the attacker who then lost the ball. From that long ball, MK Dons got possession, launched an attack that had our at...

Re: Euro 96 v Euro 16

I loved Argentina 78, first tournament I really got in to and just seemed a different world to english football, some sensational goals, shame Argentina's 6-0 win of Peru was subsequently tainted to the suggestion of match fixing Mexico 86 was fabulous, was working in London sharing a house with 3 o...
