Madejski has kept us afloat for the past 20 years and for many of them, he's had to put his own money in. Now he's finally got a chance to make us viable in modern football terms, why wouldn't he take it? Maybe Madejski is being selfish, maybe he's being wise, maybe he's doing what he thinks is bes...

Not sure I buy the bit about lots of fans not going who were at EP, we seem to have much bigger crowds these days so not only must the numbers who decided not to watch the best football we've ever seen be fairly small they are dwarfed by the numbers of new people who have startedcoming in the last ...

But essentially it isnt any major difference to at any other period in history so theres no point worrying about it Its still possible for clubs to compete without running them into the ground financially, you just have to get the blend right You only have to look at some of the clubs over recent ye...

Its never really been any different though has it Dirk

It might be a bit more extreme these days, but the clubs with the best facilities and could play the most money to players were always the ones who would attract the better players and be the more successful

Why is it a poor show? It's only an awards ceremony. A poor show is if they failed to turn up for training, or a match etc. Shows a bit of a lack of respect for your fellow pros doesnt it Do each club have to book a table Hart probably got a bit of a patriotic vote to get in the side, but that Mail...

I bloody well hope not

Lower league Berbatov who looked so disinterested in the game down here this season. I think we need a bit more quality upfront, but not if it means bringing in lazy arse players like Bogdanovic

I thought the posh keeper looked good, their captain too. I think once Federici decides to take up one of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal's offer of where to sign, we should make a bid for lewis. He made some pretty decent saves, but he had plenty of opportunities to look good with the chances w...

1871 Royal

SHORT AND CURLY Peter Schmeichel (Danish) sounded Manc

Nothing to do with the fact that he played for Man Utd for years then .......

Just like Molby did with Liverpool you mean? Think that was kind of the point wasnt it?

But honestly this clubs attendance figures have only grown in the Madejski years and it's a fact we were getting as many if not more supporters in the third tier here then we were when we were hitting the top 6 of the 2nd tier at Elm Park. I don't think you can dispute that a lot of that has to do ...

So you're not confident? If the right man had got the job in the summer, I think we would have done a lot better this season, this team should have made play offs. We've got a young improving team, who I believe will get better next season. Their characters are too strong to be one season wonders. ...

Although I would agree Rafa will be out in the summer, and that it was a bizarre substitution, it isnt just because the player doesnt know why or agree with the decisions

Torres may well need the rest, and Rafa might be right about it, but that doesnt mean that Torres would agree with being taken off

You mean in the way its supposed to be and Kishi taught him to

rfcjoe

Terminal Boardom

rfcjoe Dellor pronouncing Zurabs second name as "Keesheeneeshveelli" is really starting to fvck me off!




Ade Akinbyi misses ANOTHER chance

Don't listen then

Well I clearly want to listen to the game, you eye rolling mong

How do you want him to pronounce it then

Its the the stewards fault though is it? Fans kick off at times when they colours on display where they shouldnt be. You would hope they wouldnt with kids, but where would you draw a line as a steward? The kids dad might have got into bother because of it perhaps? I remember a few years ago the youn...

Royal Lady And the only reason Schards hasn't whinged is because he is not here. I suspect that on his return, he'll have something to say too.

Did you forget to tell him to say something when he got home

Do you mean the scarfs that had Reading and Villa on the same scarf?

Kids being told to cover up the Villa bit if they were going in the home end? Seems a fair enough warning to me, plenty of times showing the opposition colours leads to a bit of abuse if not more

7 is the number I remember him wearing the most, especially towards the end of his time here

The real question to be asked is what on earth is he doing in their U21 side anyway ! I'd be surprised if Iceland have more than 30 or 40 decent players so he should be playing for the first team. Clearly something is rotten in Icelandic football..... Competitive game v friendly He has loads of tim...

Franchise FC
He must have the strongest back muscles in the world.

He was certainly one of the biggest c**ts seen at the Mad Stad

Gooding and Dellor were enthusing about the performance during the 1st half and seemed to agree that it was probably the best half of football seen at the Mad Stad all season. Vaguely interesting that a number of above comments are very much to the contrary. That surprising me a little with Gooding...
