facaldaqui He says there: "I can understand the supporters, they are used to success, certainly in the Premier League, and now its a transition which some supporters won't like, some will understand."

Brendan is misunderstanding the crowd's response on Tuesday. I doubt many that went to QPR were premier plastics. They were committed fans. I totally disagree with giving players stick during games, but the ironic chants are actually a sign of buoyancy and a coping strategy for the fans.

My impression is that no fans expected a promotion challenge this season once so many players left. We wanted mid-table consolidation. The reason people are frustrated at the moment is because we are not achieving that: it's not because we are missing the premiership.

As for being "used to success", we had a brief spell of success late last year, but it's largely been two years of failure. We're certainly not used to success since Christmas because we haven't had any. Face it, Brendan: supporters will be on your back till we get out of the relegation zone.


The frightening thing is we aren't even in it yet. How I've no idea.

I think you can now add a fourth level Brendan!

Economy Class anyone?

And now The Shadow speaks:

As a coaching team we are doing everything we possibly can and there is no way the team could be better prepared for games.

Tactically, technically and physically there is no way we can be any more prepared than we have been all season.


Who makes this crap up? Are they playing Bullshit Bingo somewhere?

I am now even more convinced that the club's management get their bons mots from a discarded pile of oxf*rd Christmas crackers.

I've just been informed that he told Sky Sports News this morning that we can still get promoted. What planet (or drugs) is he on?

Also, he doesn't help his own cause because, on the one hand he complains recently of unrealistic expectations, and then he says this. Who's setting the unrealistic expectations? It's you, you clueless idiot.

It gets worse every day

Just been on SSN. Basically, he has prepared a speech that he is clearly reading off.

In fairness, that's quite a modest and genuine interview (almost want to give him a hug). However, his body language isn't good: I don't think he's confident of beating Leicester.

The BRENDAN RODGERS "Quote" Thread

by The Real Sandhurst Royal » 24 Oct 2009 11:35

We have had some fantastic quotes from Brendan Rodgers this season.

Please add the BR quotes to this thread here is one to start with.

“I can understand the frustrations, but my message is that we need to make sure we are one club. Unless we are that we will never progress, either now or in the future so it’s very important that the support stays with the team and we can grow together."

Manager Brendan Rodgers told our official online TV station Reading FC Player, "Marek will certainly be involved.

"It's been a wee bit frustrating for him, but there is absolutely no doubt he has qualities."

SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN PLAYING HIM?! He's clueless. Only word for him.
