LUX Me. If we do get there, we’ll win the playoffs.

LUX, any chance you could share with us on how you managed to obtain hallucinogenic gear during the lock down?

I'd like us to make it if only for the pissy knickers brigade to eat some pie. You do realise that you threw the biggest hissy fit in the history of hna? When Bowen got sacked and pauno took over? You are in no position to be pointing fingers at anyone Ian. The people saying we were drifting out of...

I imagine if we had won we would probably look back on it with a different view :) Suspect that we would have been a Derby or Sheffield United. Stam would have exposed completely tactically. I'd have happily taken Sheff Utd's first season HTF is geting whipped week in week out any fun? It's better ...

What might have been. What would be good is to nail the play offs as early as possible and rest key players for the final couple of games of the League season. It worked for ‘Uddersfield. Yep exactly that I know Huddersfield won the playoffs, but it's hardly a model to follow. They didn't score a g...

It’s a great question oldebiscuit, for me I personally think the best measure to define a ‘big club’ is support. Size of stadium and how many tickets you sell each week. For instance take Sunderland in league 1 been consistently lower than us now for a number of years but still draw bigger crowds t...

What actually defines a ‘Big Club’? The size of your stadium? The size of the average crowd? The noise generated by your home crowd? Did your fans get a reputation during the hooligan ere of the 70’s? The capacity of your stadium? The contents of your trophy cabinet? The history of your success? The...

Some things are really not funny. Being accused of being a Tory is really really not funny. Makes me laugh how massively over offended people get by being called a ‘Tory’ like they’ve been accused of molesting kids or something exileinleeds is right, it is a serious matter. You might be self employ...

Fellow Nobbers annoy me occasionally, but 5 minutes later it's forgotten and i move on, that is unless it's one of the few tedious 'know it alls' with no manners that just wont give it a rest. However, i do laugh disdainfully at Nobbers whose lives revolve around this Forum, the sad ones with no oth...

Post your opinion on a public discussion forum where you're saying something should happen and you make your opinion other people's business and fair game. If you don't want it commented on, keep it private. The hypocrisy of you saying saying people should stop doing something you don't like and th...

And if you want to discuss hypocrisy, then ask your self how many Reading fans condemn racism but openly target and shout abuse at a red headed player? sing 'where's your caravan' or 'pikey' to a player with long black hair? And how many have sung 'Bobby Zamora the elephant man'? or any of the many...

The biggest message from black people to white people at the height of the unrest was essentially "Don't just make some meaningless posts and symbols on facebook etc and then just forget about us again without changing anything. Do something, make change happen and don't just think about racis...

I think the players and authorities have made quite clear what the motivation behind taking the knee is, its an honest gesture, not in itself confrontational and anyone arguing differently is either being thick or disingenuous. I agree 100% that it is an honest and peaceful gesture and certainly no...

Simmops We will batter the hell out of them back to Manchester or wherever Coventry is on the map

Isn’t it the Center of England ?

No, it's in the centre of England.

We've only let one in all season, they've only scored one all season, this is football where complacency and foregone conclusions bite you in the arse.
I reckon a couple of quid on a tight Wycombe win might be worth a punt, say 1-2 to Wycombe?

Silver Fox Didn't watch the game but caught the highlights. I just wanted to check in and confirm the rumour I'd heard that we are definitely going up is true?

Not just going up, but breaking the points record.

Well, we already have more points than we did at this stage of the 2005/06 season.

50 years ago today 1st Aug 1970, and on a Saturday, Reading 2-3 Man United featuring Best, Charlton, Law & co, first round Watney Cup. This was the first sponsored competition in English football was run pre season for the highest scoring sides from the previous season. I was a bit too young to...

I always remember a very drunken Frankie Henry doing a one man pitch invasion at Elm Park at least once every 3 or 4 games. The Police just threw him out and he was back a couple of games later. No bans in those days.

Jermaine Defoe destroyed us For Bournemouth at the end of the 2001 season, we’ll at least for the first half anyway. It took numerous tactical and positional changes to slow him down a touch. I still laugh at that one, there big away day, and they needed to win to make the play offs, and we managed ...

I will go for Gunnarson, Andy Hughes, Chris Makin and John Oster. Gunnarson for me doesn't tick the box because he was highly rated by most fans. Andy Hughes is a good shout, Primarily a central midfielder but at the club he also took on the roles of winger, left back, right back and scape goat. Al...
