Re: Best loan signing

I will always maintain that this guy was responsible for the 106 season with that assist in the Sheffield United home game, to take us within 3 points of them at the top. Reading legend, as far as I'm concerned. Now plays for Amiens SC in France. He's 31 now so was only 19 or so when he floated tha...

Re: Theoretical: Sack Stam and replace with ...?

I don't want or expect this to happen. But if it did, Patrick Vieira would be my #1. Linked with Saint Etienne, wants to coach in Europe but Man City are reluctant to let him leave NYCFC and he seems to be happy enough there. De Boer would be ok in my mind, awful at palace, but we aren't exactly an...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Well, you must have a reason for feeling that you need the kit RIGHT NOW? I don't know what people's reasons are, and I'm not sure it matters. Kit out in line with other clubs - annoys no-one Kit out "late" - annoys some people Don't understand the motivation behind releasing it "lat...

genome But why!?

Surely it's only a problem if it's not ready by the first match of the season?


Is the why important?

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

I have no idea what point you are now trying to make lol. Annoying your customer base isn't a great marketing ploy IMO. Relegations, changes of ownership, harsh management sackings, I can cope with all of that but woe betide the club that thinks they can play fast and loose with the announcement of...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Either we've consistently hit upon a marketing ploy that no other club, even those who make fortunes from marketing, have thought of, or we just do things late because that's how we've always done it. This. Not sure why some posters are convinced our club knows better than others? Especially when t...

Re: Do you have another team?

No second team as such, but I echo the feelings about football. I don't feel the same connection to the club anymore, didn't renew my season ticket of the last 20 or so years and only went to one match this season. I think my apathy also coincided with a few seasons of dreadful football and results...

Re: Play off odds

CountryRoyal I understand the concept of it you melt, just also perhaps more pertinently I'm very aware just how tediously dull it is, and ultimately it's a fairly nugatory excercise.

Re: Play off odds

It all seems very strange. Of course the bookies may just be reacting to how the money is going. If lots of people fancy Fulham they need to change their odds to drive more bets onto Reading Nothing to do with this. Fulham are rated much better than us, mainly due to the difference in our respectiv...

Amazed that they have a longer thread than we do about an rumoured signing ! Also bizarre that apparantly we aren't a good side because we have poor 'expected goal' statistics ! Forget the 46 points, we won't go up because some 6th former has invented another irrelevant 'statistic' :lol: at you dee...

Re: Championship Chats

My suggestion is: don't pose as a fan of the team when you post on their forum. It's disingenuous, it'll be noticed straight away & you'll lose all hope of a positive connection with the reader. You've got to believe that you're interesting/engaging enough that it's irrelevant why you're sharing...

Re: BFTG - Arsenal (a)

Sat in the home end. People in front got in 10 minutes late, sat in the wrong seats, spent the whole game on their phones (occasionally Periscoping when Giroud was warming up), left 20 minutes before the end. Not sure what they got out of the game.

And people complain about our fans :lol:

Re: Rumour - Asamoah Gyan

I see the press are saying Fulham were also interested, but couldn't afford his wages. Which makes it an exact parallel with Pog, in that Fulham couldn't afford him at the time either. Anyone getting a feeling of deja vu here? :lol: I don't think we should sign him mainly because if he wasn't a foo...
