Re: Where does Carroll rank in worst ever signings?

Nah Oillie Kearns was dreadful, may have scored a few but missed far more chances, the Goat likewise. Greg Halford. ^^^^ We have a winner. Wins by 1 1/2 lengths ahead of another, at the time record signing, Steve Moran. Hardly played sure, but hard to argue it's our worst ever signing when we made ...

Re: Where does Carroll rank in worst ever signings?

Haven't posted for a decade but had to log in to reply to this one due to the nonsense. We signed 7 players in ONE DAY, 5 of which were worse signings than Carroll. HTH. McIntyre and ? I was thinking Howie but he got dropped for Van Der Kwaak. Yeh Howie was the other but I could have said 6. Not th...

Re: Semi final tickets?

The ticket allocation criteria are a complete joke. I've only been to one game in the last 5 years due to priorities changing in my life. Now, due to the priority given to my historically accrued loyalty points, I am going to be forced to make a trip to Wembley i cant really afford to get on the las...

Re: Buyout

loyalroyaldaz Dave, you can use the dictionary when they have finished. Get someone to read it to you and pay particular attention to the words "Deluded" and "Idiot".


Lecturing others on their use of English, and then capitalising words for absolutely no reason. Bravo sir.

Re: The league table if hitting the woodwork counted as a go

As someone that earned the "winning corner" in the final of a 5-a-side tournament for my cub pack (and has lived off of it for the last 26 years) I would like to see more of these threads.

Re: 2006/07 Season compared to now

B Mc has learned from SSC extremely well, next game, dont set targets etc etc. Like SSC he has talked about his players being ready and two for each position, everything we need to hear and would expect to hear. The main difference I hope is that this time we dont have billy big bollox players who ...

Re: Lawro's Predictions

Oh look, Reading fans getting affronted for no reason whatsoever. He could well be right that we are short of quality. The jury is out on that one isn’t it. 3 of those new signings are from the Championship, it could be questioned whether they will make the step up. Lawro doesn’t like us? I am sure...

Re: Song Sheets For Stoke

People getting annoyed about this are just as out of touch with reality as the spaktards that think it's a good idea. Our atmosphere is, and always has been, among the worst in the league. It's not going to change. Tomorrow will be the same as almost all previous encounters with Stoke... Why, why, w...

Re: RUMOUR - Joe Cole

I don't believe for one minute we'll get him. Ignore the top 6 clubs and the 3 newly promoted clubs, and there would be 11 clubs he could have his pick of. I just don't see a player of his calibre opting for newly promoted Reading over an Aston Villa, Everton, Fulham, Swansea etc. But at least we s...
