Re: Who do you want to replace Clarke?

It doesn't sit quite right to class other Brits as foreign, personally. Do you count Cardiff and Swansea as foreign teams? Technically the UK is a sovereign state, made of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland. As 'foreign' means of or from a country other than ones own, people fro...

Re: Away fans farther from the pitch

Newcastle is the worst by a mile.

Clubs shouldn't be allowed to do this. Away supporters should be housed somewhere adjacent to the pitch (unless physically impossible).

Re: The New Manager Poll

URZZZZZ Just been down the megastore to get my son a new shirt and the bloke behind the counter was printing several shits with COPPELL on the back.


Several 'shits'?!

I've heard the phrase 'polishing a turd', but that sounds quite messy!

Re: M4 closures next week

Not so stupid as you make out. The game was switched some time back, not at sure notice. A closure that early at night on a weekday evening is stupid, regardless of whether there is a football game on. The game just makes it even worse. However, anyone who uses our road network knows that nowadays ...

Re: RUMOUR: Clarke to Fulham

Dead man walking (away). Until he goes we are in limbo, going nowhere.

Seems strange that FFC still haven't appointed a new manager.

One commentator said after Clarke's Thursday u-turn "This isn't over."

I love this type of signing too - Trevor Senior and Robin Friday come to mind when Reading non-league transfers are mentioned.


We signed Senior from Portsmouth.


Near enough non league then

And we get the compensation. And we can now send back the Chelsea loanees who were doing us no favours.

Taxi for Clarke, Piazon and Hector.

Re: RUMOUR: Clarke to Fulham

Having slept on this, I wonder if its a case of jumping before being pushed. Let's not forget how awful last season, especially the second half, was. Many said at the time that the FA Cup run was just papering over the cracks. To finish 19th was a disgrace. This season didn't start much better and, ...

Brilliant going forward but defence is all over the place. Doesn't help when both your FBs are booked so early.

Re: Biggest Reading Away following

Good numbers for Arsenal away in early 70s in FACup according to the old man. Southampton away League cup quarter final replay in 79 decent too. Recent times it must be the Arsenal league cup game in 05. The Southampton match was in '78 and was a 4th round replay. We lost 2-0. There were no facilit...

Re: A Little Piece About Reading

It's an interesting piece that makes good points and has obviously been well-researched. The only factual error I can spot is not counting Anton Ferdinand as a "new" player in our defence. I also think you shouldn't have said "according to a mate" - check that they're right, and...

Re: Reading's best ever left-back?

Has to be Ray "Bomber" Reeves. The only one to come close to Nicky Shorey. Bomber may just shade it as he scored more but Shorey played in higher leagues. By coincidence, Bomber made 284 league starts for RFC, and Nicky Shorey 283+1. Reeves had 29 league goals to Shorey's 13, but then Ree...
