Re: How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

Other CB options include Ferdinand, McShane & Hector. All 3 are twice as good as Cooper.

Re: How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

There isn't really anything else for me to say. I've made my points. At least you put a much better argument forward than No Fixed Abode who doesn't really have an argument and his position is not authentic anyway. The Chelsea fan is just out fishing. Orlando Sa wasn't one of the players that Brian...

Re: How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

I'm with No Fixed Abode on this one. Brian's proved he's not all that this season. Clarke's team was showing signs of the wheels coming off, McDermott was appointed and he's only made it worse. McDermott had one terrific season as boss, fair play to him for that - but this season he's been an absolu...

Re: Message from the Thai's

They've said the right things there, although I'd have liked Brian to get a shout by name as the man to take us forward. I now look forward to people reading between the lines and making up stuff they think they see Brian underachieved. Massively. So if he was to get a mention, it would be in that ...

Anthony Smith ‏@Smudgersport 11m11 minutes ago Hearing Brian McDermott will meet #readingfc Thai owners this week to discuss future. Let's hope they back him in the transfer market. Let's hope they make it more than clear that this season was beyond sh*t, and things need to improve, fast. Also, let...

Re: Summer Rebuild 2016/2017

I work with some of Aaron Kuhl's mates and by the sound of things, he'll be off this summer. Apparently he's only been offered a one-year deal here and a longer deal elsewhere. Well my screen name is buggered :cry: We should be offering a 10 year deal to Kuhl, based on the hair alone. Plus I like h...

Re: SkyBet odds for next season.

Leicester have done all betting companies a MASSIVE favour. They didn't pay out THAT much, because hardally anybody had money on Leicester to win the title.

They'll make a oxf*rd fortune next season, when thousands and thousands of people put money on the small teams to win the league.

Re: How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

Surely if McDermott was wanted by anyone other than Reading, Fulham would have approached him, rather than Clarke. Sadly, McD isn't regarded as a 'top' manager at this level, and this season won't have done him any favours. If he was, he'd have gone straight back into management instead of scouting ...

Think he's too busy hanging out with Ballotelli at the moment to do anything with Reading.

Re: Bye Nicky

Like all of our managers (and those elsewhere) he was also responsible for bringing in some pretty expensive shyte that didn't work out and where he didn't get a reportedly high fee on their disposal. Not sure whether I am sad to see him go or not because currently it's pretty impossible to determi...

Re: Piazons time at Reading

Agree with some points here, but don't agree with those who are writing him off completely. Agree with all the "lightweight" comments, though the more he played, the better he dealt with "championship" defending. Focusing on his positives, other than Ola Ola Ola John I can't thin...

Re: Clarke interview on Goals on Sunday

I don't think Al Habsi is good enough to be honest. I'll stick to that. I do think Brian needs three years although because we have debated some of the factors that would result in a sacking, I have some flexibility in my position. If we are bottom at XMAS then I have to change my view, don' t I? F...

Re: Sack The Manager... REALLY?!

royalsroyalsroyals92 Glad to see that some people are in agreement! Let's keep it going with Brian. Give him 3 years at least - see what he can do with that, and then we can make a change if we need it.


Don't be so short-termist. He needs 5 years minimum. I hope he is given the time.

Re: How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

Not at all convinced with Mr. McDermott... Why on earth are we playing Cox & Kermogant up front? They've scored 1 league goal between them this season. Birmingham back line must have been laughing to themselves. I just don't get Brian's tactics. If we've thrown the towel in for the rest of this ...
