Ipswich are mince. So are Reading. Home win with our usual sending off at that bloody place. I admire any Reading fan willin to pay the quite disgraceful £31 Ip$swich are charging to attend this match. Slightly off thread, but have you noticed the prices we are due to pay to attend Elland Road! Eye...

A game we dominated but for nothing. Seems that this line up is macs first choice. The worst possible start with two fantastic saves by fed's only to be let down by Kebe giving the ball away far to easy for there goal. Good hit he would only score that 1 out of 10 times. Thought they defended very ...

FA Cup 1st round draw.

Maidenhead Utd v Aldershot Town

Saturday 12th November

No game for Reading due to it being an international weekend.

Interesting,very interesting.

Did anyone go to the Aldershot friendly what must have been nearly 8-10 years ago now? I recall Ben Thornley was playing for you. It was raining bricks and stones then. Few fights in the ground and some carnage in the pub beforehand. Certainly did. After about 10 minutes play, one abiding memory I ...

Whilst I suspect no keeper is ever happy when they concede, Fed's own reactions after the ball went in suggested he felt he could and should have done better.

There was a good little pitch invasion at Walsall away. The game Keith Jones scored a perfectly good 'disallowed' goal. Without googling, anyone care to name the referee for that game for a nerd-point? It was either Webb or Bennett, not sure which. 95% sure it was a) Webb and b) either his first ev...

Used to park in or around Greenfields Road behind Lidl. Broken into thanks to a brick through a window after one of the infamous Walsall trilogy games. After QPR (Murty penalty) came back to find tyre slashed. Almost grateful as the scrots on most other cars around mine had had 2 tyres done and when...

what about AFCB away in 1994. Last game of the season (and we'd already won the league), moved to a Thursday night due to Dorset's finest still being a little twitchy about policing "high profile" end of season games after Leeds re-decorated the town 3-4 years before. Not sure exactly how ...

I still maintain that whilst messers Shorey and Murty weren't our best players in the glory years, they were the most important in how we played. The side is crying out for full backs to bomb on more to support Jimmy and Mac and with 2 defensive midfielders in the side, especially Jem, we have playe...

now confirmed off on the OS

On Charlton Life, couple of bods have said that the game tomorrow has been postponed

I must profess, my knowlegde of keeping is somewhat limited as I played full back. However I do recognise a keeper who, instead of coming out and dealing with a long loopy cross, simply skips across his line and flaps his hands in the air or a keeper who instead of collecting a high cross or at leas...

Not quite sure what game S&C was at, but Fed was fully / partially at fault for both goals. As for the saves that the BBCRB crowd were banging on about, the first one just hit him (why the Millwall striker just didn't dink it over his head I do not know) and the second was a good but routine sa...

His first touch lets him down, if he sorts that out he has the raw attributes His decision making often let's him down too. It's his tendency to run the ball out of play for no apparent reason I'd like him to improve Until recently this applied to HRK. I lost count the number of times he ran the ba...

Nearly right, but 20 miles too far south and west........off to Leeds

on the up side, Easter weekend down in sunny Brighton

Gut feel is no whilst SJM remains in charge. This is no slight on SJM and the "get the chequebook out Mad" brigade will one day thank their lucky stars we have such a person at the helm when a Pompey / Cardiff goes to the wall. I for one remember the days of playing in front of 2,500 on a ...

Now on youtube and worth a listen

Like him or loathe him, he has a passion for all things Reading FC.

Still doesn't quite beat his commentary on Sig's goal at WBA when his voice went up 10 octaves........

There is every chance that we could be top 6 once again next season. What I would suggest however is that any business we do make, whether it be in or out, is made before the end of July. Those wholesale changes at the end of August meant we were very slow out the blocks, and arguably cost us a pla...
