Arshavin would not fit with Brian's style of play.

John Madejski's Wallet [
But iirc Pearce has been utter gash whenever he's played on the left side of CB,

You don't remember correctly, he played well to the left of Mills when Zurab was injured, and he was playing better than HNA gave him credit for before that too.

Do not understand why our biggest aerial threat (Pearce) has been suddenly dropped. Gorkks is good for all his experience but will not develop any further as a player. Pearce on the other hand I'm pretty sure was once being compared to the young John Terry of ten years ago. Its obvious to everyone ...

Want: McCarthy; Gunter, Pearce, Mariappa, Shorey; Kebe, Legs, Guthrie, McAnuff; Roberts, Pog/Hunt/ALF
We'll get: McCarthy; Cummings, Mariappa, Gorkss, Shorey; Kebe, Legs, Tabb, McAnuff; Roberts/Hunt, Pog

I don't think this is worth getting worked up over. It's a tiny sample size, 12 or 13 fans per club, which will never be representative of the country as a whole. I bet we could find 12 Reading fans who think Dominic Samuel should be playing ahead of Jason Roberts.

I think you're being harsh on many of the Arsenal players there, Hoop. Koscielny played 43 matches last season and has already played 7 this season. Djourou played 29 last season. Giroud is a very good striker and was involved heavily in the comeback. Arshavin has been disappointing for Arsenal rece...

Curbs - NEVER!! Poyet - YES PLEASE!! Hoddle - NEVER!! Dolan - Maybe, but concerned same 'Reading Way' and long ball continues.. Gibbs - NEVER!! Malky - NO Redknapp - YES PLEASE!! ole gunnar solskjaer - Maybe Powell - NO Pearson - NEVER!! Sven - NEVER!! Fabio - NO Lulz. Anyone who wouldn't want Fabi...

McCarthy 6- couldn't be faulted for any of the goals, but otherwise only had simple saves to make. Good distribution choices, particularly as he can't kick. Cummings 5- good going forward, but deary me, his marking seems to cost us every week. Bring Gunter back in. Mariappa 7- our best defender Gork...

marcusopp Our wide options are very good. Not many clubs outside the top 4 have a player of McCleary's quality on the bench.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, West Brom, QPR, Norwich, Swansea, Southampton, West Ham?

(That's over half the clubs who weren't in last season's top four and aren't Reading)

If the footballing world is institutionally racist against black managers, then I don't think having to interview them will make a jolt of difference. If boards don't want to hire black people, they won't hire them. What are the current stats for black managers? 6 out of 97 (given Barnet have two ma...

I just remembered Duberry and De la Cruz. A couple of old timers might be what we need. some experienced heads. They may not have played much but offered more advice and support than i'd imagine Simon Church De La Cruz was a free iirc, and Duberry was in January. Our signings in the first window: S...

If he gets his place back in the team after the way Alex Mc has played over recent games then an awful lot of people are going to be very unhappy - because that's not the way BMc has worked in the past. That's exactly how BMc works. If a senior player is injured, it doesn't matter how well his depu...

Presumably Man U, Man City and Arsenal ( All teams who do not know a good player when they see him), will now forget about Zaha and look at our players! It's always nice to know that other RFC fans know all about football! - NOT!!!!!!!! But none of those clubs would consider signing Zaha for their ...

All three have outperformed Zaha at Championship level.

2-3.
Sahin 12
Sterling 34

Gunnarsson 88, 89, 90+4

There's a lot of Pog choices on here (for obvious reasons) and a lot of Alfies, but not that many Hunts. I don't know the exact stats but he's probably our best goals/minutes on pitch player (if not he's got to be close), and it can't be a coincidence that Doyle, Long, Roberts & the Pog all pla...

Why did we have a dead referee on one wing?

Most teams seem to be going with 4-5-1 at the minute, so why have 4 defenders picking up one striker...play 3 defenders and get the midfield passing and retaining possession... If you play 3 defenders then the problem gets worse. With a back four, you have two full backs dealing with the opposition...

We are stuck with what we have until January. I can see why BM brought two forwards on as Swanasea needed to attack. Tabb was not good enough in the championship so why is he any better in the prem? Again lack of investment. Zaha got another two yesterday! Tabb was good enough in the Championship. ...
