Although it is unlikely that Kitson will get a call up, there's no harm in singing it at the match on Saturday. It's just a way of letting him know that we all appreciate what he's doing for us at the moment. And, it worked for Shorey! :wink: If "working" means making sure he spent a coup...

I think that it was obvious to all who saw the Wigan game that the players confidence is shot to shreads. These players do not become bad overnight but the lack of confidence is causing the problem and mistakes are being made leading to goal after goal. We all saw the quality strike from downing in ...

although i'd love to see Kitson playing for England, he's already said he's not interested. But yes, he would a quality player for England and he'd do us Royals very proud (well he'd do me proud, don't know about the rest of the nobbers). Another thing, if Pearce (U21 manager) had picked him for th...

1-0 Kitson

Both those third goals (Bolton & today) came in stoppage time when the games were already lost. Some may say it doesn't matter but in the Prem it does.

If we hadn't conceeded them we wouldn't be in the bottom 3

Hahnemann 5 - Nowhere near first goal and put us on back foot Murty 4 - For all the huff and puff was nowhere when Etherington bagged his 2 goals Shorey 5 - Didn't get too many crosses in Ingimarrson 5 Duberry 5 Fae 6 Harper 5 - effort but no result Gunnarrson 4 - Ineffective Hunt 5 - Ineffective Do...

Born in Laaaden.Lived most of my life in Reading.Lived all over the shop.The gravitational pull of Reading draws me back from time to time from my meanderings. That should be Laaanden where I was born. Lived in Reading from a child until got married and moved to Brisstle. So wasn't born in Reading ...

I can see Lineker and co. discussing second season syndrome on match of the day after our first few fixtures. I doubt that they will compare our results with the season just finished. So if we repeat results against Man.U/Chelsea/Everton we will have zero points.

this cannot include promotion to the prem or any other leagueso mine would have to be the simod cup semi final ,ohhhhh what a night that was I think that the Simod semi final was the most meroable and greatest moment that i have experienced following Reading. The tension and then of course relief d...

Of our current crop of players the best chances are Shorey Sidwell Kitson Lita But as mentioned they will have more chances if they move to a 'larger ' club or there is a spate of injuries and they are getting a rave review each week. As it is a problem position (left side) Shorey is brightest pros...

The fans were also asked to name their top 5 opposition players. Mentions for Reading were Sidwell (Newcastle I think) Lita (Can't remember which club) Lita/Doyle (Watford) Harper (Boro) Shorey also made it into one of their coloumnists Team of the season and she also had Ingimarson on the bench. I...

Highlight. Taking the lead against Man.U
Low light. Result against Watford coupled with crowd leaving early

tom_t69 Surley James should be keeper has had great season and how can you have essien at cm when he has only started 5 games there all season, and hasnt finished any of them. Should be stevie g instead.

Perhaps James should smile more then he wouldn't be seen as surley.

brendywendy sir nicky appears to be about to get an england B cap according to talk sport

Also in one of today's red tops.

Can't see it mentioned elsewhere but in this month's 442 magazine he is in the team of the season. Well done Nicky. Team in full is Goal. Ben Foster.Watford LB.Shorey :D RB.Finnan. Liverpool CB.Carvalho.Chelsea CB.Vidic.Man.U Mid.Fabregas.Arsenal Mid.Scholes.Man.U Mid.Essien.Chelsea Winger.Ronaldo.M...

Top 4 anyone? That, quite frankly, is laughable Really, why? a win against watford and if Arse and Pool had not done the double over us how close would we be? If Liverpool had fielded their reserve side (like they did in their game against Fulham) we would have beaten them with the performance we p...

And what about all those nob heads that made for the exits as soon as the 2nd goal went in? Yes we are all dissappointed to lose to the crap that is Watford but don't you think the players deserve a round of applause at the very least for what has been a truly unbelievable first season in the premie...

The penalty reminded me of the one that was awarded for us against Man U. Ball bounced up and hit Neville on the arm. In no way intentional, but did interfere with the flight of the ball. When you talk of things being evened up during the season I thought of that Neville penalty which whilst harsh ...

Fred should have fouled malcolm mcdonald during the luton game when it was one on one - thats a life time ago what about percy freeman & les chappel anyone remember them? My memorieof Percy Freeman were his wayward shooting normally taking out spectators behind the goal. Barrel chested centre f...

I don't worship Friday, but I know what I saw, and it was very,very good. It's been said before but a recent simalarity must be someone like Jamie Cureton. Brilliant in the third tier, but he didn't quite make the same impact a flight up and I'm sure he wouldn't in our current team. Jamie Cureton i...
