Re: Come back Charles Watts

GR has become unreadable on an i-pad...jumping around, freezing and re-opening all the time.......takes about six or seven attempts to read through any topic. Pretty much given up on it ........ which is possibly just as well. Particularly hate the fact that every page triggers a video starting and...

Re: Royal Elm Park

I got the impression from Nige that they needed to flog the flats to be able to pay for the convention centre, hence his lack of desire to make too many affordable? I thought the S106 was going to provide for the affordable housing quote to be built elsewhere, allowing REP to be exclusive of any so...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Help me out here..... The Thai's want to sell a stake, thought to be 75%, but now unknown amount in Reading FC to the Yongge's. This only relates to the football part of the company though, not the entire holdings, which also includes the land around the stadium which will make up Royal Elm Park. S...

Re: Royal Elm Park

Regarding the free travel, the idea in principle is good enough, but driving into the town centre on a Saturday to find a car park is a complete pain in the backside at the best of times, esp if a load of footy fans start to use the car parks as well. I'm guessing there is nothing in the plans to b...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Nottingham Forest (a) sponsored by nearly there now

Played right wing back which isn't his natural position. He works hard but isn't a defensive minded player. Played well in the same role at Villa Park Stam should have known Carayol's threat. Both Gunter and Popa were consistently rinsed by him in the first half and early second until Popa went off...

genome I don't think Lady Sasima ever got over being booed by 4,000 Leeds fans.


She knitted a Royal Blue scarf for herself for the FA Cup semi-final - that's true love shirley!

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

I am very confused having just listened to an interview with "Tiger"! He contradicted many things that "Lady Sas." said in her interview on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, but I don't know how to post a link to it, but if you go to The Tilehurst End website, there is a l...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Would love for a return to the black/red away kits. The ones from 10/11 and 14/15 are my favourite away shirts, especially the latter. Maybe go for black/red hoops?

Re: BFTG - Forest

Watson. He'd quickly become the new scapegoat I think. Couldn't stop Reading conceding 2 against Leicester, or Chelsea, in the last two U23 games he played - and we all know how influential the rightback/right wing-back position is, so it was clearly his fault. :lol: In all seriousness, I wish he'd...

Re: Rival Watch

So, Newcastle promoted. None of the staff or players seem that bothered and the fans muster only mild applause. Weird. The expectation was promotion, was the minimum aim, and tbh it's never really looked in doubt. Job done by all accounts. Championship is small fry for them. I guess so, but you'd e...

Re: BFTG - Forest

Gunter was in the side that got relegated, he was in the side for the last two useless seasons and this year he is in the side that has a dreadful record defending away from home-even the dimmest can surely see that there is a link there.

Re: BFTG - Forest

As for Stam, a top defender and yet , for whatever reason, cannot get his team to defend as successfully as they do at home. Presumably tactics do come into it as the defenders are the same players. I think it revolves around the ever-present Gunter in that he has played every game, home and away, ...

I gotta ask. How many games is that each? Well you could have counted yourself :-) 13 away games for McShane as captain, 9 for Gunter. But I made a couple of mistakes. One, Rotherham, Gunter started as captain, but Macca came on (and scored the winning goal). So I'll include that one in Macca's tot...
