Re: ArsenaLOL

No need to seethe with VAR on the horizon. Personally even with the system in its current state of shambles, I'd happily take a couple of unnecessary delays every game if it means these dives don't get rewarded. I don't have that amount of faith in VAR. The idea of falling over as soon as you are e...

diving very quickly became accepted here didn't? no one is outraged by it anymore, we just shrug and let it carry on. shame. Some day there will be a revolution and FIiFA will come down hard on divers and it will be outlawed. We can all get sniffy about it whenever it happens thereafter. In the mea...

Awful penalty decision
Not even a good dive by Welbeck, more of an afterthought

Hoop Blah
bcubed The lack of regular starters is worrying


Regular for England, or regular for their clubs?


I meant for their clubs, although with squad rotation these days it's more difficult to say how many games is regular

Re: England - the future....

Personally I think it's lack of tactical nous (inability to break down well drilled defences) and lack of mental toughness ( as witnessed by the regular penalty failures) that are the biggest problems.

That and the fact that our players just aren't as good as we think they are

Re: New

Well, overall an enjoyable day out. Started off in O’Neills to watch the first half of the Man U v Liverpool game, wandered from there to the station to catch the bus over. Everything from there on showed what a slick operation everything is at Reading. Not sure if you all feel the same, but everyt...

bcubed Maybe, but there's absolutely no indication from the performances I've seen that we can get back to mean

If you were manager, which 3 players would you get rid of tomorrow?

More like which three would you keep?

Re: Relegation Watch

I totally disagree. Derby was very good and Bolton whilst not brilliant was 'fine'. Not great, granted but we got a point and the teams below lost so we made ground. We are moving in the right direction. Who's to say we can't scrape a point at Wolves and capitalise on a packed schedule? Who's to sa...

Re: Relegation Watch

But my main reason for such predictions is we are showing very little fight, seem to be getting worse, crowds lower and more miserable. I think if we lose to Leeds we will finish bottom I totally disagree. Derby was very good and Bolton whilst not brilliant was 'fine'. Not great, granted but we got...

Re: England - the future....

Today marks the 100 days until England's first game of the World Cup. I'm not really sure how the side will look with a number of players not firing on full cylinders at the moment. There are a number of players who looked nailed on a few months back who's form and fitness must be causing Southgate...

Re: New

Reading seem to be completely stuck in transition . Have been for 4/5 years having first been flogged to a Russian with no money and then being sold to Thais with a fetish for converting car parks into real estate who then sold to a Chinese brother and sister. The Chinese pair do appear to have mon...
