thought it worked well for us last year etc. got semi competitive football for our youngsters which is what it was all about not really bothered about the crowds If "not really bothered about the crowds" wasn't an option, can you provide me with your estimate of how many Reading fans woul...

Get Joe Hart Wasn't he shoved out to Italy because he wasn't a ball-playing goalie? Which is the only criticism of AAH? Don't think that makes much sense. Good point. Maybe we need someone from abroad then as it is a continental style that we play *launches footballer manager 2017 and sets filters*

Thought it was something like 1 million release clause Surely the release clause is for if he wants to go but the club doesn't want to let him - and I think it would take either a massive pay-rise, or a total lack of first team football for him to want to go to 'Boro. So if there is a sale, it will...

Problem is you guys appear to have all been spoilt by first and second tier players. If you want genuine dross, go back to the early 1970's when we were in the lower reaches of tier 4. Malcolm Swain anyone? The worst footballer I have ever seen for any side. Bollocks Nobody in the 1970s could only ...

NewCorkSeth Liam Moore's penalty taking.

Not having that. Leave Moore alone.

PistolPete Andre Bikey needs to be involved

character? Or brain?

After seeing this post here http://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=135263&p=4493732#p4493732 I got to remembering that other site's 'Building the perfect ReadingFC footballer' https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2016/10/30/13470750/building-the-perfect-reading-fc-footballer (Whi...

The sooner we can sign these players and the football season can start the better. I hate spending Saturday's with a woman. I can't wait for QPR away. Bring the game on. Football's just like a woman. Costs a lot of money, sometimes makes you happy and invariably more often than not will frustrate t...

Some stuff I picked up on last night using local countries google in native languages. Excellent work overall. Did you get any sleep last night? - Jaap Stam 's old house and car are up for sale if anyone's interested. Also his contract is close to, if not already, done. this one intrigued me - is i...

What would the average Sunderland fan want from his or hers away day? A trip to an art gallery? Maybe a chance that the local Shakespeare company are putting on a production of The Merchant Of Venice? Perhaps the film club maybe running a season of Federico Fellini films? My guess would be Wethersp...

so its not always about not being good enough but being in the right place at the right time. Definitely true - Antonio was good enough, but wasn't in the right place at the right time. Him leaving was the best thing for him. May well turn out to be the same for these guys. They've had a good groun...

Just to confuse things, we are playing a Dutch side for a preseason friendly, but not in Holland http://rdng.co/RFCvsVitesse Although maybe we'll be playing them over there as well? Edit: - from link: this match will be the Royals’ only first team pre-season friendly played on home soil in front of ...

Gunter frustrates me, as he does pretty much everyone to some extent, as I think he has shown the capability. Him and McCleary sometimes combine beautifully, and when he does race down the wing he can cross a good ball (thinking the Swift miss vs Fulham as an example) just does it so rarely. But i ...

it seems that every club in the country is developing young players for clubs lower down the structure. Ours get cast off to League 1 and 2, and we get cast offs from the Premier League. Then the PL itself gets them in from outside the U.K. All seems a bit weird really. Not really when you think ab...

This is a good signing imo if the fee is low. Also it would allow Watson to go on loan and play regularly for a season Agree re Watson. Another season of playing hardly any games will do him no good. A loan to a good Div 1 side and 40 games under his belt and he will be the finished article. Being ...

John Smith I'd take Lawrence any day in any position.

Oh so would I.

Telegraph saying we want him and he's available for £1.5m. I'd definitely have him for that price. Talk Reading (who are generally pretty reliable) http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/maxwell_smart__confused.gif From what I've seen, they post links to articles/tweets about Readin...
