Peterborough United 3-2 Reading - the day when everything I'd ever said about Marek Matejovsky and Brendan Rodgers came to fruition.

From SPL to English Championship is too much of a step up for me.

One Unfounded Rumours and Gossip post, one new signing.

Obviously I knew this because I'm shagging Frankie from The Saturdays and she wanted to move closer to The AfterDark.

I'm probably the most in the know person on this entire board. Wayne Bridge will be a Reading player soon.

It's no coincidence that our best run in the Premier League came when Jimmy Kebe was fit. He is our best player by some distance and has the ability to turn a game on his own, no other Reading player can say that. Even if he has a bad game, it's normally because he's been doubled up on, freeing up s...

Totally agree with the above.

NA getting little response from current squad.

Not for the first time, my Dad (who has an irrational hatred for Nicky Hammond) has brazenly logged on my account and posted utter drivel. I can only apologise.

Personally, I think the common denominator is having less points than 17 other teams in the league.

It's Nicky Hammond. We got relegated for under-investing in quality players first time around, ditto this season. If he had been doing his job properly, he would have been urging AZ/Brian McD to invest in quality or suffer the consequences, based on his own experience. The fact that it hasn't happen...

I'm all for it. Wonderful woman and quite fit. Compare that with the common scouser - disgusting bunch and ugly. I know who I'm being silent for.

It's hilarious how so many on here give AZ the benefit of the doubt based on no evidence whatsoever and seem to think of him as some kindly benefactor. I prefer to look at his family's past (Google AZ's dad's business "dealings") and that TSI is a money-making vehicle (nothing wrong with t...

Who controls transfers at Reading isn't really clear, and is even less clear now. Is it Hammond? If not, what does he do? Zingarevich was supposedly negotiating with Spurs for Gylfi - so presumably he takes some responsibility? Didn't he push for the Pog? Brian always gave the impression that transf...

Brian McDermott completely murked Adkins managerially last season. I don't see how he represents anything more than a step sideways. In results but not in style of play, surely? Mate...have a look at what you've said. Real Life Scenario: Manager One: "My sales team are nothing fancy, but I've ...

I think overall it's pretty good. Getting Kebe was quite a coup - he was Second Division in France I think?! The truth is, none of us know enough about scouting to ascertain if we're doing a good job or not. I'm consistently confused as to why we can't find a Michu, but without knowing enough about ...

I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. In my eyes, not registering a single shot on target can be called many things, effective is not one of them. You don't have a chance in a game if you don't shoot between the two posts that hold up a net. At best you give yourself a c...

Tommy Burns - ineffectual passing style. Eamon Dolan's first game - ineffectual passing style. Catering staff of Tommy Burns produced Paul Brayson and Robert Fleck. Catering staff of modern era responsible for Danny Guthrie and Adam Federici. Call me the Compari-son of God. Yep, completely ineffect...

I am sure just about every pundit on telly (not that I believe half the blox they speak these days, eh Mr Redknapp? Yes you James) will state that the basis for turning anything around is to stop conceding goals. We conceded a flukey one on Saturday, and Taylor made two or three more saves off the ...

I'm torn about Pog. I can't help but think if we'd built a team around him he'd have done well this season. But then if he's not adaptable, he's got to take part of the blame. A goal every other game is a good return, especially for a struggling side, but his all-round play needed more.

Shots on target = 0. Massive improvement, well done lads. Passing the ball sideways will lead us on the road to riches, just ask Tommy Burns. Has to be said, 43% possession is a vast improvement, that is after all nine-tenths of the law. At best it was a gutsy performance, nothing to be ashamed of a...
