TheWhisperpaultheroyal Smash and grab by Fulham.
Farting at football is disgusting. Someone near me was absolutely rotten.
We had some awful smells around us, in the end I came to the conclusion that it must have been coming from the toilets underneath the stand

LWJ Why do some Reqding fans think we are now in a relegation fight?
7 points off the bottom 3 7 points off 9th. With yesterday's performance we will be comfortable for the rest of the season

Why? Because yesterday's performance yielded a big fat zero points. And performances like that, no matter how good, will continue to yield very few points unless the club act to ensure that we have better striking options than those currently available to Clarke.
Unfortunately it would appear that the club's standard contract for managers stipulates that they must produce the RFC transfer mantra whenever the window is open: 'If the right player becomes available at the right price (at RFC's, rather than the market's assessment), and will add something to the squad we already have, then we will do business.'
So that is why some Reading fans feel that we may face a relegation fight.
And BTW, Charles Watts (a relative neutral) felt that had we had a striker like Murray yesterday, we would have won easily.

yappy Hard to be too critical of that performance, the only real issue is that we were just not clinical enough. I was sat in corporate so probably didn't see the Blackman chance aswell as fans in the away end but looked like McCleary had played him through wonderfully and he just seemed to fall over. In recent years when we would have had Alfie coming off the bench rather than Blackman, we would've won that game. That miss aside McCleary played numerous decent crosses into the box and the likes of Pog & HRK all had decent chances to score.
Don't accept Paddy's criticism of HRK, thought he was decent today, however having McCleary back does make a massive difference.

Out of interest, in your own life do you regularly spend money you don't have?

Nine points in the last ten games points to us going one direction rather than the other.

RoyalBlue They also seem to believe in a different universe where the market operates in the manner that the directors at Reading FC believe it should and market prices are what they decide they are, rather than what the open market dictates.

As a Guardian reading, claret swilling Green-voting middle-aged middle-class football fan, I find your comments to be at best unwholesome, at worst downright rude Sir.

Players are only worth what clubs - in this case, us - are prepared to pay for them. There is no mystical market independent of that.
So far, signing players whose perceived value is less than their "actual value" has worked very well for us. It got us promoted to the Premier League twice, and has made us sustainably competitive at a high level. There is no reason to change this policy.

Were you the guy in the red jacket that kept shouting off off every time there was a free to kick to Fulham?
