Re: Stadium

Yeah I've seen a video of the top layer of plastic getting burned off, revealing a bright colour beneath. Or whatever the scientific process is. I am sure our seats are capable of that. I think they need to get the safe standing rails sorted sooner rather than later. I can see it becoming a require...

Re: What was the last player that you were gutted that left/sold

Players from the past couple of seasons were so popular and had such a great connection with the fans that it was sad when a lot of them left. Mbengue is a great example - they already absolutely love him at QPR and I think if he has a good couple of seasons there he has the capacity to move into th...

Re: Injury watch 2025/26

I think there's a time and place for more 'competitive' training, to give it a euphemistic name. Early in the season, if there's been a high turnover of players, I think you probably want to see players giving it a right go in training and competing for places in the team. Equally, if you're struggl...

Re: Jack Marriott / strikers

Millsy Kebe.

Not a striker and didn't score 20+ but it's Kebe: he doesn't need stats to qualify for lists.


Does what he wants doesn't he.

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

Saw Chris Armstrong mentioned. Player of Season 08-09 and revealed, after retiring, he'd been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in that season. Fondly remembered here. Yep, Armstrong was class that season. Very sad end to his career. I recall him coming back for a couple of games in the 10/11 seaso...

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

I remember the final day of (checks notes) 14/15 when Jack Stacey started alongside some other youngsters, having impressed in his other cameos earlier that season. He got injured, Tariqe Fosu came on for him and looked like a real gem while we won 3-0 and ruined Derby's play-off dream. Fosu never ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

Good result, not a great performance but we're a squad, and club, in transition so it will take a fair while to see us looking more settled. I think some people are losing sight of that. New signings are looking good and will still take some time to bed in, but they're leaders and will help the youn...

Re: Rumour - Gareth Ainsworth

As much as I love Selles I don't think he should come back here. It's a very different squad to the one he left and we also have the added expectation this season, which is much more difficult than the siege mentality he operated in previously. If Hunt does go - I personally think he's earnt this se...

Re: Ex Royals

It's a real shame for Selles but Sheff U was always a poisoned chalice. I'm sure he will get a nice pay off but I feel this will hurt his reputation and he may need to look overseas for the next challenge. I anticipate Bindon's loan will be cut short in January as Wilder won't play him. He really se...

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Slight Robbie Keane vibes in his statement. However I will give him a chance - no one seems to know too much about him so we'll just have to wait and see how his involvement pans out. I hope he doesn't turn up in a pair of cowboy boots with a big belt buckle though. We could have rodeos during the ...

Re: Ex Royals

Yeah Carson was a strange one. I think he played on trial in the under 21s in the Championship relegation season, possibly even alongside Bindon, and got some good reviews. I always thought he looked pretty useful when he did play and had a wand of a left peg but I guess you never know what is going...

Re: Garcia to be sold

Garcia's developing physicality could hold him back slightly this year if he has bad growing pains etc., but it sounds like the club have that in mind and he will hopefully be managed well. There's a very good player in there and I think if we get it right, he could be another one to go for some dec...

Re: Ex Royals

He must be really good at putting cones out or something.

In fairness, I think I recall someone from Chelsea saying he's an amazing coach and they loved his sessions, but that won't always translate to management.

I only watched on telly and have only been to a few away games in the past couple of years but a lot of our supporters do seem to be completely retarded.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Swindon Town (a)

I thought Fraser played well, and he looked like he wanted to impress. I think him playing in the holding role is the route to getting Wing further forward, but Noel doesn't want to do that it seems so for now he'll be restricted to the bench. Ryan was good again and I think has done enough to be at...

Does feel like a bit of a damp squib without a big name behind it, Wrexham have Ryan Reynold, Brum have Tom Brady, who exactly do we have? Get Winslet or Gervais on the board. Clooney lives down the road, get him as well. Gervais doesn't give a shit about the club or football - he has not obligatio...
