I lied about the last post being my last. Thought best to address some of the comment since, especially those kindly asking me to stick around. This will be my last. I came back to this forum to have genuinely good conversations with people about football, but if any post I make has the...

I'll make this my last post on this forum. Clearly not welcome, and I know I am causing more of an issue for everyone so best to leave. I'll respond to the final few messages just come in. Of course Sam Smith hasn't returned to Reading purely because he used to play for their academy. But...

We're not going to see eye to eye. I've stated facts, you've stated opinions. Lets end it at that.

How do you know that Reading offered more than Cambridge? Now whilst it is probably true, there is more to offers then just pay, such as long-term prospects, location etc. Sam Smith for example came through our academy and may have wanted to come back. As a fanbase we have seen our club be...

Where to start with this, a lot of fabrication in this statement. I assume there has been no Reading fans on this forum this season and these false statements have been allowed to fester? Reading's transfer embargo during last Summer was that we were not allowed to pay transfer fees, loan fees...

Administration and liquidation are two different things. With administration you atleast have the opportunity for a saviour to come in and buy what remains on the cheap, with the only football penalty a 12 point deduction. With liquidation you completely go out of business the next day. The only...

Should we have rolled over and let our club die? Like the two other clubs that our owner has liquidated. It was unfortunate that it was against Port Vale, but unfortunately drastic action by Reading fans needed to be taken. Three years of protests getting little coverage and movement, and one...

Reading were on the beach today.. quite literally with the amount of sand on the Pirelli Stadium pitch But we have a tendency to crack and let in a load of goals when one goes in. Classic examples being the league's lowest scorers in Shrewsbury were able to score 6 goals against us this...

I would expect that we are not paying Bouzanis or Jokull's wages this season, probably covered by loans. I don't think (paying wages for) 3 goalkeepers is that excessive either, especially as one is only young academy player. Certainly not a cause for our problems. A backup keeper at this...

23 separate transactions in a year with agents is a lot, no? Unfortunately in football you cannot avoid them. Imagine if you averaged out to an agent fee per transaction we wouldn’t be far from average. I know for incomings last season we were limited to around half the market average for...

I also have all of the data together to work out who made the best predictions in the Summer... May have to remind me after the final round of games. Let me know if you want to be taken off the final rankings! :err:

Is the collective intelligence of TFF accurate at predicting the league one table? .. Here's the average league table predictions from the Summer across all 36 people who predicted 1-24s; 1 Derby (2.28) 2 Bolton (3.11) --------------------- 3 Portsmouth (3.83) 4 Blackpool...

Was not sure whether to talk about our situation with takeover still ongoing, but seen it pointed out that we'll either be taken over and in League One next season, or not been taken over and won't see out next season.. In Contract: Goalkeepers- David Button, Dean Bouzanis, Jokull Andresson...

Seen a lot of comments like this on this forum, not sure where all of the sour grapes has come from. Clearly someone who has no idea on our situation, or on agent fees. A more simple explanation on Agent Fees: Most of our agent fees will likely come from our Player Sales. We have made over...

FACT: Reading's away attendances are shit

Everything I have said is fact, but keep insulting me if it makes you feel any better.

QPRs allocation is a fair bit bigger than 1800...

Our away attendances are shit.. no need to mention it every time. Yours a hardly the greatest either. Given league positions and timings - no worse than the 1800 you took to QPR last Saturday? And let's not mention the 400 you took to a top of the table clash with Sheffield United a few weeks ago.

Season rating? 4/10. After finishing last season only two penalties away from the Prem, and then going on to spend the most money in our history (and amongst the highest in the league) to be out of the play-off picture halfway gone is terrible. I wasn't expecting us to make the play-offs...

All we can hope for is a reversal of the game at the Madejski, and as the away team try and nick a goal to win it as Bristol City did to us earlier in the season. Although this should be a fairly routine victory for them. Very much doubt this will be Stam's last game if we lose. We've lost our...
