    Better without clinghan?

    The problem when Clingan is in the team is he is the easy option pass for the defence and midfield and therefore everything goes through him (like it did when Gary Mac was here) problem is it makes us very predictable and easy to defend against as the focus of any attacks start with Clingan...

    Kettering Friendly tomorrow 15/02/12

    Shows how far Kettering have sunk when the best they can attract is Coventry..... Actually good on the club for filling in at short notice to help raise money for a fellow club.

    Keys - this takeover will take a while

    As I understand the ACL situation. and please correct me if I am wrong OSB, ACL does make an operating profit but this is all used to pay off the £20 million loan it has to service and anything left is reinvested back into the business to improve the infrastructure etc leaving nothing to be be...

    Favourite City song?

    I used to love the Big Mo song - never the greatest technically but had the heart of a lion.

    Anyone see anything but defeat tonight?

    Having heard McSheffs roars of defiance in the local press I am sure we will witness a one man wonder show where he will sweat Sky Blue blood, win countless tackles, set up two goals and score a hatrick..............picked the wrong week to give up those magic mushrooms

    Stewards told to take sisu out balloons off fans!!!

    Rob - as I say not disputing it happened as I'm sure it did - just puzzled that if SISU did ask Reading to do it what they hoped to achieve by it? They are allowing protest at the Ricoh so why would they be bothered by a few balloons at Reading - just bizarre. I sincerely hope that you take up...

    Portsmouth set to go into Admin tomorrow

    Have faith - financial irregularities with Doncasters weird transfer policy will see a 10 point deduction there, Forest will be deducted 15 points after Stuart Pearces racist comments whilst at Forest and Portsmouths 15 points for admin - see simples! SISU and AT did know what they was doing...

    where are the loan signings

    I did say realistic - Jason Roberts signed by Reading on a permanent contract and at 30k a week his wages would be way above what we could afford, even if he did take a substantial cut to join a club heading for League 1.

    Stewards told to take sisu out balloons off fans!!!

    The main reason for not complying would be the ill feeling and potential trouble such heavy handed action could cause, as it did at our game against Derby when SISU managed yet another golden PR own goal. I am sure it happened but cannot see Reading doing it just cos Cov / SISU asked them to -...

    Stewards told to take sisu out balloons off fans!!!

    Glenn - sorry to burst your balloon (please excuse the terrible pun) but that article is just a rehash of Kev Monks' article off his own site so is hardly gospel! If true its very petty by SISU and hard to understand - if SISU are OK about us protesting at our own ground as they now appear to be...

    where are the loan signings

    I suspect that there are players we would like but cannot afford their wages eg: Kitson or we would like but they don't want to come here eg: Hulse or there simply aren't that many useful options out there. Haven't noticed any real realistic experienced striking gems joining other Championship...

    a rumour from a "source"

    Didn't say she was stopping me - just she didn't understand. Browse! Browse! Jesus I wish she'd just browse........

    a rumour from a "source"

    I did say rational - sadly love for a failing football club isn't rational - bit like her obsession with shoes and handbags but apparently those are more essential to life than food or oxygen and I just don't understand.

    a rumour from a "source"

    Rob - what you have said is the real worry for me in the way the club is run - for thousands of us going to the footy on a Saturday is a way of life but as soon as you stop going you fill your time and the danger will never go back, nor will you bring your kids etc and generations will be lost...

    a rumour from a "source"

    All the people who keep going on about not being at the Ricoh next season if SISU are in charge etc - what are you going to do if Hoffman cannot put a deal together, let alone one that is acceptable to SISU? Don't see too many alternatives if he fails? Personally I want SISU out and, if he...

    a rumour from a "source"

    KH - astonishingly I am lead to believe the Bell salary is accurate I'm afraid. Just for info I am also told that Westwood's salary went up 10 fold to around 30k a week on his move to Sunderland and Jukes nearly 3 fold to 20k at boro.

    a rumour from a "source"

    Then I would suggest should individual players wages ever be announced in public please prepare to be amazed. No sarcasm intended but do you really expect anyone on here to have actual documentary evidence? If we relied on just that it would be very quiet on here - its a forum not a court of law.
