Highlight Of My Weekend...
By Martin | May 12th, 2008* The season is over! It's over! It's over! * I found £20 (2x£5 and 1x£10) in my work trousers (pants for those of you who use the term 'Soccer')... * ... They had gone through the washing machine but were protected between some receipts. Not ...
Pre Reading Prayers
By Martin | May 11th, 2008It's the end of the season as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiiiiiiiiine. If you didn't know already, our season ended a while ago so expect a party atmosphere at Pride Park today, especially if we beat Reading after their comments about our great cl ...
Episode 22: Superclásico, Ligue 1 and Premiership Roundup
By Ian Rose | May 8th, 2008It's that time of the week again, and after a week of technical glitches that made me very nearly give up on the computer altogether, we are back with Pod episode 22. Joining me for this one are Christian Reyes, who is still licking his wounds a bit ...
Fulhamerica, **** Yeah!
By Ian Rose | May 3rd, 2008(Note: A little something for the ladies, courtesy of Brian McBride. If you're going to make a post with this many goal differential numbers in it, you need to add in some eye candy to get some butts in the seats.) The lyrics to the above-referen ...
Next Time Hleb May Go for the Punch, not the Slap
By Laurie | April 22nd, 2008Was it a slap, a punch, or just a little love-tap? I've watched this something like five times now and can't figure out either the strength of the blow or the intent behind it. (Well, obviously the intent wasn't "to express great affectio ...
Easy, yet still frustrating
By travis | April 21st, 2008Three points, too little too late. With the slight hope of second place as a decent target (a Man United win this weekend win help lots), Arsenal look to finish the season with three wins. Next weekend should be a formality with a visit to Derby Coun ...
Time to bring out the whooping stick.
By travis | April 18th, 2008Now that the season is over with four games remaining, it's time to take out all this frustration of the last month on Reading. They still have something to play for, seeing that they are not yet safe from the relegation zone. And with Fulham probabl ...
Finally, Finally...
By timmyg | April 13th, 2008Fulham finally did it. After a season of countless leads dropped while away, they finally managed to stay in front. After last weekend's absolute debacle, the squad put forth a performance not seen in years. I really wish I could express more ins ...
Forster secures new deal
By rich | April 9th, 2008Following on from my post about the Reading/Newcastle game at the weekend and the new emerging talent coming through the ranks at St James, young 20 year old keeper Fraser Forster has secured a new deal at the Toon until 2010. Forster, who has imp ...
Toon marching on...
By rich | April 6th, 2008That was impressive wasnt it. We turned on the style and gave in a performance that we've been desperately lacking lately. A 3-0 demolition of Reading yesterday served two purposes. 1, It gave us a step closer to safety. I know many people think we h ...
Im Back
By rich | April 4th, 2008Welcome back readers. My problems have been fixed by the boys at The Offside, and now i can blog regularly again. Which is good news for me, and hopefully good news for you. Anyway down to business, KK(Kevin Keegan) has reiterated the import ...
Spurs on to 4th Round of FA Cup
By Richard | January 15th, 2008Robbie Keane's goal 15 minutes in was all Spurs needed as they are now through to the 4th round of the FA Cup. Spurs prize for winning at Madejski Stadium? A trip to the Old Trafford! I guess if we're going to go down I would rather it be while playin
Transfer bytes
By Lucas | January 14th, 2008The Stephen Hunt sweepstakes are now up to £5 million, and a deal to bring the Reading winger to Wearside is close to being completed (though Hunt, playing his best Sergeant Schultz, knows nothink!). Remember when Sunderland were peeking at Chelsea be
Reading 0-2 Portsmouth
By b-man | January 2nd, 2008It wasn't quite the 7-4 thriller from earlier in the season, but it was hardly dull! Within the first few minutes Reading's Ibrahima Sonko was sent off for a foul on Benjani. Niko Kranjcar stepped up to take the penalty, and with the technique he has a
Tis the Season
By Lucas | December 21st, 2007Ahead of the Christmas/New Years period, which will see Sunderland play 4 games in 11 days (followed by the FA Cup tie vs Wigan 3 days after that), there are some disconcerting transfer rumors in the air. First is the report that Chelsea may make a £1
Transfer Rumors: Hunt to Black Cats?
By Lucas | December 18th, 2007Ahead of Saturday's match at Madejski Stadium, the Sunderland Echo is reporting multiple rumors involving Reading players coming to Sunderland during the January transfer window. As I earlier reported in this space, Roy Keane has been looking very clos
Reading goals
By Dan Clough | October 21st, 2007Three crackers! Tugay's is definitely a contender for goal of the season! No sound, sorry...
Rovers 4 - 2 Reading
By Dan Clough | October 21st, 2007Sorry I haven't updated for a couple of days. Had a laptop disaster and have been unable to turn the bluddy thing on. Ok now though... Thank God! Reading's leaky defence had to come to terms with conceding four more as Rovers battered the Royals at For
Oh no an injury crisis!!
By Dan Clough | October 17th, 2007Matt Derbyshire limped out of the England under-21's game with Ireland last night to make him the third Rovers casualty up front. Although it isn't definite whether he'll miss Saturday or not, it's still a blow. Santa is already out and Rob
The countdown begins
By Dan Clough | October 15th, 2007It's now been eight days since our last game. For those with short memories we beat Birmingham 2-1 in a historic match that will live long in the memory. Now, it's just five more days until Premiership action returns and we host Reading at fortress Ewo
Kanu a doubt for the Reading game
By b-man | September 28th, 2007It looks as if Kanu will miss Pompey's game against Reading on Saturday. The Nigerian legend is still recovering from knee and thigh injuries, and is doubtful to put in an appearance at Fratton Park. Kanu has started the season well and he really brings a
Reading 2; Liverpool 4
By ed | September 26th, 2007Phew, what a game. Back and forth and back and forth again before we eased clear. 4-2 doesn’t really do the Liverpool performance justice – Convey’s goal, while a superb strike, was through a veritable bevy of offside Reading players and how Tor
EPL Round 6: Sunderland AFC vs Reading FC
By Lucas | September 15th, 2007With the players wearing black armbands in memoriam of Ian Porterfield, Sunderland gave their home fans a dominant and inspiring show today, winning 2-1 over struggling Reading FC. Absent from the lineup were injured wingers Carlos Edwards and Kieran Ric
4 Points Never Felt So Good
By Rob | August 20th, 2007Heading into this opening week of doom, I figured 3 points would be the demarcation point for Reading. Less than 3, and they'd have fought to one or two draws, which would have been respectable, but still a slow start in a league where sluggishness out of
Reading 1-2 Chelsea 'We Want Our Title Back.....'
By Andy | August 16th, 2007How much more good news do you want in a space of a few days? Firstly Man Utd drop points at home to Reading (and from a club point of view and NOT England), Rooney gets injured. Chelsea win their first game. Next up, Man Utd drop ANOTHER two point
PREVIEW: Reading v Chelsea
By Andy | August 15th, 2007Jose Mourinho has announced that right-back Paulo Ferreira is back in tonight's squad for the game at Reading and Jose's only concern is 'the train or the King of Ghana' Michael Essien's fitness after he limped off in Sunday's enthralling and entertai
The Failure to Beat Reading -- 10 Personal Observations
By Nick | August 13th, 2007I'm sure if you saught the collective mood of United fans this morning, you'd likely find a somewhat somber lot -- and for good reason. So what can we take from the match after the lack of goals/loss of Rooney double whammy? Let's see... 1. John O'Shea
Royal Visit Becomes a Royal Pain in the Arse
By Nick | August 13th, 2007Well, wasn't that simply not much fun. For not only did we fail to win a match we might later come to regret, in doing so, Rooney fractures a bone in his foot (again!). I blame those new ballet shoes boots. It was a massively frustrating game to watch
Chelsea 3-2 Birmingham - 'You've Got No History...' Sing If You Dare, You SCUM!!!
By Andy | August 12th, 2007Well Chelsea did it. Took the unbeaten league record off the 'Scum.' So Scum now start singing 'You've got no history, You've got no history.....' if you dare. We have taken a part of your history away from you!!! Go back to February 2004 when Arse
United Get a Visit From the Royals to Kick Things Off
By Nick | August 10th, 2007So here we are. After months of anticipation and endless transfer speculation -- the title defense begins in earnest. A home match against Reading might not look too daunting on paper, but I'm pretty sure that Steve Coppell will have his players fully
