L-W-D-L-W

By: Prederick | Comments No Comments

If you haven’t guessed or don’t know, the title of this post is Reading’s form since I last posted. Five games, seven points from a possible 15. Not exactly scintillating stuff, and the obvious reason why Reading are three points out of the automatic promotion places and only a point ahead of Burnley.
I [...]

For Those Of You Interested…

By: Prederick | Comments No Comments

First off, kudos to the Royals for winning a Anti-Racism award from KickIt Out. It really shouldn’t be necessary to say that Racism has no place in Football (or anywhere, for that matter), but, people being people, you still have to combat it actively at every turn.
So, for those of you interested, [...]

A Little Here, A Little There

By: Prederick | Comments No Comments

Sorry if i’ve left you out there in readerland in the lurch, but, there hasn’t been too much to harp about. Of course, yes, there is the fact that Mr. Coppell is staying, which i’m pleased with. After trawling through some YouTube highlights of the 07/08 season, and watching the jubilation following Barnsley’s [...]

Some Post-Relegation Notes

By: Prederick | Comments No Comments

First off, congratulations to Portsmouth for putting the final touch on a wonderful 07-08 FA Cup. I know I may be in the minority here, but to be honest, I’m reaching the point where i’d rather see a matchup like that rather than Big Four Side v. Big Four Side. Shame for Enckleman [...]

Thursday Afternoon Amusement

To steal a glorious line from Dikembe Mutombo, “Who Wants To Sex Sonko?”
Ladies, you know you can’t resist a man in a suit looking that dapper.
Probably the biggest downside for blogging a team that’s engaged in a relegation dogfight, is that, unless one of your players manages to get caught in some sort [...]

Fantasy and Reality

By: Prederick | Comments No Comments

It’s a Saturday, late in the season. Reading are playing Tottenham. The game’s been back and forth, end-to-end stuff, with Paul Robinson and Marcus Hahnemann tested multiple times. As the game ticks past the 80 minute mark, a loose ball falls to the feet of Stephen Hunt, who confidently strides past Tom [...]

Know Your Foe (Middlesbrough)

By: Prederick | Comments No Comments

There’s a interesting piece in The Guardian that I’d direct you all towards, taking on what is wrong at the Madjeski. A lot, obviously, and and as I stated previously, Coppell is pretty much justified in thinking that the only way he can stop the rot is to change all 11 players on the [...]

A Weekend Without Action

By: Prederick | Comments No Comments

Or much news, for that matter. Despite Dave Kitson’s very, shall we say, “opinionated” stance on participating in the FA Cup, watching Bristol and Barnsley advance does make a supporter wish that they were having the same experience. The loudmouths who make up TalkSport’s Saturday morning programming may not be good for much, [...]
