Three Matches, Four Goals
By: Prederick |

0-0, 2-1, 2-0.
That’s how Reading FC began the 2008/09 season, with a disappointing, dull away draw to newly-promoted Nottingham Forest, a 2-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge in the League Cup and a 2-0 win over Plymouth just this Saturday.
In the latter circumstance, if you’d told me that Ibrahima Sonko would notch both the goals, [...]

Goodbye Dave, Hello Noel

Questions for the new season? Is Marek Matejovsky going to be as good for us as it seems he could be? Will missing George Bikey to the Olympics hurt? Is there any real reason to go on a pre-season tour to Sweden?
Well, I can’t answer all those questions, although I [...]
Some Post-Relegation Notes

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 [...]
When A Win Is Ultimately A Loss

So.
I think it goes largely without saying the weekend of May 10th, 2008 won’t be fondly remembered in Berkshire. I think I, like many others, was hoping that the feared “Second Season Syndrome” would result in a 15th place finish at worst. This was…. less than pleasant.
Credit to Reading, who performed as admirably [...]

In a little more than 12 hours time, Reading will line up at Pride Park and attempt to see if they’ll be in the Premiership next year. And honestly, on recent form, they may not deserve it (certainly not the strikers). I never thought i’d see a time this year when I was [...]

It’s no longer in Reading’s hands now. And they can’t blame anyone but themselves.

I said we’d stay up. I’m not so sure anymore.
Getting anything from Arsenal at Arsenal was always going to be an ask of the team. I was hoping that, given the horriffic few weeks that Arsenal have suffered that we could perhaps make something special happen, maybe get a point. Now, with [...]

It would be just like Firefox to eat a nice, long post I had dedicated to today’s game.
Essentially, this may have been Reading’s most inept performance of the season thus far, managing no shots on target and being largely outplayed by a hungrier Fulham side. This was a more than slightly difficult [...]

By: Prederick | No Comments
We lost. And honestly, i’m not that disappointed.
This game was the early match on FSC today, which meant nearly waking up the neighbors cheering when Marek Matejovsky’s early strike flew in. I guarantee you, run that play 10,000 more times, and it never goes in again, and just flies over the [...]

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 [...]
