Liverpool 2-1 Reading

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 [...]
Liverpool Loss & Portsmouth Preview
By: Rob | No Comments
Well, I dillied and dallied my way out of making a timely post about Tuesday’s 2-4 Carling Cup loss to Liverpool, so I’ll keep my thoughts brief. While the obvious media focus was on the Fernando Torres show, I came away reasonably satisfied with Reading’s effort. For one, the fearlessness of last season was back, [...]
Carling Cup Preview: v. Liverpool (+ Sidwell Loan?)
By: Rob | No Comments
For the second consecutive year, Reading draws Liverpool in the third round of the Beer Cup, and last year’s game was an explosion of goals: a 4-3 loss at Anfield that saw the Royals go down 3-0, then 4-1, before putting in two late goals to make the Scousers sweat. This time around, the two [...]
A Sex Tape? Now We’re Bloggin’!
By: Rob | 4 Comments
Oh, those magical words every blogger longs to hear: “sex tape.” That was the pleasant good morning news that greeted me, courtesy of Offside Overlord Bob’s morning update. Here I was planning on spending today’s post discussing how best to pronounce Liam Rosenior, and Leroy Lita provides me with the story of this blog’s young [...]
Rip It Up and Start Again

Well Reading’s recent fortunes and my blogging abilities have been directly proportional these last couple of weeks, to say the least. After successive 3-0 losses, one hoped that the international break would snap the Royals out of their funk, but a shockingly listless 2-1 loss to Sunderland Saturday has Reading in 18th, with an ugly [...]
The Reading Rainbow 8.28
By: Rob | No Comments
Welcome to what will (hopefully) be the regular Tuesday news post: the Reading Rainbow. This week’s headlines: Sonko Trains, Sodje Limbos, Shorey Hobbles, Coppell Complains, Everybody’s Injured, Who…Is…The Triallist?!?, and the debut of ShoreyLitaWatch.
The Reading Evening Post hasn’t updated its website since the Reading Festival; hopefully the powerful 90s nostalgia combo of Smashing Pumpkins and [...]
Category: Team News4 Points Never Felt So Good
By: Rob | 2 Comments
Heading 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 the blocks can be fatal. More than 3, [...]

By: Rob | No Comments
Hazing usually occurs when you first join a group, but in the Premier League, the first season must be considered something of a trial period, a free pass to see if you’ve got enough to stick around. That second season though, that’s when the gloves come off. You want to stay up for more than [...]
Category: Team NewsThe Offseason: No Respect for Royals
By: Rob | No Comments
After a season of getting used to the idea that Reading weren’t merely recently-promoted newbies with a return ticket already booked for the Championship, but actually legit European slot contenders, this offseason came as something of a shock. Turns out most players have longer memories than I do, and in the transfer/contract-renewal market, Reading was [...]
