Or he'd know that coming here, if he's replacing Williamson, the fans are going to absolutely love him. Would know loads about Ben Arfa, Cabaye and Debuchy etc etc. Sure we're in the shit at the minute but the rest of this season is one eighth of a four year contract and you would hope that he'd have the vision to look beyond the immediate dire position.

Think your friend is a little misguided on that last point, he's 6 foot and 80kg (12st 8 - About the weight of Stevie's right thigh or CT's lunch). For a defender he's not particularly big. It doesn't mean he can't make up for it with athelticism and strength though, and it will be a brief welcome relief to havea player come through the door and sign should that actually happen.

The shit that's going on? The 'shit' is a gamble on a thin squad and a group of promising young players, instead of bringing in the requires players earlier. Both have not paid off. Your comment makes no sense.

Our second half performance was so poor that even the forum is going down.

This is going to drive Reading's confidence sky high. How many more must win games can we afford to lose? We're surely now in full crisis mode, with so so many poor decisions having lead us marching headstrong there that it's virtually pointless to point any one of them out as the cause.

Coloccini: "it's just a flesh wound"

I'm so down about this right now that it only seems logical that we won't see Ben Arfa play for us again.

....and is painting himself into a corner with his 'must be a bargain on my terms' policy for the following reasons: 1. Noone wants to come into a relegation fight unless they're handsomely paid for it. 2. Selling clubs will know we're desperate. 3. It goes without saying that...

If they couldn't line up a striker or a central defender for this long there's no chance there's a decent manager who would come here now and put their career in jeopardy.

Probably to call his agent. We'll be the only team not to have won away from home if it stays as it is. Incompetence sums up our season.

Oberthis coming on.

Disgusting.

Cabaye now taken off unbelievable.

For fuck sake.

Started playing football at the age of 30

Cabaye's reaction to Shola's shot there, was like a parent to their kid.

He's no Ferguson obviously. Too early to say, but looks ok to me.

It is alleged that Danny Guthrie started for Reading. Can anyone confirm?

"Our offer is half of what Harry will offer tomorrow, now go home and have a think about it."

Was no way it was a dive, reading player clearly ran into the back of his legs.

Worth noting the excellent work from Marveaux to win the free-kick.

Cabaye fuck yea! Made it look easy as.

So close! Excellent from Debuchy... Cisse straight at the keeper, but good good keeping by him.

Well hit on the volley by Cisse, unfortunately straight at their keeper.

That looked a very good chance for them.
