    Why no minutes silence for Bobby Smith?

    Apologies if this has already been posted but why only a 'limp' mention at the final whistle. For us older fans, he had a remarkable effect on the club, galvanising the team and turning it from an ordinary Div.4 side into a Championship winning outfit. After two successive relegations, the club...

    Lee Hendrie released by Reading

    Initially on a three week trial, he has been released early by the club after failing to impress in the 1-1 draw with Brighton on Tuesday. Thought he didn't look too bad, back end of last season but even with the loss of Nav we seem to be pretty well off with central midfielders now. I think...

    Difference between club players and internationals.

    The BBC commentator was bemoaning that so many of these England players are top Premiership performers but can't seem to turn it on for their country. So !!!!!!! Such naivety is embarrassing. The Premiership is not the highest level that players can perform at..that is INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL...

    Seagulls set for Cummings swoop

    Source : " getreading.co.uk " " Out of favour Reading right-back Shaun Cummings is attracting interest from Brighton and Hove Albion. It is understood that the League One side are interested in the former Chelsea trainee who has found life hard since switching to Madejski Stadium on transfer...

    Still no news on Hartlepool then?

    One game to go and still no news on what punishment they are going to get. They have reached 52 points, so, as it stands they are safe. A 3 point deduction would put them right back in the mire. The closing date for their submission was last Monday ( 26/4 ) so how long does it take to make a...

    When are the league going to resolve this Hartlepool issue?

    Let me guess. They are waiting until 'Pool' are safe and then they will take action. Cynical, I know, but it beggars the question why they didn't act straightaway.

    Resigned to bottom half finish

    After the Saints game, I actually thought we could challenge 60 points this season. Sadly the wheels have now come off and I 'm not now sure whether we will even better last season's 16th place finish. The players seem to have switched off having reached 48 points and the last two performances...

    Which of these 3 will get the warmest welcome back on Thursday

    1) Dean Wilkins 2) Dean Hammond 3) Dan Harding My money is on our former manager, followed by the Saints captain and bringing up the rear, Dan ( ' I've still got a house at Rottingdean and keep in touch with my old team mates ' ) Harding.

    Lee Hughes and Luke Rodgers

    Sorry folks...but I can't stand these two little bald-headed you know whats. I don't normally get worked up about players but these two get right under my skin. I'm sure the County fans love them but I can't stand them. The goal celebrations make me puke. Nothing would give me more pleasure...

    When we go a goal down...its game over for us

    We seem totally incapable of turning a game round, once we go a goal down. In 15 league games this season, we have gone a goal down. The results in these games are......won 0 drawn 2 lost 13. In 9 home games this season we have gone a goal behind and lost all 9 games !!! The record, when we go a...

    Millwall is a must win game tomorrow

    ...and I don't want anyone saying...." a draw would be a decent result " We simply must win. Nothing else will do. We have not played at home for 5 weeks and fans have almost forgotten what it is like to sit and suffer at Withdean. We have gleaned 7 points from 3 away games ( a good return ) and...

    Tomorrow is simply a fun day out.

    Thats all. For me, next Tuesday is far more important, facing a team who have lost their last 13 games, but by all accounts played pretty well against Swindon this week. It could be argued that it is an irritant to be still involved in the FA Cup, when we could be facing an off-colour...

    What were the stewards looking for on the pitch at Walsall?

    Pre-kick off yesterday, there were lines of stewards going very slowly, up and down the penalty area in front of us. It was the kind of deliberate and forensic type searching that you see at crime scenes. My mate quipped to a touchline steward.." what are they looking for - grass ! "....to which...

    Poyet unable to change mindset of players at Home

    Thus far, I see no difference in the mindset of our players at home, under Poyet. Every game is still started at a slow tempo, we allow ourselves to be forced onto the back foot from the kick off and teams now know they can kill us off early. There is a casual indifference amongst certain...

    P45 time

    Gus has now got to take certain players to one side, thank them for their previous attendance and hand them the brown envelope, containing their P45's, 1) Graeme Smith....I'm sorry but this is just plain embarrassing. Confidence shot to pieces, no positional sense, no command. Simply, the worst...

    A message to those of you who are glibly predicting ' mid-table mediocrity.

    You need a reality check. I have loosely defined mid-table as approximately 6-8 points off the play-offs ( i.e not threatening ) and approximately 10 points above the drop zone ( comfortably safe ) This is the last 4 seasons : - 2005-2006 Bristol City 65 down to Gillingham 60 2006-2007...

    Nearly a third of the way through the season and any improvement yet?

    No? In fact we have now started to go backwards. The last two performances have been so inept, that you have to conclude that this is a trend likely to continue. We have already lost 5 at home ( 4 against very ordinary teams ) and are facing our worst home record in a season, in history. ( RS =...
