It appears that the Toffees were either outbid or failed to land a number of transfer targets this summer. Everton fans certainly don’t appear to be particularly happy with the lack of activity on deadline day, and it appears as though it will be an uphill struggle to finish in fifth place again this season. […]

It appears that whilst a move to north London to join the Ramos revolution would have been a ‘dream’ move for this Reading man it appears his club decided they would avoid the nightmare of losing another of their strikers!

Fair play to the Potters, they’re spending plenty of cash to make sure that they’re not playing Championship football next season. They have already raided Reading once to bring in Dave Kitson for £5.5 million, and now they have boosted the coffers at the Madejski Stadium further by signing this imposing central defender.

It’s been a goaltastic start to the campaign for Martin O’Neill’s men, with thirteen goals notched in their first five matches. OK, so four of those have been against FH Hafnarfjordur, although it’s clear that the Irishman has been sending out his team with the express intention of getting stuck into the opposition, even at […]

Cork City seem to be producing a conveyor belt of striking talent exclusively for Reading FC, with reports coming through that the Royals have snared yet another forward from the Irish cup champions. Steve Coppell is clearly keen to increase his attacking options after losing Dave Kitson to Stoke City during the summer and he’s […]

It appears as though he’s taken a step nearer to retaining the services of a talented midfielder, with news […]

What happens when you’re drawing or losing a football match in the English second flight? Do you a) panic and tell the team to play it long, b) send your central defender into attack or c) bring on Kevin Phillips to save the day?

It’s not much fun losing your best players. Nevertheless, it’s a fact of life for any football club, unless you’re a Manchester United, a Chelsea or a Barcelona. Reading manager Steve Coppell has seen the likes of Steven Sidwell, Dave Kitson and Nicky Shorey leave the club since he’s been at the helm, and it […]

I’m in the minority of people who actually like Neil Warnock, having tremendous respect for the Crystal Palace manager’s achievements within the game. Indeed, there can be few people who have a greater knowledge of the Championship and the former Blades boss has today landed a couple of new players for his Eagles squad, which […]

One game down, forty-five to go as far as the 24 teams in the Championship is concerned, but what did the opening weekend of fixtures tell us? Many regard Doncaster’s 1-0 win at Derby as the performance of the weekend, but that’s only working on the assumption that Rovers were playing League One football last […]
