  1. I’m assuming this isn’t a recent photo - but if it is - where’s the beard????
  2. We've always been marked as a game at home where if the opposition can stifle us quickly the fans turn. The Secret Footballer mentioned it in his book, various others have mentioned it too. We have a reputation, this is nothing new. Unfortunately DOL is right, we are a fickle bunch as soon as things aren't going our way we turn - the team we have should be good enough though to be able to play well regardless of this. If the fans are such a big part of our inability to play well at home, why don't we just not turn up or play behind closed doors
  3. Used to really enjoy Aston Villa Review but not a fan of MOMS
  4. If it stays as is, whilst heartily laughing at the unwashed (as per usual); tomorrow becomes an absolute must win - if it wasn't already. He'll be out if we lose - even 'non-football' people can read a league table - as evidenced by my GF from Canada who knows nothing about football, who, when I showed her the table, said 'Villa really are shit aren't they?'
  5. Bizarre to me how everyone outside of the team (even Bacuna in his comments when joining them) knew that Reading would play keepball and knock it around the back waiting for an opening yet it took 75mins for anyone to even have a go at closing them down.
  6. Was there tonight. Very very poor but fans as usual were very good Reading bastardising our McGrath chant was blasphemy in the extreme. Bruce needs to be gone ASAP.
  7. Will be interesting if we win tonight with 2 of those earmarked as representative of our decline on the bench.
  8. The hotel attached to the stadium are turning away fans with colours on away in case anyone was planning to go there for a drink
  9. Not sure that's real. It's certainly not on Twitter. Be hilarious if it was though. Would be saying what a lot of us were thinking
  10. Fiver on Reading it is then. Also stick everything you have on Bacuna to score
  11. Looking forward to seeing him lift the playoff trophy in full kit after being suspended for the final.
  12. Awarded Sky Bet Championship Ground of the Year. Clicky We do always seem to be commended on our pitch. I'm sure I read somewhere our old Head Groundsman went off to Barca or Bayern or somewhere like that
  13. Ehiogu My Lord, EHIOGU. Absolutely devastated.
  14. Terrible terrible luck for both players. Taylor because he went full pelt for the ball and caught Coleman in the wrong place, and Coleman for obvious reasons. Not trying to defend Taylor and pretend he did nothing wrong. It was not a good tackle - sounds like he was completely devastated and it doesn't sound like there was malice in the tackle. Just trying to be objective in that we see lots of tackles like that that sometimes people get away with it, but I think the after effect makes it worse. Best wishes to Coleman though, devastated for him
