I saw Gary Brazil today at Watford gap services on the m1 and was speaking to him about our chances of getting in the playoffs he really believes we can still make it. He also told me that both darlow and de vries are struggling with the injuries and is expecting evtimov to start in goal Saturday. He also told me that Matt Derbyshire will sign a new contract soon.

He must have been desparate to talk.

Whilst I do not doubt Evtimov's ability, I really hope that our senior goalkeepers can recover in time for the final two games; I fear the pressure of the occasion may well get to the young Belgian.

Evtimov I believe is actually Hungrian not belgian

Why do people feel the need to make up complete lies is beyond me. Get a life

Watford Gap! Troy Deeney maybe?

He's bound to be hungry, he's a growing lad!

Bulgarian. If you're going to correct someone get it right

{Ed034's Note - if you are going to correct someone, at least sign in :-)

Jhow78 we were both wrong! He's Bulgarian. oops!


9.) 24 Apr 2014
The fact is even if we win our last two games we probably won't make it so he can be as optimistic as he likes!

Talking of injuries I can find no word of why Lansbury, Wilson or Fox did not play last game and what's the latest on Lichaj his hernia is taking ages to heal. Let's hope Reading slip up against Leicester on the last game so it's a dramatic last day.

{Ed034's Note - Lansbury back, Wilson hamstring and I would presume fox was rested

Indeed Dimi is Bulgarian. As for Watford Gap he was helping his old mate McGugan find his way back from Burger King at the services there. Maybe Gary Brazil has relatives down south and was visiting them.


13.) 24 Apr 2014
Yes Reading will not lose to Leicester last game because they are playing Burnley :-)

{Ed034's Note - need to register or sign in

Famous team - I like how you've got 'fact' and 'probably' so close together in the same sentence lol :)


15.) 24 Apr 2014
GB was expected to be in Reading on Monday night so not sure why was at Watford Gap the following day after being at Training on Tuesday too but here is comment made to the press. Gary Brazil on keeper situation - "I would expect both of them (Darlow & De Vries) to be on the coach tomorrow (to Bournemouth)"


16.) 24 Apr 2014
The conversation was overheard by Vincent Tann who has sent the team sheet to Eddie Howe!
Let's get the match postponed? lol


17.) 24 Apr 2014
De vries says he's ready for the Bournemouth match if needed. doesn't sound like he's struggling to me.


18.) 24 Apr 2014
Sorry to be pedantic but those posters suggesting that because Brazil was at watford gap services it must have something to do with watford. Watford is 62 miles from watford and is closer to Nottingham


19.) 24 Apr 2014
Sorry to be pedantic 'clarkey' but surely Watford is surely in Watford and it's Watford Gap that's 62 miles away. If you going to take the mick ya got to not look silly yaself, surely

Woops Got Readings last game wrong, I sat there and thought I should check this first but went gung-ho and posted without researching, apologies for that! Either way, thanks Ed for the injury up date. Is Wilson going to be about again this season or is he done now?

{Ed034's Note - no worries. It sounds like he'll struggle for this season


21.) 24 Apr 2014
Damn typo :-)
But watford gap services is in Daventry.


22.) 24 Apr 2014
Watford gap is junction 17 on M1 no way near Watford itself.

Did Gary Brazil have a brown envelope and was Teddy Sheringham sat in a car with Terry Venables wearing a wig and sunglasses? Oops sorry that was 1992!
