Lots of controversy surrounding this one.

There’s never been a question of desire when Marcus Hahnemann’s around.  You knew what he wanted, what he was willing to do and it was always very clear because he’d step up to the plate and answer the tough questions.

With all the focus turned towards Fulham USA and their match tomorrow against Harry Redknapp’s Portsmouth, the Daily Mail has a great read about Reading’s Marcus Hahnemann.

A big win at Derby for the last match of the season might not even make a difference with Fulham holding the a +6 goal differential over Reading, even though both teams could be even on points tomorrow evening.

Fulham up or down?

Ivory Coast and Reading midfielder Emerse Fae has been diagnosed with Malaria after his return from the African Nations Cup in Ghana.

After a great term last season, Reading has found itself near or around the mouth of the Relegation in the Barclay’s Premiership and this does not sit well with American keeper Marcus Hahnemann.  The outspoken net minder has gone on record wondering out loud which of his teammates have the “balls” to handle the pressures of life in the top flight.

No this wasn’t what he was wearing when he was caught drink driving last night, but Reading striker Dave Kitson was charged for failing to provide a breath sample as well. Looks like pence in the mouth don’t work as well as pennies.
