i thought the standard of football on show was truly woeful, from both teams. Not actually true though, is it? Brentford were very good in the first half and we played some decent stuff at the start of the 2nd leading to the Swift free kick. Game became frantic near the end of course as Brentford c...

i thought the standard of football on show was truly woeful, from both teams. Brentford wont make play offs, we wont get relegated. Our Persian Pogba will be a shrewd loan and will go some way to shore up our midfield but boy oh boy, we need to work out how to cut out these crosses and balls across ...

That was a great red card. Idiot.

Antonio scenario Mk 2 - maybe Mk 3

Good to hear a different take on things - thanks Nameless.

All I would say is, the academy from U7 through to U15s is in an utter mess.

Kids leaving in their droves, scouting network falling apart, no direction or organisation on academy training days. Missing out on matches - etc etc.

you could see their second coming from the moment they kicked off Clement's clearly not a manager, basically an industry hanger-on who got lucky A rare dose of AE sanity on the Team Board. We need an experienced manager to organise this shower of shit. Not an assistant manager who wants to sit in t...

First half so flat, dire infact. Just don't understand how you can play like that after being fired up before kick off. Second half I actually thought we were excellent. Intent, and purpose was there. We created a fair few chances. But seriously our finishing is just woeful. What actually went again...

Gunter bashing is just tiresome.

That is all.

Adam Johnson is approaching week's away from being released.

Will any club pick him up do you think? 31 years of age now.

I can also add to this - very true. All things Reading FC at academy level and pre academy is not in a good place.

That's the great thing about opinions. I disagree.

And I ain't no shrinking violet, I'm going nowhere.

You stepped over the line and you know it. Just accept it and move on.

Missed this. What happened?

Agree to an extent, but press conferences and such like are a big part of trying to keep the fans feeling engaged with the club Fully agree that whinging about it doesn’t help though, and I thought the retweeting of the leaked kit for example was an appalling misjudgement even though it seems a min...

Courtney Friday: ‘Small announcement. As of yesterday I resigned from my role. A difficult decision but one which will be a huge benefit to my career. Been a pleasure speaking to the vast majority of you. I hope to continue covering games to help out but will be far less active. It has been an abso...

https://twitter.com/Smudgersport/status/1022408835837911040 Awks Poor "Smudger". He is so far behind the curve he's almost in 1997. The fact they cant even get their fingers on the pulse for a low level signing like this shows you the status this organisation has in the eyes of Reading FC.

Lewis Ward is a more than able number 2 and would slot straight in so no need to sign another keeper.

You might be onto something there.

One of many comments about him on Brighton's forums.

Love Sam Baldock but probably not Premier League class.

He played a huge role in our promotion. He might not have scored as many as people would have liked but as soon as he didn't play we missed him massively.

Kit to be launched end of next week with special offer of discounted ticket for Derby game with purchase of new shirt.

I am told again that the away shirt is "naughty".
