Then why do you bother coming here?

Maybe you missed the memo OMA, people aren’t allowed to have nuanced opinions on a subject, or hold two simultaneous opinions.

You must pick a black or white position and stick with that.

Oxford hit with winding up order.

I'm blocked, apparently

I saw on Twitter that some poor sod had De Bruyne to score first and City to win 10-0

Or not

Either way, good to see the kind of quality the club are looking to sign. Just need that winger, LB, CB (if Ilori or Blackett go) and keeper now

And striker IMO

I'm sure someone psoted elsewhere (Twitter perhaps) that Mannone is on 48 appearances and the reason he's been exiled is to ensure we don;t trigger an appearance based fee. Sounds like a return to the old Reading ways, We did the same to John Salako when Howe was in charge. And Shaun Goater (I think)

Upson is the name that always comes to mind when I think of our loan signings. Bloke was like a Rolls Royce playing as a centre half. Only played 14 games but an absolute class act. he oozed. Goals conceded in his league appearances during his loan here: 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 Men...

"Stuck in a cold foreign country"?

He moved here when he was 17 and has been here ever since :/

AND I AINT SEXIST AT ALL but... :D :D :D :D :D As several have said, she doesn’t do any worse than the male pundits and we can’t claim all the male pundits are great… Robbie Savage! I have met Alex and she is a lovely girl. I wish her well, but at the moment, it still seems a little odd seeing her ...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46807185 Daniel Levy announces that Spurs new stadium will not be ready until 'at least March'. Which probably means next season now. After all this is sorted it will be interesting to find out exactly what has caused the delays - the club has been inviting the ...

Agree it's a puzzling one on the face of it, but if you think about it, if we sign Baker and Ejaria and offload Meyler and Edwards then we're not overloading in midfield any more than we already are. That leaves us with Baker, Ejaria, Rinomhota, Kelly, Swift, Bacuna, Ezatolahi Gomes plays 4-2-3-1 th...

Sexual assault and more racist chants.

a day of genuine shame for the club.

The Reading Way died that day

Going back to Brian's first sacking... does anyone have the stats on newly promoted sides who sack the managers who got them up and whether they subsequenly stay up?

It's not really working out for Fulham this year, didn't work for us, Middlesbrough or Hull in 2016/17, QPR in 2014/15...

So... it's not a rumour then

Rowett gone

That doesn’t sound great tbh. It's brutal by the club and to be honest, I'm surprised Mannone is one of them considering I don't think his performances have been that bad (certainly no worse than Jaakkola). But in desperate times the club needs to do everything it can - sure it's a bit distasteful ...

Yep, in retrospect the last summer window was appalling. The one before that not much better, though arguably Barrow and Bacuna were decent enough signings at the price Of our 17 signings since the play-off final, I'd count only 4 as a success. Bodvarsson, Barrow, Bacuna and Yiadom. I'd say our rec...

Blimey.

Where has Southwood gone?

Eastleigh, loan

What an absolute waste of time the summer was Walker - never plays Yiadom - done quite well tbf but we were after him for a long time O'Shea - OK as a backup but we needed to sign someone younger and better considering we already had the "old pro" in McShane Meyler - never plays Eza - per...
