atmosphere has declined massively, and not just due to the style of football not lending itself to waves of loud noise but if you spend years trying to make us a family club and discouraging swearing standing etc, that's what will happen. Having gone to quite a few away games last year, we are not ...

Apart from the thread with 106 replies discussing the match, agreed

No, away win

Two more clangers at the weekend by Courtney

Firstly claiming that it was unreserved seating in the East Stand on Saturday
Then claiming Liam Kelly was out injured just before the team sheet was announced and Kelly was on it

He needs to stop reporting every little whisper he hears

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has admitted he misses Italy and plans to return in the future.

1-2

When you look at the seasons gone by since we last gained a promotion, it's not hard to see why the interest has gone down for some: 2012/3 - In the PL, but wasn't a hugely enjoyable season IMO 2013/4 - Nigel Adkins 2014/5 - Awful, despite cup run 2015/6 - Awful 2016/7 - Much better, but still not t...

How easy is this to get to after work, via Padders?

Serious question... I know when players are moving they speak to one another and say "I've had an offer from XYZ... any thoughts?". Do you think players at any point will say "Reading have offered a contract, any thoughts" and a player says "Good infrastructure but absolute...

I'm fairly sure if he had taken off Gunter for Ilori and Kelly for Bodvarsson no one would have batted an eyelid :lol: But at the time, in the heat of the moment whilst chasing the game, the Kelly sub appeared absolutely mind boggling. Massive boos weren't necessary but a general exclamation of WTFn...

Jaap gets paid....we pay....that's what seems to be the issue here Yeah, that's the crux of the issue for me. I'm not a fan of booing, as it's a bit pantomime for me, but fans have a right to show their frustration when they're paying their money and booing is an effective way to do that collective...

Yes, we were utter gash for the vast majority of the game but how depressing must it be for the players to play in such a soul-less morgue of an arena, devoid of any atmosphere. Reading fans are a reactionary bunch and always have been. If the football is exciting then the crowd get up and the atmo...

Definitely got out of jail today. One paced, ponderous, uninspiring and to be honest, dull. I was as unimpressed with the performance as I was with Stam's words after the game. I am no fan of booing, but he surely has to understand the fans want to see exciting football and that taking off top goal ...

Ok Dave

100% you were Dave Royal

1-0 home win

Can anyone translate that into a table that makes sense?

For example, why do I have 0 points when I corrected guessed the HT and FT scores of the Swansea game?

A must win for both sides, really.

I'm going to go 1-0 to us.
