Re: Where do we go now?

Nothing would surprise me any more but if there are tweets like that out there (or were out there) there is absolutely no way that we wouldn't already know about them. The first we hear of it is unlikely to be from an apology from the club over something no-one seems to have heard of. From what I u...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol City (a)

Southwood Yiadom Morrison McIntyre Rahman Rino Laurent Ince Swift Ejaria Joao Would be my team that I would expect to play on Tuesday. Drinkwater and Dele-Bashiru maybe a shout for CM and LW given the managers preferences recently as well as fitness as others, namely Ejaria. Pauno stated this was t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Queens Park Rangers (a)

Holmes has been sadly exposed as not good enough at this level. At fault for two more goals today it seems I gather he has been offered a new contract which he has yet to sign. He may have made a very big mistake because no one else at this level will come in for him. He cannot start against Bristo...

Re: BFTG - Brizzle

Let's face it we have to be realistic. This will now be a fight against relegation. We need to adopt a far more defensive formation as most teams now will be better than us and try and pick up enough points to survive. During this time perhaps 2/3 of the young players will develop into championship ...

Re: Relegation

Not convinced all of those are in the same timescale. And most of them are smaller wages that no chance of pushing up the average to over 40. And you've forgotten the youth intake, professional contracts, increased deals for several players. Loanee wages in previous years. Like I say, every year fo...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Middlesbrough (h)

I've been banging on about how we get bullied against these ugly teams. So I can sort of understand why we might think Semedo helps as he has got a physical presence and is not afraid to put himself about. I think the balance between tackler and play makers is something we havent resolved and perha...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (h)

Relying too much on Joao for goals now, playing every game appears to be losing his edge, badly in need of a rest, we need Meite and Puscas back soon to help with the heavy lifting. More a problem of being marked out of the game now teams know he's our only real threat.Often had 3 players on him. O...

Tim Dellor's massive news

Announced on local radio this morning that he has some truly massive news but has been sworn to secrecy until tomorrow morning. He just said sports news so may not be anything to to with Reading. Any guesses?

Re: Injury watch 2020/21

Need to remember it's not a normal season and there wasn't a normal pre-season either and its not just us at the top end who have had injuries. Both Watford and Norwich have had 6 or 7 out for a while at some point, the difference is they have premier league size squads to cope. Look at Bristol, th...

Pepe the Horseman
NewCorkSeth
Pepe the Horseman Even with half our team out we'll win this comfortably. Looking forward to enjoying a 3-0 win with a glass of baileys.

Do you have ice in your baileys?

Open to suggestions.


Team held Bournemouth to a comfortable draw last game. Cant really see us beating anyone without a forward line

Olise being sold for £8m?

According to the internet Olise has a release clause of just £8m. If correct it looks like we could lose him for a paltry figure compared to what he's worth. This would be a big blow for Reading if true

Only one for me after watching for 60 years. The draw at Leicester that took us up to the top league for the first time in our history.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a) sponsored by Ricky Newman

Cant believe how bad Ejaria was last night. He needs to be in the middle. Also worrying was how poor Meite was as well. We obviously sacrificed playing football to avoid losing. To me that was one of our poorest performances of the season but from a pragmatic point of view we got a point. Just would...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a) sponsored by Ricky Newman

I understand why people are sceptical of Aluko but oxf*rd hell, have people already forgotten that he scored a goal against Bournemouth? Put in a really good defensive shift in the first half too. Seems like a bit of a double standard that Aluko is being blamed for the first goal because he got a b...
