Interesting article on why developing a vaccine is no walk in the park ...

I have evidence that the UK actively does not want to know how many cases of coronavirus there are - my friend's wife has MS and had to take her to hospital this week with what seemed like the usual symptoms, but they did not test her. The reason seems to be that if they test her and she turns out p...

Until yesterday I didn't know anyone who had it, now today I suddenly find out several have it or have recovered from what they think was it - from their description it sounds completely like it. Short of breath, high temperature, cough, feeling like death ... this includes a neighbour of mine who g...

I think we’ll not see the rest of the games played. Even going behind closed doors is problematic if teams have players ill. If it is cancelled then promotion and relegation have to be declared null and void. Titles should still be awarded to teams currently top. I hope no one is top by virtue of h...

Has Rafael really been that impressive? I am not doubting his ability or the fact he is a steady pair of hands but I just don't think he has won us too many games, Fulham away is the only one I can think of. I think there are a few goals he could have done a bit better with too. For me it has to be...

I thought Obita had a good game actually - can’t quite work out on the 2nd goal whose error that was - possibly him. But he’s playing some lovely balls in to Puscas and some nice crosses as well There were three things. Firstly Rinomhota is on the floor and United brutally expose that space. Second...

tidus_mi2 These commentators don't half have a boner for Sheff Utd.

well as you'd expect they know more about the Prem team ... but if you think these are so bad, they're still 100 times better than the reading commentators normally are .... I prefer listening to their Sheff Utd bias than the usual drivel.

URZZZZ All gone pear(s) shaped for Boro this season

Wonder if their fans regret hounding Pulis out now

Doubt it. Would go as far as to say relegation is a more attractive option than watching Pulis-ball all season long.

Talking to a Boro friend of mine Woodgate-ball hasn't been much fun either ...

Having started this thread asking for his return, thinking about it more I'm now not so fussed. Not because I don't think he'd walk into the squad or make us better, but because if he doesn't want to be here and won't sign beyond end of contract there's no point (and even if he does sign, he's alre...

There's a summary of current injuries here: https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/reading-fc-injury-news-potential-17153911 Summary of the new ones: Boye has a hernia Moore a foot injury, currently having injections McIntyre was absent yesterday due to concussion protocol Ejaria...

You don't get it ... it wasn't Bowen's decision, it was OMA who made it a fact.

You're a very thick human being. It is a fact now because it will be happening. He cannot leave now, the next available slot for him to go he will go. What has changed since the last available slot ended 5 days ago ? Bowen has given him the chance to prove his worth but last night was the key indic...

Better example - Shane Long ... thought he was clueless for a long time, and then suddenly he came on fire ... and he's still playing in the Prem now. He surely has to be incredibly grateful to Steve Coppell for all he's achieved.

Sheffield United are trying to get into Europe ... don't think the cup will be their priority.

One good season and since then has found his level ... was hopeless at his last job.

Snowflake Royal From being ludicrously overstuffed at fullback we could potentially find ourselves starting next season with:

Yiadom, Richards, and Watson.

we can worry about that in the summer

genome That’s what I said Zip, confimred

It's the Portuguese spelling of it, Genome was being topical.

It was initially a shocking performance by Genome but he is forgiven. You on the other hand, OMA, have been under-performing for too long and need to go.

Is OMA your escapegoat?

Hendo For me, that is better than coming out and saying we are getting a couple of signings completed and then they fall through.

+1 .. OMA would announce exactly who was coming in and at what price ... because that's more transparent.

That was one of the worst home performances of the season and definitely the worst under Mark Bowen. We were casual, soft, lacking energy and lost to a pretty dreadful side and I'm really frustrated and angry. We didn't really go for it until it was too late and even then we got what we deserved. O...
