Eyes on Accrington Stanley vs Mansfield this weekend in the FA Cup. If Mansfield win then our match with them on Saturday, 10th January will be postponed. Still no date set either for the Wigan (A) match that was postponed last month. Had a look and unfortunately we can't play Wigan on the 10th, if...

4th round ties to be played BY Saturday 24th January. When is the draw? And when could we expect a video stream of the games on RoyalTV - or do they avoid that at all costs to try and get punters through the turnstiles? ...draw for R4 probably on or more likely after the last (4) ties scheduled for...

Royals and Racers

Clyde1998 I'm in, fwiw. At least it appears we're heading for more milder temperatures than we've had over the past week or so...

Tickets sold ?

Probably.

At least any perspective buyer now knows what they are getting - a L1 club in need of a complete rebuild. If 50 points is the usually accepted safety point, Weds would need to pick up 60pts from the final 84 available. Or 2.14 PPG. They are currently picking up 0.44 pts per game (on the pitch). If W...

Coventry match day 18: 43 points Reading match day 18: 41 points Cannot deny they are absolutely flying and scoring for fun, but whilst they are ahead of where we were, we won our next 8 on the trot. Just had a nose at their up and coming games and they have some (on paper) tough looking fixtures, ...

I don't want to make excuses for them, but, being reflective... All elite sport is about maximising fine margins, and it doesn't take much to lose them, so I do actually wonder whether Jota's tragic death has actually taken an edge off them and that somehow, in the hard moments most matches will pr...

AS has to go, Liverpool’s bench yesterday included Gomez who i’be been told by reds fans is ctually carrying an injury and 2 goalkeepers :lol: On top of that he doesn’t seem to have a plan A, let alone a plan B and don’t think he has the bottle to drop under performing players otherwise Salah and K...

I can't find any confirmation of if this will be on Paramount+ (currently free to SKy Cinema subscribers) or if Paramount will be creating a new channel? Presumably the latter Wouldn't surprise me if they go down the same route as Apple TV has done with the MLS. You can pay a smaller fee just for t...

linkenholtroyal Heard we are still looking at him. Even with Leam at the helm now.

He's scoring at a rate if 1 goal every 179mins this season - so no surprise that if we liked him before, our view is not really going to have changed.

Anyway I think we all agree that Curacao v Cape Verde at 1 in the morning, is going to be a must watch,

Aren't there 4 finals? So it is just 4 sets of semi finals to be drawn with the winners playing off for one of the remaining slots? As Sweden qualified via the Nations League - I believe they could become the first team to qualify for a World Cup without winning a game (if they win both ties on pen...

European play off draw at midday tomorrow Pot 1: Italy, Ukraine, Turkey, Denmark Pot 2: Wales, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic Pot 3: Kosovo, Republic of Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania Pot 4: Romania, Northern Ireland, Sweden, North Macedonia Pot 1 teams drawn against pot 4 teams, pot 2 team...

8 more teams added in, that's 42, which seems like a lot 42 + 4 x Euro playoffs = 46 Do we know what the permutations are for the last two spaces? Those are for the Intercontinental play-off winners. Draw is tomorrow Iraq and DR Congo as the highest seeds move directly to the 2 "finals". ...

The Final has been moved forward to a 5pm BST kick off, which makes a lot more sense than an evening game. Same for this season's UCL final and beyond. Good news if you are a match going fan. And for families watching at home with younger kids who couldn't stay up to watch finals starting at 8pm (o...

Yeah Norway are there bar a 4 goal defeat. I for one am here for Italy failing to qualify again, a third time in a row. Ekitike got his first goal for France last night, and it's a beauty. https://x.com/UtdXQueku/status/1989239176064065840 Arne Slot take note - wide left is his best position. What'...

Two more goals for Haaland, he now has 53 in 47 caps for Norway, and ten in his last three games. Norway have all but secured their spot at the World Cup. He's also approaching quite an obscure record. He has scored in each of his last ten international matches - if he scores in Italy on Sunday eve...

Brogue Reading are on the longest current goal-scoring run in England’s top four tiers having scored in 13 consecutive league games.

Date announced for 2nd round tie v Cheltenham Town is Wednesday 12th November SCL stadium KO 7pm Hopefully a few tickets sold and the U 18’s get a decent attendance. Not looking great - seems only 98 sold so far. Would say the club haven't advertised it very well so far. Hardly a glamour tie - imag...
