Not really Reading’s fault, if this is at all true, I think the fee has been pushed up as Acc...

Re: Rival Watch

Only just realised how few games Barnsley have played.

They have 23 games left to play in 13 weeks (3 or 4 more than most other clubs) - so will pretty much be playing Sat-Tues/Weds-Sat for the rest of the season.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (h)

It's not if we went toe to toe with Orient last week and came out on the wrong side of a 3-1 loss, we got battered. Yesterday's result has basically made Tuesday's game a must win if we have any ambitions for the play offs. I mean, whilst I take your point to a degree, it really isn't a make or bre...

Re: One more in.

O'Rourke is usually pretty well clued up and did see the local Wigan press stating that whilst Wigan had had a bid accepted, it was expected that he will sign for us this week. He has the same agent as LR apparently, which has helped sway it in our direction. He is highly rated, so this could be a v...

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Reading FC owner Rob Couhig has revealed that the shareholders have been paying £1 million nearly every month to bolster the club. After a busy start to the January transfer window, and with Reading FC making a permanent signing in the winter transfer window for the first time in years, the Royals ...

Re: Rival Watch

rabidbee It's more like 90 miles for us, but the Bescot is a good shout - he'd enjoy watching the traffic going over the flyover.


Certainly a step up from the quality on the pitch.

Random twitter account stating we are about to complete his signing - so he'll be off to Gillingham then.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Vauxhall Conference League 25/26

Eintracht's abysmal CL campaign reaches its inevitable conclusion as they squander a 2-1 lead to goals after 80 and 94 mins to lose in Baku.

They join Kairat, Slavia Prague and Villareal in being out before the final round of group fixtures.

Re: Haydon Robert’s - Confimred

He came on and played the last 10 mins on Tuesday night at left side of back 3 away at Ipswich, then signs for us Wednesday, perhaps they dropped him off on the way back to Brizzle lol. City fans all seem happy he has gone especially for a fee as they got him on a free. They definitely didn’t rate ...

Re: a RB and a LB signings imminent

Any guesses at all anyone? Would love for us to be ambitious and go for some good young players. Barry Cotter on loan at Notts County from Barnsley would fit the bill for RB and Adam Mayor on loan from Milwall at Cambridge as LB would be my choices. Both have pace, can defend, can cross and more li...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Eintracht Frankfurt fire Dino Toppmöller after a run of 4 games without a win dents their chances of returning to the Champions League next year. The issue isn't so much the run but the manner of it with the 3 games after the Xmas break ending 3-3, 2-3, 3-3. With one 3-3 finishing with a last minute...

Re: Rumour- return of the Mc…… intyre

Sutekh How about Holmes next?


Tounge in cheek I know but he is unable to play for another club this season having played for Luton & Rotherham - so even if we were interested (unlikely), no way it would happen.

Re: Charlie Savage to Oxford

He's important and very good. But we already have ready made replacements in Fraser and Rinomhota, so personally, I don't think we'd need to replace him immediately. We haven't seen how mobile Rino is and Fraser looks a bit pedestrian so I do think we would need to replace him (ideally)with a playe...

Re: Charlie Savage to Oxford

Yep glad we turned it down - looks like Oxford have signed other midfielders now, so perhaps unlikely to come back.

We will be a situation this summer though where we will either have to cash in on Savage or try and tie him down to a new deal as next season is the last of his current deal.

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Real looked to have saved themselves from a shock cup exit to Segunda Division strugglers Albacete with a 91st minute equaliser. Only for their opponents to go right down the other end and score a famous winner in the 94th minute.
