Nigel Howe is a leech. He didnt sell the club, in fact he nearly killed it by not selling it to Rob earlier in my opinion. It took Rob's court action to wrestle control away as he had kept the leins You seem to be confused. Howe didn't own Reading, Dai did. Howe was a facilitator, not a decision ma...

I forget the details now, but I remember arriving home from an absolute stinker of an away evening match at Colchester and venting my anger onHNA over Mad Dog’s contribution to the club. No idea why I blamed him more than Pardew, but something he had either said or done really wound me up. I’ve neve...

Millsy Eh?
Yes it was poor but it wasn't even our worst performances this season probably.

Well, quite.

Looks like Noddy Holder and Jim Lea were responsible for the caption at the bottom of the photo.

Done. Really not difficult.

Pat Earles was the scorer in the Bishop Stortford cup defeat in the mud! 2931 in attendance. Reading team: Fearon, Williams, White, Beavon, Hicks, Wood, Bason, Stant, Dixon, Doherty, Donnellan. I remember the game and the squad well but for some reason i cannot remember the guy called Bason? Anyone...

To the OP: What exactly do you mean by “knock it on it’s (sic) head?” Tell people who have STs in that area that they have to sit somewhere else? Tell them they are no longer welcome at the club? Hire a couple of hundred extra stewards to enforce sitting in seats? Tell them they can only sing positi...

As squibs go, it seems to have been damp. Should have talked to SBWD first!

I wonder if the game might be called off? The storm overnight and tomorrow looks very blustery... Only likely if there is a health and safety concern, such as the roof of a stand might blow off. If bluster was a cause of postponement, Steve Evans would have gone a whole season without a game taking...

Whatever.

After Marriott scored, I was hoping Lane would get one so I could say it’s been their best performance since Itchycoo Park.

Times have changed. I went to the one nil defeat at the Manor Ground in about 1976 at Christmas. We took three coaches, and no one made a sound. IIRC we were put on a terrace, opposite the London road end, with loads of ( peaceful) home fans. Ditto Brentford (2-2) around the same time. After we got...

I have been wracking my brains trying to think of a song that goes with Penny Lane. This is the best l can manage but if anyone out there can come up with something better which shouldn’t be too difficult please do. Paddy Lane is in my heart and in my soul, When he shoots he always scores a goal, H...

Would it be fair to say that Dellor’s fall-out with Brendan Rodgers is the reason he is somewhat less confrontational than we might hope? I can’t imagine that didn’t have some consequences.

Wasn’t there a derogatory comment from Couhig a few weeks ago that sounded as if was directed at Tim Dellor? It really is an indictment of Dellor and Williams that they’ve not had a peep out of a seemingly media-friendly new owner…

I see that City fans are saying Palace cheated. How many offences are City charged with?

Looked to me like Henderson was off his line for the penalty save. Dunno why they didn't scrutinise that in HT analysis, or at any stage so far. (Well, I was on ITV, maybe BBC did.) I went to empty my bladder at HT, but I don’t think the BBC mentioned it. Like you, RR, I thought he was a bit off hi...

Not everyone walks at the same speed. Sounds like it’s about a mile.

Deleting the bit in the first brackets, making this slightly easier to read: "The revised Local Plan should not allocate land for housing or other uses which increases the population within the DEPZ (including significant employment development or the enlargement of the Madejski Stadium for exa...

Yesterday was also the 24th anniversary of the play-off first leg away to Wigan. I know this because I had a prior engagement that day!
