Reading will not be expelled from the EFL. They will be allowed to continue under a special licence. There would be uproar and fury if the EFL presided over the death of a club the size of Reading for such reasons

Sutekh Totally awful. Don’t know what the **** Hunt does with them in training but it certainly isn’t football, been going backwards since Selles left.

We went from a top championship/bottom premier league manager to a guy in his first job.

This is the reality

I miss Ruben

Even when the game settled down, we've offered no attacking threat. Meanwhile Reading have looked far too quick for us. Look at the Reading players when they press, almost sprinting compared to the Latics players. Reading still have major ownership issues, have been under embargo for 2 or 3 years, ...

Antonio Conte gives players exact instructions of what to do with the ball in every occasion- some players hate it, others love the success it brings. It does tend to tire after a few seasons though

There is no one-size-fits-all; it’s about doing it well.

Whole thing is a shambles... from what is going on at the Club at present to this 'protest' 1- No one is aligned as to what they are protesting about - Dai/ Kia/ Pauno (but lets face it, if we were winning games and weren't in a relegation battle there wouldn't be a protest). The time, the type of ...

Just googled Yedlin, he's moving to Inter Miami. Really interesting piece here though

Pisa has been owned for a year now by Alexander Knaster, a British billionaire. Perhaps he’s able to fund the wages personally. No idea of FFP style regulations in Italy. (Also, no idea how Knaster is British? Born in Moscow, lives in NY)

I expect I’m the only one now, but I’m 100% (well, 90% I guess- it’s always about who would be the replacement) Paulo in. The club is an absolute shambles with horrendous luck piled on with EFL punching us in the face (deserved or otherwise) for good measure. No player, not one, is playing for their...

Today's game= another bump for this thread. Come on Pauno, much as I was against you, we all want you to succeed! We're now 3 points away from playoffs but also with deduction 3 points from safety. With our current form, both quite easy to break through. You can do it! Millsy. This is not how you h...

Jackson Corner There is a story doing the rounds that he threw a punch at Morrison in the dressing room and has been suspended by the club.

Surely if he's really done that then the writing is on the wall for his days at Reading...

Why would you write on the wall when there’s a perfectly good whiteboard?

I know there's probably hefty punishment if we get caught, but surely we say to Neil Taylor (or whoever), come player for us for £1,000 a week and we'll give your wife a job in the marketing department for £750,000pa? (Or any company that Dai wants to create unassociated with Reading FC)

I have never understood Yaks. A target man style inside forward with a ridiculous knack for scoring goals.

Life and soul of the dressing room.

I'd sell him if I was the manager and regret it from that day onwards

I may be well off the mark here, but does anyone else think he’s been massively overrated? It’s great that he has so many admirers, but I can’t help but think his proneness to go missing in games should contribute against him much more than all the credit he gets for the odd good display. I know ev...

I feel this has been a VERY unlucky season. Everyone says 'luck evens itself out'. It's just not true; you could consider luck like 'sliding doors', each moment of luck could (or could not) have a snowball effect on future fortunes. Who I became friends with at university changed the direction of my...

Also I suspect a couple of players might have talked to other clubs in January and when a big money move didn't materialise, it affected their focus and confidence. It's this kind of baseless stuff I'm guessing at too! I absolutely love Liam Moore the bloke and the podcast guest, but I am now doubt...

Snowflake Royal Nope

'Nope' to the first or final question?

More of a question than a statement, but is squad morale ok? Early season Yaks was posting so many videos of the team dancing etc, these have stopped, but generally a few things seem amiss. Joao has (understandably) stopped smiling Olise scored against QPR and didn't smile (Ejaria has been the same)...

Can make a case for Morrison, Joao, Laurent and Olise. I've gone for Olise, the kid is unbelievably good

Solid win, could've been more. Delighted for Puskas, Joao, Meite, Rafael but mostly Pauno - massive gamble putting Joao on the bench, could so easily have gone horribly wrong but now just seems like a master stroke for all involved. Did anyone catch why the mostly white Derby didn't do the knee? I ...
