On the subject of journalists. Anyone know who the American journalist fella was? I think he said his name was Josh Lewin - or something like that. Has been shadowing the club and is going to get our story out there in America. Not sure if the club have invited him in, or he just got wind of the si...

Got to think we look pretty strong now if those 2 are indeed finalised Agreed. Being greedy, I'd like to see another centre back come in, someone to add pace and experience at the back. Perhaps another specialist left back as cover, albeit Dorsett or Garcia can play there (I did say I was being gre...

He's 36 next month, but played 38 times for Portsmouth last season. Not sure on this one.

What is the clamouring for a "good" striker? We beat several rivals to O'Mahony's signature who has scored buckets at the youth level and made a good impression before his injury at Portsmouth last season. We have Ehibhatiomhan as another option. I would like another option too, but just ...

New interview with Noel dropped today, he says he hasn't spoken to Knibbs about it yet, but he's still a Reading player. If he's right mentally, sounds like there's a chance he could be involved at Lincoln.

Couhig could have made his life a lot easier if he'd told us all he was inheriting a burning skip, it would take a few years to turn it around and promotion was unlikely this season. This is where my thinking was, but his words about a "strong strong strong" squad, "potentially spect...

Noel is still learning, so is bound to make mistakes. I don't think the squad is quite as bad as some people think and there will be additions still to come. Only expecting Knibbs to go, but if the fee is anywhere near £2m, then we absolutely should be accepting that. He's a massive loss and Carey w...

The whole thing was a non-event from Reading’s point of view. The fans I spoke to weren't bothered by it, the players didn't look up for it and I think Noel was trying to give players minutes. Doubt he learned anything new. FWIW, I thought Jacob and Elliott looked way off the pace and not ready to s...

Knibbs has the power really. If he tells the club he wants to try and move to the Championship next season, we'll likely sell as opposed to losing him on a free. The alternative is to ask him to prove he deserves it on the pitch, but that makes more sense if you're going for promotion. This is a tr...

Yep bored of it all now

Hopefully Brogue is correct

Got to the point where I'm sick of preseason. Let's get on with it and see some actual competitive football.

Yeah, exactly this. Bored of it now.

https://www.port-vale.co.uk/news/vale-offer-discounted-tickets-reading-clash What a great gesture. Hopefully we reciprocate with some sort of offer for travelling Vale fans as well. £10 might be too much of a financial hit for us to take, but a discounted price would be good. They absolutely didn't...

Sutekh Another investor was at the game Saturday

Behind a paywall, does it name anybody?

Incredible stat this. We might not be winning tournament after tournament. But seven of the last eight major finals in the senior or U21 games have involved England. Which is quite something. And should be celebrated. (Men's) Euro 2021 - Italy v England (Women's) Euro 2022 - England v Germany (Men'...

Brogue Is the latest one we are supposed to be in for. 6ft 1 striker, currently at west brom 30 years old

I didn't realise he is 30 already. Depending on cost, could be a decent option.

OK, if its winding people up i won't bother anymore. thought I'd been bang on the money with my posts, i'll keep it to myself going forward Yeah, definitely keep it going. Good to know who we're targeting, even if they don't work out. If Bowler can get another £200k a year in the Champ, then good l...

Is the background image the Huntley & Palmers factory? What's the relevance of the circles? Our 2025/26 Macron away strip celebrates 150 years of the Town Hall 's distinctive clock tower, echoing features of this iconic building in the centre of Reading and the home of Reading Museum. https://w...

Sweden look good, England are miles off.

An extra £6 per game for me and my sons to go. Will have an impact. Makes the ST prices more appealing now though.
