I’m liking* the fact that a thread decrying the juvenile nature of Twitter has basically become a catalogue of infantile name calling. oxf*rd off you donut donut? - I've only every heard that insult in the West Lower, usually hurled (the insult, not an actual donut) at an opposition player taking a...

URZZZZ From what I recall too, I’ve never heard us sing that song with “Berkshire” replacing “the world” either

Don't be a pedant URZZZZ, your experience doesn't matter.

That's what she said. She was wrong.

What are the lyrics to "Super Reading FC".... it sounds like "by far the Greatest Team the World has ever seen"..... which can't be right as we're not even the greatest team in the Championship. We don't specify what it is that we are the greatest at. There must be a niche activ...

"one John who makes tea
there's only one John who makes tea"

Unsure if this one makes sense or not, I'll have to ask the catering staff at half time.

"You're so sh*t you must all be in shorts" - doesn't make sense as apart from the odd goalkeeper, all players play in shorts.

What are the lyrics to "Super Reading FC".... it sounds like "by far the Greatest Team the World has ever seen"..... which can't be right as we're not even the greatest team in the Championship. I think most people substitute ‘Berkshire’ for ‘the world’ . Seems to keep the pedan...

100 old hits, one hundred old hits, we've got the records, 100 hits......... which is ironic, as the PA system only plays a handfull of the same not so old songs.

Yiadom is the only one I'd send straight back in; a pure like for like upgrade on Gunter. Otherwise, the system is working so stick with it. There will be injuries etc. The players you mention will get chances, but for now they must be patient while the team is winning. Gunter is part of the system...

Green A lot to dislike here, ignorance of postcode geography (Basingstoke is also in the same postcode area, RG)

I was referring to the RG2 postcode area.

genome It was his fiancee too

Which one?

It's the fact they were doing this in front of so many cameras, not a smart move.

If this thread can be extended to footballers behaving badly, there's a video I saw on twitter of Raiham Sterling and someone else dry humping doggy style 3 girls in a crowded club. They all seem to be consenting and there is some nudity but not great behaviour by any of them, especially as you can ...

Isn't the Basingstoke bus about a fiver return? Picked it up a few years back from Tadley and it was ok. Yeah, it was about that, somewhere between £5 - £6 but for what it was I didn't think it was great value. 6 pound from basingstoke to the ground and back, not good value? wait till you check out...

SouthDownsRoyal Manager of the second placed team in the premier league, who would have thought it all those years ago.

If we stuck by him we would have been relegated - Wrong manager for the club at that moment in time.

SCIAG Blackman has to be in contention, outside that run of 10 games where he was unplayable he was utter utter pony. And he cost us £1.5m when that still meant something.

Although we did get a reported £3m for him

Contender for worse signing and best sale/best piece of business then.

The club and players don't want extra away fans . Do you have a source for this claim? I can see logic in either decision, I guess it would be more clear cut if the ground was a sellout week in week out - home fans are more profitable than away fans (no away fan is going to spend big in the megatst...

The Cube On the fares to "Reading stations" issue, there is recent local precedent. Oxford Parkway is ticketed separately from Oxford.

I think this is the closure I was seeking - thanks The Cube.

A 6 min journey between the two at a cost of £2.40

If the point of Club 1871 is still to support the players, improve the atmosphere etc etc with positive chants/singing/clapping and not to antagonise the away fans/have a sing song with the away fans then why do they need to be sat in the away end next season? Why not make the Club 1871 area a secti...

URZZZZZZZZ I was cringing at the ‘We all hate Leeds scum’ chanting today, embarrassing.

I was disappointed by the Jimmy Saville chants from Club1871

So he's a really useful squad player. If only he was being paid squad-player wages... That's not his fault. Let's assume he is with us until his contract expires, Yes there may be an appearance fee payment of he plays but if he is the best available player to play a particular role then it suits al...
