Just seen on the Club website Jimmy Whitehouse has passed away at the age of 87. How the days of seeing the two Jimmy W's (Whitehouse and Wheeler) knocking in the goals, come flooding back. What a bargain at 250 quid he was!

Reasons to be hopeful? Mine is because Paul Ince is our manager. No, not that I think he will get us promoted, but because he indicated that the club had to change behind the scenes before he accepted the job. As things are panning out with Bowen and Head of Recruitment being appointed. It looks lik...

Alex Pearce has said he "would crawl back" to sign for Reading. would he do so for the pittance we can afford to pay him though?

Swindon lose in the L2 play-off semi-final Lulz Would rather our rivals were successful tbh, would be nice to have a rival in the same league as us. Makes it a bit more interesting. With you here Nath, would love to have the whole "Thames Valley Triangle" going on in the Chump!! Oxford ha...

At last, things are improving where they needed to change. Was the catalyst the demos earlier in the season or Ince getting through to Dai? if the later I wonder if Kia was away on holiday at the time. Would have loved to see Dai's face as Ince gave him the reasons why (and where) the problems were....

I understand the retained list needs to be with the EFL by Saturday so we should get some indication on who is being released and who has been offered new deals this week I thought that sort of thing disappeared with Bosman ! Surely players aren’t ‘retained’ or ‘released’ any more. If a player’s co...

This is where the rivalry survey stems from: https://mobile.twitter.com/FootyLimbs/status/1523990297461641216 It is Bournemouth (and Southampton) fans saying Reading are rivals, not the other way around I note that the *smaller clubs* in the Premier League all have their nearest clubs as their riva...

Thanks for running this competition over the course of the season Snowball and congrats to Royal Forester on winning the overall title of 2021-2022 Prediction League Champion. Thanks morgan, Looking forward to snatching victory on the last match next season! (Unless I let someone else be the Champi...

Tony Mowbray* Mark Warburton* Chris Hughton**** John Terry* Michael Carrick* . The last two names are of course unproven entities so definitely a risk to hire them but I would rather face the great unknown than the dour and miserable football that a Paul Ince team brings us. * They will not want to...

God...... Another "We can't do better than Ince so lets just hire him" argument. We can do better than Ince and we have to do better than Ince. There are far better managers out there who would happily come and manage Reading. I would take a manager with absolutely no experience over Ince...

Sutekh Will Bryn play a half for each team if he signs up?

I am sure that I read on the club's website that Bryn has signed up to play, but I can't find it on there now, so don't know which side he will play for, i'm afraid.

Jonathan Low doing what Jonathan Low does and publishing absolute garbage - Should we give Marc McNulty another chance :roll: Agree - Get Reading really need to do better. Would help if they had a journo who actually had an affinity with the club. I cannot remember a worse Reading FC journo, he eve...

If we have signed him for next season, it just goes to show the manager (whoever that might be) is told " he is on our books, if you don't rate him, hard luck, get on with playing him"

isn't that the probability. whoever the next manager is?

I don't think Ince will be the manager next season. He has stated he will be meeting Dai this week. His comments in interviews he has said the club needs to change, he appears he wants scouts, probably a DOF etc. (reducing or ending Kia's grip on the club?). I think Ince will walk away if the change...

Snowball Goes to the last day!

We may need a tie-break!

Will the Tie Break be on the McDermott v Coppell match in late May?

Nameless

Lower West Drinkwater was unwanted too......

No one would give Andy Carroll a contract......

Were these merely a fact or were they a FACT? Whichever they were they were only OPNIONS, and that is a FACT.
