WTF did we agree to something that wasn't allowed. Clowns the lot of them. If it makes you feel any better, the same redacted documents revealed that we do in fact have a 10% sell-on for transfer profit in regards to Olise. Who knows what Dai is supposedly selling the club for, but the knowledge th...

WTF did we agree to something that wasn't allowed. Clowns the lot of them. If it makes you feel any better, the same redacted documents revealed that we do in fact have a 10% sell-on for transfer profit in regards to Olise. 60mil Olise to United 6mil for us - 200k = 5.8m profit Happy days right, ri...

This probably merits a thread of its own?

South Coast Royal By the way, a bot OTT about "many years developing the player" when his early years were away at Chelsea and City.

He was only with City for a year. With us for four.

Will be there, here’s hoping for a win…

No respect for the guy. Karacan’s injury (which massively hobbled his career) was not a coincidence. Tetek’s injury (which seems to have effectively ended his career) was not a coincidence. He was a thug of a manager who had no respect for opposing players or officials. That’s the real Warnock, not ...

For me the standouts have been Carson, Borgnis, and Wellens. CBC has looked very good with the ball at his feet but hasn't been tested much on the core goalkeeping stuff. Generally speaking I don't think this side stacks up well compared to past teams - thinking of the Pearce-Karacan side, the Kuhl-...

I think with Convey he took a year to settle, and in his third season, we didn't miss him because Hunt really stepped up and Seol came in and was massive. I thought Seol, for all his faults, was a huge player. We were a hard working, well organised side and he just threw in a huge dose of flair int...

Really don't know what Coppell and the club were smoking in 2007. Pretty much a whole season knowing Sidwell would be going but when he did there was no move to bring in a replacement despite a few being readily available. Think the club spent all the effort in trying to get Scott Brown but when he...

Could understand getting rid of any of the three left backs but letting them all go is a big gamble. Leaves us with six senior defenders and one of them is Dean. Fwiw as I mentioned in another thread, I was sat near Carson's dad on Saturday and while he wasn't expecting him to be first choice next s...

Lita, Asaba and Convey are all a mixed bag. Lita was quality in 106, and a small spurt in the first prem season, but he never really performed consistently and ended up failing. Convey - FDTW has summed up perfectly. Asaba actually did ok in a poor team, and was only here 1 season, but didn’t meet ...

Hoping for 3 more wins in the competition. Should Reading make it, would the final get played at a neutral venue? No we will be away to the winners of the other semi. Which would be one of 3 London clubs or Liverpool !! So winning it will be the greatest Reading Academy achievement ever then. Go No...

Not saying we should pick Jahmari. Am saying I think he's a better option than Akande and Tuma at this point in time and I don't really think either of them will be serious first-team options next season. Honestly, don't think there's much between him and Ehib and suspect he'd do about as well if he...

I was sat within earshot of Mr. Carson yesterday. Apparently Selles’ plan for the left back spot is to make a senior signing, then have Mola covering both full back positions and Dorsett covering both left back and centre back. Seems sensible to me. Mr. Carson thought if Matty could be a bit less ra...

Team sheet I’ve seen (courtesy of the stewards) has John Clarke on the bench.

That’s the first time I’ve seen us win live this season. Should have been 5-1. Didn’t have a great seat. Ratings: Pereira 6.5 - some good saves, trying not to be too harsh on that late mistake Mbengue 7 - think he could have done better for the first but a real leader, quick, comfortable on the ball...

Happy to give him slack on a personal level. On a professional level, while he’s far too good for this level at his best, he’s also proven far too unreliable. Someone will gamble on him and they might well be richly rewarded, but I don’t think it should be us. He’d probably benefit from a new enviro...

Snowflake Royal Two pair running into a royal flush on the river?

More like a Royals flush down the toilet

Toilet/river - same thing isn’t it?

Oo er, it’s all getting a bit political in here.

Reading U 18’s league season went from bad to worse this morning when they lost to Southampton 9-0 at Bearwood. Only the FA Youth Cup run the highlight of an extremely poor season. Out of interest why do you think it has been so poor? Is it the manager/coaching, the ability of our players or the qu...

Each to their own I guess. I'd happily take being a Brentford, Fulham or Palace, let alone a Brighton. Just as long as I continued to appreciate it. Some younger Palace fans want Parish and fellow owners out; the same owners who bought them out from administration, avoided relegation to L1 and then...
