Still early days, still waiting for backing from whatever the board actually comprises. I expect us not to be quite good enough this year to go up but next year I'd expect more of the deadwood to be gone and therefore a much more technically able side to be taking to the field and getting consisten...

Away win.

Then two away trips to Blackburn and Forest before some winnable home games (winnable like Millwall was..) I think November could be a disaster of a month for Reading Football Club.

Yes, very much so. He's a relatively young manager with 4 promotions to his name with three clubs, sorry but who do you think is better equipped to manage us if he left?

JIM Now what are we going to discuss on this page now?

boobies?

It wouldn't add a page to be fair.

Excellent signing. Now we have three top Championship strikers, and no excuses not to convert chances.

paultheroyal He is off to Fulham... How many more times!!

That wouldn't be a surprise. Pardew was linked with him the January window before he came here, and Norwich and WBA also watched him last season.

Hooper is our main target, no doubt about it, and we've spoken to Sharp as well. If we get neither then it's hard to see where we go next. There doesn't appear to be anyone close to home who we know can perform at this level, so it would have to be something out of the blue like Williams and Drenthe...

It is getting a bit much I have to say. They're like a kid with a new toy. They should add their pictures to their Instgram followers, do again via Twitter for their Twitter followers, and same for Facebook. Not bamboozle the #readingfc hashtag on Twitter with both. I don't suspect it will change th...

The club have some stock in store already. The reason they haven't brought the date forward is two fold; the players have only just returned to pre-season training, and the squad has now gone away to a training camp for a few days. The less important things like modelling for a football kit will tak...

I've renewed mine, even though I can hardly make any games this year. I checked for next year and I can make most of them hopefully so seemed worthwhile getting mine. Put in lots of annual leave for Saturdays this year, now just to get it all granted! Might as well, Wizard. If we go back up and inv...

100% that's the kits. Not sure if it's panel or hooped back. But it's not blank. The football league have taken the images down. Looks like RFC have complained. Good work maffff on confirming they are the new kits. Up yours Reading! :D I've seen maffff and a friend who is generally very reliable an...

Well he's certainly set himself up for an almighty fall if nothing comes of it. Isn't he 33 now? He might be useful, well of course he'd be useful, but these big names are a bit too much to take in. Great if true though, yes.

Remarkable signing. He looks a little heavy, so he'll need to get his head down early doors. So far so good with the first two signings. You wouldn't have got those two with McDermott here.

June 30th seemed to soon to me as well, but indeed it was - http://www.soccer-blogger.com/2012/06/3 ... 2012-2013/

Well that's disappointing. I'm still hoping it's a joke.

They both came across like they get on very well, contrary to what some troublesome rumour mongers would like us to believe. There was nothing earth shattering in there, and it was all positive. The club appears to be in good hands, and they're working hard and investing off field in building the cl...

Tilehurst's badge is nicer than ours, I'd happily take that over the current one http://i.imgur.com/pu9Ck5V.png HQ: http://i.imgur.com/Pdo1y7Y.jpg Jay, as a gifted chap that you are, how about conjuring up a new badge with the Forbury Lion (previous page), with no round badge. The lion being the fo...

Have the club or Ian Harte directly said he was leaving? I know Fordham's old paper said so, but you specifically said to keep it official. Yes, both players confirmed on their Twitter feeds. They've left the club and are looking for new clubs. @maffff - The OP wants confirmation from the official ...

Out on free's:

Church
Hunt
Shorey
Harte
Tabb
B.Williams

LightwaterRoyal Didnt realise Hunt and Harte had been officialy released either.

Both confirmed this week they have said their goodbyes.

It's clearly fake, and a horrible design as well.
