Its Tuesday John........

See what the international break does to me.

Reading 1-0 Preston HT
Reading 1-1 Preston FT

Reading to Score First <<<<<<<
Preston to Draw from Behind <<<<<


1-0 Baldock 23

1-1 Johnson 63

Their away form isn't great - only won once. Being optimistic I think the new manager bounce can definitely get us a point.

Then again it could be a Swansea-esque New Years' Day moment when the "new dawn" lasted barely two minutes.

paultheroyal "on paper" - he has a decent 6 games to start with....

12 points+ anyone?

If he gets 0 points in the 6 games does he go?

Who's going to sack him if he does?!

John Smith I can't see this being a great game.-1-0

Check out Nostradamus over here.

Would rather have Nosferatu

slightly surprised that Daniel Stendel hasn't got more of a mention actually. Would seemingly fit the bill fairly well - being available, good career record so far, but not being a massive shift from the Gomes type model Just don't see the club replacing a manager who they fired for having us in th...

Was in Cornwall a few week back and ended up in the same hotel as Billy Bonds. Amongst other things we chatted about footballers today. His take was that there is no longer the loyalty or commitments to managers or clubs from players. Players are predominantly mercenary, in it for the money. Badge ...

Luck can not explain a teams fortune/misfortune over a season. Stop you there. It depends - solely - on whether the length of the season is enough for the games played to be a decent, statistically relevant sample. Once we've got that out of the way, there's enough data out there to be able to esti...

Old Man Andrews .

Humdingers this week, OMA - care to pick from the following please:

Curzon v Blyth Spartans
King's Lynn Town v Chester
Brightlingsea Regent v Wingate & Finchley

Aaron Kuhl signs for Basingstoke

Remember how we signed Joao a couple of days after we played against his then-team Sheffield Wednesday? So last Saturday we played Bristol City, and you know Lee Johnson? Well... His dad, Gary, is the manager of Torquay United and his win percentage is currently over 50% Just saying. (In truth it's...

who are Talk Reading on twitter are they reliable? they just posted this Talk Reading @TalkReading Mark Hughes will NOT be on Reading’s shortlist to replace José Gomes as the club look to make an appointment as soon as possible. #readingfc EDIT; they got there info from sky sports I thought it was ...

Ainsworth would be a very astute choice. He'd be able to work on a budget and bring some promising talent up from Wycombe, also the likes of Akinfenwa who would also be a real handful up top.

Hughes is a disgrace, an old dinosaur with nothing but a CV of failure. He can't come anywhere near my club.

LWJ Also anyone else think this exchange was slightly weird last night?



Forgot to switch accounts before generating a discussion perhaps?

Wow. Oh dear.

2 world wars, 1 world cup Over the past few days it has swung to 55% in / 40% out, which is quite a swing.

Your maths is almost as bad as your opinions are.

Felt91 £33 for that run down s*it hole.

Good post. +1

Just to add I very much doubt Chris Hughton would be interested. His stock is still quite high and could be an attractive option for a premier league struggler come Christmas time. You really have completely lost the plot haven't you. Why is Sol Campbell's name not in the poll? Proven himself in a ...
