Most of these players have to start on Saturday, surely?

NathStPaul The most irrelevant game in recent memory, nobody in their right mind can give a toss. Play the youth team, get beat 4-0 and concentrate on Port Vale next Saturday.

Was it Robbie Savage that we gave a standing ovation to years back as it was his last professional game? That could tip the scales in our favour, lol. Far superior info about him from Sutekh. Oh yeah. Memorable match. I was there. He walked off the pitch at the end wearing just his pants and vest. ...

The most gifted player I have ever seen in a Reading shirt, even if he still has a fraction of that talent he would destroy League 1. It'll never happen of course but just imagine.

Damn Macron, too much

However, Samuelson was not the cause of our problems but was left ...

im officially bored of "cant buy a striker so buy a load of random midfielder" transfer windows It would be so good to have an actual strike force for once. I miss it. give it a month and we might have Yann, Jon Dadi, Barrow and Aluko (or McCleary) up front. Surely that qualifies? Half of...

Got a feeling it's going to be one of those classic Reading deadline days where we try our hardest but don't manage to get any in. Obviously we need a striker so that's going to be a shame if we can't get one in, but rest of the squad looks good. I've gone for a vote of 1 in the hope we do snag a st...

She's still on an England central contract however.

GUO sally forth (although a purist may prefer sally 4th).
