One of my most despised former players managing one of my least favourite teams. I sincerely hope it's a disaster for all involved.

I tend to see maybe 2 or 3 Reading games (either live or on TV) per season for a few years now, with the on-going existential crisis making it more and more difficult for me to muster the energy to go along, on top of moving away from the town, having kids etc. etc. This is my first expeirence of ...

Thought we were bullied last night, although it’s hardly surprising given 7 of the 11 were 22 or younger. The only exception to that being at centre back where Abbey continues to impress and Dean did an ok job, albeit Bindon has looked more solid from the football I’ve seen so far this season ...

we are confident that significant progress has been made in aiming to achieve those financial targets

This line is just a bit too heavy on the wooliness for my liking

Agreed - this screams "we've done our best but not hit our targets" to me.

Unsure why we are trying to play them at their own game and lumping quite so much. Could do with Ejaria on for some composure on the ball and agree with the earlier post re. Rino's energy in midfield, we are losing too many second balls.

On the plus side, got ourselves back into it after a tough ...

Planning permission must nearly have expired by now?
That depends. If a wall has been knocked down, a bit of foundation has been dug or enough work has been done to enable the owners to say "We have started". Then I am sure Planning Permission will never expire. Anyone know if anything in the ...

I see alot of people talking about his 'character'. Any specific evidence of this?

I look at his twitter and see a fifa playing youtuber engaging with trolls.

I google david meyler and character and get stories about Willian psyching him out.

Anyone??

He's got a bit of fight about him and I ...

Saw some helmets wearing half and half Reading/Fulham scarfs

A new manager has come in, and the only tangible difference I can see between the two styles is that instead of trying to pass the ball out of defence we are giving it a big hoof instead.

Totally disagree with this - the defence look far more assured on the ball knowing that they can hit it long ...

Even Sky have learned it’s a total arse of a fixture and won’t televise it any more despite Reading’s attempt to entice them by switching the kick off way back early on in the season.


Thanks for the write up Sutekh.

Does anyone know any more about why the fixture is at half 5? I can’t make ...

Barrow is clearly spent, why oh why does Stam take an age to make subs?

Boooooooo

I’m a big fan of Jaap and hope this is a turning point in the season… things could get a bit ugly if not as he’s definitely ruffled a few feathers.

Personally, I’m not all that fussed by what he’s said. It’s a bit of a surprise and could have been handled more diplomatically but I like his honesty ...

Yep - I drunkenly declared to many friends that we would win the league after that performance. Many lolz were had at my expense.

Currently have 1 x terraced ticket up for grabs if anyone is looking.

I have 1 x terraced ticket available if you're still looking?

I may do LWJ, give me 24 hours or so.

I didn’t expect such a prickly response to my attempt to answer the original question

When I say about... it has the word pineapple in the title. Or something like that anyway.

It's to do with a band on the line-up (possibly Glass Animals) who have an album/song about Pineapples. At Glastonbury a load of fans brought pineapples and were throwing them in the crowd.
