Not saddened by the loss of Mola or Carson but worried that there is now no cover at LB so will be interesting to see which free options pass through the club in the summer.

Which Azeez has had his contract extended though?

Crawley played well and won their delayed first leg 3-0, with Liam Kelly getting the MOTM award. Crawley’s goalkeeper had some interesting ideas! Now, as long as they don't approach the 2nd leg thinking they've already won through, we should all be able to appreciate the dumping out of the franchise.

Bit harsh to call Convey hit and miss. Ok it took him a while to settle but then he was brilliant until the bad knee injury that he never seemed to fully recover from. Hardly his fault. +1 Also one of the few (only?) Reading players to play in a World Cup Finals competition (in 2006) Hahnemann was ...

Hard to judge how it goes in cup knock out of course but as said the fact they we seemed to outplay Forest over 1.25 games recently will make us favourites. Of the potential semi final opponents - we beat Sunderland 2-1 but did not play West Ham, who finished 2nd, in the League phase. Hoping for 3 ...

Being reported that Hull have just sacked Liam Rosenior, which seems ridiculous, but nothing is surprising in football I guess. What were their expectations? They haven't been top half in the Championship since they last got promoted to the Premier League. Finishing seventh was a great season for t...

The Price of Football Podcast has an interview today with "Dave Kitson, former Reading player, now national team manager of Pacific Island Nauru " Not listened to it yet, but my guess is he'll be talking a bit about Reading rather than any of his other clubs as they were omitted from the ...

Sutekh So are there people out there that date dead women then?

And the powers that be say they didn't know?

And talking of Reading record signings, only Steve "the greatest ever short goalkeeper the world has ever seen" Death (£20k in 1970, Terry Hurlock £92k in 1986, Keith Curle £150k in 1988 and Darren Caskey £750k in 1996) could be said to have been successful. The rest, Steve Moran, Craig Ma...

Aluko + a manager/coach who knows what he's doing rather than Aluko + a chain of complete failures without a clue between them. He knew what he was doing by giving Aluko one 88th minute appearance from the bench this season, Still - it dispels some of the nonsense you saw about his “bad attitude” g...

Still hoping Cheatsea miss out on Europe though, to help with their financial LOLs

Results Saturday 4th/Sunday 5th May IL1-South Central PO Result Sun 5th Marlow 3-1 Leatherhead – att 1,589 - Got to this – club were advising all to arrive early and extra parking sites were arranged, as well as two additional outside bars and hot food outlets. Understandably queues were pretty lar...

Royals and Racers 6th team through- Tottenham who beat Aston Villa 4-3 AET at home.

Presumably Spurs would be clear favourites to win the entire play off given they won the league element by loads of points.

Imagine it’s the club looking after his welfare and letting him train to get fit rather than having intent to sign him. Wish him all the best, however his future lies away from Reading. I wonder if that was part of the termination agreement - he can continue to train at the club's facilities until ...

Maguire out injured So no centre or left backs available for tomorrow :lol: Calling the loss now! Isn't it a plus that Maguire is out? :wink: Unfortunately for England he has just about 7 weeks to get fit. Unfortunately for England, he remains one of the best two CB’s available, so he’d better be f...

If I remember correctly, when Qxf*rd came into the League the number of Tappin's Coaches of Didcot parked up outside Elm Park fell from 3 or 4 for most games to zero. if each coach had 40-45 seats that would have been quite a drop in our attendance figures at the time. Just out of interest for thos...

Realistically yeah. I think ourselves, Watford and Oxford all have higher ceilings than Wycombe - all have bigger fanbases; bigger catchment areas; better transport links; etc. That's without considering London clubs. I imagine Wycombe was simply really cheap in comparison to other clubs in this br...

Comedy suicide defending sets up the mighty Kent derby possibility again.

Meanwhile Chelsea getting the most out of their players before being forced into selling them in the summer.

Echo IR's sentiment that basic lessons of geography put a cap on what Wycombe can achieve. Relatively small town with London and bigger clubs nearby; I don't keep who they're kidding with all this talk of shooting for the stars. A few years in the Championship is the best they can hope for. Realist...
