Would be good to see what the final score was. Cannot see it but I can gather we lost.

Some of those Spurs goals would not look out of place on a kids playground. So much for all the crap on the OS. It’s our cup final, we are all in this together, we will fight to the end. I had enough of that bollocks with the mens team. I would rather they say we are shit and have no chance of stay...

The EFL decision relating to Wigan is here on the EFL website. https://www.efl.com/news/2023/january/efl-statement-wigan-athletic/ QUOTE Wigan Athletic has received a three-point deduction to be suspended until 31 December 2023 after admitting to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations.

With the embargo due to expire at the end of the season it is entirely appropriate for the EFL to REVIEW the status of penalties applied previously. That is all it is - a REVIEW. It does not mean any rules have been broken or any further penalties will be applied UNLESS that discover something as pa...

Anyway back on track after Ian ruined the thread, (btw I support taking the knee and understand why it's done) Le fondre missed 2 back to back penalties In the 95th minute SIGN HIM UP! Correct. He plays for Sydney and they were against a 9 man Wellington team after 2 red cards. Dubious penalty awar...

A Doyle and Long would do very nicely thank you! I ...

I'm 100% behind the statement and I'll be backing the boys and making some noise. Well said Zammo. There is one thing to complain against the club but as soon as the whistle blows you support the team that is sent out to represent our club. Too many sarcastic comments and put downs to others viewpo...

If only these great pics and memories could be remembered with the EP music (and on) of its time too. Maybe the big party day in May they should play Mouldy Ol dough, Earles a Winger, Sing for the Royyaallss la la la la la , Lux Aerterna, Embraces Ashes, etc on the tannoy pre-match?....I’d draw the...

I am just back in the UK until Thursday and clearing out some boxes that have been stored at my sisters. I have a large collection of Reading Programmes, some back into the 40's/50's. Almost all home games in 60's plus some aways. All home/aways in 70's, 80's, 90's plus various other momentos. Need ...
