What a start to the weekend. Best game for me since 6-0 against West Ham.

Zip Jeez. Awful second half. Rafael again lets a poor one in. Time for change in goal.

Apart from the Rafael clanger it was acceptable enough.

This. I mean, the ball was a week in the air. Was he blinded by the sun?

Zip Not the best ref for us. He missed the stamp by Mings on Oliveira.

No, he saw it, remember, so it could not be dealt with post-match. Scunthorpe.

Edited due to beer. Mmmm.

Lucky 2000 again...and it might be interesting to watch the two most injury beleaguered sides go at it. Though with that charming, erudite, super-intelligent and fair ref...

If Laurent doesn’t get them. Rinomhota will. They work as a partnership and it’s brilliant to see. Olise is something else. His vision, his passing, his composure, his skill. Another assist today and he would have had two had it not been for the handball. The way he created space for himself was so...

Snowflake Royal You're all welcome.

I won’t be posting about being privileged for not seeing Harry Arter.

They are the worst side I’ve seen this season. Only Derby come close to their absolute uselessness And they’ve spent a ton of money to produce an incredibly conservative, dull and one paced side. How can you have no shots for 85 minutes, even with 10 men? (I’m not counting that scuffed block effort...

Appears that Langford has remembered how to give a penalty, albeit looked a little soft and a red card to go with it He’s shocking. Never a straight red and barely a penalty. Absolute wet wipe pcunt, needs euthanising. Plus one. I thought I was going to have to sedate my son after the Wednesday x 2...

Looks like there isn’t going to be a BFTG thread so here are my ratings: Laurent 9 - his best game in a Reading shirt, seven tackles! Plus three key passes, the most passes of anyone on our team by far (96), and 96% pass completion. An immense performance that would probably have warranted a 10 if ...

Yep great to be there again. enjoyable even if my sodding glasses kept misting up because of the face mask. I gave up wearing mine for the same reason Didn’t try and of the food stalls but there seemed a good number there. Wearing what, the mask or the glasses?, I`m blind as a bat without my verifo...

Whilst this fixture should be relatively straightforward, we must be extremely cautious of the quality possessed by Harry Arter. A player of his calibre could really cause us problems. I hope those lucky enough to be in the stadium tomorrow are appreciative of being so lucky to be witnessing him pe...

Hound Nice little analysis of Rino and Laurent by Andrews there. Enjoyed it

Apparently Sean Morrison is partnering Moore tonight. Wonder if Cardiff get Michael, instead...

So is Pauno just some incredible motivator then? He seems to have reinvigorated the fire in so many players. Moore looks back to his best. The atmosphere after the game was pretty motivating, if you ‘do’ Instagram. Pauno will never be picked for Strictly unless he changes dancing style, though. Was...

Ok not utterly convincing, but we can only play what’s in front of us, yada, yada, yada. But, but the Olise goal. How? In that time? With his weaker leg? Olise does everything with his left foot and scored with his left foot !!!! My bad, apologies. The speed that thing came at him, though... Anyway...

A truly woeful, awful win,. The first half not a shot on target, gifted two really dubious reds especially the second. Cabral - 7 one good save kept us in, but poor distribution. Araruna - 5 sloppy. Morrison - 6 better but a bit slow. Moore - 5 not good enough. Richards - 4 wont be here long. Rinom...

Royalwaster I know a lot of people on here hate Aluko and would prefer to see him do badly than prove them wrong ... but I think he did really well when he came on. I'm hoping he proves all the haters wrong ...

+1 That would be a very 2020 thing to happen.

Word on Barnsley. Thought they were excellent until the harsh red. Play the way I wish we would. But, didn't really have much goal threat... keep up that level of performance, tighten the discipline and add a goalscorer and they should have a pretty good season. You seem to be obsessed with how goo...
