Top half/mid table. After the insanity of the last few years, it will be entirely understandable if the release of pressure creates a slightly more subdued atmosphere within the team. They're excellent players, but they're not fighting for their lives any more, and we've always been a couple of play...

I kinda get it though. Family and friends come and go, as do we all, but you expect your club to live on in perpetuity... it's a permanent fixture of life. And a focal point of life for some, with tens of thousands of hours and pounds invested into it. In some ways it can be more akin to a person's...

Can't help but feel that someone writes a half sentence on a social site, a bot picks it up and uses chatGPT to flesh out an 'article' on it (which is mostly just fluff and rewording, to make it sound like they're ITK). Then other bots pick it up and do the same. In that fleshing-out process, the w...

Brogue heard its Sandia Investment management LP

If accurate, a UK company with a *very* similar name was incorporated last month in Reading

If we played "It was 2.45 the place was alive" these days, we'd be sued for fraud.

Now some caller into BBC Berks and us saying the club is about to be sold to Blue River Holdings who he says are an affiliate company of Dai Yongge and Dayong Pang and owned by Ben E King (who I thought died in 2015). Anyway no doubt yet more made up bollox for those that are avoiding the bollox yo...

Comfortable, boring midtable, with a new owner and no financial implosion, would be fine

Any update on this?

I think we will win but I don't think it will be pretty. If he isn't going to play Foden as a 10 then don't start him, start Gordon or Palmer on the wing. Would actually like a 3-5-2 for this one. Pickford Walker Stones Gomez Saka Rice Bellingham Mainoo Palmer Foden (floating) Kane I'd be very comf...

Snowflake Royal 2-1 to the Swiss in normal time, I reckon.

I think it will be a repeat of the Swiss' last game - 2-0.

Southgate is falling for the old England trap of trying to fit everyone in, instead of actually building a side. I bet he's missing Grealish right now. Completely agree, but tbf he was getting pelters, and on here too, when his focus was on building a side. I think we're missing Rashford, fwiw. Yes...

Foden is the only one who tries. I don't blame Foden, he's out of position and can't play with any freedom like he does at City. I take your point but if we are playing with wingers then we need to play actual wingers there imo. Oh, we need to play with a left side. Foden should be in Bellingham's ...

They’re a business. They’ll be getting an excellent training ground, I assume on the cheap because of our desperation. They owe us nothing. Our club has been absolutely shafted by a series of utter tossers, if Wycombe can take advantage of that to give themselves a competitive advantage, good luck ...

I started supporting the club in the mid 90s, when I was about 10 years old. I remember at that time hearing people talk about the Simod Cup, how it was such an important part of the club’s history etc. To a 10 year old, 8 years before felt impossibly long ago. Like a different generation, a differe...

You could always just oxf*rd off and go to the theatre. Hi Ian, long time no speak. Have you seen the revival of Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre? Highly recommended. If you’ve not been, get standing tickets instead of seats. Far superior way of seeing the show. There’s also some interesting st...

It would honestly be lovely to be clubless. Visit the local club whenever I'm away for work, just see some new grounds and teams without the emotion of wanting a particular result. In many ways I look forward to the death of Reading FC.

Does anyone know if they played Ashes on Saturday?

Never, ever in my life would I have guessed that this piece of shit thread would get to page 3.

Yes. 2.45 - Royals Anthem - Kevin Girdler 2.50ish - Lux Aterna big screen video ( for those that actually go to their seats that early) 2.55ish - Ashes - Embrace OR Sirius - Alan Parsons Project (if you prefer Ashes for walkout, can't remember what season it was we used it but it's a class build-up...
