Wigan's situation is noteworthy, you'd imagine Whelan has become more and more pissed off with football and the wage drain of wannabe players who just don't perform well enough for what they're on. Mackay has made little difference to them either. Blackpool are goosed already, Millwall are always in...

What a deflating waste of 10 mins that was watching that draw.

Might have to be put in some restrainers at the gleefull thought of a £25 ticket for seeing yet another bunch of Championship goons and losing as well.

Always think of other fans when these draws are being made, both Reading FC and everyone else...........mostly to imagine the synchronised reactions. Derby/Blackburn/Boro (A) = "Fck Off" being yelled out regardless of whoever might be around at the time. Arsenal/Man Utd/West Ham/Palace/Liv...

The middle of next month should be the indicator as to how realistic relegation could be. 2 big home games in a week against Leeds & Wigan 10th-14th (unless 14th FA Cup 5th round). If we're closer to the drop zone after that time than we are now then I'd be seriously worried. 3 of the last 4 are...

Lucky grounds: Gigg Lane, Priestfield, Portman Road Ashton Gate and on Unlucky: Wembley more often than not, Millenium Stad, Fellows Park rip, Blundell Park etc Agree, Fellows Park was a shocker of a venue for Reading.........absolute doss hole as well, not one that I've missed since its extinction...

Talking to a Boro mate he says they are bringing a full allocation 3-4 thousand. Very good support so hoping for some atmoshere at least! 1-1 Where have all the Boro fans suddenly come from. They usually bring one man and his whippet! Boro fans have always being their just they now feel like its a ...

If West Ham beat Everton tomorrow night, an away at the hammers would be lolz...........especially as they'd be hacked off having to play us lot again when they thought they'd seen the last of us for decades.

"Reading Football Club are pleased to announce that"................Steve Clarke will be the new head fall guy .

The PA announcer's "substitution for Blackpool" was a decent piece of comedy!

Nothing else much to report for us - horrendous defensive display, absolutely horrendous.

It'll be fookin freezing. Joining the human cattle drive to get back into New Street station with shoppers and those who've overdone the gluhwein. First visit to St Andrews since the seated stands have replaced the old wrap-around terracing - our game there in 1990 was a rare treat of an afternoon :...

Worcester City away would be decent (if they get past Scunny) - sharing with Kidderminster Harriers at Aggborough currently.

Bristol City away would be worth a trip.

Interesting stuff from the FA on how they are hoping to improve the International team from youths up to the senior squad. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30339482 There have been many other new dawn type initiatives announced and attempted before of course but it's pleasing to see there is at...

Ox looked well hacked off that he'd been subbed last night - although he was less effective in the 2nd half against a robust Saints set up. Arsenal do have some talented players and Sanchez is a top signing for sure, it just sometimes looks like it's all a bit comfortable for them under Wenger. Carz...

No Fixed Abode I don't think this is case today. According to today's papers, Liverpool are going to win the league after beating Leicester City last night and Gerrard is the best player in the World.

Norwich just seem to be yet another team who've come down from the PL and can't come to terms with it, they got relegated because they weren't good enough for the PL - simple as. Making a solid start just helped feed the delusions that the Champ was only a temporary blip as they still think they're ...

Q: assuming of course we lose to Norwich and then secure poor results against Bolton and Birmingham.....could you really have any complaints if Adkins then goes, as we will by then be entrenched in the bottom 3 :?: It's never that cut and dried though is it? I think looking at other clubs in the Ch...

£20 tickets & £15, £10, £5 for the various concessions - good pricing. Worth noting that there have been announcements made about Birmingham New Street Station and the operation they will have in place at this time of year - due to the German Xmas market and the huge crowds of shoppers etc which...

Can't figure out why he hasn't used Markovic a bit more. Looked impressive for Benfica last season as a quick, dangerous runner who was capable of causing defenders some alarm - would have thought he was ready made for PL football given his strengths. Seems to have been used mostly as a cup player i...

Good to see McCleary's back in action.............another couple of games and he'll be up to speed and primed ready for selling in Jan.

Send the loanees back and maybe sell Williams if a good enough offer comes in, should be close to being mission accomplished in gradually building a League 1 squad.
