Ainsworth, yes that's a good call but has to be Parky for me and the SM of all Reading fans. Parky's been my favourite for several rounds of manager changes already, still is, but having heard Ince talk about the club today, I'd be happy with him having a longer shot at it. Ttrouble is If we wait t...

Sad to say, as nice as JLow is, our local reporting is the worst I have known it since the mid 90's. Jonathan really needs something else to cover; like garden fate's or local bake off's :| We need someone young and who isn't scared to dig for a story and ruffle a few feathers along the way, much li...

Deli Ali advised to drop to the Championship to get his career back on track... What a numpty he is.

Yeovil have just had a consortium pull out of buying the club. Not sure what impact that has on the club.

Everton lose more than £100 million for the third successive year but still avoid sanctions - how???

I’d be happy with ainsworth, but would like to see how ince develops. Who knows maybe ince will work out. But you can’t miss what a fine job ainsworth has done with Wycombe on a shoestring budget against some big teams. Ainsworth, yes that's a good call but has to be Parky for me and the SM of all ...

2 words. Parky's Trapdoor. And for those not in the know, it was a phrase coined by Bradford players because he would go missing whenever they wanted to speak to him. Ignore the Bankers fake news above the real Bradford fans had a different view " Parkinson took over a Bradford City side who w...

Shaun Allaway. Joined Leeds and was never heard of again. Joined Leeds in March 2000 :shock: - yes it is that long ago - for a rumoured 500k plus addons which obvs. never materialised. Never made a senior appearance for Leeds and neither for Grimsby or Walsall where he was loaned. Leeds released hi...

Parkys Wrexham are now 2nd in the National League with games in hand, gotta be in the reckoning. How does that mean he has to be in the reckoning? Instead of moving upwards in his managerial career, he and his dated hoof ball have gone backwards. There isn't a hope in hell he'll ever manage in the ...

And you have the Victoria Cross (formerly Trooper Potts) next to Morrisons. Only 20 minutes walk and then there's the World Turned Upsidedown on the Amazingstoke road too. Yep. I don't get all the moaning about lack of pubs within walking distance of the ground. All three are 10-20 minutes walk to ...

The Irish pub in the Holiday Inn is literally only a 10 minute walk away from the stadium. Callaghan's I think it is. And you have the Victoria Cross (formerly Trooper Potts) next to Morrisons.

Stranded Rumours going round today that Derby's admins will confirm the preferred bidder today and that it will be a consortium that includes a certain Mr Mel Morris.

18 year-old's Kelvin Abrefa and Jack Senga have both signed pro contracts today keeping them here until 2024.

Another record to cherish.

Have you taken cocaine, or any other class A drug, when attending Reading games?

boycey Would make for an interesting poll.

Cocaine can have that effect...

Would be disappointed if we were making signings like this rather than giving Clarke a proper run. Clarke is 18 and some way off being ready for first team football. I’d only want players who can contribute straight away to be in the first team, not one’s with a lot of development still to do. Thin...

Stranded Can't help but think we will be linked with every rated lower division player this summer, esp. if we do stay up.

Seen us linked with Jamie Reid of Stevenage too, so you may be right.

Just as Birmingham were showing interested.

Would be disappointed if we were making signings like this rather than giving Clarke a proper run. With all the OOC players this summer and the likelihood of flogging Joao to get his wages off our books, I'd be surprised if we aren't looking for a couple of strikers. Clarke will almost certainly be...
