Pepe the Horseman Derby fans had become quite humble as the plucky underdogs, but they're now back to their entitled selves. A week ago they thought it was just a matter of time before they caught us, and now they're looking for every excuse under the sun. Very belatedly whinging about us getting Drinkwater and suggesting Pauno didn't get a payout and Ince is working for free.

They should be delighted we got Drinkwater

Add Andy Rinomhota to the growing list of defensive midfielders who have bullied Browne out of the game in recent weeks
For a team that couldn't buy a win Reading in the first half were very effective going forward only needing 2 or 3 short one touch passes to completely open us up for fun
Credit to Reading, they blocked off Whiteman from playing out from the back and minimised our opportunities to overload the flanks with a decent press. We lacked precision in our passing and adventure in our wingbacks.
Riis miss was horrific. Overall not a great performance from him and rightly hooked. Compare Riis to Lucas Joao, not a contest.
John Swift for them is outstanding.
reading keeper had more to do against Peterboro despite our' pressure'
Bauer was bossed in the first half by Jaoa
Makes perfect sense, he should have gone weeks ago. I suspect the Reading players knew and decided to put some effort in today.
I think we need to give Reading a little bit of credit rather slating the players. We don't have a divine right to win every game. Yes we were off it in first half but second half was encouraging. All of their goals were well crafted.
Well crafted ??
The first came from one of our players trying to pass the ball back into his own crowded penalty area instead of booting the ball clear, the second Johnson gave the ball straight to one of their players, the third read what happened for the second. Mistakes from our players contributed to all 3 of their goals.
PNE 2 - 3 John Swift ( no 10 ) Masterclass
nuff said .
How is John Swift still at Reading? Consistently one of the best midfielders in the league yet stays there
I hate playing Reading btw
We couldn’t even get basics right - Reading were no big deal but we made them look like premier league outfit - I bet they couldn’t believe their luck.
I hate Reading and Gillingham. Two shitty cheeks of a fat hairy arse.

I can see the latter 2 things being true. If Ince is on a ‘keep us up’ bonus it would be payable in the next financial year so much less significant for FFP.

Jagermesiter1871 Slightly unrelated but saw on the Brum forum a thread about another stoppage at last nights Sunderland game due to a fan having a heart attack. They all seem to be slightly bemused and I've seen similar after player heart issues and other fan incidents. The primary blame (of course by the thickos) seems to be the vaccine. There doesn't seem to be many (if any) commenting the obvious that this is likely a result of the wide spread virus that affects organs that has been ripping through the country the last 2 years. Am I the only one who finds it weird that no one seems to be discussing the obvious?

WestYorksRoyal Saw one Birmingham City opinion piece suggest they should go for Swift in the summer. How delusional are they?

Royal Ginger I don’t really see it as us against Derby. They’re going to catch us and pass us. I think our season hinges on chasing down Hull or not.

I think most realise it's most likely due to covid but without finding out if everyone who had an event had previously contracted covid, they're sensible enough not to rush to any conclusions.
Meanwhile the most vocal ones are usually the anti-vaxxers who usually don't even have the balls to outright make their claim, usually making really obvious suggestions to blaming the vaccine without outright saying it.

Personally I suspect that there have always been these incidents, but in the past, they were rarely - if ever - commented on, whereas now, every incident is commented on.

Yeah, but that’s not how preparing a set of accounts works.
If there is a known commitment (a debt) it must be accounted for at the time it becomes a debt, not when it’s paid.
Given that the season will be over before the accounting year end (30th June), any ‘bonus’ would have to be shown in the accounts.

Isn't it a new protocol that matches get stopped when there's a medical emergency in the crowd which is why its noticed these days?

Why are people so convinced that Derby will go past us? Have you seen their away form. On current (and season long) form, they are likely to get 6 more points on the road - puts massive pressure on their home form - and 5 of their next 6, including tonight are away.
Of those away games they have to visit Luton, Bournemouth and Blackburn.
If they are in touch with us after this run, then they will have done very well.

New defender to go with the new goalie signed the other week, a player on loan from Chelsea, Tom Ince and Andy Carroll for 5 months . Embargo my arse. Can we have our centre half back who we had to give to Stoke please- the ones who've just been allowed a 180 million FFP get out of jail free card. bankers
