Sadly (for me) this is an area in which i am something of an expert, having to deal with the PSR on a regular basis. Credit cards are by far the card you want to be using when buying expensive things. Section 75 of the CCA is significantly more powerful and reliable than relying on chargeback. Just...

I was mildly intrigued by the wording on the email, particularly "one thing that you can rely on is the Royals will be lining up in August ready for another action packed campaign" All the activity definitely gives me a feeling that they're confident stability is around the corner, maybe ...

:arrow: https://x.com/STARReading/status/1795815747920212164 We are in a tough position. Discretion is essential at this stage of negotiations, but we also know Reading fans are anxious for updates. This is being made worse by false reporting and inaccurate rumour-mongering. We have spoken to Nigel...

I don't know about anyone else, but for me, with it being close season, the whole club ceasing to exist suddenly feels less painful than it did when we were actually playing. I sort of get what you mean. It's all a bit, well, distant right now. Almost abstract. However, as the season approaches, as...

LUX I’d far prefer to go up via the play- offs at Wembley. Just to experience it once. I was at all four final failures, plus the Cup semi final.

Same. Although a promotion to the Championship via the POs might be a bit anticlimactic.

I'll go one better on the stink test stranded. Just days after exclusivity is extended, some rando twatter nomark says its all off.

Why was exclusivity extended then?

Yep, but most of those will not have come cheap on the wages front. Promotion likely a must (before the guaranteed relegation next season). They survive for a couple of seasons sometimes... just like they sometimes go a few seasons without promotion. True however since 2012/13 then have spent 5 sea...

Rotherham have already made five signings, all free transfers: Jonson Clarke-Harris (from Peterborough); Reece James (Sheff Wed); Shaun McWilliams (Northampton); Joe Rafferty (Portsmouth); Sean Raggett (Portsmouth). They'll be challenging towards the top this season. That was pretty much a given. Y...

That was pretty much a given.

Seriously? I'd rather see the takeover go through than England win the Euros; it's existential. But I'd rather see England win the Euros over promotion from L1, or even to the Premier League. I've seen promotion, it was good and I'd enjoy it again, but been there done that. I've never seen England ...

Pretty happy with the shorts and socks I bought on sale to play in.

James Henry (now 34) released by the Ox. Wonder if he might end up back here? In our first Premier League season I was fortunate (not so fortunate for him :wink: ) to be sat next to Steve Coppell at the League Managers Association annual dinner at Stamford Bridge. He was very open when we talked ab...

Obviously corrupt, tax cheat, Harry Redknapp is a good bloke?

Sutekh Why do betting companies even give odds on this sort of thing, yet more greed - this time by preying on those with problems.

Yep.

Have just watched the interview with Lewis Wing's partner. It goes on a bit but not a bad interview at all. Thanks mate, appreciate that. Most videos I do are about an hour long but it's fair constructive criticism that they need to be shorter Length really should be dependent on the content and/or...

I still couldn't give a shit about England, but thanks for letting me know that big clubs take players from smaller clubs I didn't know that. Providing a valuable service as ever Ian. Ah yes, when I noticed it was you I was quoting I knew I'd get some sort of pathetic response. Here’s a tip, don’t ...

From Despair To Where?

Franchise FC

SouthDownsRoyal Any update on the takeover?

Yep

Apparently, exclusivity has been extended
Posh are down to 10
GOAL !

I think that just about covers it

Idiots!

Groundhog day

From Despair To Where? Not meaning to be cruel but it's 100 minutes long and, if some people have a face for radio, you have a voice for silent movies.

Nice.

I've have gone with face for radio, voice for print media, but I like.

couldn't give a shit about England I'm more concerned with Reading FC. It's this system which has greatly benefited Reading, picking up and developinh the likes of Sigurdsson and Olise, and getting substantial money for the likes of those young Academy players who recently moved on before they got ...
