Such a contrast in final day excitement between divisions. In League One, the only 'live' result to be finalised is the final play-off spot, which will be taken either by Leyton Orient or Reading. In the Championship however, eight of the 12 matches have something riding on it, however tenuous. Bur...
When he realises Reading is extremely short of decent places to eat it could throw the whole thing up in the air….. I’d have pointed him to Munchies for a good old all day breakfast ( but it’s now defunct). Maybe Clay’s for an Indian, Yolk Cafe for a decent brunch or Orwell’s out at Shiplake for so...
Article in The Guardian about Birmingham name checks us. Now Birmingham, who travel to Stevenage on Thursday, have records in their sights, namely Wolves’ 103-point haul in 2013-14 and the Football League record of 106 points set by Reading when they were promoted from the Championship in 2005-06. ...
A crumb of comfort for me is Orient vs Wycombe kick off at 12.30 the same as us, Wrexham vs Charlton is 17.30, Wycombe know that if they win they`re in second and will be hoping for a favour from the team that stuffed them 4-0 today. I can see Orient v Wycombe being a draw as the latter go ultra de...
Personally I’m really pleased for Wrexham as I’ve lived in North Wales for 25 years or so and their current success has a great knock-on feel good factor for the region from Wrexham all the way west across to Anglesey. They haven’t seen good times like this since the 1970s and North Walians love th...

How the f u ck did Oliver not give a free-kick and immediate red card to the Millwall 'keeper? VAR should not have been needed for that. One of the worst tackles I've ever seen. Because, imo, Oliver is currently one of the worst referees in the PGMOL and has been for a couple of years. Talk of Robe...
top 2 in the Champ play each other tonight also, 'Frank Lampard's Coventry' win again, making it 7 wins from the last 8 games. In the first 17 games of the season they only won 4. Lampard has managed the 17 games since then where they have only lost 4 they were in 17th place when he took over havin...
We played poorly but have another point towards a healthy points total should we end up with a deduction at any point between now and the end of the season, we should hopefully still be able to absorb it and stay up. If you sell your best players and biggest goal threat it doesn’t take a genius to ...

I think he provides much needed experience at third division level and personally I’m willing to give him every chance and full support while he is wearing our shirt, why wouldn’t you?
Should get the authorities involved. Poor lad sold off to Brighton like a piece of meat 12 months ago and now been trafficked to Mansfield. His eyes in those Mansfield pictures are dead and are saying “help me”.
Holmes was always a poor move, as he's never going to get into a PL / parachute Champ team. McIntyre is just a broken wreck, if he ever stayed fit for long he'd be good. Holmes was at the game today. Glad he got to see a win... he was a STH when he was young, wasn't he? He was, and so were Tom Mc a...
Challinor is a very decent manager and should Reading ever become a football club again, would be an ideal choice in the lower divisions. I saw the first three years of his managerial career at first hand at Colwyn Bay and did a brilliant job on limited resources before leaving for a cash fuelled p...
They did their homework on us and paid very close attention to Wing who was awful. Games like this are why he's still in L1. Beaten by a team full of senior pros with a decent manager. Challinor is a very decent manager and should Reading ever become a football club again, would be an ideal choice ...
Neale Cooper (RIP). Was so excited we’d signed him at the time when Mark McGhee first came in, but his legs had gone and injuries had caught up with him. A fantastic player in his Aberdeen prime days but a sad brief stay in Berkshire. You could probably say the same about Martin Keown and Les Ferdin...
