Most league games won in the last 50 seasons 1.Manchester Utd - 1084 2.Liverpool - 1065 3.Arsenal - 1001 4.Manchester City - 926 5.Chelsea - 919 6.Ipswich - 893 7.Reading - 887 I saw that. Probably means that until 3 or 4 years ago we were in 4th place. I did think during my childhood experiences i...
His obituary is in The Times this am. A brief mention of his time with us. Thanks for starting a separate thread, as the news has got somewhat lost on the ex player's thread. Although I started going during Jack Mansell's reign, it wasn't until the early 1970's i started going regularly, and the 19...
Man who last played for Reading and is without a club still - posts a picture of him with in the last football kit he played in with a timer underneath. Most obvious meaning is that he is still waiting to get back into football. Absolutely nothing to do with us bar he used to play for us, so not su...
This isn't at all good for fans that watch live football even with the proposed notice, one of the good things about this season has been 3 o'clock kick offs and midweek games not live which kills attendances. So next season we will have around 8 midweek games all live, all cup games and assuming of...
So if there's a pitch invasion after promotion we could potentially have promotion rescinded, depending on points. Interesting. Not sure I'd fancy being on the pitch being promoted out of this league. The championship maybe but not here Then again Jim, we were all on the pitch, back in the day, aft...
FT 2-2. With Port Vale and Cheltenham both losing that means Reading are now 10 (TEN) points clear of the bottom 4. Port Vale (21st) don't have enough games left to be able to reach 50 points and Cheltenham can only do so if they win all 4 games they have left but would have to make a good 20 goal ...
They must be in serious trouble if they stay down. When the IDC's judgements are published on points deductions, they always detail aggravating and mitigating circumstances. What would it be for Leicester? 12 points for FFP breaches, doubled to 24 for being massive dicks about it? :lol: If Leiceste...
There's a spreadsheet on Twitter somewhere and basically every player move, in & out and loans have an agent's fee, even the likes on Bouzanis going to a L2 side on loan.
For me: Pereira Abrefa, Mbengue, Bindon, Mola Wing, Elliott Azeez, Knibbs, Ehibhatiomhan Smith Button, Dorsett, Carson, Rushesha, Savage, Mukairu, Wareham With Carson and/or Rushesha getting 20 minutes. In fact this would be my next three teams. Pereira Yiadom, Bindon, Dorsett, Mola Wing, Savage Az...
Only once segregation became a thing. I have been to games when the Tilehurst End was the away end (official) and where everyone was just mixed in. Some games the South Bank was pretty much the away end ! Which is was as far back as I can remember (first game in 1989) You used to be able to pay 50p...
Benchmark for me are the Portsmouth and Bolton away games. What did they have over us, to turn us over so emphatically. Style of play? Fast wide players? Quality of player in certain positions? Match off against that with what we have now and we would be just fine, if we can find that type of playe...
After Oldham’s great escape in the 92/93 premiership season I’d never take anything as a given until we’re mathematically safe. I am pretty sure Oldham were 9 points behind Palace with 3 games left and survived. I remember thinking we were safe in 2007/8 and that ended badly. Obviously, I am very c...
Embarrassing from Leicester. Premier League spine, spent gazillions in wages, lost 9 games. Should have walked this league. Pathetic. Reading's record will always be the greatest points achievement, as they did it without a PL level squad and gazillions in parachute payments. In fairness Ipswich ha...
