Our GD is so superior to both that the extra point isn't necessary and that won't change if we match their points. If we get to a point where GD may matter for someone in 4th it's highly likely it will be for a lower magic number as only Charlton are anywhere near ours. PENDANT ALERT - Magic number...

If Tebay ends up being a bit far, worth popping into Gloucester Services for anyone passing. Same principle - all farm shop products, good food. Scenery isn't as nice, but the mounds make you feel like you are visiting Teletubby land so that's a bonus(?)!

Dug up this old thread....

Roll up, roll up......

Who left early and didn't see TMac's equaliser......

Stats (as usual) don't give the full picture; under Pauno the team had - bluntly - given up. Under PInce, they have grown to NOT give up - the last 2 games in particular. Does anyone REALLY believe that under Pauno, with the exact same players, we would have got 4 points from Shef U and Swansea? Th...

It's a bit of a syllable squish at the beginning but.... (baby shark....)

J'mari Clarke!

The vitriolic abuse on this thread is both hilarious and ridiculous. Sums up the use or social media / forums in a nutshell. Calm down people. If most people were truly honest they could see both positives and negatives from Club1871. Firstly, I must declare, I would probably be considered a plastic...

paultheroyal Welcome signing and all that but what is good about Max Lowe, anyone got the lowdown?

Checking out his wiki it makes quite depressing reading.

He is a left back.
We don't have one.
Therefore this would be good.
I think.
Maybe.

4-4-2 with Esteves on the wing?

5 at the back?

So confused...... Hopefully Stoke will be too.

Only really important question to come out of the game is: Why was Obita wearing different socks to everyone else? His had a white hoop!

Why has Obita got different socks on?

Sadly if the idiot minority continue to spend much of the game trying to antagonise the visiting support and then creating trouble afterwards, I can see the club getting cold feet and bringing Club 1871 to an end. Agree, but it'll take more than one game. Given this sort of stuff was almost weekly ...

Lastly, just t reiterate, what we're about is creating a positive atmosphere at a ground that has descended into toxicity negativity over the last half a dozen years or so. We'll give it verbal hell for leather for the full 90. We're not about arbitrarily chanting a left back who hasn't touched the...

Clueless. From start to finish. Poorly set up. Morrison thinking he can deliver a wonder pass, but to be fair he had no one to pass to. No change in first half when desperately needed. Changes at half time that left the team unbalanced with no defensive cover. Appalling games from all the creative p...

Why hasn't Puscas come on?

The lack of 3rd sub is just abject idiocy and failure in management

Victor Meldrew "Hot dog, sausage roll
Come on Reading score a goal."

It's as if it were only yesterday.

Greek souvlaki with some couscous
Come on Reading pass to Puscas


Really should stop now.....

Victor Meldrew "Hot dog, sausage roll
Come on Reading score a goal."

It's as if it were only yesterday.

Veggie wraps and guacamole
Come on Reading beat the goalie.

Update......

Kangaroo bap, chilli chicken
Come on Reading, pop it in.

Was thinking of going to this, but didn’t make it back from Cardiff in time. Second half Reading fans sounded loud on BBCRB though. My favourite post ever in a Back from the game thread. Summary 1. I didn't go as I was somewhere else. 2. I listened to half of it and fans sounded loud on the radio. ...

Really weird from Sky but oh well. Also, I really don't get the issue with moving the kick off time? It's only a few hours later than previously advertised and if people can't make it they can watch on the TV. Because people have kids. And taking kids to an afternoon boxing day game, quite possibly...
