This is so obvious! It’s Reading FC,
“There is such enormous potential to do something amazing here and I cannot resist the challenge.” He is alleged to have said.

Looks like the real deal.

Sorry, I haven't kept up with all this news. Does this mean that we have only Gunter, Mcleary and Baldock left of those Gomes wanted to clear out? Don't worry, the Chinese Transfer window opens in November (1st maybe), so we'll probably send them there and get Aluko back. Won't that please everybody...

Cherries agree Stacey Deal Bournemouth have agreed to sign Jack Stacey from Luton Town for £4m, according to Sky sources. Stacey is expected to undergo a medical on Monday ahead of completing the move to the Vitality Stadium. Just hope that we had a percentage sell-on included when we sold him to th...

I used to do a football pools collection round in Tilehurst and John's wife did a coupon every week (players were not allowed to do the pools) and I used to stop at their place (on Garston's Park-it was marriage second time round for John) for a chat, nearly always about football. We left Tilehurst...

Victor Meldrew An interesting one-I wonder if it is a case of wanting to be back down near London and Barry Hunter having a part to play.

It was Barry Hunter who was instrumental in Tiago Illori coming. Is he using his old club as a dumping ground for Anfield's misfits?

Meanwhile looks like compensation talks have hit a few glitches and Mr Gomes will not be announced before Monday. It's either that or he's been diverted and gone missing in the Gatwick aftermath. Debut game. Millwall away. What's the obsession with Gatwick? There are at least 4 airlines that fly fr...

Heard bits of a programme on Radio Berkshire one morning recently. Tonight I managed to find it on the "Sarah Walker Show" which was on 15/10/2018. Here's the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06mr0l1. Listen from 1:11 to 1:54. It includes interviews with local Journo's from that ti...

Good, hope Evans stays get real, he is going. The Sunderland chairman has tweeted that the bid has been accepted, and the Sunderland Echo says this: The bid for Evans has been accepted, with the player expected to undergo a medical once he returns from Reading's pre-season tour in Austria. Tough ti...

BBC Transfers page today: Jonathan Bond [Reading - West Brom] Free Former England Under-21 international Bond, 25, played 45 times on loan at League One Peterborough last season and was released by Reading this summer. He has agreed a two-year contract and is the second goalkeeper to arrive at the H...

Didn't know he'd moved into Rugby League and had a hair transplant.

Sky Transfer Centre 21.09 on 29.6.18 BREAKING NEWS Sky Sports News understands Brighton have made a third bid for Reading's Liam Moore – including an increased up-front payment of £8million. Reading would receive a series of add-on payments throughout the duration of the former Leicester defender's ...

Should have been No. 13. You the fans who have had to put up with such crap all season. Loads more effort than any of the overpaid prima donnas who were selected on that list.

Maybe next year the organiser can remember them..

Liam Moore caught in possession 4 times, cos he has no Paul McShane to pass to.

Hopefully he will be encouraged to spend some time coaching the younger strikers, a superb example for them to follow.

http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/15398015.READING_FC__Yakou_Meite_seals_season_long_loan_move_away_from_Royals/?ref=mrb&lp=1 So another going away for a season, how many will return I wonder. Can't help thinking that he would be better served having a loan in a lower EFL Division. Maybe f...

I don't like it. I preferred the old one. Me too. The mobile one does view better, but on a 13" laptop it's not good; I hardly get the opening front page pic on the depth of the screen and having to keep scrolling down to see what else is available rather than the slideshow moving across, whic...

I think maybe it's a Dutch thing. Koeman had digs at the people responsible for signings and the owner (at Everton) in his post match interview last weekend. This week he finally got one of the players he wanted. Maybe Jaap Stam has taken a leaf out of his book and tried to get things moving. The di...

It does make you wonder whether Nick Hammond's method was the best after all, no news until the deal is done. Brian (Tevreden?), on the other hand likes everyone to know all the possibilities. Which pleases most of the fans, I guess. The trouble is, it then seems to take ages to finalise the deal, l...
