First half started well, but quickly turned to one of the most dreary 45 mins I've seen at the Madejski. Felt like a friendly. Second much better with the introduction of Barrow and Quinn, great goals from Kelly. Stand out performances: Moore, Barrow, Quinn, Clement, Kelly, Evans, Rinomhota Poor: Ri...
I support Reading and Middlesbrough. I look forward to being told what a shit fan I am and how I'm everything that's wrong with modern football.

Currently 4th in the Championship with a squad many thought would seriously struggle to make t...
The state of this argument, Jesus wept. A rule changed, most of us couldn't be arsed to keep up to date and so booed the ref for making a correct decision. It was utterly insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
First game in a long time, good to be back. 1st half was pretty poor, Norwich pressed very well and countered our style of play very effectively. We were lucky to be ahead at the break. Second half was weird - there were 10 minutes of utter madness where no one could seem to string a pass together o...
