I share others concerns about the rest of the season based on that. I know it's peak knee jerk reaction but after the big changes recently and our continual turbulence it's hard to remain rational sometimes. My fear is we'll plummet down the league and get relegated. For those who poo poo this, I be...

I feel like we should have fielded a strong team for the cup game, got the win, started Hunt's era on a positive win and continued the momentum. I feel like we didn't need to lose today, but the Cup game probably affected us. Good news is, some of these players will play themselves out of being poa...

Derby had 27,000 home fans for their Friday night game. Just a side note. That was one of the worst performances I can remember for a long long time. It was dire and shockingly poor. Blackpool were better than I expected tbf. 0-3 loss is kind for Reading, on another day it could have been double tha...

Weird goings on at Millwall, who ended a nine-match unbeaten run at the weekend with a home defeat to Coventry. Neil Harris and the team were subject to some anger from the stands, and after the game Harris referred to those fans as 'thickos'. Three days later, he is leaving the club by mutual cons...

What did Button do to get sent off? I missed it as I tuned in late.

Popped into the Wycombe forum and whilst they were generally complimentary and respectful about the team (though Smith comes in for some stick!), they were much, much less complimentary about our fans - very similar to whats being said about our own fans on this thread in fact. I found the thread a...

Songs that I'm surprised we've not stumbled upon #3244 One about Mbengue to the tune of Agadoo. Please god no. I remember Arsenal sang this at an away game - possibly Bournemouth - last season and the chant went on for about 20 minutes. It made watching the game extremely hard. The next day even Ta...

the worse bit about RFC chants is that the rampant coke use means they're all sang 10-20% faster than they need to be. Funny that I was going to say similar. At Wycombe, it wasn't just the speed of songs, it was the speed at which they got through a whole series of chants. E.g. 15 seconds on "...

To be honest, a lot of these referreeing issues I partially attribute to the media turning them into z-lister celebraties. Personalities in their own right. Mike Dean on Sky Sports, Howard Webb giving his view at games. I also often defend referrees for the following reasons (none of which excuses m...

Glad it's not just me noticing this. I'm a liberal sort and enjoy the tribalism and theatrical/exaggerated interaction between home and away fans. Saturday was funny as there was a lot of abuse directed to the stand to the right (as you face the pitch). There were about 50 empty seats and a lot of f...

stealthpapes Down a bit on last season, guess the novelty of, say, Bolton or Exeter is faded.

The novelty of Reading is also fading

Swansea - went in fully expecting to lose. They'd been the better team all season. We ran them close though, and this time we really were a top end Champ side knocking at the door regularly. Arsenal (FAC semi) - I think I'm right in saying we've never beaten Arsenal. We ran them far closer than I t...

I found yesterday hard to enjoy. Maybe I'm getting old, grumpy or both. Or maybe I was just unlucky. But every time we have an away game with a full allocation like this, it brings out utter twats. Yesterday there was about 6 behind me. Repeatedly, the entire first half, they were continually shouti...

pleasant but unsuccessful PO campaign Oxymoron. Seventh place would be preferable than another unsuccessful playoff campaign imo. Agree. I refuse to go to wembley again unless someone can guarantee I won't have another miserable loss, and travelling back home listening to 40,000 other fans celebrat...

WestYorksRoyal Can Brogue moderate X/Twitter too? Lots of people on there agree with Jimmy and aren't shy saying it.

We've all moved onto Bluesky, it's the superior being.

Darn it

Getting late in the day now. Wonder if he'll be at Wycombe? Assuming it's not announced last minute that's gone off to Hull

Hull may be a pretty uninspired choice but realistically almost any club at our level or above will be a improvement with our current ownership. That was my thought too. Imagine it, Selles turns up and the owner is sat there with the director of football. There are a plate of bourbons on the table ...

Brogue's assertiveness has turned me on a bit

Is it not a total ballache getting there by public transport? Getting from train station to ground seems a simple taxi situation. But coming back may be more difficult as there will likely be loads of people wanting taxis. Are people booking them and then walking 10 minutes away from the ground to t...
