Just checking out the pubs you mention and i reckon it`s the Kings Arms not Head. That’s right yes, sorry, memory slip, while since I’ve been in there. It’s a good option though as close to ground and on street parking. Lot of home fans use it before the game, usually very good selection of real al...

What are the good boozers these days, Norfolk? Best near the ground is the Coachmakers on Thorpe Rd, leave the station to the right and a 100 yards up the hill. That’s the only real ale pub option near the ground. Kings Head on Hall Road would be a good option as well as you could park near it and ...

As a veteran of travelling away with RFC in the late 70s early 80s I can't believe how large and vociferous our away followings are now. Remember travelling to places like Rochdale and Hartlepool and barely seeing another Reading fan in the ground. It's all relative of course, we had smaller crowds ...

Is it the treatment room?

Really think we ought to get Mbengue tied down as he’s got heaps of potential.

Millwall.

Who knew Ejaria had a black belt in judo though. Very impressive.

That’s the poorest game I’ve seen Tince have this season. Difficult to see where goals are coming from.

Impressed with Mbengue so far tonight. Looks good at centre back, not so at right back.

Having watched the highlights back does anyone else think Lumley should have done better on the 2nd goal? He moves far too close to the near post before Evans shoots and gives too much of the goal to aim at. Feel if he stayed central he would have saved it. If he’d made the right decision yes, but ...

Disappointing performance really. There seems to be a conundrum with selection up front. Do we go for the battering ram approach of Carroll and Meite or the more ground-based and subtle approach of Joao and Long. Last night Ince opted for the battering ram. Before the game that must have seemed a de...

Similar but better possession based side to Swansea, if we sit deep again we will get murdered. very impressed with them last night. They did look very good but you can see why they've drawn eight games. For all their possession and good pass and move last night they created very few, if any, clear...

Andy Carroll is already a legend at Reading in my book. He went out of his way to shake the hands of the Royals mascots pre-match as he went back to the dressing room, and at halftime was pleased to celebrate with the kicking competition winner. Not many players would do that. Yes, pleasantly surpr...

Norfolk Royal Did they get Loum’s name right on SSN screen. Seemed like it had about 20 letters in it.

Mamadou Loum N'Diaye.

They squashed all the letters together as they wouldn’t fit on the screen.

This has got a one-nil win to us written all over it.

Edit: told you.

Jackson Corner My all time favourite was Russel Kempson, I don’t know where he was from but he became a Reading fan and left for the Times. He would often mention us in his pieces I remember a particular scathing piece about Alan Pardew going to West Ham.
