Loafer Luton and Coventry are no longer considered our rivals. HTH.


I made the thread and we can talk about any of the playoffs

NathStPaul Luton or Coventry being in the Premier League next season is quite amazing. Got to take your hats off to them both, unreal achievement.


Fairytale outcome either way. Makes me hopeful Reading can get back to this level at some point.

Got to hand it to robins what a fantastic job he’s done at cov. Just goes to show what stability can bring. And considering their start to the season aswell, having so many games postponed cos of their pitch. Fair play to them.

Pepe the Horseman Cardiff have sacked Lamouchi. Expect Nathan Jones will be their next manager.


As long as they leave Wilder alone.

Wilder's a Swansea fan and has previously said he'd never manage Cardiff.


He's a Sheffield United fan actually

Speaking of fairytales, I see Man City have just made it to the Champions League final. I remember playing them in the Second Division not so long ago.

Indeed, I remember visiting main road in the kappa stand for a boring 0-0 in 1997? I think georgi kinkladze missed a penalty

I was at that game too. It was my first encounter with a scally. Confusingly he asked me "how" I support Reading. I later found out that meant "why" do I support Reading. Very cool.

Might sound petty but if there's one comfort from Sunderland and Middlesbrough losing it means QPR and Cardiff fans have missions up north to those shitholes next season..Hoping Coventry win the final.so both have to go to Kenilworth Road. At least we can have fun at Wycombe, Pompey, Oxford, Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham

From Despair To Where? I kind of see Ian's point. Finishing mid table wouldn't be a disaster if we can see some foundations being laid to push on the season after. Depending on what happens behind the scenes, I dont think we should necessarily get fixated on league position next season.


I just want our beloved club to be run sensibly again..if we are then we won't be in league one for long. If we are badly run we will rot there like we have for decades before

100% this. It's been a decade of shambles, and I'd love the club to get back to being boringly sensible. I think we really took for granted under Madejski that the club was actually pretty well run. It may not have splashed the cash much, but it generally made decent decisions.

Snowflake Royal We all know what we want and hope for, just as long as we're not throwing our toys and demanding yet more change if we miss out but are still safe.

Brick by brick. Learn from failure, not just scrap everything and start again.

We should not be the sort of team that sacks a manager in January for being 11th.


Indeed! but we need to bring the right manager in to begin with, not another nobody
