Not sure how correct this is, but:

#LUFC are stuck on the A33. Possible late kick-off. #ReadingFC

surely they would have arrived at the stadium 2-3 hours ago to prepare and such?

Leeds are not here, could be looking at a late kick-off. Hearing there may have been some sort of incident at their hotel #readingfc

[Barry the bird boggler]

They should have to forfeit the game, only way we'll get 3 points with our lack of strikers.....

Leeds have just arrived. Only 45mins before scheduled ko. Not the best preparation whatever happens. #readingfc

[NewCorkSeth]

I hope that tw@t Joeroyal sees this.

[JimmytheJim]

Today is the day Nick Blackman sheds his disguise and reveals himself to be a real footballer after all.

[Ouroboros]

I am beginning to get mildly frustrated at what I perceive to be mistakes in our team selection.


Am I doing it right?

[RedRum]

People need to get behind the team.

Le fondre can't play up top and pog is suspended - what else is Adkins meant to do?

[Unbelievable Jeff]

it just showed on SSN Leeds arriving?

Unfortunately true. F*cking sucks. Too soon for Ugwu?

[URZZZZZ]

Leeds have never won at the Madejski Stadium, for that reason we will lose tonight

[P!ssed Off]

Why are we not starting with a striker?
Seems a bit daft to me.


Scratch the "seems a bit daft".
I'm actually quite

[Ian Royal]

Blackman on his own? Seriously!?

We've only got one player capable of scoring regularly and he's been dropped. Hope they pull their finger out tonight. A loss will be unbearable and it'd be nice to see some movement, change of pace and attacking guile.

[P!ssed Off]

You know it's shit when even Ian Royal's not happy.

He's probably just fuming about McAnuff though, tbf.

[Victor Meldrew]

Manager sees sense and picks a proper right-back in Kelly.
Manager sees something in Robson-Kanu that most of us don't-he is no longer a kid so it is yet another occasion for him to step up and use the physique of a cruiserweight rather than his normal use as a featherweight.
All of his managers have given him many chances so come on Hal show us all that you can be more than just an occasional bit-part player.

I hear you. The thing is, luckily we got rid of the shit manager we had before, and have a demi-god* in charge now, so we can be sure that it's just us being silly.

*not JIM (if only)

Not sure how you can justify the use of "most of us".
Was there a comprehensive vote that I missed.
Was it PoTS 2013 per chance?
