Roman Abramovich v Dai Yongge

After the disappointing demise of Reading FC Women's team and the protracted sale of the club that seems to get hidden behind a cloak of continual "she'll be right" announcements I am getting quite concerned that the rest of the club will follow the same path into oblivion similar to what ...

Could Reading Fans buy Bearwood?

Apologies of this has been raised/discussed elsewhere so delete if necessary. There have been a few reports recently regarding a proposal to sell the Bearwood Training facilities in order to generate sufficient cash reserves to complete the remainder of the season without defaulting on payments and ...

Re: Reading FC Womens World

Some of those Spurs goals would not look out of place on a kids playground. So much for all the crap on the OS. It’s our cup final, we are all in this together, we will fight to the end. I had enough of that bollocks with the mens team. I would rather they say we are shit and have no chance of stay...

Re: Points Deduction AGAIN

With the embargo due to expire at the end of the season it is entirely appropriate for the EFL to REVIEW the status of penalties applied previously. That is all it is - a REVIEW. It does not mean any rules have been broken or any further penalties will be applied UNLESS that discover something as pa...

Re: Who is the mystery striker?

Ross Barkley - apparently he got carried away with all the money he was earning at Chelsea and lost his appetite for the game.

Re: Reading FC Womens World

It seems we may now be following the Coppell model (probably due to the lack of funds to enable us to compete with the 'big girls' in WSL1 for top class established players) and looking to recruit good young prospects from other leagues/countries. A Doyle and Long would do very nicely thank you! I ...

Too many sarcastic comments and put downs to others viewpo...
