Bolton 4 Reading 0.

or match abandoned.

And that's me officially done with this process. I'm going to avoid Reading Twitter like the plague and just get on with life - been getting a lot more involved in rugby over here of late, so can see a lot of my focus being on that and whilst I'm not walking away, the number of fcuks I now have are ...

Rumours circulating on Twitter (X) that the Couhig takeover had stalled as a bigger bid has been tabled by (depending on the new bunch of ITKs) Kia Joorabchian or some company with Blue in the title - https://x.com/BradSRay/status/1836101903236645344?t=LpOXyw_LSgcvNc_wlRNKiw&s=19 https://x.com/...

So, if that report is accurate and The Athletic is normally pretty solid - then we are in a prolonged period again of treading water until Dai decides to do something, or a continued slow decay if he doesn't.

In other words, the status quo.

Pepe the Horseman Wtf has happened to Bolton? Best team we played last season.

Given our record there, fully expect a defeat, probably heavy at the weekend.

Why is it we play badly and lose one game and people are talking like the takeover is suddenly dead ffs? Couhig was watching, thinks we're shit and has lost interest. That's what I heard. I know you`re taking the piss but he wasn`t there yesterday for whatever reason. Most likely that he lives in t...

The number of qualification places that CONMEBOL receive quite is ludicrous really, no other federation gets any where near the percentage of qualifying places that the South Americans do. IMO they should have their places cut and those places given to other federations. Still makes more sense then...

As it is now a Thursday tradition I'd like to say that my sources, my mates nieces dads iguana works at the megastore, say the takeover is extremely close and everyone needs to keep an eye on social media for an announcement. #itk Hang on - your mate's niece's Dad doesn't even have an iguana! What ...

Elm Park Kid I can confrim that i'm officially clueless at the moment. No one seems to know what's going on.

That's either good news, or bad news. Or not news at all.

They should, but they won't. If they are sensible they simply switch the number of qualifiers with CONCACAF for the next WC - CONCACAF has 3 automatic qualifiers this time in US, Canada and Mexico - they have 3 qualifying spots and 2 play-off spots. If swapped would mean the remaining 7 South Ameri...

I like the Nations League.

Though I mainly watch the games involving the minnows - as I'm cool like that.

It's even more ridiculous in 2030, where, 'to commemorate 100 years of the FIFA World Cup', Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay qualify automatically all for the sake of the first three games of the tournament, which will involves those teams, played in their home stadiums, before the event moves to it...

Victor Moses returns to English football signing for Luton.

We seem to enjoy winning home games 2-0 at the mo, so another 2-0 - Campbell on debut and a returning Knibbs off the bench.

Never really sure how good these Middle East teams are meant to be - but I wouldn't have predicted the Aussies losing at home to Bahrain. I'd forgotten that this next World Cup is expanded to 48 teams. It's going to be really hard not to qualify - but I guess quite cool to (hopefully) see some 'new...

San Marino and Liechenstein are the fifth and sixth smallest countries in the world by land area - they have a combined land mass of just 86 square miles. Liechtenstein now on a run of 40 games without a win (5 draws in that run). Their last win was a 2-1 victory in Luxembourg on 7 October 2020. Li...

What James wrote in the Chronic about it Rob Couhig seeing more of #rdguk before even buying it than Dai Yongge has in seven years. Not expecting any official word today but hopefully things develop in the coming days #readingfc So nothing, he wrote some words but they don't say anything. Back to w...

Seriously it must be very imminent....so the twitter ITK's from first thing may be right. I don't think RC would post pics in the PT if that was not the case.....and it looks like James Earnshaw took the photos. It’s nice to see RC making an effort to engage with the fans, but I don’t see this as a...

Have NGW, Hector and Waghorn all got snapped up, because they were all only just mentioned as being at a PFA training camp for players without a club. Can anyone with time/knowledge add ages and positions to the list? Useful to know your full backs from your CBs and your RBs from your LBs etc Brand...

Twitter is in absolute meltdown this afternoon. Jesus. It's strangely entertaining and crazy how it happens every few days. Account #1 says it might be today Account #2 say announcement at midday No announcement Everyone loses their sh*t completely forgetting that this is about the 10th time that h...
