I noticed a couple of mentions for JVDB......How the hell do people get to that conclusion. He was one of the main reasons we finished third. I liked him a lot......Always committed and worked hard. Gave us a bit of bite at the back and although I preferred him as a DMF he wasn't as bad at CB as pe...

Several are mentioned here already but there were quite a few videos of full home games in 86-88 or thereabouts. Don't own any myself. Of away games, the only one I remember was Sheffield United away from October 1986. It was about 60 minutes. Was that the 3-0 down, and we drew 3-3 game at Bramall ...

Personally I’d be happy with a lovely mid table no alarms and no surprises end to the season Mr Optimist? Mr Disgrace more like. Nice one! What was a disgrace was fans booing when Olise made an error letting the ball bounce and getting on a promising young kids back, and our loyal backbone of suppo...

leon Come on Reading. The whole of the league is willing us on to beat the most hated club in English football.

Salford?

MK Dongs?

Personally I’d be happy with a lovely mid table no alarms and no surprises end to the season after the last few years. Maybe if we could just knacker up Brentford’s attempts at promotion too, I’d be perfectly okay with that.

Definitely played alright. Not our best display but we were easily good enough to win today in poor conditions to play football. Puscas looked a lot better with more players around him. Wednesday were also tosh so let's not get carried away. Still a great result though! My 4th visit to Hillsborough...

They're overcharging then :? Just watch the game with your eyes squinted and imagine you are watching Chris Waddle with his dodgy barnet gliding gracefully across the Hillsboro pitch just like the home fans have been doing for the last 20+years because that, and the ticket prices, are the closest t...

Premier league club so we should expect Premier League prices to get in. They're overcharging then :?

I agree completely with Bowen’s no-risk approach. He truly believes we have a chance of the playoffs. Although I won’t be too happy if he starts Burley and Osho in the replay now we are without Miazga and McIntyre - he surely has to bring in either one of Moore or Morrison for experience? I hear wh...

I'm sorry but if we are serious about our play off push we need to be beating tinpot teams like Forest. I mean Grabban is their most threatening player ffs. Great assist/shot from Ameobi for their goal. Their keeper really got revenge on us too. He failed narrowly to give us a goal in the first hal...

WestYorksRoyal What is the combined length of time Forest have led us for in these matches? 2 minutes?

Not bad by Division 3 Reading against the European champions.

Prior to the sale, Derby had the stadium listed as an asset worth £40m, and the "independent" valuation of £80m was done by a company which is a subsidiary of another company owned by Mel Morris. Nothing dodgy there. Well I guess if Mel is willing to pay £80m for it then that must be what...

I think John means permanently closed. I walked along the Lytham Road and half the shops and pubs were closed, including The Gavel, where I was hoping to have a pre match Spoons visit. Closed in August apparently and sold off by Spoons two years before that. There were a lot of Indian and Chinese ta...

On the Shane Long thing, I'm not sure he cares as much about us as we care about him. When I met him and mentioned I am a Reading fan he just said "yeah?". Of course he might have just not been interested in me.. I get that, and I think you could be right, it means one thing to a fan of a...

Who even are Reading anyway? It's the sort of place you forget has a football team. He’s not wrong, but that’s a bit rich coming from Blackpool. I let comments like that wash over me. I take pride in being the scruffy underdog club, it makes it even sweeter when you stick a spanner in the spokes of...

My abiding thought coming out afterwards was if we were to return to the 3rd division any time soon, and the big money so called established Championship level players we had deserted like rats from a sinking ship and we had to play a load of our kids I don5 think we’d be in too much danger of sinki...

The Simon Cup was always a bag of dirt, a competition invented to fill the gap of European football at the time that no-one took seriously until it got to semi final stage, particularly for lower end Division 2 clubs like Reading, where it offered a rare chance to play at Wembley, when it still mean...

WoodleyRoyal Tranmere v Watford OFF only 1 hour down the road

Their pitch has been a nightmare for months now so that doesn’t surprise me.

If our game gets called off but AFC Fylde’s doesn’t, maybe I’ll see some of you there later instead!
