As squibs go, it seems to have been damp. Should have talked to SBWD first!

I wonder if the game might be called off? The storm overnight and tomorrow looks very blustery... Only likely if there is a health and safety concern, such as the roof of a stand might blow off. If bluster was a cause of postponement, Steve Evans would have gone a whole season without a game taking...

Whatever.

After Marriott scored, I was hoping Lane would get one so I could say it’s been their best performance since Itchycoo Park.

Times have changed. I went to the one nil defeat at the Manor Ground in about 1976 at Christmas. We took three coaches, and no one made a sound. IIRC we were put on a terrace, opposite the London road end, with loads of ( peaceful) home fans. Ditto Brentford (2-2) around the same time. After we got...

I have been wracking my brains trying to think of a song that goes with Penny Lane. This is the best l can manage but if anyone out there can come up with something better which shouldn’t be too difficult please do. Paddy Lane is in my heart and in my soul, When he shoots he always scores a goal, H...

Would it be fair to say that Dellor’s fall-out with Brendan Rodgers is the reason he is somewhat less confrontational than we might hope? I can’t imagine that didn’t have some consequences.

Wasn’t there a derogatory comment from Couhig a few weeks ago that sounded as if was directed at Tim Dellor? It really is an indictment of Dellor and Williams that they’ve not had a peep out of a seemingly media-friendly new owner…

I see that City fans are saying Palace cheated. How many offences are City charged with?

Looked to me like Henderson was off his line for the penalty save. Dunno why they didn't scrutinise that in HT analysis, or at any stage so far. (Well, I was on ITV, maybe BBC did.) I went to empty my bladder at HT, but I don’t think the BBC mentioned it. Like you, RR, I thought he was a bit off hi...

Not everyone walks at the same speed. Sounds like it’s about a mile.

Deleting the bit in the first brackets, making this slightly easier to read: "The revised Local Plan should not allocate land for housing or other uses which increases the population within the DEPZ (including significant employment development or the enlargement of the Madejski Stadium for exa...

Yesterday was also the 24th anniversary of the play-off first leg away to Wigan. I know this because I had a prior engagement that day!

I spent far too long yesterday trying to find who has the second worst record in the play-offs (i.e. the most unsuccessful campaigns without ever winning promotion). Eventually gave up, but I am wondering whether, if Sheffield U finally break their hoodoo - will we have a new record to add to our ta...

I want Coventry to go up. I quite like Lampard and I think Coventry deserve a chance in the Premier League. They've been through a lot of rubbish over recent years Agreed. Sheffield U and Sunderland have had enough chances. I remember Coventry getting promoted to the top flight in the first season ...

I thought much the same. Considerably faster pace, higher levels of skill, highly entertaining game. Great to see City blow their chance, as they usually do. My least favourite team in the EFL. Well, you'll be delighted that former Royal Rob Dickie is the biggest villain in blowing it for City with...

Good point. What a farce. And to think the EFL were worried about Reading undermining the integrity of the league.

Turns out Mike Gow has nothing to do with the EFL, he is some kind of social media user with a special interest in Reading FC (aren’t we all?). So why was he wearing an Everton shirt?

Do they still record C1871 on CCTV?
