Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Nope, strongest team for me - going into the summer on a win feels important to me - if we don't win, then we are 3 without a win since Rovers - fed up of us getting over a line (when we do) and immediately failing to accumulate any more points. Agreed, plus I think the players who have saved us de...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Not sure about the semis but remember us playing Bayern II at Wycombe and losing 1-0. Thought that was at the Madejski? Nopp - Adams Park: https://www.google.com/search?q=reading+u23+v+bayern+munich+II&rlz=1C1GCEA_enDE948DE948&oq=reading+u2&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggBEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg5MgYIAR...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Don't know what the rules are, but we've secured a play-off spot in Premier League 2 and can qualify for the Premier League International Cup with a win over Man City on Monday(?). The International Cup would give our U21s a minimum of four matches against foreign opposition. PSV have participated ...

Re: Rival Watch

Barnsley sack boss Collins with one game remaining Barnsley Football Club can confirm the departure of Head Coach Neill Collins. Collins was appointed last summer and despite several positive spells throughout the season, recent results have left the board of directors feeling that a change is need...

Re: Would you lose against Blackpool to deny Oxford the play-offs?

From Despair To Where? It would be a happy by product of losing but I want us to end this of all seasons on a high, particularly at home.

Re: Goal of the Season

Kelvin v Cambridge. Yeah, same. The shot itself is on a par with a lot of the best strikes. What makes it is the first touch from a crisp pass that creates the space to make shot, catching the defence unawares. Beautiful. Wing vs Port Vale second, because he's so far out and being challenged. Azeez...

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

4) Improve matchday experience Bring back programmes, involve local suppliers, get rid of Compass and their appalling food. Think of initiatives to make matchday more enjoyable and bring fans back. In addition to this point, I'd say basic stadium maintenance should be included in that list. Things ...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

can I throw in another interesting law of the game that people often don't know? If a game goes to a penalty shoot out and one of the teams has had a red card during the match, the other team has to nominate a player that is excluded from the shoot out so that in case it goes way into sudden death ...

I had forgotten that it's this time of the season you get headlines of 'x ruled out for season', which means they are out for 2 weeks. Also x hasn't scored for 5 months or x haven't won a game for 5 months, but includes the summer break and weeks where only 1 game, or no game has been played and ac...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Whilst true, I also very much doubt that any catering company knowing the issues with payment Compass have experienced would enter into and happily announce a partnership with the club without some kind of confirmation that the financial situation at the club is about to markedly improve.

Re: £397K on agents fee

Reading spent the second-highest amount on agent fees (league One) in the last 12 months only Derby spent more than £434k I am rather surprised by this given all of our spending restrictions anyone. Is this needs must, or do we deserve less sympathy than we thought? Are you? I’d have thought it was...
