Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

Club news - Steve Coppell will be in attendance. I really do feel the takeover is or has happened There was a fans event at the Turtle last Sunday which he was guest at and he did say he was toying with the idea of attending. Brian McDermott also joining Tim Dellor on commentary :? :shock: Just nee...

Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

I remember Sir John on the pitch announcing the sale of the club. He didn't get very far before he was drowned out by applause, thanking him for all he'd done for the club. Very emotional. Even if it's announced before hand, if Couhig were to come on the pitch to introduce himself, that would be an...

The sh1thousery involved in Everton fans switching out a whole load of red flares with blue ones in amongst the Liverpool title celebrations is absolute top drawer https://preview.redd.it/blue-flares-lit-outside-anfield-after-an-everton-fan-sold-v0-9pguipncjexe1.jpeg?width=1080&crop=smart&a...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 24/25

Arsenal vs PSG Mindnumbingly dull. My dead Great Grandmother had more life in her than the Arsenal crowd who barely made a noise. It was hard to watch the game as it was endlessly stopped by the ref, with some really odd decisioons. The worst of which was a so-called foul that Saka committed on the...

Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

Apologies if I missed it, but no-one seems to have commented on the club’s message to fans yesterday. I wonder what prompted it - the EFL, the police, STAR? It did strike me as an indication that the sale won’t have completed before Saturday’s game, but I suppose it could apply equally in the event...

Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

The Times are reporting the Premier League advised the EFL to not sanction Dai's takeover in 2017 and they were told he'd have to sell if Reading were promoted to the Premier League. How would the PL know anything about the deal, its out of their jurisdiction, they wouldn’t be involved. And the FL ...

Re: Ex Players

Looking it up, perhaps a bit harsh on our signings. Left in 2020/21 (That long ago!?) Transfers in Laurent, Ejaria (turned out a bit disastrously, but hard to predict), Camara, Onen, Luzon Loans in Gibson, Semedo, Esteves So only really Ejaria competing for Holsgrove's position. Wiki has Holsgrove ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

The club's official channel did a reel today from the home game v Barnsley in 2010 when we had a gazillion chances, missed them all, had Khizanishvili sent off after an hour and then won 3-0 with all the goals in the last five* minutes *ish Good times and with 10 men too! Keep remembering that game...

Re: Football stats

Winston Biscuit Titles won, and % of titles won in that country overall:

Benfica 38 - 42.4%
Real Madrid 36 - 38.7%
Ajax 29 - 33%
Juventus 36 - 30%
Bayern 33 - 29.5%
Man Utd 20 - 15.9%
Liverpool 20 - 15.9%


Presume Rangers and Celtic are both in the 40% range too.

Re: The Non - League thread

Farsley Celtic have had a rough season! Relegated from NLN after spending the season sharing at Buxton. Started ripping up their pitch last summer to replace with a 4G pitch but owners started running out of money and the club is now in a right state. Have been running appeals for funds to see the s...

Re: Ups & Downs 24/25

I think Preston will be the 3rd team to go down. Sheff Utd likely to finish on 92 pts. Will that be a record high for not finishing in the top 2? So what happens if Preston get relegated and Bristol City get promoted? Does The Championship hibernate for a year? The kingdom and the Tower of London w...

Ark Royal Just voted for mine: Lewis Wing's goal vs Wrexham. Wonderful team move finished with a Wing thunderbastard; Sam Smith's beauty vs Cambridge a distant second.

Re: why don't more people from Ethnic Minorities support Reading?

I reckon it's a mix of cultural influences and old prejudices about the makeup of football crowds. I also wonder if, that with the internet being an obvious point of entry, people like Arsenal Fans TV or Mark Goldbridge give the misguided impression that all football fans are a bunch of screaming, ...

Re: why don't more people from Ethnic Minorities support Reading?

With the exception of Arsenal and Crystal Palace I think every club in the country struggles with this. Tottenham is a very BAME heavy community, and the crowd is extremely white, as white as Reading's. Whereas the direct neighbourhoods around Highbury & Islington & Finsbury Park are mostly...
