"In fourth was the curious case of Jaap Stam, who you might have thought warranted a bit more recognition for a third-placed finish with unfancied Reading. However, maybe it’s a sign that awareness of the expected goals principle is so widespread nowadays that many voters look beyond results a...

Maneki Neko how much is a day pass?

£6,99 I think. however, as some miracle has happened, and I've got tickets from the waiting list, I won't be finding out! Craven Cottage, here we come!

Buying a day pass for Sky, hope it works! Would have loved to go, but with only 2000 tickets, had no hope really.

So long as it's still competitive for Tuesday....

What Stam actually said (paraphrased): Still got a year left on his contract. Leaving not up to him. Enjoying his time here. If we don't go up this year, there's always next year. Don't want to think about moving on to a PL club, because it'snot really happening. (That's when he said 'Cross that br...

I fully expect, as a veteran of many European two-legged ties himself, he will be all about caution, and not conceding many in the away leg of the play-offs. Whether they'll succeed or not, is a different question. And there you go :D Stam on the two legs: "You need to go in with a different m...

Elm Park Kid I noticed that there are quite a few STHs who didn't book their seats. Waiting to see how we get on Saturday?

Not necessarily, mine is/was free as I moved seats.

17,000+ home tickets sold as of lunchtime

One website I found interesting was experimental361, while I did find his statistics interesting, what I found more interesting was how much of an anomaly Reading were this season in his model, he basically spent the whole season trying to explain it and expecting us to fade away, this is the last ...

Tickets secured , not a mental queue at Mad Stad according to our mate how got 5 tickets for us, queued for about an hour but mainly due to slow staff , ticket office were very strict on points, good luck to everybody trying to get tickets Genuinely curious, not having a go or anything - but why do...

I can't have Illori starting, still not 100% convinced and looks so one footed. Agree with yesterdays shape but if McCleary is fit it will cause a dliemna for Jaap. Would go: Al Habsi Gunter McShane Moore Blackett Obita Kelly Williams Evans Beerens Kerm Mendes looked good yesterday but can't be sta...

CountryRoyal That we didn't finish the season with a minus goal difference for the lolz.

Oh well, I'll get over it. URZZZZ.

Huddersfield managed it!!! -2

I'd suggest that the club attempting to sell home south stand tickets for the Wigan game means they're hoping our fans will be interested in getting involved in the playoffs The difference being of course that they knew Wigan wouldn't take them up. Which isn't likely to the case with the play-off g...

Looks like a bit of an exodus at Norwich this summer, likely based on wages. If that's the case then maybe a raid on a few stars if we go up? Jerome, Ruddy and Howson, perhaps? Is Ruddy really an upgrade on alHabsi? We've got some decent goalkeeping prospects coming through too. What about Steven N...

Wednesday, Fulham, Leeds and Brentford played (as far as I know) their full-strength teams against us, as did Newcastle. Who's to say what a club's full strength team is. Maybe Wagner wanted to see how some fringe squad players performed in a league game, which would help hime make up his mind who ...

If ever there was a game to give Watson a run-out - surely this is it? Give Jaakkola a game as well.

Jaakkola

Watson, Moore (c), Ilori, Obita

Kelly, Evans, Swift

Meite, Mendes, Beerens

Subs AAH, Gunter, Oxford, Grabban, Mutch, Williams, Popa

The club need to be a bit more helpful with updates on our youth prospects. Do you know anything about Danny Loader? I remember the sun did an article last summer naming him along with players like Ryan Sessegnon as hot prospects has he looked any good? I'd prefer if it was all kept low-key - the l...

In fairness, Stam agreed we played poorly yesterday. Specifically to the match I didn't think we were brace enough at times. Blackett was getting some abuse for misplaced passes, but he was the only one picking up the ball and driving forward from the back 4. Gunter I thought had a shocker, and Moo...
