No idea, do you? The trade off is the revenue they might generate through in game activities via fans' devices I believe it's becoming a thing in sports stadia Surely the easiest way to achieve good internet connectivity is for them to have 4g boosters to increase the bandwidth available. As most o...

On to Swansea "reserves" on Tuesday then - and if Reading's "reserve" team perform well there are going to be some headaches for Stam over team selection before Hull on Saturday. I admire your optimism Sutekh but I'm pretty sure it will make no difference at all and Stam will[i]...

Bacuna? You mean the guy who hasn't scored more than 1 league goal for 3 seasons? The guy who's never scored more than 5 in one season outside of Holland? That guy? No, he hasn't demonstrated he's a 5-10 guy. The others, yes. Fair enough. Aluko is not a fair comparison thou because if you're talkin...

I remember a young Ralph being the Sports reporter on BFBS Germany many years ago. Very sad to hear if his premature death.

Snowflake Royal Not many nuclear bunkers to convert into massive shopping centres here.

What's this, Scotch mist?

Snowflake said 'not many', that doesn't mean 'none'. So, no, it is not scotch mist.

Did we get something for Gylfi then? Probably calculating this wrong but my workings are showing we should've got £1,125,000 from the Gylfi sale to Everton I've always wondered whether we had a sell-on for Gylfi even though there's been no evidence to suggest we have (unlike Antonio who i'm convinc...

TBH, think a bit too much is made of Yann's age generally. No real reason if you can do the job he did last year at 35 he can't at 36. Clearly looks after himself, and sports science etc is so good nowadays Doing a job isn't enough. If the aim is promotion. If the job is 'do what we need to get pro...

It seems with Stam though that outside of his defence he's just interested in "good football players". Aka midfielders who can play anywhere. Clearly there was money to be spent this window and he didn't get anyone in, so I can only imagine he knows what he's doing. After the near miracle...

*Interesting only to those who regard random numbers as more significant than expert opinions. Might be *interesting to see how whoscored ranked our entire team last year in comparison to how we did. They're not random numbers. They're useful and objective data that don't tell the whole story. As f...

The Times has Moore as its Championship Player of the Week, and also has both him and Gunter in the Championship team of the week

Only managed to watch the second half but have some notes anyway. A question for anyone. A Birmingham player pushed rather obviously (Blackett?) Who was shield the ball out for a goal kick into the ball. How was that not a foul? He was essentially barged into and a corner was given. Possibly a refe...

Oh well. It was good while it lasted. BBC seems to have realised that it had forgotten to block the transmission of our commentary on iPlayer or the interweb. Got to half time and then off it went.

Well that was good while it lasted. It seems like the BBC has just realised that it hadn't blocked the iPlayer transmission of our games. Got to half time and now lost the programme, it is back to the old thing where they have a loop telling you that this programme is not available for licensing or ...

Off the pitch: Millwall fan in the home end celebrating a goal...and no one doing anything about it Surely this is a good thing? Indeed it is. If the Millwall fan didn't deliberately wind up the home fans then just let it go. I have to confess that I would not openly celebrate if I was in the oppos...

As to the price of our targets going up as the end of the window approaches, that is arguable. If the selling club wants to lose the player then they could also be keen to see the transaction take place to offload a liability. Holding out for a few extra days allows them to test the market and see i...

Just in case no-one else has mentioned it, I think we need some good old fashioned Berkshire home cooking from days of yore.

I guess you really don't understand the full implications and shortcomings of stats & figures? Oh I think I do. I used to teach stats. Jesus - note to self: don't ever sit in the West Stand for fear of meeting this loser Oh deary me. You are a bit out of touch aren't you. My ST was in the East ...

Davezk It was Sidwell

Norwood was a real gent following his move.

Stats and figures are one thing... overall performances and effort are another. I has been clear to me that Swift in particular looks jaded, his effort has been lacking. He has ability and that is clear to see, yet his application is poor. Evans less so, he demonstrates little to suggest he has any...

True.... but Kelly is only 21 and shows much more in terms of presence, effort and overall ability. :roll: Don't let the fact Kelly is 'one of our own' cloud your judgement. All 3 midfielders have shown that they have great potential, but to suggest Kelly is miles ahead of them is laughable. To put...
