Interestingly, I'd say the loan players were part of the reason we struggled so much at the start of the season. It's noticeable how much better we were when DC basically fucked them all off and only played 1 or 2.

Here's the thing - and I know you said you're not coming back, that is a shame because I think this place would be better with your Reading hat on - some of us have never been in administration. I'm not anti-Reading, I'm anti-clubs beating the system. We live within our means, always have done...

What happened this season: We didn't score for the first 11 league games (a new Football League record) then went on a playoff level of form before running out of steam in the last couple of months. What went well: We appointed Darrell Clarke. That's about it. What went badly: Where do I...

I know it's futile given our position, but for me Blackburn and Birmingham are the dream. Birmingham due to proximity - easy away day. Blackburn because I have a lot of family who support them so the games would be epic days out. As I said though, it isn't going to matter because we get to...

Yeah but misery does enjoy company, so your players may well drag Cambridge down to their level. That's my hope anyway. I do wonder if Cambridge are losing whether Posh might take their foot off the gas tomorrow night. Wishful thinking? Absolutely!!

I'm willing to bet everything I own on the fact that Sam Smith hasn't returned to Reading because he used to play in their academy. I've seen some rubbish spouted, but this is right up there. I note you conveniently ignored Laker's point about Harvey Knibbs as well. I suppose he's got a...

I don't think I've ever been so angry with a player as I was Liam Sercombe after that second goal. It was criminal defending.

We've got to get through Posh first - I know they're resting their first team, but our players are out on their feet. We're playing a 50% fit Matty Taylor because we have no other fit forwards, apart from Joe Nuttall - a player who couldn't get into the starting 11 of a team in the Conference...

The archetypal game of two halves today. We were as good as we have been all season in the first half and didn't deserve to be pegged back, as good as Taylor's goal was. He really is a cock though isn't he, cupping his ears to fans who didn't even know who he was let alone didn't give him...

He won't be let go by us - he's only going if he walks. And I'll have you know, we won our first game in October :D

The board know they need to do all they can to keep him. At the moment, he's the only thing they've got right since Mickey Duff went two years ago (that's a bit harsh on the Wade appointment given last season, but the point stands really). If they let him go, they really will alienate a huge...

If you believe the outcry on social media, after last nights Shareholder's and Fan's forum disaster it now looks almost certain that Darrell Clarke will be leaving at the season's end. I don't buy into this myself, but I get the concern. Ultimately, the chairman was asked if we had a plan...

Typical Tory mentality - get to the top then pull the ladder up

That's £70 less than mine at Whaddon Road this season, and I doubt ours will reduce if we drop to L2

4 days after. This is the thing that sticks in the craw more than anything else. Everyone can see it's just gluttony on the part of the big clubs but no-one in power is prepared to stand up to them. I agree about the comments about Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford. It was only a few weeks...

My cousin is a huge fan of The Everest on Portland Street. So much so, he had his wedding reception there.

Basically hoping Lincoln are feeling the pressure a bit and we can nick something. I'm certainly not holding my breath though.

You should see some of the ones that have gone against us this season...

Apart from the bungs when he was at Boston, I've never had too much of an issue with Evans. Raynor is a c*** though.

Your best bet is to go into town to be honest. Where there used to be shit loads of pubs within Whaddon, there's only a couple left and they're not great. For real ale, your best place is probably The Kemble and Sandford Park Alehouse (though I must admit I've never been in them). If you're...
