    Saturday 8 March fixtures

    Not working for me on mobile either since last Wednesday. I could come on, click on a couple of threads, get the same error message others have described, and then the next time I clicked on a thread it would time out and I wouldn't be able to get back on for about an hour before the same...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    The owners had very much made a conscious decision to try and change the style of football, believing it would help us attract better players, which is why they went over the DoF to appoint Monk themselves (supposedly). I'd be delighted if they've seen sense and realised that is absolutely...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    He didn't sign Loft in his defence, although he's probably responsible for a couple of the other duffers in the squad. The guy who signed Loft was sacked ("mutual agreement") the other day.

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    Monk gone. It was obvious after he'd been here for a week it was never going to work. It was still obvious after his first vote of confidence, and it was obvious to everyone except the board after the second vote of confidence at the start of January, and not acting then is the one that has...

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    I don't, at all, we're punching above where we should be, my point is we are as high as we can be, we've "done it", so then what.... It's just a change in mindset after 25 years of always having somewhere higher to go, as I said I'm sure it'll become normal after time, we've just not been at...

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    Yup, first game 95, 40+ games a season since 2004 save for a couple of seasons pre-covid living in Canada. They were really shit, but because of where we were there was always the possibility of tangible improvement. We'd also basically had next to no big games/wins for 20 years, so there was...

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    I have never been more apathetic, missed Reading on NYD as I just couldn't be bothered, been a long long time since I've been in the country and chosen not to go to a home game. Missing the next 3 aways at least, was a real struggle making myself go today, tbh only really did as I assumed my...

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    Yes, I think we were 8 adrift with 9 to play, we were much later in the year than this with people screaming "play the youth team!" and we managed to survive. Having said that, this team is much worse, this manager is much worse, and this does feel much more hopeless. All the more reason why...

    Saturday 14 December fixtures

    I've slagged Monk off before so only fair that i give him credit when it goes well, he absolutely nailed it today and his subs were spot on. A very well earned point, gives some optimism ahead of a tough and critical few games in the next few weeks.

    Bristol Street Motors Trophy 2024/25

    Out for another year, thank fuck.

    FA Cup 2024/25

    I had people today saying "fuck Peterborough" for their game being moved to Thursday night, a microcosm of the problem in this country, we roll over and don't stand up for ourselves nor stand together when others get fucked over, it's why our ticket prices are so high and our kickoff times so...

    Tues 3rd/Weds 4th December fixtures

    The bar is quite low, but I hope you can push it lower.... We are just not good enough. I've spewed this in multiple forums now, but the last two seasons when we've struggled it's felt like we had enough ability to do better and just weren't getting it out, and ultimately we did. This year the...

    Tues 3rd/Weds 4th December fixtures

    Is there anywhere to park for Reading that isn't a total rip off and isn't going to take an hour to get out of after the game?

    Tuesday 26 November fixtures

    We're extremely unlikely to score (and if we do then it's likely going to have gone in off a Bolton player), so the question is can we keep out Bolton for 90 minutes, and the answer to that is probably not.

    Fair enough, I guess it's not the live at the time thing though?

    FA Cup 2024/25

    It hasn't been the highlights show for a few years, that used to be 8 games at the same time, they're moved now for international TV coverage so you can't even watch it legally in this country, we had the same at Curzon the other year.

    Bristol Street Motors Trophy 2024/25

    Attendances in this competition have definitely gone up the last couple of years, Premier League knew apathy/ignorance would win eventually if they just held out long enough, still bemuses me nearly 10 years later that any right-minded lower league fan would go to these games, but given the lack...

    14th - 16th September Fixtures.

    I don't think we played that badly today, the subs killed us at various times though. We were in control then Andrew goes down and goes off, O'Riordan comes on and gets sucked in to concede the first. We then inexplicably take Barton off, then even more inexplicably take Longelo off for fucking...

    14th - 16th September Fixtures.

    Mansfield fans are there any pubs that will be open 10.30/11 that will let away fans in?

    14th - 16th September Fixtures.

    Loss. We will concede at least one very stupid goal. We will probably be behind inside 20 minutes. We won't start playing with any sort of purpose until we're at least 2 goals down.
