Current state of ground





Must admit, I thought Young would be on the bench.

Assume there is no danger of this being postponed due to weather today? Unless anyone has heard otherwise No FL games have been called as yet but 3 games have gone in the National League (games at Brackley, Gateshead and Woking). The Woking game falling foul of the conditions would suggest there is...

The Chronicle website is unfuckingreadable All local news websites are, well, most ‘news’ websites are I can’t be bothered with the hassle I’m amazed anyone bothers and surely no one clicks their bl00dy advert links I have no issue with their site, it’s perfectly readable and I don’t find the adver...

U 21’s line-up Rhone Duah Sackey Osho Abrefa Rinomhota Camara Coke-Miles-Smith Jones Hicks Evans SUBS Welland Harrison Cliff Howard Okine-Peters Great to see Andy getting his half, hope he does well and looks more than ready to get into the 1st team. Seems Camara and Abrefa have been returned, pres...

About time they were caught up with. That shenanigans in the mid 00s, then more naughties and weaseling out of PL punishment. Thoughts with Gary at this difficult time. Looking good for Reading next season with league games against Sheff Wed, Norwich, Ox, Portsmouth Blackburn and now Leicester look...

SouthDownsRoyal What does a full time kit manager do?

Ensures it’s taken to where the club is playing
Lays it out nicely in the changing room before a game
Picks up from wherever it’s been thrown after a game
Washes it
Provides annual reviews
Provides kit counselling where needed

Sounds like his head might be in the same place that Michail Antonio's was when he went on loan from us to Sheffield Wednesday - desperate to play and make an impression, so dropping down a couple of divisions to somewhere he knows he can get good game and hopefully contribute to a team looking for...

Yeah, I don’t get the Andy Hughes hate at all. And we did know what his best position was. In 02/03 we played 4-5-1 with Forster up front. Hughes was the most advanced midfielder with license to roam and make runs into the box. He had an excellent season. We just never played that formation much ag...

I was wondering the other day about whether they could introduce a rule where goalkeepers could handle the ball in both boxes, not just their own. oppo keeper obv couldn't throw it directly into the goal though. Corner would come in and you'd have both keeper in there trying to catch it. Visions of...

windermereROYAL Actually I`d like to see a new rule introduced for corner kicks where no player is allowed inside the 6 yard box until the corner is taken, the goalkeepers are in a no win situation, they have nowhere to go.
Not sure it`ll happen but it should.

This.

Looks like only the second League one match for the ref (apparently younger brother of Everton's Leighton Baines) Hope he is not another Mug referee, too weak to handle the Wimbledon players constant Shit housing. Really hope we beat these after their appalling antics in the home game. This is his ...

Leam has advised the Chronic that he hopes to have Andy playing a half for the 21s on Saturday.

bloody Volvo driver Let’s not forget ex Twyford Comets Steve Sneddon’s shenanigans holding his face like someone had shot with him a 12 bore in the home game in August.

Nice to remind him what him shister he is.

Apparently another Reading Academy product

Delboy What about Daniel !

Leg injury v Exeter, unspecified how long out but likely to be weeks at best.

Leicester deducted six points for PSR breaches: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5y31xk1zx0o Leaves them above the relegation zone on goal difference. They should be strong enough to stay up, but certainly keeps/puts them in the relegation picture. They appear to have turned into a co...

I think part of the problem with Andy Hughes was that he was played out of position a lot. although I don't think he knew what his best position was and was happy to play where and how the manager needed him. When they had no left backs, he put his hand up and said he'd played a few games there onc...
