windermereROYAL When they choose Port Vale over us you have to think he prefers life up north.

This is such an arrogant, stuck up mindless thing to say

Not a bad area around Stoke and Port Vale - however, not sure I would want to live there

Brogue Plenty of interest in him but his father has advised him to stay and not chase the big bucks as that will come in the future. He told him the best place for him for the time being is here, getting first team football.

Nice to hear

Sorry to be pedantic but we aren't playing Swindon Town; we are playing Ian Holloway's Swindon Town, that new team formed when a famous ex player/manager joins a team as their manager. (see also Frank Lampard's Coventry City, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle) and which is always referred to as such i...

Sutekh So, have Reading had a spectacular transfer window or not? Or do we need to wait for the season to be over before deciding?

I think a balanced view https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2025-26-analysis-opinion-reading-fc-royals/49954/unpacking-readings-summer-2025-transfer-window

I must say I have enjoyed reading this thread. At the end of the day, football is all about opinions and I can see that many people on here disagree about a lot of aspects of Saturday's match from individual player's performances to the team performance. I can't comment personally as I was only list...

rabidbee But if O'Mahony is out on international duty, who's going to score the goals?

Marriott, Ehibhatiomhan and if Brogue is right, another striker in the pipeline.

I think that was somewhat tongue-in-cheek....

Are we any clearer on when Paudie's due back?

Out for 3 weeks 3 weeks ago so likely at least another month yet.

Apparently training on grass

More so than bench sitting or U23s here. And at this point he's looking 4th choice behind O'Connor, Burns and Williams. But you need at least 4 CBs over a season and would be good for him to stay here as an understudy and get the odd runout. O'Connor, Burns, Williams and Ferguson would make 4, plus...

Although I'd love to see Ahmed get a chance, Abrefa has been our best player, no way he loses his place. Agree. Ahmed gets at least 1 more LC game, at least 3 Trophy games and at least 1FA Cup game. Plus, any games where Abrefa gets injured, or drastically loses form. He should get a solid 10 - 15 ...

Millsy Rather have a laminectomy.

Have had one of those.

Even though I'm curious, I'm not going to google that!

Absolutely. Kelvin has 12 goals and 3 assists in 52(25). Elliott has 2 goals and 5 assists in 29 (29) Kelvin's record is fine, though he needs to step it up a bit. Think the key difference is Elliott started slowly here and gradually improved as time went on (before his injury) whereas Kelvin start...

Hendo Olise nominated for a Ballon d'Or.

Wow - must be a first for an ex Royal

Would rather have Robert Louis

Pretty certain I got the whole article but I did have to edit out over 240 pages of HTML so might have cut something - if so, apologies.

Yes - looks like that's all of it - I was half way to doing what you did but then I saw you posted it so I stopped!

Brogue Ritchie and Cole done.

Skimming through Twitter, he looks a bit of a ‘character’ as well. Player you love playing for you but hate on the opposition. And a lot of Pompey fans seem to have wanted a loan from than a permanent move which is interesting. Although they said he didn't quite make the step up to Championship but...

ILoveMoonPig Is anyone here a Beatles fan? I've had a great idea for a song for Paddy.... Yellow Submarine

RG30 Shade gone to Burton Albion.

FFS. Beaten to a target by Burton. Couhig out, this is worse than Dai!

He was never a target, it was speculation.

Or just twatters clutching at straws....

Stranded

Whore Jackie Signed for Burton Albion.

Twitter mode activated

What, we can't even compete for Shade! This is an outrage!

Sure I hadn't heard of him until yesterday but seriously, I can't believe we've been outbid by Burton effing Albion!
