🚨 Why @ITVSport should hang their heads in shame. Football outside of the Championship does exist, even on international weekends. Those weekends are when League 1 & 2 should be celebrated & placed in the spotlight, not hidden away like an inconvenience. #EFL #EFLLeagueOne

Is it too soon to be thinking about changing managers? Let’s look at the arguments for backing or sacking the gaffer.

No league action this weekend but we will welcome @QPRWFC in a friendly at Arbour Park. Free entry, we’d love to see as many Royals fans along to support 👊

absolutely fine for him to be positive and highlight good things. being hard to beat is commendable. but when there's also no proper acknowledgement of just how far off we are atm, it's really concerning. it's about way more than just "fine tuning" things
💬 Noel Hunt after being asked about starting a run of results at Cardiff City this weekend: “We are on a run, we’ve been beaten one in eight it’s important we just fine tune things.” Are we missing something? #readingfc

London is portrayed as a dystopian hellhole of lawlessness and no-go zones by people who have never set foot in it. A narrative turbo-charged by social media disinformation designed to create fear, division and hate (while ignoring actual issues of affordability & absenteeism).
London murders have fallen to 89 in the last 12 months. The lowest rate on record.

My favorite D’Angelo anecdote is that he was so obsessed with Red Dead Redemption that he not only wrote a song for RDR2 but playtested it constantly and all the time

do we "guide people towards sacking Hunt"? #ReadingFC Ben, Ross and I agree Hunt should go, and explain why. everyone else can make up their own mind also disagree about Twitter's users. it's a much more open, diverse space than you get elsewhere (eg Hob Nob lol)

"I thought we were a little bit better than last week in terms of structure - in the second half especially. We had enough chances to win the game." #ReadingFC

i'd usually love a non-league team but, after the last few years... yeah best not
Reading are ball no. 3️⃣8️⃣ in Monday’s FA Cup first round draw, live on TNT Sport from 18:40. Aldershot Town and Slough Town both in the hat, with 8th tier Maldon & Tiptree the lowest ranked side left 🎩 #readingfc

Ben and Ross record the next episode of the pod tomorrow. Where are you at with the on-field vibe? Can the players turn it around? What are your expectations for #ReadingFC's game at Cardiff City? Let us know your thoughts.

#ReadingFC fans thinking Noel Hunt should leave are apparently a "very small minority" and "a couple of tiles short of a full roof". And to think people don't take Tim Dellor seriously.

The Royals’ underwhelming 1-1 draw at Exeter City bore familiar, uninspiring hallmarks.

in the last 4, #ReadingFC have played: - an u21 team down to 10 men for almost half the match - middling side, poor on the road - League Two reserves - bluntest side we've faced in the league all season ...and not put in a convincing attacking performance against any of them
