Would it be fair to say that Dellor’s fall-out with Brendan Rodgers is the reason he is somewhat less confrontational than we might hope? I can’t imagine that didn’t have some consequences.

Wasn’t there a derogatory comment from Couhig a few weeks ago that sounded as if was directed at Tim Dellor? It really is an indictment of Dellor and Williams that they’ve not had a peep out of a seemingly media-friendly new owner…

I see that City fans are saying Palace cheated. How many offences are City charged with?

Looked to me like Henderson was off his line for the penalty save. Dunno why they didn't scrutinise that in HT analysis, or at any stage so far. (Well, I was on ITV, maybe BBC did.) I went to empty my bladder at HT, but I don’t think the BBC mentioned it. Like you, RR, I thought he was a bit off hi...

Not everyone walks at the same speed. Sounds like it’s about a mile.

Deleting the bit in the first brackets, making this slightly easier to read: "The revised Local Plan should not allocate land for housing or other uses which increases the population within the DEPZ (including significant employment development or the enlargement of the Madejski Stadium for exa...

Yesterday was also the 24th anniversary of the play-off first leg away to Wigan. I know this because I had a prior engagement that day!

I spent far too long yesterday trying to find who has the second worst record in the play-offs (i.e. the most unsuccessful campaigns without ever winning promotion). Eventually gave up, but I am wondering whether, if Sheffield U finally break their hoodoo - will we have a new record to add to our ta...

I want Coventry to go up. I quite like Lampard and I think Coventry deserve a chance in the Premier League. They've been through a lot of rubbish over recent years Agreed. Sheffield U and Sunderland have had enough chances. I remember Coventry getting promoted to the top flight in the first season ...

I thought much the same. Considerably faster pace, higher levels of skill, highly entertaining game. Great to see City blow their chance, as they usually do. My least favourite team in the EFL. Well, you'll be delighted that former Royal Rob Dickie is the biggest villain in blowing it for City with...

Good point. What a farce. And to think the EFL were worried about Reading undermining the integrity of the league.

Turns out Mike Gow has nothing to do with the EFL, he is some kind of social media user with a special interest in Reading FC (aren’t we all?). So why was he wearing an Everton shirt?

Do they still record C1871 on CCTV?

Age limit? The assaults were by people well into their 30s.

My son has shown me a comment on X, which says, “I can’t believe an idiot “fan” in 1871 started on and punched Mikey Gow and got him chucked out of the stadium. All the man has done for the club during this Dai Yongge disaster and this is how he is thanked for it. Shame on you!” This incident took p...

BBC reporting that our record is 105, so we’ve got it wrong all these years!

Well, I am clinging to my memory of Alan Clarke’s Barnsley at Elm Park, with Michael Parkinson in the Norfolk Road stand!

Gobsheik Perhaps they are only interested in the Premier Clubs, as they are promoted more in the Media etc. Glory seeking springs to mind.
The Premier league is a Global concern now. Lets face it, the World doesn't want the 'smaller' club.

I get your point, but Wrexham would suggest otherwise.

Aging fan base? That’s a new one on me! True dinosaurs, then. Shame, I always found Rovers fans to be more grounded and approachable than the City lot who, even thirty years ago, were obsessed with the notion their club was a sleeping giant that was just a couple of signings away from top flight foo...
