Anything worth knowing about Sumrith Thanakarnjanasut? He just became the chairman at Oxford and all I really know is that he owned Reading for a couple of years.

Tiger? Ha!

Yeah, he was alright, at least he tried to engage with the fans.

But it is probably telling that the Thai consortium who owned Reading got their hands on land next to the stadium and are building a half billion pound housing project. (I believe)

1 shot on target in 2 games for Clement’s team apparently, and that a fluke goal from Aluko who has been pathetic all season.

Oh my Gawd. I doubt there has been a more awful team at Reading in my lifetime.

Unbelievable that we will still almost certainly stay up.

Paul Clement must be wondering wtf he has come into. Pleased to say he didn’t pull punches in his post match interview, but then he’s on fairly safe ground there as it’s Stam’s team, not his.

I’d really like Fulham to go up but I’m afraid there is literally no chance of this Reading team getting any result other than a resounding defeat on Sunday.

We aren’t just a crap team with poor, unfit footballers - we are worse than that. We are bottlers with zero heart as well.

Put that lot together and you really have zero chance against a Warnock team.

66/1 for relegation with Betfair.

More than a little generous.

Impressive in so many ways against 2 of the “big” teams in the last few days - Cardiff were blown apart and we matched WBA all the way and would have won but for an 88th minute pen.

Such early days but this team looks capable of achieving really good things as they continue to gel. And the depth of squad is excellent.

For me, failure to make Top 6 would be a huge disappointment. And actually it would be failure - which would mean departure of Gomes and we really don’t want that!

I am confident - and driving home from Windsor games listening to Timademickrita on BBCRB will hopefully not be quite such a chore as the last few years which will be nice.

After the last God knows how many years it feels good to be a Reading fan again.
