I’m sick of us being a laughing stock. We really don’t help ourselves, do we? I bet most fans want us to go down now. It puts pressure on Sheffield United to not take it easy if they’re promoted already too. Unless someone from Reading has leaked the story for these very reasons!

Have I missed something? Why is Pukki not playing?

Thomas on the bench again. Looks like he's fallen out of favour there, hasn't started a game since mid March It’s almost as if he’s not as good as he thinks he is! 🤔

Dalziel & Pascoe, brilliant series, used to love it and Warren Clarke was one of our most under-rated actors. From Clockwork Orange, through ID, Red Riding series and The Manageress, plus guest parts in pretty much every British TV Series. Loved Andy Dalziel. Great dry Yorkshire humour. Loved it when he was at the autopsy of a dead golfer and he told the doctor he was nipping out for a sand wedge. Genius! I remember him saying his wife had “run off with the milkman … God, I miss him!”

Sadly, it becomes a lot less funny if we go down. Fingers crossed for a double result.

That Anthony looks like he's won his place in a raffle most of the time too Strange how others see the game, he’s been the best player on the park today alongside Bruno. Caused forest no end of trouble (not hard granted). Yeah, looked a threat whenever he got the ball. Fernandes and Eriksen were very good. Wan Bissaka even looks alright against that shite!

Final day of the season. Huddersfield, Reading and QPR are on equal points and only two of the three can survive. QPR have a vastly inferior goal difference but manage to beat a Bristol City team who are already on the beach. So both Huddersfield and Reading MUST win to guarantee survival and send the other one down. I don't think my nerves could stand it! Andy Carroll clambers over three defenders in the last minute to nod Reading to safety is my nightmare scenario Or they throw Naby forward like we used to in the good old days … last year!

Before that last game, QPR play Norwich at home and go away to Burnley and Stoke. Just hoping they lose those and we sneak a win somewhere before then.

If you say so. I don’t know who you are. I thought I was being very even-handed in that reply. As with all posters, some things we agree on, some things we don’t. Seems like everything I say, the same usual suspects jump on it. Including you. Only when you post nonsense! 😉 I particularly disagree with you on Corberan. Sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t have a mob. It’s on my bucket list to get one though …

If ganging up on someone makes them feel better, then fair play to them. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. 😆

I actually agree that players without the ability to play that sort of football shouldn’t. I even agree that some of the football under Carlos wasn’t good to watch (although I would argue that the results far outweighed the resources and the ends justified the means). It was the Guardiola comment I was reacting to. Surely, some of the football Man City have played is amongst the best this country has ever seen? It is, but most teams in the country have tried to copy it and they clearly can't play that style. I'm sure you'd have found something else to pick at if I hadn't mentioned Guardiola. I'm awaiting "Porrohman/henryc/Sio/Dan and Ted chips likes this" on all your posts now as per. If you say so. I don’t know who you are. I thought I was being very even-handed in that reply. As with all posters, some things we agree on, some things we don’t.

“Guardiola has ruined the game …”. 😂 I’m not sure football’s for you! Oh here he is, another one of my fans. As Walton has said above, this insistence on playing out from the back is now endemic in the game at all levels. I feel that the game is poorer for it because everyone plays the same way, most teams don't have the players to do it but they insist on doing it. And most football matches are now akin to a chess match. Warnock's football, no matter how much people will say is dinosaur football, has been genuinely refreshing to watch over the last few weeks. Last time I checked, I was allowed an opinion? I actually agree that players without the ability to play that sort of football shouldn’t. I even agree that some of the football under Carlos wasn’t good to watch (although I would argue that the results far outweighed the resources and the ends justified the means). It was the Guardiola comment I was reacting to. Surely, some of the football Man City have played is amongst the best this country has ever seen?

I just don’t get the obsession with having to play out. Yes I realise we’re playing at the other end of the spectrum now and whilst I didn’t see yesterdays game, the stats tell the story of how woefully short of quality we are but unless you’re in the dominant 2-3 teams in the league it really makes no sense to me why more teams don’t play more direct more often I think Warnock has shown that you don't need to play 50 passes across your own defence to win games. It's so frustrating watching almost every team play the same way and football is now like watching a game of chess. Guardiola has ruined the game in this country. This is why I have very rarely been enthused about how we've played over the last few years, it's just very boring. “Guardiola has ruined the game …”. 😂 I’m not sure football’s for you!

Corberan really fucked us over the last few games - draws against Cardiff and QPR today, alongside a loss to Rotherham 3 days ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if WBA make a switch soon, poor run of results them. Weren’t they in the relegation zone when he took over then went on an amazing run? Admittedly, they’ve slipped up recently but it would be madness to sack him and not give him next season to see what he can do with a pre-season of murderball to get them fitter!

Would be great to have one of those matchdays where the points are in the bag and you can just sit back and see what the others around you get later in the day. Still work to do but Warnock will say all the right things at half time. With Fotheringham you wondered what he said at half time but then the players probably thought the same. Nothing. He was out watching the subs warm up!

C’mon mate you was happy when he was appointed. Only because the arsehole before him had gone. They could have appointed Stuart McCall for all I cared at the time. And how’s that working out for you? Happy to be scrapping around to try and stay in the division? Personally, I quite liked it when we won a few games and were challenging for promotion, but each to their own.

They should have kept him , even if it was jsut to keep helping us . QPR please keep Ainsworth he is doing an incredible job. I repeat do not panic, he is doing so well . It’s funny that a lot of us would’ve wanted Wilder, McCarthy or Ainsworth and none of them doing too well at the moment. I don’t know if you’ve seen any interviews with Ainsworth or video clips. He seems completely clueless and out of his depth. 🤞🏼 He’s been saying they were in a false position when they started the season so well and the videos of the Māori bloke coming in and getting them doing the haka is one of the cringiest things I’ve ever seen. It’s like David Brent has been put in charge of motivational tactics. 😆 Long may it continue.

Don't think Herbert Chapman is there. Nah, Chapman has got nowt on this fella. World class. You’re right. Managed to finish third last season with this squad. Without him and LOB, we’re currently third bottom. Obviously you haven’t noticed.

Methinks you’ve missed an emoji there… 😉 No. True story. That's just what us Tories are like! 😉 It reminds me of that Channel 4 advert for Italian football where the old bloke is sat next to an empty seat in a packed stadium. Someone asks him about it and he explains it was his dearly departed wife’s seat. They then ask “didn’t any friends or family want it?” He shakes his head sadly and replies “No, they’re all at the funeral.” 😂

Obviously dont know the circumstances why, but how can a player whos probably had more money than he knows what to do with end up like this, and hes certainly not on his own, loads in the same boat (or have been). Bad investments and advice coupled with being a bit thick and an utter prick, I should imagine.

Good read. Always fascinating reading about players who appear to lose it for one reason or another (Billy Kenny being a favourite of mine and would love to know how Yoann Gourcuff’s career nosedived so badly).

A couple of players who I pretty much disliked, Craig Bellamy and Didier Drogba, both have done some excellent charity work which changed my opinion on them. Of course it's possible to be both philanthropic and a complete twat too. I read that Bellamy has been declared bankrupt the other day. www.bbc.com/sport/football/65152140.amp

I’m sorry I don’t know what that is Sorry, long-running joke on here and a constant debate as to whether the match is on “red button” (SkySports sometimes have live Championship matches on this feature, but no one seems to know when). Welcome! P.S. Are you one of the other investors, by any chance? Initials BG or EM? 😁
