Hi. Sorry to you loyal folks who sit at home every Wednesday, waiting for Tweets of the Week to drop... *tumbleweed*
Ahem. Let's get cracking.
Let's start with a photo of under pressure (right?) manager Nigel Adkins and a quite magnificent mustache.

After the Rotherham game, the Royals got a compliment so of course everyone jumped on it.
Changes have worked later on for #rufc but what I am seeing from #readingfc is a false position in the table and be warned championship

It wasn't so long ago fans were feeling positive.
3 quality goals tonight. All the team wanted to defend, it was a bit headless at times but the desire was back. #readingfc

Tonight Anton Ferdinand & Stephen Kelly proved what a massive difference mature & experienced defenders can make to our team. #readingfc

I'll be gutted if we don't sign Murray permanently now. Very clever player; uses his brain. Movement and hold-up play exceptional #readingfc

On a weekend when both Long and Sigurdsson score, one Reading fan decided to joke about it. Thanks Felipe.
Hilarious scenes as the only Reading players that can score this weekend are former Reading players.
