Injured midfielder Jemba says that we could soon be seeing a whole XI made up of academy players.
Could we one day see a #ReadingFC first-team made up purely of players from the academy? Jem Karacan thinks so http://t.co/tAgLkqr9wH

If #readingfc get bought out by a Peruvian, does that mean we'll have to replace Kingsley Royal with Paddington Bear?

#readingfc takeover talks are really starting to bore me, have been linked with so many nationalities that we could host our own World Cup!

People seem to being offered the chance all over the place to buy the club. Doesn't seem to be much of a plan #readingfc
— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) March 17, 2014
Waiting for #readingfc to approach me about buying the club. I'm one of few yet to be offered the chance!

Massive win for Reading 2-1 at Birmingham. I'd just like to add there was no riot.

Former Royal scores the winner for Spurs. How we could do with some of his inspiration.

Manchester derby v Reading-Barnsley. Hmmm.
Imagine watching City v United when there's Reading v Barnsley.

Oh @ReadingFC A predictable performance against a bottom of the league side. :(
— Chez (@Starbuck999) March 25, 2014
And @ReadingFC's painful inconsistency continues - thankfully it seems almost everyone else targeting the playoffs is as up & down as we are

@RoyalHoops @BucksRoyal @TheTilehurstEnd Good summary, presume was fear of the #hoolihoops that stopped the players coming over #readingfc
— My Left Paw (@CheChe_Guevara) March 26, 2014
Give us Hope, Akpan.
Our home form needs improving asap! All need to use POSITIVE energy to push us over the play off line! #ontothenextone #readingfc
— Hope Akpan (@HopeAkpan) March 26, 2014
@HopeAkpan good to see a player remain focussed and willing to tackle this problem head on. Hopefully everyone is ready to!
