After a fortnight collecting tweets from the Twittersphere, it's safe to say there are some absolute crackers in this edition of Tweets of the Week.
We'll start with former Royals boss being a bit of a positive geezer. Very unusual.
Looking forward to the weekends football fixtures and watching as much as possible with positive support for my previous clubs #Supporter

Then we have two celebrities getting snarky.
@richardosman it's the big one!
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) January 17, 2015
And snark from a fan, too.
If there was a stabbing at the Fulham - #Readingfc game, it would definitely be with a cheese knife after an argument about house prices

Jake Cooper: Goal Machine.
Jake Cooper scored more goals in one game (2) than HRK, Obita, Norwood, Williams, McCleary, Guthrie & Akpan have in a combined 100

Twice in one edition. This Zac fella was on top form.
Danny Guthrie (supposedly) has joined Twitter, but all we know is he has a TV mounted on a wall and a pair of legs.
For all the doubters. This is my real account #Chilling pic.twitter.com/ViF4HV9Fcp

DRENTHE SAGA PART ONE: Will he or won't he? Oh, please won't he?
On Drenthe, #readingfc were hopeful that things would move forward today and he would be in a position to fly out to Turkey for a medical.

I'd never heard of Kyseri Erciyesspor but if they have signed Drenthe I will never forget them for what they have done for us. Cheers lads!

Shocking stat, brought to you by this geezer.
It's easy to forget that Taylor is the same age as Norwood. #ReadingFC

Suggestions for Jure Travner-related chants? My contribution is: "Jure Travner make me go to rehab, but I said, 'No, no, no'" #readingfc
— Jacob South Klein (@JacobSouthKlein) January 22, 2015
Is Travner any good? Jure guess is as good as mine #readingfc
— Carl (@RFCCSN) January 22, 2015
I like that we've signed someone but the Jure is still out on him #readingfc

FA CUP FIFTH ROUND: Who will we get? Will it be Bradford, the return of Park—Derby? Are you... !@"£$£%£$&Q serious?!
Thats only the worse we could have got!!!! Maybe Derby are saying the same!
— Ady Williams (@willow1871) January 26, 2015
If you listened very carefully out your window when that draw was made, you could hear a collective groan ring out around town. #readingfc
— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) January 26, 2015
Lineker, after his earlier snark, now drops our ball.
Drop our ball then draw us away to Derby, not a fan of Reading, @GaryLineker? https://t.co/Ex1qE9Pv9n

And finally, the battle of Reading FC reporters... Commence!
Are we sure that @charles_watts and @PaulCareySport aren't the same person? #readingfc pic.twitter.com/qSOSl1ejqP
— Simeon F.W. Pickup (@BucksRoyal) January 28, 2015
@BucksRoyal @PaulCareySport I can confirm we are not the same person. His team no longer play in red, mine always will.
— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) January 28, 2015
@BucksRoyal @charles_watts Having seen Charles' fantasy football score last night, I can also confirm we definitely aren't the same person!
— Paul Carey (@PaulCareySport) January 28, 2015
@charles_watts @BucksRoyal haha, you'll thank me when my mind games inspire you to stage a comeback and edge above your mate!
— Paul Carey (@PaulCareySport) January 28, 2015
@PaulCareySport @BucksRoyal That will take more than mind games mate. I've well and truly waved the white flag.
— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) January 28, 2015
Charles lost.
