Reading FC Tweets Of The Week

Reading FC Tweets Of The Week: #DimHalDimHwyl And Qualification Celebrations

The international fortnight may have been boring for us fans, but it hasn't been for The Royals' international players.

By Royal Hoops@RoyalHoops Oct 15, 2015, 12:18pm BST

Hands up if you love a good international fortnight! … What? Nobody? No, me neither. They're boring (mostly because England are tedious) and run the risk of taking away that all important m-word from the squad: momentum.

Oh, and there's that weird thing where Wales supporters adore Hal Robson-Kanu, whereas Reading fans… well, don't. It's uncomfortable and strange and we don't like that here on Tweets of the Wee—oh! Who am I kidding. We love weird.

Speaking of weird, let's delve into the best tweets from the past week, shall we?

Weird.
