This week we're all a tad nostalgic. Recent performances of Steve Clarke's men have us harking back to the bright days where another straight-talking bald-headed manager lead Reading to claim a record 106 points and it's now been 25 years since Sir John Madejski took over at Reading Football Club.
Golly.
Dive in...
Reading FC Academy product Jem Karacan played in the Champions League. Yes, really.

It did not go down well.
Jem Karacan playing in the Champions League is something i thought I'd never see.

@bobdonadini our squad is just SO weak. No depth. Jem Karacan + Bilal + Sabri arent fit for Sunday league, yet they play alongside Sneijder!

May aswell sign out jem karacan is playing

From Turkish pigeon translation, Jem Karacan is getting absolutely slated. And probably rightly so. Limited. #optaWill

George wasn't wrong.
"#ClarkeOut" is about to do the rounds on Twitter.

See?
According to @maffff Steve Clarke's league record is worse than Nigel Adkins. Enough is enough, #ClarkeOut #ReadingFC

Can everyone remember how poor we were against Bolton and how they deserved to win, 2 gifts for goals. #readingfc are awful #clarkeout now.

Another, disgraceful performance & result produced 'under the gaffer' Clarke who is a useless, disloyal charlatan. #ClarkeOut #readingfc
