Reading FC Tweets Of The Week: #Bushwatch & Transfer Deadline Day

You just know it's going to be a good Tweets of the Week when there's been a man in the bushes and a flurry of transfer activity.

By Royal Hoops@RoyalHoops Sep 3, 2015, 9:11am BST

After last week's fun with Kuhl's hair, this week we're getting a little too excited about the deadline day activity and a hipster in the bushes. You wouldn't get this anywhere else — it's Tweets of the Week!

We'll start with some news that made us all sadface :( a little bit: Ian Harte has retired.

The time has come to hang the boots up. I have had over 20 years playing football and loved every minute of it!!! Now to the next chapter

Remember when we beat Portsmouth?

The BFR had quite a cult following at Reading, but he's gone. So are his BF-wages.

Former Reading youngster Ryan Edwards got an opportunity to train with Manchester City. Then he met Vieira.

We might have only won once, but the STATS say we're rockin' it.

@Filbyyy @SkyBetChamp that would be @ReadingFC - around 6 shots faced per match, which is around half the current average.

If you know anything about Sir Dodger Royal, you know this is fairly accurate.

Lucas Piazon to Reading makes me suspicious that there is one tombola drum with young Chelsea players' names in and another with clubs in.

Oh, but that's the tip of the iceberg. Transfer Deadline Day is upon us — and so is #Bushwatch2k15.

Right, I'm awake. Let's do this thing. #BushWatch2K15 is go.

No, no, no...

@Big_Hec35 if that's true
— lawson d'ath (@lawsondath92) September 1, 2015
