@MrNeilrowbottom Who’s next ?

So the ins and outs merry go round have started

@ReadingFC K. E starting again when he won’t be at the mad stad next season, or here’s hoping.

Your final Royal XI for the 2025/26 season 👇

@BBCNews The sudden realisation that she won’t need to work for a single day the rest of her life but will want for absolutely nothing.

@YesterdaysBrit1 Nice documentary on him running on @Radio4Extra at the moment, “not just a dirty laugh”

On this day in 1976, star of screen and radio, Sid James, dies at the age of 62. Known for his roles in the popular 'Carry On' series of films, James was also a huge success in the show 'Hancock's Half Hour'.

@mrdanwalker There’s always plenty of space for good quality content Dan, unfortunately this was neither, a slight case of auntie shooting herself in the foot #FootballFocus

Really sad to hear about the end of Football Focus. I loved that show growing up. I used to watch it every week with my dad and I remember how proud he was when I got the job. It was such a privilege to sit in the chair for 12 years, work with an amazing team on and off air and form so many lasting friendships. Saturdays were always special. The football landscape is constantly changing and it’s disappointing that there isn’t space for a show that has meant so much to so many people for so many years.

@BBCMOTD Introducing a different sport to this once brilliant magazine show has been its downfall.

An incredible 52-year journey comes to an end. Following extensive consideration, BBC Sport has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Football Focus at the end of this season. First broadcast in 1974, Football Focus is a testament to the brilliant team who have worked on it over the years and, of course, the audience. The programme has been a staple of the BBC’s football coverage for decades, providing fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. But changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent. Fans are accessing discussion, highlights, analysis and news through digital platforms and on-demand viewing and as viewing habits continue to evolve, it is right that BBC Sport adapts how it brings football coverage to the widest audiences across television, radio, online and to its extensive social platforms. BBC Sport boasts a strong football rights portfolio and is set to significantly expand its digital output this year growing content across BBC platforms, as well as a bold new slate of exclusive shows on YouTube. Featuring fresh formats, big personalities and more frequent, always-on content tailored for digital audiences, the expansion will bring fans closer to the game than ever before delivering more high-quality, accessible and engaging football coverage at scale. We will release further details on these plans in the coming months.

@ReadingFC It’s about time you dropped the nickname, I could think of some but would probably get banned for a while.

Happy Birthday King Kelv! 👑 We hope you have a great day Kelvin 🎉

@ramy_abousetta You think Dorsett and big Kelvin are decent footballers, probably seek analysis elsewhere.

Though Reading lost 3-1 to promotion securing Cardiff City, their performance for the majority of the fixture showed improvement. With Andy Rinomhota, Daniel Kyerewaa and Paddy Lane all stepping up. #readingfc readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/26033208…

@FPL_b0nz @ReadingFC 05!06 no parachute payments and a squad that was put together for pennies, promoted with record points total (106) never will be surpassed. Good luck in the prem.

Not since Norwich in 03/4 season has a team won the Championship when not in receipt of parachute payments and with a lower half wage bill. If Cov can go on to win it - it’s statistically the greatest "pound-for-pound" title win in the history of the modern Championship #PUSB

@HighwaysYORKS I’m sure the good people of #Rishworth and #Rippondon can’t wait, closing both sides of the M62 at 20.00 is going to cause severe gridlock.

@BBCBreaking Well done to Rory but Rosy threw that away #Mastersgolf

@jswhudds That’s it old lad,you’re actually worse than embarrassingly bad,

Reading are genuinely so embarrassingly bad at football considering they occupy a playoff spot. How has that actually happened? #htafc #readingfc

@IainDale No Iain, political figures and media types know exactly what is unaffordable but dare not say it, lest it’s career ending.

One day, a politician will have the bollocks to say in public what they're quite happy to say when the microphone is off, and that is this. The Triple lock is unaffordable and must go. We all know it. And I say that as someone who in four years would benefit from it.

@ramy_abousetta Half decent, when fit, some heavy lifting with the star thing.

Exclusive: Reading FC have finally received compensation for star Amadou Mbengue following his move to Championship side Queens Park Rangers, The Reading Chronicle can reveal. #readingfc #qpr readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25991187.…

@HughWoozencroft The problem with forcing DEI on British broadcasting is that we end up with sub standard radio programs like yours. #Talksport

Not to detract from Carol being an absolute star because she is but wow, that is a very, very striking image of a production that's meant to represent the entire country.

@ramy_abousetta Let’s hope big K scores a couple more goals this season, somebody might take a punt in the summer.

FULL TIME - Reading 3 - 0 Wigan Reading put on a respectable performance to sail away from this afternoon's fixture with three points. Kelvin puts on another great performance and proves he can be a striker when it matters most. #readingfc are now in 6th.

@henrywinter I don’t suppose you would’ve even mentioned it if hadn’t been Farage.

The issue here is that no politician, whatever their party, should be allowed the opportunity to use a football club as a platform to promote themselves.

@ReadingFC How time flies, a never to be forgotten day for me and my lad. #readingfc

Were you in the 3,000-strong away end at Leicester City 20 years ago, or wish you were? We have uncovered some incredible footage from the away end, including the moment Kevin Doyle pulled us level. Sit back and enjoy some fantastic fan footage from the East Midlands two decades ago🥹

@BurnsideWasTosh Wonderful result for you that.

@Stephan65595292 @princessmacd Best striker, best winger and best defender all missing, mitigating ? @ReadingFC

LR talking about injuries and how it all stems from preseason and recruitment back in the summer … I’m not having that excuse anymore. They’ve had since October to get in shape and get it right at the training ground. Injuries are happening because of how we play. #readingfc
