VAR checks a potential pull on Marc Cucurella’s hair, but play continues 👀 📺 Watch live on TNT Sports and HBO Max

Benjamin Sesko is such a perfectionist he had double-glazed windows fitted to his home to block out the air traffic noise from nearby Manchester Airport so his sleeping would improve #mufc thesun.co.uk/sport/38383136…

Tim Dellor reporting on BBC Radio Berkshire that 'a number of' #ReadingFC players told him after the defeat to Bristol City on Wednesday that they wanted a change in manager. This reportedly included 'senior' players in the dressing room.

In the long, shadowed months I lay bed-bound, joy reduced to a fragile flicker — only #ReadingFC, my hometown club Rot-Weiss Essen, and the kindness of my Hokulani colleagues and friends kept the light alive. Yet Rot-Weiss Essen rose like stubborn hope from 2010's bankruptcy ruins: 6-8,000 faithful in the 5th tier, 14 grinding years in the fourth, now just five games from the 2nd Bundesliga with averages surging well over 17,000 souls each match. I know toxicity. I know the frustration of half-empty stands and broken dreams. That’s why I fell so hard for the Royals — when Berkshire stood shoulder to shoulder, protesting, fighting for justice, exposing the nonsense from the so-called Robin Hood of Harbin and his cronies. We criticised @TimDellor , BBC Berkshire, the local press — enablers, I called them — yet with distance I can say: Tim is a good person. He was lied to, used, and trusted in good faith like many others. I still feel the ache of that. Now I watch @ramy_abousetta at the Reading Chronicle and wonder: is this what victory looks like? Social media pressing publications to echo the timeline’s rage, or the club’s line? Neither blind loyalty nor digital storm serves the truth. We fought for balance, for checks, for a club worthy of the paying faithful who simply want to feel the warmth of the stadium again. Reading is not Morecambe. We are not condemned to fifth-tier ghosts. But scrolling #readingfc, I ask: was this the future the community bled for? Still, football remains my quiet grace. Gratitude, always — for the fight, the scars, and the hope that refuses to die.

There’s no grand refereeing conspiracy against your club, the officials are simply incompetent.

Now go win it @reading #readingfc
