The turn 1 thing…

Very odd qualifying but despite the pit holds up and other nonsense, yielded some interesting results. Feel bad for Lando but really happy to see Danny Ricc back up there. 

The question was literally framed as "It's important not to get carried away with outside noise isn't it?" so Barker had every right to answer the question using the very same phrase.
Some people will just choose to take offence to anything if it fits with their preconceived narrative.

Clocks go back tonight.
I'm turning mine back to 1972.

Yes but we can't keep wheeling that out as an excuse. The performances and tactics are not good enough for the personnel we do have. It's related sure but it doesn't absolve us of the issues on the pitch at the moment. We should be doing better with what little we do have.

I don’t know but mine has. I was patient but I can’t tolerate it anymore.

Gary Rowett would be a massive upgrade. And I think Rowett is a dreadful manager.

It's official
 

Anyone with a passing interest in F1 will know that this is not going to end well for Reading. 
Storey is a notorious attention seeker having put bids in for all sorts of nonsense. His company 'Rich Energy', a product I've never seen on a shelf anywhere, sponsored the Haas F1 team but it all went belly up mid-season leaving Haas in some trouble without the sponsorship money they had accounted for. Storey also famously got ripped to bits by a judge in a copyright case, essentially being branded dishonest.
Any money this guy puts forward for Reading will likely not be his money because he doesn't appear to have any significant wealth, and he seems unwilling to reveal who would be putting the money in. 
This is a classic case of someone who should get filtered out by the fit and proper person test, but the EFL will probably roll out the red carpet to him.
Reading are hardly in a good place right now, but this would be out of the frying pan and into an Olympic pool sized deep fat fryer.

Ah!  The halcyon days of a muffled PA system.

I'm sure it was finished the last time I went.

Meh! They weren't even under rocket attack this time 🪖

Hard to not like Piastri. Very happy to see both McLaren's on the podium there. Not a bad race. Maybe we can stop going to countries where driver health and safety is at risk due to the heat? Unlikely.

Merc lads negotiating the first bend

Good sprint qualifying for Mclaren, Piastri P1 and Lando P2. Verstappen P3, then russell, sainz, leclerc, hulkenberg (good job!), Perez, alonso and Ocon.
Hamilton starts the sprint P12

Told you Paul Warne is a football genius 

There was literally a fans forum last month. Bore off.

What a nonsense thread this is!
