The best Tweets from the past week or so. The best. Honest.
I must begin by apologising for missing last week's edition of Tweets of the Week. I was in Portugal and the WiFi was so bad I felt like I was using dial-up. So there you go. Anyway, it doesn't matter because it's back and it's good.
We'll begin where we left off last time, with #21ForDolan and the incredible support displayed by Reading fans.
A nicer, more hard-working man you will not meet. #readingfc #21forDolan pic.twitter.com/P7oySl3NLL

And a fact that may have snuck by you. Cheeky.
Hector confirmed as vice captain in Clarke's programme notes. @charles_watts @TheTilehurstEnd don't know if that's been said before!

Football. We love it. Right?
Ladies and gentleman this is football in 2015. Energy drinks, Thai owners, dance pop club songs, DJ MegaParty and African Violet kits...

@RoyalHoops They've even put our transfer budget underneath the pump badge, nice touch.

Whilst Beric rumours continue, this football fan has a few insights into the man.
1. You better hope you have unselfish wingers/lots of providers. 2. I can't see him being effective as a back-up & 3. Patience. #Beric

But Charles deals in facts.
Reading have scored twice from 69 shots this season, meanwhile....... #readingfc https://t.co/HysYRyBuao
— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) August 24, 2015
As does this persona.
#ReadingFC have had the most shots on goal and conceded the fewest shots in the Football League. pic.twitter.com/pwYqwsKzdS

Milestone.
#TTEpodcast has now been listened to over half a million times since we launched in 2013. Thanks for the patience ;)
— The Tilehurst End (@TheTilehurstEnd) August 25, 2015
@TheTilehurstEnd Still an unprofessional joke of a podcast though

Surely not Clarke-bashing already. Surely...? Defend him, sir.
Don't get the hate on Clarke. We've looked considerably better this season defensively and that's a great starting point. #readingfc

Imbeciles.
Blackman targeted by some abuse by Pompey fans in first half. Exact nature not confirmed. But Kevin Keen full of praise for his response.
— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) August 25, 2015
Incident was reported by Blackman to the referee, who then got stewards involved. Club not saying anything official on matter yet #readingfc
— Charles Watts (@charles_watts) August 25, 2015
And... draw!

More Beric. This saga is more epic than Lord of the Rings.
@emjaygreen89 if he will leave (or is allowed to) i think that reading is the nr.1

PIAZON?!?!?!?!
I'm also told that a loan deal to bring Lucas Piazon to the club from Chelsea u21s is close, though there's still a bit to do. #readingfc
