It was nearly complete, it was nearly so sweet. Reading were so very close to starting their 2024/25 season in perfect fashion today, but were denied late on. Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan had given the Royals a deserved first-half lead which the visiting side fought doggedly to protect after the break, only for the referee (awarding a soft penalty for handball) and Alfie May (who converted the spot-kick) to have other ideas.

Almost every social media post Sunderland AFC have published this summer has featured at least one reply asking the club to sign a striker.

A new professional women’s basketball league is coming to the United States, and it could change everything for the game’s top athletes. The Lynx’s Napheesa Collier and the Liberty’s Breanna Stewart — former teammates the University of Connecticut and two of the WNBA’s biggest stars — are launching Unrivaled, a three-on-three basketball league to take place in Miami during the WNBA offseason. The league will be player-owned and boast a minimum salary of $100,000, and will give players an opportunity to stay in the U.S. during the offseason rather than play overseas.

A few hours earlier, news had broken that Reading Football Club were about to sell their training ground to Wycombe Wanderers. The jewel in the Royals’ crown was to be flogged to division rivals; if you wanted proof that Reading were being stripped for parts by an owner intent on not selling the entire club, this was surely it.
