Pre-Match View From Reading

[The Crab]

They do if you send them out to work.

Tried that, Big Vern was a bit too hands on for my liking.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Thats usually what Ms Crab says

Not to me and the lads she doesn't

 

[Stretch]

Missing my first home game of the season this weekend due a clusterfuck of other people's commitments. Well pissed off

 

[Pierre's PC]

they come across as a decent bunch

I punched him in the kidneys, fired a flare at his missus and pissed on his kids after he wrote that.

Consensual, paid for sex has no place on a football forum unless you're Darren. You're not Darren are you?

 

[The Crab]

Not to me and the lads she doesn't

Well to be fair on her profile it said she liked meeting people....................

 

[Grecian2000]

We're almost a 1/3 of the way into the season. We're above the fabled 2 points per game ratio.

BTL was wondering who'd nicked his calculator.

The optomism should start at some point? Why shouldn't we go up, we're one of the best sides I've seen this season and that's chopping and changing most weeks.

A few more wins and we should be starting to believe. Only two teams out of twelve could honestly say they were a match for us and one of those got lucky. Obviously a long way to go, but same time last year I thought we would go up. Just didn't expect to go up so convincingly

A bit of a mixed bag in there Roy the odd compliment but when it comes from a 60 year old Daily Mail reading Thatcherite that bemoans having to travel North they can stick it where the sun don,t shine , Looks like I got a bite or two on the plastic , soulless , MK Dons alike comment which I fully standby , at least one of them acknowledges there was a Reading pre 1994 though I doubt he ever saw Elm Park like the 11k others of his compatriots at the Stadio del Plastico and their mannequin support . Hope we send home to there Stepford Wife existence with a handful of fuck all ... ps I hope they pick these comments up too just to re-iterate my dislike of their whole outfit

Ps, What’s the name of there message board ,,,

Cheers Roy, appreciated as always mate

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

They have sold 1100 by the close of business today,but they can still buy tickets on the day,Reading have also provided season ticket holders and members freee coach travel to the game.

 

[zablade]

I miss the pre match comments from the start of the season where opposition fans were talking about "cloggers" "defending balls lumped into the box" and "the physical threat"

 

[DiggerBlade]

Cheers Roy

Reading used to be a centre for biscuit-making thanks to a large Huntley & Palmers factory (now closed).

Thanks! You learn something new everyday!

Thanks! You learn something new everyday!

Happy to help!

When I first moved here Reading were a 3rd-tier side going nowhere. You'd never see anyone wearing a Reading shirt round town, and there was a lot of support for London clubs (esp Chelsea) & Southampton. Since then the town has got richer due to the influx of IT companies, and the football team likewise thanks to Madejski's cash. When they started doing well, Reading shirts were suddenly everywhere - they even sold them in John Lewis. "Life-long Reading fans" appeared from nowhere.

 

[South Bucks]

As someone that worked in Reading for a decade and all my colleagues supported Arsenal/Manure and any other cheats unless Reading were doing well i find their comments hilarious. No pub within a mile of the ground, says it all, no tradition, plastic fans, and not even worth a ten pence bag for life....

 

[CornwallBlade]

Cheers Roy, bloody fantastic service my friend.
Hitting the road early to travel up from Cornwall for my first home game of the season. Been kept alive by all the talk on here and can’t wait to see the boys and savour the atmosphere - been singing the chip butty song to myself all day

Yes it is and if the Malaysian and Indonesian governments could just have a think about leaving some forest on Borneo rather than solely plantations for palm oil it might remain a luvleh place
