The only bad thing about Kelly is that I went to school with someone who will make in three weeks what I make in a year. He's been bloody excellent since breaking into the starting 11. Deserves every credit coming his way.

I think I must literally be the only away fan on the planet who likes Ipswich away. IN despite the awful price. Like? Ipswich? Away! Yeah, you're on your own there fella! Its reasonably quick to get to (if the Liverpool Street trains aren't buggered!), the pub and the ground are right next to the s...

Gutted I can't make this at such a good price, fair play to Brum.

Thought that was pretty good in the second half, not much to say on the first half. Kelly, Swift and especially Williams (despite a couple of big mistakes) really impressed me. Two terrible penalties and it's getting seriously concerning how bad we are at it :shock: Good win for us though, onwards a...

On the chant, I'm sure 99% of people who have sung it and are not racist and just see it as a joke, a bit of dark humour. Personally I wouldn't sing it but to me it's not really any different to that racist joke or sexist joke or homophobic joke everyone's made in a conversation with a mate and has...

I think it would suit a heavier riff a bit better, Bodies by Drowning Pool?

Standard home game on a Saturday: £13ish a ticket £50-£100 on food/beer £2-£6 on taxis/buses from town to ground £4 return train Aldermaston to Reading Enough essentially... I smell bull - you could spend £100 on food and beer? :lol: :lol: If I do a full 9am-midnight session - quite easily yes!

It wasn't THAT bad. We were outplayed, yes, but it as simple mistakes that led to our demise not complete ineptitude. As someone who, with a largely new squad, new manager and coming off of two relatively poor seasons, only ever expected a top half finish this year, nothing out there screamed to me ...

The old Walkabout used to be fine for away fans (away fans only as well), and now that's shut the foody pub behind the station serves away fans happily.

The stand out player for me was Swift who looked a class above everyone else on the pitch in the first half. Shame he went off at half time as we didn't look as good after that. Agree with this, Swift was fantastic and looks a real skilful player with a nice touch. Overall a really enjoyable game i...

Good strong win to start pre season off with them. Some good signs but I still think this season will be nothing more than a building year before a possible push next season. The main squad looked good, McCleary stood out with some great forward moves they were just lacking a little something that h...

Pre season tour (or match) abroad is on, next Friday we play a Saudi Arabian side in Arnhem (Netherlands). Lincoln on the Saturday is now a U21s side. Will a Reading side still be going to Met Police on Friday night do you know ? OUT for Lincoln now and cant make Boreham tomorrow so might go to Met...

There were plenty of bars in Lille yes, just none full of fans they were all spread out in small groups (all the bars near my apartment, 5 minutes from the main square were open).

Also Russia have announced you won't need a visa during the 2018 WC.

The police in Lille were shutting pubs down just for having big groups of England fans, no singing, no nothing, which was causing the groups from such pubs to be on the streets, the groups getting bigger and singing began, well done French police :lol: (not that singing is an issue!). No trouble at ...

I was there. England fans aren't perfect but we are not to be blamed for this one. First night the locals attacked. Second the Russians. Game day I was drinking down a side street away from the mass crowd in a smaller amount of England fans, 20 locals appeared out of a side street, started bottling ...

Norwich is a good day out and closer than Newcastle) If you're traveling 4 hours anyway, you might as well travel 5 and go to Newcastle If Newcastle go down I will be pleased, I loved my away day there a few seasons back. Will definitely be in for a couple of days up there. Newcastle is a great pla...
