I think I'd make do with one set of crocs if it meant holidaying outside Cornwall, and to hell with the consequences.

Or, as I think young Liam has realised, if you are going to holiday in Cornwall, you should at least use the money alloc8d for an additional pair of crocs for some wellies, a kag in a bag, and some whisky.

Reasons to be cheerful:-

1) Reading are starting to pass the ball more fluently, rather than playing the hoofball of previous years.
2) Generally we look good counter attacking away from home.
3) Obita at left back looks excellent.
4) It turns out that Gunter can play football.
5) I just won the Kenyan lottery and can afford to buy the club (once I have provided all my details as requested).

The law of averages says we will have better luck next season with injuries and whatever the press say it does have an impact - injuries affect all sides regardless of squad size eg look at Arsenal since they lost 4 key midfielders.

We have been extremely unlucky in midfield and 2 main defenders out for half the season - cannot remember a season like it for years.

I'd really rather it said that I live in Sheffield.

It makes me feel separate from them.

Hammond said “I would guess that their disappointment this season is a little more about what was promised and hasn’t come to fruition.

“But we can’t get ourselves bogged down with that, we have to deal with the now and the reality of our situation at the moment.

“And what that is, is a very positive football environment because of the success of our U18s and U21s and with five games to go, the first-team are in a play-off position
.”

Fair play.

liamobey Oh totally agreed, it's just I like to spend my small disposable income on T Shirts and Crocs.....which is ironic because you can't wear either on a rainy holiday.


How many pairs of crocs do you have? If it is more than one, could you explain the reasoning behind this?
(You can never have too many t-shirts, I think everyone accepts that)


Only 3. . . Different colours ennit.

Can't wear red crocs with maroon chino's
Can't wear blue crocs with denim


I was just going to 'gree with those who've pointed out that we're in the playoff places with our destiny in our own hands but now that I'm picturing Liam in maroon chinos and (non red) crocs there's nothing else important in the world :lol:

Reading have drifted to nearly 2/1 to finish in the top 6.

Effectively that is saying from this position we would be expecting to finish in the playoffs once in every three attempts. I would expect better than that with the two point head start, our experience of handling pressure, and the fact Leicester & Burnley will both be already up by the time we meet them.

IN for £50 8)


This will make me cheerful when we get in the play offs and I'm better off

Renewals are the same price as last season aren't they? What's the difference for new STH's?

Bournemouth to win promotion at 14/1 seems better
