TBF if they do get past Bradford, there is zero pressure on Reading for the semi final. At least the players will relax & make the best of their limited footballing abilities. :lol:

I shudder to think what the scoreline will be. Doesn't bear thinking about.

Reading have never lost an F.A. Cup match at Wembley. Believe, people.

bradfordbantam We are chuffed with the draw, because we believe!!!! Oh and we are a bit bloody nuts.......seriously though they are beatable. If we can get past you guys we genuinely believe we can beat them. If we get beat 10 nil, so what? No shame in that against a world class side, if they lose to us though.......again.......squeaky bum time!! :lol:

We got hammered 5-0 by Swansea, we still made a day of it, cheer up you miserable lot!


Our record vs Arsenal is nothing short of diabolical. Also a L1 team getting hammered is to be expected. Championship clubs will put up a fight but we will roll over as per normal.

Well then you owe them! Seriously if you turn up with the attitude of "they've got more to lose than us" you will go a long way. I love being an underdog, no expectations, no pressure, they will be bricking it if they've got Bradford. Not because of our Real Madrid standard players :lol: but because if they lose they are going to get hammered by their fans and the media. I predict a 1-1 draw at your place and we do you on penalties and then you can cheer us on while we shaft the gooners

I'm beginning to think that Bradford are the anti-Reading.

Agree here, but first we have to get through the miserable draw, crap day out, just as well we'll lose to Bradford anyway feelings that will pervade given the season we've had so far

Should we beat Bradford it'll then be an expectation that we'll probably get convincingly stuffed but let's give it a damn good go as we have nothing to lose and our appalling record against them has to change at some point so why not a showpiece at Wembley of all places.

Still would wish "Wembley" hadn't been rebuilt in such a stupid place and wasn't such a complete rip off in pricing though...

Yeah, when you've never beaten a side and then go 4-0 up with 50 minutes to go, and have held on at 4-2 when the fourth official shows the injury time board, there is that feeling that it will actually never come right when you even manage to oxf*rd that up...

It wasn`t a QF, Bradford sorted them out at that stage

I am pretty despondent after that draw TBH. Anyone but Arsenal.

But I actually think Bradford will do us over next Mon regardless so it matters not.

tidus_mi2 While I'm not optimistic of getting past Arsenal (if we get there), God I'd love to wipe the smug grins off their stupid faces thinking they're already in the final.


Problem is some of your fans have been smug assuming you're already in the semi.

That'll be the fair-weather glory hunters who haven't been in the last couple of seasons since we dropped out of the Sky Super Mega Money Grabbing Premier League. Anyone who assumes we are already in the semi is ignoring our recent home form.
