Huckleberry Hound Bloke behind me had a surprising amount of hatred for Reading. He spent most of the match shouting abuse at the Clock End.


And, apparently, he also has a problem with chronometers.

I won't go as I am sick of plastic Arsenal fans taking up tickets my last trip to the Emirates some bloke had his 2 kids wearing Arsenal shirts in the Reading section. which is taking the piss. When I reported them to the stewards they said as they were kids they were doing no harm and I was nearly thrown out for telling them to f...k off when they celebrated Arsenals goals. So I shall stay at home and let some plastic gooner have my place.

£10 tickets, half term, away at Arsenal. I can see us taking a second allocation.

Not only do we have a 0% record against Arsenal (a defeat AET is still a defeat) but we've generally been unlucky in the cup-ties against them - there's only been a couple where we felt well-beaten / couldn't have won on another day.

Mind you we are getting better against them if the last game was anything to go by. Really could have nicked that SF game in 90 minutes but for a bad decision by Mackie in the last few minutes.

You could also say Arsenal could have been comfortable but for the post and crossbar getting in the way.

Lol, you might as well say that Arsenal would've been comfortable if they scored every time they took a shot. They didn't, so it's kind of a moot point.

That was precisely the point I was making.

As is saying if Feds didn't oxf*rd up we would have taken it to pens.

He did and we didn't.

Sat in Walkabout for early game today and also later after Reading game.

The amount of plastic loud Arsenal "fans" was a joke.

I heard two behind me say "Did Reading play today?", response "dunno, don't care about that shit club".

Same two then spent the whole time calling Chelsea c*nts (true) and celebrating like it was a cup final.

Behaviour and "fans" of big clubs like this makes me wish even more that we (finally) beat Arsenal. Like in the semi final we lost it was galling having work colleagues and friends gloat as they sat at home watching the game on tv, not to mention the 5-7 game.

Our time will come and let's fuking hope it's on 25th October.

Had exactly the same the first day back at work after the game, you'd think going to extra time against a team struggling in the Championship you'd be a bit sheepish in victory, nope not the TV watching Arsenal fans.

My work colleague says he is a MASSIVE Arsenal Fan. He apparently always has the latest shirt, and never misses them on TV. Last season he even made it to a game. Huge fan he is

I remember on the way out of Wembley there was one fan giving it large that they would be going to the Final and we wouldn't be.

Yeah, congratulations, you made really hard work of a shit Championship team you normally stuff, scraping a win in extra time thanks to a goalkeeping howler. Party on. We enjoyed our trip to Wembley thanks.

Not to mention the racist alcoholic arsehole on the tube on the way who decided to try and start something with some of our fans, who tried to claim we'd never even been to Wembley.

I remember this fat middle aged Arsenal fan on the bus after the 7-5 cup game, giving it large about how shit Reading were. Just what we needed, an in-depth tactical analysis of our defensive qualities, delivered with lots of swearing and aggression when it was pointed out that his side had just leaked 5 goals so were hardly special in that area either.

That 7-5 was the best game ive ever seen. As disappointing/heartbreaking as the result was.
Incredible stuff.
