I don't want anyone to notice Reading until its too late to do anything about it!

City dropped to third with a draw at Watford on Tuesday, allowing Cardiff to climb up to second.
But 27-year-old Fox remains unconcerned, telling BBC Radio Norfolk: "No-one's put together a great run among the other sides".... Oh. I beg to differ, my Norwich playing friend..

Christ, he doesn't take much notice of what's going on in his league.

7 in a row, mofo!

I think it's ignorance, you'll find he does notice what we're doing.

Come on you Royal Blue's... quietly does it.

Bit unlikely that a player speaking to their local radio station would say "Shit me, have you seen the run Reading are on? The whole squad is bricking it, its getting to the manager and with five games to go we'll be pleased to scrape into the play offs."

I quite like the way Reading are sneaking into the mix understated as usual.

I really oxf*rd hope the Norwich dont get promoted. I have nothing against them as a club but I have lived with a Norwich fan this year and whenever I try and have a discussion about football he just goes on and on and on and on about where they are in the league, how many points they have taken off us and how shit our fans our compared to theirs which he says makes my point not valid and will just shout me down. So I really hope we clinch that second spot from them on goal difference, would just put an even bigger smile on my face!

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE!! With a guy I work with... such a bunch of arrogant fans. My Norwich friends keeps mentioning that Norwich are the only team to beat Bayern Munich at the Olympic Stadium or something... Christ let it go! In 1913 Reading toured Italy and beat Genoa 4–2 and A.C. Milan 5–0, so that must make us favourites to go up.

To be fair their average gate, home and away is better than ours - it's hardly the basis for such arrogance though.

I hate talking to him about the league too! I work with LOADS of Swindon fans, who are great to chat too, but not this Norwich lad.

Like! Ha, maybe I should bang on about that!?!

No, you're quite right, but to suggest that no one up there has put a run together... Even their fans know we have, so why say such a silly thing?

If he ain't Ruel Fox he ain't a Fox worth shit.

Frankly quite happy for Bates and Fox to come out with this shit. It's exactly the sort of motivational stuff to pin up on the wall we need to keep our determination to win every game going and avoid complacency.



Skipper: We also beat the Italian national side and were described as the best team to ever visit Italy in one of their biggest sports papers. Deliver smack down.

Posted it on another thread, but Ken Bates appears to be just as much out of touch regarding us. Suits me fine.
