Can you rent a room in Reading with a sink you can piss in, and get a cooked breakfast with tinned tomatoes and fried bread for £12 or less? Thought not, case dismissed.

Thick Forest Fan Yes, felt like a defeat, but would have taken that result at 3pm.
But really, even though our record there isn't good, I consider Reading a third division club playing above their natural level and expect a win every time we go there.
Just me I suppose.
Not a bad day out though.

Forest Mug Just got back and I feel like we've lost. We worked our socks off this afternoon in the face of a number of challenges that the referee ignored and on a poor pitch.
Samba - 7 - I've only seen their goal in real time and I don't believe it was his fault. He had a good game and crosses into the area that we used to dread are no longer a worry with Samba.
Cash - 7 - had a good game and got some meaty tackles in...I don't know who allowed the cross.
Figs - 7 - decent game...able to carry the ball out of defence which helps our midfield hugely.
Worrall - 7 - very solid, won loads in the air..
Chema - 7 - until he got cramp he was doing OK...I still think Rebeiro is a better full back but Chema sticks at it....and is better than Robinson, who wasn't even on the bench...
Ribeiro - 6 - he works hard but isn't a midfield player...he's a full back..
Watson - 7 - I know he's only got one gear but he did put a shift in and did score.
Silva - 6 - it was a bit too physical for him today. Adam was a twat and Silva got no protection whatsoever from an appalling referee,
Sow - 8 - immense....took on Adam..and everybody else. If only we can keep him fit...
Amoebi - 6 - had a really good first half but faded.
Grabban - 7 - ran himself into the crowd but it must be so hard playing up front by yourself....I know Stan Collymore did it but Grabban doesn't have the physique or pace of Stan. Should have scored in the 2nd half.
Subs:
Lolley - 6 - started well..then faded...he must be carrying an injury.
Yates - 6 - I though he did OK - he added some beef to our midfield.
Jenkinson - 5 - obviously not the ideal person to bring on but as Chema has cramp Sabri had no choice.
Our fans: Yes we sold our allocation but there was a row of 10 seats near us with no-one in them....how come? I thought our fans were quiet today.
The refereee: he was awful...the original home referee....why don't we get them at the City Ground.
There's a pub right outside the station, good choice of beers & decent food.

We’ve had three seasons in the PL since they were last in it. They’ve been in L1 more recently than us. We’re 18? seasons in a row above the third tier.
Can’t argue with two European Cups though - won on the back of just one league title.

Only 11 behind the record.
Let's be honest, they had one of the top five greatest managers this country has ever produced. He took them to heights that they never really had before and are very unlikely to ever have again.
Bar those years of Clough genius, which very few if any other managers would be able to achieve, they've had a pretty average history, bar an FA Cup in the 1890s and another in the 1950s.

URZZZZZZZZ Comments like the above though are just nonsensical. This is a club that are dining out on a three year spell forty years ago, and let’s not forget they haven’t been in the top flight for over 20 years now. They also spent some of today’s game singing about how ‘magic’ they are - delusions of grandeur much?

Singing about an era so long ago that it was when Michael Jackson was himself an abused child, as if it means they ought to be beating us on the pitch...
One day fans will realise that 'history' doesn't win football matches. Yeah, we don't have a lot to sing about, but unlike most of their fans, at least we don't have to sing about stuff that happened before we were born.

Snowflake Royal I can see the view he gave us a lot of soft fouls. I don't remember him getting many foul decisions wrong. Although Forest could maybe point to Puscas hitting a player in the face before jumping as a red...
The stats certainly show he gave a lot of fouls against Forwst and their players were pissed about it.
Our complaints revolve around a couple of calls on corners or the ball going out, which are more a linesman issue and always difficult to tell, with the officials almost always better positioned to tell. Meite's penalty call, which looked a bit dubious to me and from the ref's angle would be near impossible to call, and then mainly his complete lack of cards for Sow despite 4 fouls that warranted one, plus Watson getting away with one or two before eventually getting booked too.

windermereROYAL Lots of name calling on twitter about how irrelevant we are, so irrelevant in fact they have to go on social media and tell everyone, weird.
Sometimes wonder what we`ve done to upset so many sets of fans?
They are still living on European cup triumphs on black and white tv
