NR_Royal Judging from the stream:
Robson-Kanu managed to impress me tbh, although I would have rather seen Antonio and McAnuff on the wings from the start.
sandman Mills standards are so low he's in the league's 4th best defence. I'm sure this constant unwarranted criticism of him has nothing to do with what happened on the 16 March 2010. As I said on the Doncaster match thread he's doing fine.

Poor, poor performance in a dreadful game of football and we're really fortunate to be in the draw today. We seemed to get dragged down into a physical, long ball fest and we had precious little quality to raise our head above the parapet of mediocrity on display. Thankfully, we do have some genuine quality in McAnuff who produced our one decent cross of the game and Long in this form won't waste a chance like that, bundled home and we're through. Some really lame performers for Reading; Karacan gives the ball away like it is going out of fashion, Church poses absolutely no threat in front of goal these days sadly and HRK probably wouldn't get in the Stevenage team on that evidence yesterday. Mills had a marginally improved performance on his recent low standards, although he was on the backfoot again for their goal. Fair play to Reading - we played poorly but McD's side always seems to have this resilience.
RoyalBluebiscuitman I'm sure when we sang 'We've got one stand louder to you're ground' to Man United fans they cried home and thought we were arrogant. It's banter for god sake. Are you really going to dissect every chant that happens in football royalblue?? What did you think about the Stacy song yesterday?
But, for the hard of hearing, it wasn't one stand louder that was being sung yesterday (at least in our section of the stand). It was one stand bigger than your ground. To my mind that its unnecessary arrogance of the type that many of our own support have grumbled about in the past when directed at us.
And there's banter and banter isn't there. Some is funny, some so-called 'banter' is bang out of order, although I'm sure some having a go at a female linesman purely on the grounds of her sex might claim it was still just banter! Of course, the stand song isn't in that league but I still hold the view it has tones of arrogance when directed at a club like Stevenage (as do descriptions of their ground being crap, whereas 'my garden shed' sung at Watford doesn't.
And no I'm not going to dissect every chant - that's a pretty dumb argument to advance when I have only mentioned this one. As for the Stacey song, we started that in our section, so I think you have your answer.
sandman He was colossal against Hull - last minute tackle at the end was superb

A tackle he had to make because he let his man get the wrong side of him. Mills has been consistently outperformed by a lad from the Academy this season, Mr Pearce.
sandman Mr Pearce who, I seem to remember was also abused by many as useless. I guess, now people can't moan about Pearce or Long and Howard's not in the team you've moved on to Mills.

Your holier than thou attitude is f*cking tiresome. I'd take Howard in the team over Karacan any day, as it happens.
sandman And now you're getting abusive. You call Mills a thug for giving the east the middle finger and then start swearing at me.

As I said, holier than thou. Perhaps a bit unfair to call Mills a thug for his actions.....ignorant chav would have sufficed.
parky Wheyy, spotted myself in the grey hood in the third picture, reading fans in that end must have been really conspicuous.
RoyalBlueWycombe RoyalRoyalBlue e.g. 'We've got one stand bigger than your ground', whilst vaguely amusing does show complete disregard for our roots.
It's just banter, nothing more, nothing less.
It its banter taking the p*ss out of the standard of their facilities that are still better than ours were not that long ago.
When really big teams did (do?) it to us, there were lots of our supporters that understandably regarded it as arrogance.

I'm not being holier than thou. I can see how you're confusing greatness with a holier than thou attitude I had no choice when it came to being great. I just am great. I'm not trying to sound cocky or full of myself, but I have a sneaking suspicion that no matter what comes my way I will always be great. Because that's just the way sh1t works sometimesand there's no point in you bitching and moaning about it.
