:lol:

I was quite surprised he came out & said that. You'd think he'd try to play it down rather than put massive pressure on himself.

I want to have a threesome with Kate Winslet and Halle Berry.

Doesn't mean I reasonably expect it'll ever happen....

It does feel like there's more expectation than ever before to get promoted (much as I try to put it to the back of my mind).

I see no reason why we won't amass around the 70 point mark this time around which might be enough for top 6, definitely top 8-10.

Hah! Were you even a Reading fan the last time we were lower than 10th in the Championship?

I was at Moss Rose was it 13 years ago now, pissing down with rain, in the bottom four in what now is League One getting beat 2-1 by a frankly shite Macclesfield Town team. Therefore I'm not bothered about being in the Chump. I think we will win it though!

Well, i for one am delighted that Nigel wants to win the league, surely that's better than wanting to get relegated?
