Sidwell's return: How you'll react?

[Compo's Hat]

Quick poll to what people will be doing when Steve Sidwell's name is read out.

[Chaney]

we will be too busy booing one of our own players to bother with him

[seahawk10]

I will be applauding him from my couch.

[Jerry St Clair]

Where's the option for "indifferent"?

Where's the option for "indifferent"?

pretty much how I feel. thanks for sticking to your contract sidwell, no love loss, no hate gained. he owes alot to reading (and coppell) for his career, and reading owe him alot for how he was a part of a very successful side.

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

I suspect on seeing him I shall lose control of all my motor functions, leaving my head lopsided and a small permanent tear slowly dripping from one eye.

or I doubt Ill care that much.
One of the two.

[Behindu]

Do what we always do when an old player returns - round of applause before the game, ironic cheers when he's sent off.

applause before, boo every touch of the ball. Same as always with a returning hero.

[The whole year inn]

Some mild Frimley-esque frothing at the mouth

[Coppells bit on the side]

i hate the greedy ginger twat

however, i will act indifferently

[wehateoxford]

applaud him, in respect for what he did for us. From now on though, im indifferent to him

[Geekins]

Stand up and clap for Steve Sidwell during the warm up, nothing during the game.

[Lieutenant Pigeon]

What are the odds on Harper shouting 'Jacks!' as Sidders is about to receive a pass!


C.

[brendywendy]

will clap his name
just becuase he never got a proper send off

after that

open season

[Maguire]

I'll greet his return with some trademark apathy, just as I do everything in my life.

[Cripple Creek]

I'll sing "Stephen Sidwell, you used to play for Reading, and before that you played for Arsenal and then Steve Coppell played you when he was manager for Brentford. You are a kind of link/semi-attacking midfielder and you are 26 but then you moved to Chelsea when your contract came to an end. Hello Stephen."


I have a way with words.

[handbags_harris]

Don't like the bugger, don't agree with the manner he handled his leaving, won't be getting any kind of welcom back from me.

same... to be honest i can't see myself clapping as enthusiastically as i did when curo came back, sidwell could have become a reading legend instead he's just 'one of the guys from the year we made the prem'

[Alan Partridge]

anyone that boos is a (unt. That's all.

[rob the royal]

i think some people will though.

i won't personally, but i think some people will just because he's playing against us and because some people think he could have been more loyal but i don't think it'll be that many and i don't think it will be any more than any player in the chelsea line up.

so all in all i reckon he'll get a mixed reception, but i don't remember anyone booing when cureton came back
