Just those two, and just their attacks. The defences in this league are pretty bad.

Oh, and Charlton are quite good too.

Not envious of any team, in any league, anywhere in the whole World.

Who's gonna be there or thereabouts?
After 10 games might give a clue, but then again it may not.

Are you envious of any team?
It's absurd, why would you be?

I don't think QPR will be a big threat to us come the end of the season. Wolves and Brum indeed.

I can see what you mean but the players won't just gel straight away may take a while. Next season I think is more realistic for them doing really well.

Wolves do look very good, lots of goals and a strong back four. Kightly a real ace for them.

Not sure I'd swap any squad for ours.

Put it like this, I'd rather support Reading than any other team in the world, so in that respect I envy nobody. However Brum have a better squad than us, Wolves look good, as did Charlton against us. We'll have a better idea around mid-October, but I don't expect it to be easy.

Only Wolves and Brum, can't see us having too many problems matching any other team in this division

I'm envious of Coventry City.

For having an arena.

Derby. You see, they're just such a big club.

In all honesty its amazing that this league is so close, I think most teams have an element of quality somewhere as well as decidedly week areas, going to be an interesting season. Which is great.

Can't ever be envious of Wolves or Birmingham though, I mean they may have good squads, good management and supportive chairmen but would you want to listen to those accents on a daily basis?

Wolves and Brum obvious choices. Bouazza gives Charlton a little extra kick for the Championship IMO. Inate prejudice makes me ignore QPR. Derby are piss poor now and I really can't see them having a Sunderlandesque revival.

Sheff U and Preston are usually there or there abouts. I reckon Donny will be the surprise package.

If I could justify it, I'd perhaps rather support ...

St Pauli
River Plate
Atletico Bilbao

but I'm neither German nor Dago
and born and bred in Reading.
