Mr Optimist Loved a chant away at Palace when we won there in a generally woeful 87/88 season when I think we were bottom of the old Second Division and they had a decent side looking to go up.
We won 3-2 iirc and we sang a self-depreciating classic...."What's it like to lose to us????!!, what's it like to lose to us????!!!"""
I like us. We may not be a great side for songs. But we are pretty self deprecating at times and we know where we come from. Hence "We're not real Madrid.." Sums us up perfectly.
We aren't the best or the biggest and we never will be. But we are Reading, with our own qualities and strengths and that is plenty to be proud of.
