strangely the madejski has always been a bit of a difficult place to come to whatever league we were in for any team, I recall us doing a few so called big teams last time we were in the premier league.

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

He made a good point tonight. The Madejski Stadium is too nice a place to come. The fans aren't very boisterious, the scenery is nice, nice pitch etc.. Big clubs will come here and feel very comfortable.

Warnock has a different view!!!

[West Stand Man]

Well this season, he reckons we are going to get relegated

Has he forgotten he's supposed to be a Reading fan? Judas pcunt.

You mean like all the Reading fans on here who routinely forecast doom as well?

They said the same thing last time, and we did ok, even against the bigger teams.

That said, I know we have a weaker team in terms of quality now.

05/06/07 we had a load of free transfers, and cheap buys, most of whom werent considered anywhere near the best in the championship when we got them in.

this time weve got players with prem experience, along with some of the best players taken from other championship clubs.

i dont think its that clear cut and we wont know till we see em play

tbf i think savages views are colored by the ovation given by us when he retired

we can be mean and nasty when we want to

grrr

[Devon royal]

can anyone recall us being really nasty to anyone other than Warnock?

[melonhead]

yes.

[Devon royal]

go on then who?

[ZacNaloen]

Pardew

[sandman]

Mcghee

[melonhead]

i remember we were particularly mean to loads. they usually score when we do it, so its just best not to


not to mention our ex managers

[Alexander Litvinenko]

Yes, but it always takes something to trigger it off - a dive, a bad foul, a poor refereeing decision etc. We don't support noisily - we react to injustices (perceived or otherwise) and then make a noise.

The "anti-something" noise is always much louder, and involves far more people, than the pro-Reading noise - and the latter is pretty rare except in a few areas of the stadium.

[melonhead]

but that was what savage was talking about, not pro something noise
