genomebobby1413 Can't help but think that there are so many Reading fans who are so joyless, cynical and pessimistic I wonder why they actually support Reading and even watch sport, can't be much fun.
I have no affiliation or particular likeness for Man United (or any PL club), however I do think that part of the "magic of the cup" is getting drawn against some unknown team, it's exciting to see who we'll get. I'm glad we got Man United rather than say Preston, Huddersfield, etc... or another club in our league.
As it turns out:
we are playing one of the biggest clubs in the world
against one of the most famous coaches
Jaap Stam is going back to Old Trafford
We will have a large allocation so anyone who wants a ticket is going to get one
it's a decent night out if that's your thing
We actually have a half decent chance of beating them with the way things have been over the last few years
I think fans and supporters just need to take the cup for what it is, a fantastic competition, and not get so bogged down in being negative. So all this "Oh that's us out", "What a sh*t draw, I'm out", attitude is just being a fun hover.
Agreed. Imagine turning your nose up at playing one of the biggest clubs in the world. We're Reading ffs
We already have to play Brighton twice this season, so this game just pales to insignificance
