When 2-1 is a spanking, you know you support a club in the doldrums!

It was tongue in cheek! That game was roughly my 14th home game over a number of years (my BIL was a season ticket holder) and that was the very first time I had seen reading win! My BIL stopped inviting me as i seemed to jinx them! LOL

Haha! I seem to recall it was a thoroughly deserved win and it was also absolutely freezing. Our goal was a belter, but Reading weren't happy about it for some reason or other.

Funnily enough, it was 15 games before I saw Norwich win!

Modern football is not dead. It is however a moral vacuum and more and more people are switching off, particularly those that historically were local to their clubs and keen fans.

Globally though, the audience will continue to grow.

Bump .

What a **** . Sums up modern day footballers completely . He will never know the damage he has caused to this club and fans . Hope he fails miserably and loses his place in the euros . I wouldn't have really cared had he gone last week , but to publicly announce he was staying ..... Guess man city just gave him a decent lump sum to go second time round .
I'd place your mortgages on villa going down this year . The team is completley gone .

Can't believe it to be honest . Twice he has come out with statements of how much he loves the clubs etc . Can't wait to give him hell when he visits villa park .

Modern football is not dead modern football has to be what is now, loyalty is for the vast part dead in football.

The annoying thing about the Delph move is he will hardly play, his England career will go down the pan and he will be back in a top ten team in 3 or 4 years. City only buying him to fill a home grown player slot.
