I did but only because they beat Southampton.:ears: Glad they didn't put that team out against us.
Great win today against the Hammers. Bring on Colin's boys next.
Who will get promoted from the Championship ?

I think both Reading and Southampton will gain the automatic promotion spots, and then I hope West Ham come through the play-off's. Got a soft spot for Reading as my brother played for them between 2004 and 2008 and therefore played in the side that won the 2005–06 Championship when they lost only twice and had a league haul of 106 points. The players' private party after their last game at home against QPR was a brilliant night.....from what (little!) I can remember!

Unfortunately it is Rich! Plying his trade at Wrexham now and looks like a right Pikey!! But that Reading side was excellent, and a really good bunch of blokes, particularly Steve Sidwell and Nicky Shorey. Played golf with 7 of them once and the amount of money they were staking on the game (bearing in mind they were only 'championship' players) made me wince!
Remember taking 10 mates to for a weekend in Reading staying at the Madjeski and we went to a game. About 7 of them weren't really into football and stayed in the players lounge both during and for a couple of hours after the game. Apparently we consumed more Guinnes in 4 - 5 hours than what was normally sold in two or 3 months! Hopefully that record still stands today!!

Glen is an absolute legend at Reading, and would get into most supporters all time Reading team. The biggest winger I have ever seen, and with fantastic skills. Having supported Reading since the late 60's, the 2005/6 and 2006/7 seasons were unbelievable.
Sounds like you are a bit of a legend at the Madjeski as well then Paul, even if it is for your drinking skills.

No not me, but some of my mates kept the bar staff very busy that day! Yes brother got the footballing ability; I got the looks and the physique................

Big game tomorrow. Saints away. Winners almost certain to be promoted and likely to win the Championship. Would be more confident if we had a few more fit players after the Leeds game. I understand that the referee at Leeds next game, told one of the Leeds players that he thought they deliberately went out to injure Reading players. Surprise surprise Warnock was outraged by the referee's suggestion, even though they had another player sent off for trying to disembowel a Derby player.

Congratulations to Reading.
Good night for Blackpool too, just 2 points needed from 2 games to secure a playoff place and we do like playoffs.

Ah, I was basing my comment on it looking a lot bigger when I was there last month.

One of the Forest fans put on their fanzine he thought it was really nice that Reading did a pitch invasion for them staying up.
Now I just need to find a way of buying a season ticket without HID finding out.:mmm:

1200, not bad for a week day! We always seem to travel well. Madjeski is a right fart to get to if you don't know the area though! No atmosphere when I went a few years back. Could have been the fact it was a boring 0-0 draw though! Some of the Forest fans were so bored they started fighting with each other!
