Re: World Cup 2026

Wow! That's a lot of effort to not disprove anything I typed even when only quoting selective parts of it. :shock: Nah, it was a cut & paste job. Very little effort. Took about two minutes. It really was this bit..." It's the rest of the public with limited knowledge of football who get dr...

Re: New Kits 17/18

Winston Biscuit
Sanguine Bit confusing that Celtic, who play in green and white, have released a, erm, green and green away kit. :|



assume it helps them justify a 3rd kit


They could make the 3rd white & white hoops

Re: World Cup 2026

I really don't get this idea of fans (or even the media these days) overhyping England. You hear all the time about how fans have wildly unrealistic expectations, but that's only true if "we might not be disappointingly crap this time" is classed as wildly unrealistic these days. The idea...

Re: Danny Williams - Huddersfield

I wish Williams the best of luck in his career should it be away from Reading. I think he wanted to go up with us, hence his emotion at the end of the game. I've always liked him, sure there's a few things of his game which frustrate me, but to compare him to HRK is insulting. DW is a much better p...

Re: World Cup 2026

Qualifying is just getting to be a total waste of time now for the likes of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, England etc. Just give them byes straight to the final and avoid the utter boredom of pointless games (and in England's case the media and fan overhype and then overreaction to each performanc...

Re: Royals on the Box/Internet Thread

Have any UK nobbers figured out what sort of setup it requires - what proxy works? Do you need a foreign bank account/address? Guess it may be a case of waiting until the first game of the season to see what works? So - I logged on to the Reading website using a fairly standard proxy and was able t...

Re: Do you have another team?

2nd team: FC Saturn Ramenskoye, our local team in Russia. I don't get to many games but it's some compensation for missing Reading games occasionally. They are now back up to the 3rd tier after some financial issues saw them thrown out of the Premier League and into the 5th tier (someone even wrote ...

Re: Good luck Huddersfield and Who actually cares that we're not going up?

Gutted that we lost in another playoff final, but as for the Premier League, who cares?. I just want all the razzmatazz of a playoff win, the celebrations, the knees-up, the missing from work for 3 days because I'm too drunk, the taste of blood. The fact that we won't be entertaining plastic Man Ci...

Re: How Nervous Are We All?

Getting nervous now. Pre-game arrangements not helping at all. Waiting for family to arrive at terminal 4. Will dump them in a taxi to reading, leave car at Heathrow & grab a taxi. It'll cost, but best chance of getting to Wembley in time to hand on tickets to 2 guys from Switzerland and another...

Re: How are you getting to Wembley?

Usual Wembley routine:
drive to Beaconsfield
park at station
