I told them my name on the plaque should read "F*ck off egg-chasers" Well worth £20.

I find it very difficult to believe that Lanna GoIF could have been worse than the team Brighton put out against us last December.

At 102 yards. Just been bored and looking at pitch sizes. Reading have the shortest pitch and nearly the narrowest in the Prem. I wonder if they'll get hammered away from home quite a bit as some of the pitches are at least 10ft longer! Our pitch is 102 metres long, not 102 yards. Tis indeed ------...

Well, I saw it and you beat me by one minute. Bastard.

There was a thread a couple of weeks ago about how he was here for a week's trial and staying at the hotel. Can't find it now, though.

I think Kitson has it dead right. To take one example at random on the John Halls thread (and apologies to Jackson Corner for picking on him when really I should have dug out a post from the likes of John Peel): The word you are looking for is lazy. And I agree his atitude is not what it should be. ...

Hideous.

Wasn't going to buy one anyway, though, so I'm not part of the target market. (If you are part of the target market, and this is really what you want, then there is something seriously wrong with your brain.)

Only one Trevor Morley des deux internationaux suédois

That is, two Swedish internationals, not that you were in doubt about which two they meant.

Pretty sure the club said at some stage it was "about 70".

Jay NOTW say £4.2m bid made and player aware and welcomes interest from Premier League. I just don't see us spending that sort of money on one player when we're bitching over paying arguably our best player 18k a week. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised!

Glen Little wants 18k a week?

Top Flight I remeber us singing:

You're so bad you sank at Aldershot!

Aldershot actually were a credible rival at one time!

I was a kid at that time and I thought the fans were singing:

You're so bad your savaloosho!! (Whatever that was, didn't make any sense)

Still haven't got it right, I see.

RFCSinceBury1971 Thats what I can remember. Seems so long ago now. Charlie Hurley became our manager in 1972 I think. Correct me if im wrong.

You're right about 1972, but I reckon the chant took a while longer.

RFCSinceBury1971 R-E-A-D-I-N-G Reading are the team for me, la la la.

That was exactly what I was going to write. (But there should be a pause between A and D, and then nine "la"s.)

Surely the "Charlie Hurley's blue and white army" chant didn't come into existence until about 1975, by the way?

stupid question....did the AST start this season or were AST's available in previous seasons? If so, I knew nothing of it and Ive been to almost every RFC home game and a large number of away games for 30 years. Alot of RFC fans I speak to say the same. I guess demand isnt as high in previous seaso...

Nick Shorey my Lord! Would this be the first time we've played foreign opposition in the UK since then?

Yes.

FEYENOORD AGAINST CHELSEA AND READING Chelsea come to the tank.

That would be "The Tub".

Presumably the "cow man" thing is just "team"?
