Was that the game you turned?

Serious question, genuinely interested. It seems you were a Reading fan as a youngster?

Apart from using the 'Img' button is there another way of putting pictures on? As someone else mentioned, the pictures are far too big on this thread. On other forums using the same format as HNA you have the option of 'attachments' so does anyone know why it's not available here? Cheers :)

Just forum rules. Easiest way is to upload to Imageshack or equivalent

No, I supported Chelsea way before this. Used to see reading a fair bit as some of my m8s support them and my m8s mum worked in the players bar on match days at elm park so got in free on many occasions.

Nice one.

So do you have a soft spot for Reading? Surely you must to hang around these parts a few hours every day :P
