In the bottom three, not long out of the Prem, just goes to show how fortunes can be reversed.

I care nothing for either club but I feel for the fans. We all know only too well what abject failure and fall from grace feels like.

Hmmm. I feel sorry for fans of clubs being screwed over by unscrupulous owners- which isn't actually all that many of the ones who've ended up in financial trouble really- but laughing at other teams' misfortunes on the pitch is what football is all about. A bit of schadenfreude is part of the game. Would be dull otherwise.
Do I feel sorry for Reading's fans because their team has been shit lately? Absolutely not, I find it highly amusing. Wasn't that long that we could only look on with envy at their set up and on-field success, and their ability to pinch the likes of Sidwell and Coppell from our grasp.
Well screw them, the worm has turned, and now it's our go. We've put up with more grief than most over the last twenty years and I for one plan to enjoy every minute of the current high period. Let Reading curse and moan and look on enviously at us for once. Feel pity for them? Not on your life.

I think you're missing my point. I care not for the Brummys and Reading but I ponder with some trepidation what a fickle mistress football can be. I am Whoozey with success, I swoon at the championship table and would happily perform any act of abject degradation if Mr Poyet asked it of me (probably in the manner of Lord Percy from Blackadder). Nevertheless, I am a realist, and I worry that if the two aforesaid clubs can fall from grace in such spectacular fashion then could this happen to us? Of course it could, but perhaps the only way to deal with these concerns is to cast them aside and live in the present. Altogether now: "strawberry blond, your having a laugh" and "Where's the sea, where's the sea, where's the sea?"

Edna-the humble,the honest,the compassionate,the humility within me,asks to go with the - lets remember where we came from,not go above our station,be nice.
The devil however has knocked at my door,and has said come out to play,bring the Albion along for a while....
I asked God and he said it's fine,you will always return home,fear not,enjoy yourself and have fun,for i gave you free will-however-remember cause and effect,just as Edna has pointed out....God finally said there are those who don't wish to let you give green bar to the posts of quality at present,that's the way it shall be,unless it is not...i told God,i would give positive rep to Edna anyway....God? well she smiled approvingly.
Never (unless youre top!) look at the table until ten games at least!!

Too right, we've suffered enough no harm in enjoying the reversal of fortunes, nothing wrong in that at all
