I agree some of our fans are arrogant and deluded. But this thread seems to be more about the semi-rivalry between two southern clubs. Reading don't particularly like us and we reciprocate. Not really to do with Boro with respect.
There are plenty of well-educated people who enjoy the physical and illegally physical side of contact sports. Kicking an opponent and getting away with it doesn't make you unintelligent. It was the ref who was stupid.
