How TINPOT were Reading?

[Reading Dave]

Thanks for your feedback anyway. You guys are great.

Glad we can put this one to bed now that we've established our two-bob outfit, in our dreary town, with our laughably small and quiet support doesn't even feature on your radar.

Is denial a common trait in Brighton?

 

[Simster]

You can run along now.

Reading are the Wigan of the South*
Shiny new, half empty stadiums in non-football towns. Silent fans. Goal music.




*without the cup success and the likeable manager.

Obviously.

Yawn. Go away stop posting drivel just to be noticed.

Maybe if we play each other in play offs we will remember Reading has a football club.

I remember reading a theory once that, historically, the British hated the French, but had a grudging respect for them because the French hated them back with just the same venom. The British hated the Germans because the Germans kept saying that they and the British were so alike and could be friends. Palace are France. If you would like to be Germany feel free.

Brighton are not like Reading. The clubs may be of similar size and have similar league histories, but the clubs are not alike because of the make up of the fans. Brighton fans are reflective of the people of Sussex & Brighton. They are stubborn, arrogant, argumentative, arrogant, difficult, arrogant, cosmopolitan, arrogant, fiercely parochial, and above all, yet more arrogant.

You can't be us because you haven't got the sea and the Downs, you can't be us because you don't call people from outside your county 'foreigners', you can't be us because you don't look down your nose at everyone else, regardless of whether or not you have any reason to. You can't be us because you don't honestly believe that Reading is better than London.

You get opposition fans like Dave here trying to manafacture some kind of spat when their own club has no one that really resembles a proper rival.

Liverpool right now, and Manchester City, tinpot tracksuits.

Erm :| I've already said that the Reading fans have got absolutely no beef with Brighton, so in what way am I trying to manafacture (sic) a spat?

And lol @ the idea of us not having a proper rivalry, you obviously don't know about our feud with MK Dons.

This is a brilliant post I almost wish I had written it myself.

Personally I think its a bit of a shame that the thick-eared rules of football state that we have to give stick to the 1000 that made the trip rather than the countless thousands that didn't. But then again... meh

"Countless thousands" were talking about reading not Barcelona.

Is it true that in Brighton, if you sleep with a woman, you're considered queer?

Keep taking those pills, you may live another few years.........

Enjoy your summer holidays, we're going to the play off's.

Remind me, serious question when was the last time Reading didn't bottle it in the play off?

 

[Readingfc106]

Nobody likes a chip on the shoulder, let's face it. However, at least certain clubs with delusions of grandeur have actually had some grandeur about them in years gone by - Wolves, West Brom, Stoke City, Leicester City, Derby County etc. Begs the question, where has Brighton's shoulder chip been earned? For the life of me, I can't tell where...I mean, ffs, even Swindon and Oxford have a major trophy to their name!!

 

[Readingfc106]

We don't usually need the play off's.
