See? A pink bus. How useful is that?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Ha, I will say one thing, and that is that Rome was probably the most graffitied city I've ever seen. They tag everything, even the ancient monuments. Bizarre that it's allowed to happen. Even Reading, and quite possibly its ******* twin, Slough, don't have that much graffiti.

God, yes, I'd forgotten that; they do tag everything.

Watch the street vendors, too. One of them tried to charge me 5 euros for a bottle of Coke.

And it's also full of Americans.

I'm just glad we don't have rumblestix anymore.

Common ground, assuming what you call rumble sticks we call clackers.

Not the dreaded clackers

 

[theroyal]

They were two inflatable sticks that you bashed together. It looked worse than it sounded.

We had "clappers" last year, which was basically concertinaed paper, they made a right racket.

There isn't many things the club have done to make me cringe, and I hate that expression, but putting clackers out for our Play off semi against our biggest rival was right up there.

Oh dear

A bit The Wind Beneath My Wings-ish

While hilarious ... this fills me with a deep deep sadness.

It's got a verse, a pre-chorus, a chorus, a rap, another verse, a rap, a chant and finishes on an acapella.

Verse 1
We started when all the odds defied us
Through passion and dreams we reached new heights
We were marching proudly from Elm Park into the stadium
We forced our rivals to make way

pre chorus
Now we’re here and we’re strong, we’re going to bring it on
Can you hear when we shout come on

chorus
We will fight til the end, they call us the Royals
With our might we’ll defend, the glory of Reading
Like the kings of our land, they call us the Royals
Let us sing every man, we stand by the Royals

Verse 2
We rise to the challenge of our rivals
We’re fighting the butterflies tonight
It’s our moment, feel the expectations rising
We smell a victory today

Rap
How we love the thrill of a good game
How we like the smell of the fame
Doesn’t matter if we learn or win
Unstoppably we burn within
Getting ready to shed our sweat
Everybody get ready and set
Let’s celebrate tonight. Our blood is blue our wings are white.

chant
Blue and white, blue and white, blue and white
Give us blue and white, blue and white. Everybody come on.


Acapella
Like the kings of our land. they call us the Royals
Let us sing every man, we stand by the Royals



...presumably to the tune of Sloop John B.

No reference to Robert Maxwell I see...

Yes crackers

I couldn't take more than 19 seconds of that.
Poor Reading supporters.

A forum on which I freely admitted it was a little sad. I was just playing around. I thought my song was quite creative!

Yes, the song and the club are an embarrassment.

Quickest backtrack ever after being so easily found out.
Embarrassing.

Oh well

 

[TSB]

They've made a chant for us!

"Blue and white
Blue and white
Blue and white
Give us blue and white"

...

No?

 

[Leyton Gull]

Hope it back fires. The Royals are looking too good as we stutter, throwing away 4 points in panic.

They've won one of their four home games (failing to score twice) and are six points behind us. Had we taken four extra points, they'd be TEN behind us.
By what measure are they looking too good?

 

[WhingForPresident]

The bird singing would definitely get it.

 

[Bladders]

Probably the worse song I've ever heard...
