One of the benefits of Reading’s plastic stadium on an industrial
estate just off the M4 is that one does not need to go into Reading to
get there or get away from there. Reading is not a place anyone would
want to linger in.

It is not as decrepit as some post-industrial northern hell-holes or
Swindon but even Swindon has some character. Reading has none.


It is largely a modern creation, situated on the banks of the upper
Thames, the sidings of the high speed western railway and the hard
shoulder of the M4. A town without heritage or culture.


One can have a violent reaction to Liverpool and be revolted by
Sunderland but Reading is altogether more scary. It is like a lifeless
planet whose atmosphere is entirely made up of inert gasses. Whereas
Wigan and Wales are places that people come from, Reading is a place to
which people go and from which they don’t return.


It is easy to be confused by the antiseptic nothingness of Reading
and think that it is harmless but it saps hope from those who visit. It
is a corrupting place. It is godforsaken.


Reading supporters don’t just come from Reading but from the green
counties that surround it. This is Cameron-world, the happy valleys of
Chipping Norton and around where newspaper executives ride their police
horses and text Prime Ministers. Supporters from these leafier areas
came to see rugby at the Madjeski and stayed on to watch football.


Leave your Barbours and red trousers at home for fear of being mistaken for one of them.


Remember that, however innocuous Reading supporters appear, they were
the frenzied mob who jeered Petr Cech for having been the victim of a
murderous assault by that Reading legend Stephen Hunt.


The weather on Wednesday will be, like Reading, mild, wet and windy.

Please don’t stop to buy a half and half scarf. If there is a market
for souvenir scarves (and sadly there does, sad0ly, appear to be one)
why can’t those scarves be Chelsea scarves with the name of the match on
it? The wearing of opposing team’s colours is offensive, not funny and
diminishes us all.

I do feel sorry for the true chelsea fans... not none of their faults how the clubs run.

Cheers... it's a nightmare at the moment.. so painful to see your club be torn about by people who haven't a clue what they where doing. Especially from the best night in our history back on the 19th May 2012, it's all gone horribly wrong since. The fans are making their views known, plenty of abuse towards fatty even when we were 2 goals up last night, the problem is that nobody cares what we have to say. We sold out yesterday at the Madjeski, but plenty of our fans opted to just stay at home. I know many people (including myself) who have given up season tickets or have just plainly refused to go until Benitez is out of our club. We could of lost 4-0 under Di Matteo yesterday and it would have been better than this.

Absolutely terrible tactics from fatty aswell. Mata should have been replaced by a Defender for starts, Benayoun is useless. In our game when we were 2-0 down at Swansea , he decided to take off Azpillicueta for Ferreira (Defender for Defender) on 80 minutes. Yesterday, when we were 2-0 up he decided to swap striker for striker. Ridiculous.

Whilst I kind of understand the fans being against Rafa, its not really all his fault IMO, I'm sure Roman made him a very attractive offer which would be hard to turn down, and to be fair at the start you guys were scoring 4/5 + goals a game.

Whilst even reading fans were abit confused at his subs last night, Chelsea players started to look soppy at around 85 mins, I think the players can take some of the blame for conceding 2 goals, especially readings 2nd with 3 un marked reading players is abit of a school boy error.

As a reading fan said earlier on a forum

I don't particularly like Benitez, but a tad hard to blame that on him last night.

Surely the players must take the responsibility for that lapse in concentration - the marking for the equaliser was absolutely abysmal.

Just spent £110 on flights to Amsterdam for the last 16 of the Europa League. Only issue is that we haven't qualified yet.. and neither have Ajax. Lol

So Ajax throw away a 2-0 lead at home and loose on Penalties. Booked flights and the Hilton hotel for a conbined £280. Know 200 others going anyway, furthest I've gone to watch a match on TV.

What a time in the season to suddenly hit form, but what else would you expect under a Billy Davies side? Never wanted him sacked in the first place, neither did the fans considering we had been playing our best football in a decade!

It's been a great weekend of results for us at the top of the table and next up we have the chance to ruin Brightons promotion chances at home....feels good to be a Forest fan again after what we've been through over the last couple of years!

EDIT: Don't want to double post so I'll just slot this in here.
