NickD Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 You beat us with Terry or was it Lampard in goal a few years ago, I'm sure wont be a problem I'd say that JT (It was JT) is probably better than Ross Turnbull in goal to be honest.

NickD Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 One of the benefits of Reading’s plastic stadium on an industrialestate just off the M4 is that one does not need to go into Reading toget there or get away from there. Reading is not a place anyone wouldwant to linger in. It is not as decrepit as some post-industrial northern hell-holes orSwindon but even Swindon has some character. Reading has none. It is largely a modern creation, situated on the banks of the upperThames, the sidings of the high speed western railway and the hardshoulder of the M4. A town without heritage or culture. One can have a violent reaction to Liverpool and be revolted bySunderland but Reading is altogether more scary. It is like a lifelessplanet whose atmosphere is entirely made up of inert gasses. WhereasWigan and Wales are places that people come from, Reading is a place towhich people go and from which they don’t return. It is easy to be confused by the antiseptic nothingness of Readingand think that it is harmless but it saps hope from those who visit. Itis a corrupting place. It is godforsaken. Reading supporters don’t just come from Reading but from the greencounties that surround it. This is Cameron-world, the happy valleys ofChipping Norton and around where newspaper executives ride their policehorses and text Prime Ministers. Supporters from these leafier areascame 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 werethe frenzied mob who jeered Petr Cech for having been the victim of amurderous 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 marketfor 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 onit? The wearing of opposing team’s colours is offensive, not funny anddiminishes us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickD Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 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.

NickD Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know 200 others going anyway, furthest I've gone to watch a match on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentez Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 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. Agüero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
