Does anyone remember one of their play-off final defeats. They were 2-0 up v Bolton, then missed a penalty and ended up losing 4-3.
They are jinxed.

I hope we NEVER play Reading again as they slump into League 1 with their NEW owners wrecking the club

I'm going to quote [MENTION=10202]Not Andy Naylor[/MENTION] here from another post because I agree with him and also know die-hard, life-long Reading fans who were there when they had 5,000 at Elm Park. They're all good blokes, very similar outlooks on football as a lot of people on here and have suffered from their club being passed from owner to owner like some perverse version of pass the parcel. But they support their local club, a fair few are also England regulars and I'm proud to call them mates.

And were in existence for 30 years before Brighton were even a twinkle in the eye of those good men in the Seven Stars Pub.

Quite different as we were all but promoted. It was almost impossible for us to NOT be promoted with the goal difference we had.

I don't feel sorry for them in any way, and they have had enough chances in the Prem, but I can imagine what it would like if it happened to us. The playoffs really make it a long hard slog of a season and you want something for playing until almost June. Teams definately pay the price for not finishing in the top 2 mid April.

Just to clarify, Reading also attract more than their fair share of plastics, for whom I have very little sympathy.
Is it even possible to ever tire of watching that

They have little sympathy from me, long may they suffer.

Hang on Mr Green Cross Code Man, weren't they all but play offs until we pissed on their parade?

No, they thought they were in the playoffs. Quite different from us at the Wigan match where we knew we were beyond all reasonable doubt promoted.

Nope, won't convince me it was any different, and I was dancing about like an idiot on the pitch that day, just like them Reading lot before Ulloa scored at Forest.
Margins between reading being in the playoffs and not was 1 goal, margin between us this season after the wigan game was 30+ goals, quite obvious to see the difference.
