We’re really seeing hidden depths of revenge and dark thoughts from Madsen re Marti this week - wonder what went on there?
No doubt he’s making him eat his words - the rehabilitation of Madsen is my favourite thing about this season so far. Not only his quick passing and calm on the ball but he put in some great blocks and tackles all game and looked tough using his whole frame. 12 months ago that was nowhere to be seen
Always remember this one Ted - at one point Adel did the old “flick it over your own head” trick and about three Reading players were chasing him around to murder him.
We all got back to the Crown after and were sitting around in a daze going “we’re going up here, aren’t we?”
This was back when Reading were pretty good as well
Got to look at the bus stop down the road - they must have been in the Championship for 5/6 years and kept their nerve with their strategy, they didn’t go wild at the first sign of top six and blow all their cash.
It meant a lot of moaning from their fans at the time (a lot of my old mates, not the wax jacket Chiswick and Richmond Dads that head there now) but it paid off as they went up with a battle hardened team they’d built over five years and then in their first two seasons in the Prem they pretty much kept that same team and did well
No point in lucking into a promotion and then getting dicked and wasting your money (fk me we would know this more than anyone).
Take your time, enjoy it, and go up with a team that you know are good
First ever FA Cup away draw I’ve been interested in going to for years. New ground (if you don’t count watching the Olympics there), easy journey on the overland or whatever it’s called now and I’ve always liked our games with West Ham
Bring in some new bullshitter, get rid of the old guard that call them out, bring in faithful acolytes, bullshitter leaves onto the next big role when their ideas turn out to be bullsh-t.
I came here to post that but I knew someone would have done it already - that mid song breakdown and bassline was the soundtrack to my youth. Never bettered
I was only listening to a podcast yesterday with Mani where he was talking about how his wife’s death a few years ago had rocked him and he’d spent the last few years hiding away and looking after his young twins. Who are now orphans. It’s terrible news.
