Post mortem: Reading v Fulham

A few assorted things, events, comments, that either happened or came to mind during the trip to the Madejski...

1. Amusing pre-match moment: The Reading fans proudly passing the flag over their head - but failing to notice it was upside down. We serenaded them with: You don't know what you're doing!
2. The poor, tubby stewards who were told to climb up the 1001 steps to the top of the stadium to tell those at the back to sit down, only to find they were already sitting by the time they arrived. By the time they returned the fans were up and the process started all over again.

3. The same stewards failing to notice extra fans were squeezed two-on-a-seat so they could be at the very back. Either that or they chose to ignore it.

4. The stadium announcer who read the Fulham team out like he was at a funeral and then switched to a 'Smashy and Nicey' over-excited radio DJ voice when it came to the Reading names. Hilarious.

5. The chorus of "We can see you sneaking out!" as the Reading fans went off for their half time pie and pint.

6. Chant of the season: "We've hit it three times, that fu***ng crossbar, we've hit it three times". Full marks to whoever made that up.

7. Liam Rosenior. Great to see him and he clapped us when he sang his name. However, he played dreadfully. Surely he was better than that when he played for us?

8. Marcus Hahneman: Some nice comments about the club during the week from the big fella who made two outstanding saves to keep the score down.

9. Alan Mullery's outspoken comments about why our season has gone wrong so far. Guess he's not wanting to be friends with Joe Kamara...

10. Full credit to the players for coming over to applaud us at the end and for throwing their shirts into the crowd. Top stuff.

11. Very magnanimous comments from Steve Coppell at the end saying we deserved the win. Can you imagine Moyes, Curbishley, etc, saying anything similar?
