The Mighty Royals

I am alllowed to start bleating on now the season has started :)

It was the first home game at the Mad Stad last night since the end of the season, when we somehow managed to lose to Watford. I thought we showed a pretty good account of ourselves last night - the first half we played some of the best footie I have seen, but fairplay to Chelsea for the half time substitutions. they cam out all guns blazing in the second half and looked much sharper

The biggest downer of the evening was when Sidwell (who has only been gone about 5.1 seconds), ran up to where the hardcore Reading fans in the east stand meet the away fans...he turned straight to the Chelsea fans, applauded them and ignored his old faithful crowd! I was stunned to be honest and found it sad. You hear about Forsell being very respectful when scoring against an old club....its just a shame that all players cant show the same dignity and respect
