Reading

 

Home Up

  • Nickname:  The Spectacles

  • Most notorious person.   Actually notorious isn't fair because they have a chairman who genuinely spent loads of money building them a stadium, and they brought in a manager who actually seems quite civilised.. 

  • Ownership Probably English.  Probably quite sane too.

  • Best known song  "I'll survive"

  • Most obvious tactics:   Coming out and playing positive football.

  • Greatest claim to fame:  Henry once scored there in about 50 seconds. 

What did Reading's Dave Kitson really say to the press about the FA Cup round 3 in Jan 2008?

Was it a) 'We're not going to win the FA Cup, so I don't give two shits about it' - quoted by The Sun, The Mirror, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Daily Express; or b) this, from The Times, the paper with breeding: 'We're not going to win the FA Cup - so I don't give a damn about it.'

That was the question the Guardian put on 3rd round day.  What they didn't know was that the man who didn't give two shits, went to Tottingham, and drew 2-2 with his reserve team.
