Only seen this team mentioned once - Sheff Utd. Absolutely broke my heart we were better in both games and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Newcastle were there for the taking in the semi's and then in a final anything can happen. That was my one chance of actually seeing some glory (I'm too young to remember 87) and they took that away from me!
Nice to see as a Royals fan that we've not been mentioned either! Of course for many a year that you guys were flying high in the top tier, Reading were angonizingly languishing in the 3rd or 4th level, so probably haven't had much opportunity to annoy you yet!

Can't stand either Sheffield club but especially United. Never met a Blades fan I didn't instantly want to punch in the face.
On away days to Bramall Lane, I've seen a fellow Fox 'happy slapped' (remember that phrase?), I witnessed car windows smashed by local scumbags angry at their team being utter shit last season (we went in front early then they hammered us for 86 minutes and couldn't equalise), and I've seen pint glasses fly over a fence as those in the pub garden on the other side heard a group of Leicester fans - including several kids and two young women - go past.
Also once, after a 4-1 defeat, I briefly had to share a platform at Sheffield station with the piss-stinking lunatic Bernie, and for that ordeal I personally blame every Sheffield United fan who has ever lived.

Reading? Your club represents everything that is wrong with modern football. Horrible little, new money, Soccer AM style fans, sky sports "family" club if there ever was one. One of the most uninteresting clubs in football league history, and the same goes for the place. Basically you're one up the ladder from Wigan. Trust me, you've annoyed me.

Hah, completely different reasons but same conclusion. Another team, although I can't remember ever playing them in my lifetime, is Huddersfield Town - the general arrogance of fans of a team that haven't been out the 3rd tier of English football for however long is mind blowing!

One of the most uninteresting clubs in football league history - give you that one at least!
Horrible little - urban Reading 250,000 population, 2nd biggest town in Britain that isn't a city
new money - none really arrived, new owners not even taken over yet
Soccer AM style fans, sky sports "family" club if there ever was one - still plenty from Elm Park days who remember the 4th division, not all plastic by any stretch of the imagination
one up the ladder from Wigan - about to enjoy 10 years in premier?
Don't worry mate, I was half expecting to be shot down when I wrote that! Cheers!

Reading are completely under my radar to be honest - they definitely do not annoy me and I don't really get why people get "annoyed" at other teams anyway? Personally, I concentrate on my own team, have a few teams I don't really like (not for money reasons I'll add, more for football reasons shockingly) and look forward to the next game (or be apprehensive more often)!
