hamster Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 A fine season and worthy of promotion, in particular this recent run. Hope we can nick top spot which imo is more plausible now. CONGRATULATIONS ONE AND ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulstersaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Well done Reading - good team and good manager and a great run of form to clinch it with 2 games to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Man Do Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Question is how seriously will Brum take the last game of the season? If it was us who would you want to avoid in the play offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Yep, congrats. Got no problem with them at all. Glad they're up as they're not a bad club, they just have a few odd fans to say the least. They deserve it and so do we, which is why we'll both be there next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom8558 Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Fair play to them. Have the best defence in the league imo. Be brilliant playing them next year in the PREMIER LEAGUE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 A run like they have had deserves promotion, as does our top 2 for the entire season run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Good luck to them. Good football and they didn't spend a fortune getting there. Them going up, even more than us, must make the West Ham fans want to vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Well done! Of all the teams who could have been promoted I'm pleased for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Well deserved, nothing flashy but they know how to counter attack. Thought Forest had nicked one at the death but cleared off the line, nearly spunked in my pants! That said, we're coming for you. Saints to nick the title on goal difference on the last day. Also, lol at Fat Sam and West Ham. I know it's not over, but it might as well be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.REX Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Yeah fair play to them. Amazing achievement to go on a run like that in such a competitive league... still hoping we can get 1st place though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made in Southampton Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Yep, well deserved. You can argue with the form they've shown. They did the business against us which shows a lot of bottle. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Yep, got to hold your hand up and say well done - great, great run. Decent club and real good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestersaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Endorse the sentiment on here, their run is reminiscent of ours last year and how can you vouch for that? Looking at their stats for the last 3 games tho, they could easily have got no points whatsoever! Still, don't wish to sound bitter, if they have used their luck then maybe it will desert them in final 2 games as I still think we deserve to be champions. If it is not to be then hats off to them and see you next season. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctoroncall Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 A well organised team, good clinical finishing of the chances they have in the game (oppo had more shots again tonight) with a decent young manager. Hopefully we'll be with them next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Congratulations to Reading.

SNSUN Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Congratulations Reading. If they win the title, they really are worthy winners, but we haven't given up yet! £100 million for promotion sounds great. We need some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Hopefully their promotion will mean they take their foot off a little, and we can still win the title! But for now, congratulations indeed to them, thoroughly deserved. I don't think it's any surprise to see another thoughtful and intelligent manager up at the top.

bpsaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Fair play to them, it's a bit of a cliche but a season is a marathon, not a sprint, and they deserve to be where they are. I don't believe we'll get the title, can't see them slipping up, but I'd have snapped anyones hand off if they said we'd finish 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSFC Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 fair play and congrats to them. They have best defence, we have best attack. We could still end up with more points than QPR last yeaq and come 2nd. Whatever order we both finish in we have both been great, them for their 17 game run, us for awesome consistancy for being top2 all season.

Pugwash Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Congratulations Rhedin. Rode their luck sometimes, but well-deserved across the season. Brian McDermott top manager and top bloke.

saintbletch Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Reminds me of the run we had to catch Huddersfield last year. Well played Reading. Unbelievably consistent in one of the toughest divisions around. Not wanting to appear churlish but they have ridden their luck at times. Pleased for them though as they are a proper football club. Happy for their manager too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepgar Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 The annoying thing is they don't actually deserve it my opinion. They have had a late run that's all. Albeit an amazing one. Saints have been the most consistent over the whole season. Top two.....surely deserves promotion. If not Championship. West ham should feel the most aggrieved. Should have on paper sewn this league up weeks ago. So yeah we'll done to reading for your fine run of wins. But do you deserve the trophy. I am not convinced.
