How one becomes a reading fan having never lived here I suppose.

From Despair To Where? Regardless of whatever happens on the pitch, I will always have a lot of respect for him purely for the way he has carried himself. He's never dodged difficult questions, he's never dodged a fight and he's stuck his head above the parapet when other managers would have done the diplomatic thing. I suspect the squad would crawl over broken glass for him.

rabidbee I was never Selles Out. I wasn't particularly strongly Selles In either, except on principle, because I'm sceptical any manager should be given so little time (excluding serious off-field disciplinary issues). I don't think enough weight was given to the fact that this is a squad cobbled together at short notice with various impediments to recruitment, who had no pre-season to work on things and get an understanding. Maybe if he had had that he would have settled upon a preferred first-XI and formation sooner; maybe if he had been appointed early in the summer he would have had more input in the choice of players we signed.

I was born in Frimley in Surrey and my parents moved to Spain soon after.
Neither of them cared for football at all so I never got pushed into supporting any club. Saw Leroy Lita score an overhead kick on the Coca Cola league highlights show when I was about 9 years old and just randomly started to follow Reading.
I went back to the UK for 7 years when I joined the Royal Marines but am now back in Spain since leaving.
Went to the Armed Forces Careers Office in Reading and had my fitness tests at the Nuffield Health Center by The Madejski.

Unbfortunately not yet. I had hoped to while in the UK but unfortunately I was earning very little and based and hour west of Glasgow so it never really happened.
Since then I've been working offshore in Nigeria, Thailand and Bangladesh so struggling to find the time but I have every intention of getting across to a game before we Dai. I actually live really close to La Nucia where we had our preseason but I was working in Port Harcourt and missed them.

When you work in these exotic locations are you providing security with your Royal Marine training?
Do you get to carry a gun? If so, what gun?
What wars have you fought in?
Have you thought about going to Ukraine to fight?
What is the coolest bit of mercenary army merchandise you have seen? Is it the Wagner Group backgammon set?
As a mercenary do you often listen to the song 'Roland the Thompson gunner' by Warren Zevon?

Unfortunately I'm nowhere near that cool. I'm a commercial diver now and work on oil and gas platforms
