in celebration, I shall be attending Rob Couhig day on Saturday dressed as the Statue Of Liberty, I shall be loud, brash, completely ignorant of all history, and shall be chanting 'USA USA USA' throughout the match.

My second game of the season although I can’t remember which was the other one !
Fortunate that non league finished on Saturday and no clash of fixtures so looking forward to it.
Expecting us to win convincingly and Orient to concede a dramatic late equaliser meaning we all have to wait for ages to know if we are through and Huntley shouts out loudly for someone to tell us the f’in score….

HELL YES.

You did forget one thing. If you encounter a person who speaks a foreign language, you should repeat your phrase in English, but slower and louder.

And in homage, I shall be in the good old US of A on Saturday!

When our flights were booked, I never expected the last regular game of the season to be of any particular significance - on and off the pitch! :cry:

The thing I most regret is not being there to applaud the players, manager and coaches at the end of the game.

At least I'll be back in time for the Playoff Final, so hope to be able to applaud them then!

I’m in San Diego now and equally furious at my family for agreeing to be here at my request whilst these important games, which they don’t care about are played.

Bunch of prix.

Technically, you definitely get two shots.

He clearly has a contact at or works at the club in some capacity, as he clearly gets info - some of it won't always be right and so be it. Even if its all bollocks, its the internet, most stuff on the internet is bollocks.

Huang's Twitter account goes back about 11 years and his early posts are also Reading ITK related - all credit to him for keeping the ruse up this long...

The Times are reporting the Premier League advised the EFL to not sanction Dai's takeover in 2017 and they were told he'd have to sell if Reading were promoted to the Premier League.

How would the PL know anything about the deal, its out of their jurisdiction, they wouldn’t be involved.

And the FL are on record publically that Dai isn’t the reason his bid failed for Hull, they'd be abslolute lunatics to do that if there's an actual audit trail of what the Times are reporting anywhere.

I can see there being the potential that the PL and FL talked and the PL said if the takeover is on the same basis as the one refused for Hull, they should reject it and he would have to sell if we got promoted. But that's not quite the same thing, and the offer was different.

Mr Angry I, for one, will welcome our new Overlord.

However, as has been said before, picking holes in how he may behave as owner is like someone in a burning plane moaning about the colour of the parachute silk.

Right now, NOTHING else matters other than Dai selling Reading FC on or before May 5th.

More like moaning about the colour of the parachute silk before you've even been handed a parachute and seeing what colour it is
