You say Reading and I say Reading.\u00a0 I say tomato and you say tomatoe.\u00a0 I say Joe Ledly you say bottle job.\u00a0\u00a0 You know what it is be it Reading or Reading the Swans travel to the Madgeski stadium on Saturday to take on the only team with the Royal seal of approval.<\/p>\n
And because of that seal of approval you know that somewhere somewhere tomorrow afternoon good old Queen Liz will be marching round the living room with her best Homer Simpson slippers on cheering on Steve Coppell’s boys whilst slurping from a can of special vat.\u00a0\u00a0 You can really see it can’t you.<\/p>\n
The Madgeski stadium is named after Reading supremo John Madgeski.\u00a0\u00a0 Which made me wonder just how much of an ego you would have to have to want to name a stadium after you.\u00a0 Probably the biggest ego known to man so expect the sherriffadz stadium to be coming to a stadium near you at some stage in the future.<\/p>\n
Reading of course was home to famous snooker tournaments which used to be played at the Oracle.\u00a0\u00a0 Now then hands up who remembers “Paging the Oracle” which was the first name for Teletext on ITV.\u00a0\u00a0 They were great days you would be waiting twenty minutes to read about your clubs latest signing only to see proclaimed in big letters “SWANS READING LATEST NEWS” at which point you would be prompted to dial a premium rate number only to find out that Roberto and his squad had been catching up on the days papers before training.\u00a0\u00a0 Ahhh, memories.<\/p>\n
Reading was known for over 100 years as the “Biscuit Town” as well as being home to Sutton Seeds who supply bulbs all over the world today.\u00a0\u00a0 Although it has to be said that I put ten in my table lamps and its dark as f**k here at the moment.\u00a0\u00a0 As for the Biscuit Town part well as the famous Welsh philosopher Dai Jestive once said it takes some rich tea from my mate Gary Baldy to create custard cream.\u00a0 And if you understand that then that takes the biscuit hell it wasnt even funny.\u00a0 Ginger nut that I am.<\/p>\n
And so that is that as we prepare for the trip to Reading.\u00a0 Or is that Reading.\u00a0\u00a0 Or even Redding.\u00a0\u00a0 Reding, Reddin, Redin, Readin, Readin or something like that.\u00a0 Frankly I don’t care one way or the other now or even in the future.<\/p>\n
All I care about is thats another one over with.\u00a0 Anyone got any material for Preston??<\/p>\n
