Pre-season Friendlies

[Pepe the Horseman]

A young Jasper Carrot, and I think he's had a season ticket for the last couple of seasons.

[John Smith]

Thanks.

Anyone preferring Maidenhead v U21s to Espanyol on Saturday?

[royalp-we]

Nah

[No Fixed Abode]

Dont waste my time or money on going to friendlies. One of the reasons ive not passed any comments on the events of the games or quaility of play in them. Just the mix of those playing and lack of first choice goalscorers.

I supposed it's only worth going to watch the likes of Chelsea in a friendly if you're a Reading fan. Seeing World class players you don't otherwise see week in, week out.

Absolutely.

It helps us to remember what true football is all about.

Agreed. You realise watching Chelsea that football should predominantly be played on the deck - not the long ball stuff Reading serve up.

Chelsea only do that because none of their players have Michael Hector's passing range.

Absolutely.

Nice try, but no cigar.
I meant that watching Chelsea reminds us that football sold its soul long ago, and that good old Roman was one of the chief architects of it's demise with his money-can-buy-you-anything approach. Chelsea have been classless since Matthew Harding died.

[Nameless]

Not sure Ken Bates was a class act to be honest....

True, but Harding seemed a really decent guy trying to do the right things.

I'm not having that, you're well out of order.

Chelsea have been a squalid club supported by racists for years prior to that.

I have no interest in seeing Chelsea in a friendly. Maybe, just maybe a big club like Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Real or Barcelona.

How about...

Chelsea have been even more classless since Matthew Harding died.

I'm going to Maidenhead on sat mainly because I've been to a few of the u21 games and would like to see how they finish their pre season, also never been to York Road

[John Smith]

Good man. It's a great ground I'm sure you'll enjoy it
