The Glory of Reading

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but someone just sent me this new Official Reading FC Anthem. Oh dear.

Don't really like the new stadium, the little shuttle bus you have to get there is annoying.

^proposed replacement lyric for 'we're fighting the butterflies tonight'

Some very clunky product placement in there. Well, not so much product placement as lingering shots with nothing interesting in them except advertising signs for Thai airways and a drinks company.

Didn't realise so many of Reading's fans were South East Asian either.

I've never been so glad to not support Reading.

It's presumably being aimed at potential overseas fans in their Thai owner's homeland.

I hope Katrien isn't busy sitting at the piano composing a Charlton song...

Like you wouldn't be dead curious how it turned out

Undoubtedly the best club anthem in the world

I've never seen anything quite like it. Jesus wept.

Nothing like a bit of a product placing cheesey pop video to get the crowd pumping.

Is that our next Eurovision entry?

Are they going to play that before every home game? I think legally that's grounds for getting a season ticket refund.

Having said that, it's genius in a way. Setting a goal of 'defending the glory of Reading' really takes the pressure off for everyone

Shit, I've just caught myself whistling it

Better than a sofa.

Lol, I've been doing that all day - it's pretty catchy.

I like the way they've rebranded losing as 'learning'.

Played 9, won 3, drawn 2, learnt 4.

I thought our song with Squeeze was a car crash.

That is a major pile up on the M25
