Reading have failed to beat Swansea in the clubs last fifteen meetings, the last time they won was in 2008. Thirteen years ago. The last time the clubs met in the league cup was in 2017, just four years ago, the swans won 2-0. The 9,000 attendance that night was made up of 3,500 swans fans in the away end. We will look at the swans team that night below. It was an incredible line up compared to where we are today.
Substitutes Britton. Abraham J.Ayew. Mulder. Naughton. Fernandez Fulton
Anyone entering the next slice of life should be warned it isn’t pleasant
What’s this Reading all about then ?
Considering how dull, boring and thick Reading people are you would have thought the town would be called ‘Can’t Reading’ they have an extraordinary ability to be thick as mince. Pork mince. When Reading was invented it was meant to be a small room which people would gather and talk in some form of wurzelly gormless way. Hence the local dialect being called ‘Gormzelly’ Strawberry jelly was invented in Reading after a locals brain was lopped open and the contents were sprayed with cream. Reading is the biggest town in England due to the fact it can’t obtain city status, that’s how bad the place is. Six out of ten people from Reading think they are a sea port, the other four out of ten didn’t know where they were, let alone the place they inhabit. Reading did have the first female professor in the country though, when her distinction was recognised she moved away sharpish. There’s nothing good we can say about Reading, except it’s the fourth most likely place to win the best town in England out of three towns.
Warning over muppet
Did you know ?
Swansea City hold the record for the biggest FINAL win in the competitions history, 5-0 v Bradford City. The swans beat Liverpool away and Chelsea over two legs to make it to the final.

 Piroe scores in emphatic Swansea City win at Reading 10th Aug 2021 23:07Joel Piroe completed his first appearance in the League Cup with a well taken third goal for the swans this evening in Berkshire. A TV and streaming blackout meant only those with radio access could listen to the game, and even then many Swans TV subscribers promised free audio access didn’t benefit. Fortunately the technical issues, if that was the issue tonight in Swansea were not replicated on the pitch by a much changed team. 1

So what have Reading done here? Anyone familiar with their team?
I’m just looking through and aside from their keeper and striker who are in their mid 20’s, are they just playing their under 18’s??
Sackey - 18
Holmes - 21
Strickland -19
Abbey - 17
Tetek - 18
Osorio - 18
Leavy - 19
Camara - 17
Ehibhatiomhan - 18
That’s absolutely wild  |  |

Mostly a youth team according to their website. Strange. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

I said at the weekend and still believe he will end up playing somewhere other than centre half.
I thought CDM but interesting that he’s out wide today.
A centre half he is not in my opinion. | | | |

We have done exactly the right thing in picking a strong team to build momentum and get used to the style of play. | | | |

Reading through some if the highlights, looks like we're taking some shots from outside / edge of the box... Good to see they're confident to shoot on sight. Looking forward to watching this team live now | | | |

Now that could be an important goal for him regardless of opposition, sounds like he’s had a rough start to Swansea life. Goals fix a lot of problems for strikers. | |

Number 3 for Piroe. This is going to do these lads the world of good. One swallow doesn't make a summer but this is bound to give a long overdue lift. | | | |
