Just read a rumour that Alex McCarthy might leaving Reading to Newcastle, no idea how reliable.

Technically Leeds is the only club in England I have any affiliation with, they were my dads club and he had me supporting them when I was very small. It never really stuck though and I've never been able to care about England or the rivalries between the clubs there.

Leeds fans hate us and the club with a passion. United fans ive found are sort of split.

For me personally, my family in England are Leeds fans, so i grew up with that from my cousin. Being small, i never really knew of the rivalry, so to me they almost became a second team, much like i didnt mind Liverpool thanks to my brothers influence. Having grown up now, im happy to smash them when we play them, but yeah, its weird.

+2

Wait! A Victory fan saying Mitch Langerak isn't our #2!?!?!? :shock:

+1

That'd be a great move. Guaranteed to play regularly and he still strikes me as Australia's safest #2.

from my experience knowing quite a few leeds fans they hate all teams lol.

(this is a swipe at a lot of my mates mainly)

I was under the impression that Leeds fans hated Man United, but Man United fans didn't really care about Leeds. Sort of like a one way rivalry thing?

Would be a great signing for us. Would take him any day of the week.

Yeah I'd love to see Leeds return to the top flight as well. They've had some decent players in the past few years but just can't hold onto them. I think this signing would be good for both parties involved. Federici may not be a certain #1 for Reading anymore like he has been in the past.

I know its weird as a United fan (long story), but i have a soft spot for Leeds and want to see them do well.

Federici would be a great signing. Hope they pull it off. Want to see them build a good squad and stop wasting their time flirting with promotion. Longer that happens, the quicker Norwich come and buy the players.

From a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not sure if the interest has waned however it would make sense seeing as though Alex McCarthy is more than likely to be Reading's No.1 and McDermott is Federici's former boss.
