Manure V Reading

[Parm]

Yet again every song they've sung tonight refers to us.

that's what i was getting at,

[Marshy]

did you hear the Manure fans chanting about winning it 2 times...disgusting.

I don't think i'd be able to cope if they won the league again*, particularly as we're the eternal 'don't worry we'll be challenging next year' club in comparison with mealy mouthed excuses all the time. I know it's a bit early to say this and i love Rafa but i'll be seriously pissed off with Rafa if we're out of the league race yet again next season but i don't want to think those sad and angry thoughts at this stage.

[*Number 6 would soften the blow somewhat though ]

Am sure Gary Neville was going on about closing in on our 18 titles a few weeks ago, felt sick like a mother****er when I heard that

I remember the good old days when it was 18-7 in league titles now we're very close to 18-16 - I never dreamed they would ever be so close. We've got to get our premier league act together next season because it's just too close now, i can't take any more league failure and excuses.

a reading player has been booked twice and is still on the pitch looks like we have a graham poll moment

This game has to be replayed.

I agree.

who's the ref?

[animal magic]

who's the ref?

howard webb who did the carling cup final

[cobain]

Webb

Anyways, this match needs to be replayed! On Friday evening would be most appropriate

[AFII]

Well. Apparently that first-half booking was for Ulises de la Cruz, meaning referee Webb was right not to send Bikey off. Only De la Cruz did nothing wrong - that first booking followed Bikey's chop on Saha at the edge of the box. Bizarre stuff, but the official version is that it is De la Cruz and Bikey in the book.

Leroy Lita scores again against the scum.

come on reading

From Eurosport....

GOAL! Reading are back in it, and what a header from Leroy Lita! He powers he effort into the right corner of the net from a right-sided cross. But once again where was the marking? Sir Alex Ferguson looks dangerously purple. Rubbish from the Premiership leaders.
