View from the opposition

How confident are you going into this one?

Let's just say that I feel confident that the team will do its best. Confident about getting anything out of the game? I'd be more optimistic if it was Man Utd or Chelsea, to be honest. Reading struggle most against teams with the flair of Liverpool or Arsenal, where there are more than just a couple of highly influential players.

When was the last time anyone described us as a flair team? Nice to hear.

Who was it said that?

Coppell?

[The Glove]

I like Coppell. Said it before, to use a boxing anology, Coppell is the best pound for pound manager about just now.

nice to see us getting that type of reputation

[Craig_H]

I'm not sure he can dismiss United from the 'flair description' and include us, while maintaining any kind of credibility.

I have zero fondness for anything manc (except maybe shaggy )...

But i do have an ability to be honest about things, regardless of personal bias.

I think it is fair to say all of the "big four " are playing with flair at the moment.

Wouldnt say chelsea are particularly.

Right, so we're now playing with the same level of flair as the mancs can do?

Fecking doofus.
