Reading Post Match

[ronanm]

first 3 points at home this season. br say fans should be delighted. a long season methinks.

[REDSCOUSER]

A win is a win, 3 pts is all that counts.

Would have been nice to bring that GD to 0 or + but no matter we won.

Suarez was sublime again today, if he can only improve his finishing he'd have 30 goals every season, the fella is class.

A perfect day for us today. We don't have the strikeforce to catch Citeh, Chelsea or Utd this season but we scraped a win and our main rivals Arsenal and Tottenham both lost.

Couldn't have asked for more from this weekend

I think of Everton and Newcastle our main rivals this season. Tottenham and Arsenal are far above our level at this point in time.

Spurs ? I'm not so sure are that far above us. They're another side in transition.

Not convinced they are. I don't think either of them are good enough to be out of sight by January. We have 12 games before the window and we could easily get 8 victories...Home to Newcastle, Wigan, Southampton, Villa and Fulham and away to QPR, Stoke, West ham and Swansea. The Everton, Chelsea & Tottenham games are a different matter of course but those 5 home games really give us an oppurtunity to build on the Reading win and get a good run of victories at home.

While I am sure we wont win 8, I very much doubt that Spurs or Arsenal will out a much better run of results together before the window and if we within 6-8pts at the Window and we bring in reinforcements no reason why we cannot push on for a champions League place, Everyhting is pointing towards the top 3 running away with it but 4th will be all to play for,

just pass the damn ball suarez pass it

the good thing is the foundations are being laid ......need to get lucas back and a striker .....otherwise we won't climb the table by much it will be a case of 1 win and a draw and a defeat pattern

Don't let Stirling hear about that or he'll want a bit of that too.

While I would like to agree with that I don't think I can, this team has 7 PL wins in 27 games so far in 2012, I don't think we could "easily" win 8 PL games out of 12 whoever they are against. Given the inconsistent nature of our form I don't think we are capable of doing that at all. On the other hand I think that the Arsenal/Spurs sides are capable of doing that, they probably won't, but IMO they will probably get more points over that period than we will. I'd like to think we could make 4th but at the moment I don't see it being at all realistic.

finally a good joke.
