Reading Preview

[Rovers in America]

That was a horrible yellow against Dunn. That was a simple challenge, wasn't anything bad about it. Clattenburg has lost control of this game which is rare for him.

[Mr. E]

20 minutes too late Benni's sub

[AssClown]

Hunt just missed an opener after Reid gave the ball away inside his own half.

[AssClown]

Cleared off the line. Reading very nearly scored.

[krislu]

Horror play by Reid, should have been 1-0 Reading!

[Rovers in America]

Kind of would like to see Vogel on for Reid.

[AssClown]

Derbs on for Dunn. 4 strikers on the pitch.

[AggyBlue]

Hunt just missed an opener after Reid gave the ball away inside his own half.

A sitter. Should have put it in.

Since we went three at the back, it's all Reading

[krislu]

Another hughe chance for Reading! We put a striker on and they attack....

[Mr. E]

omfg how much is Santa going to miss? Why is he so utterly useless with his feet?

[doctorryan]

That commentator seems extremely hurt by that second yellow. Matejovsky jumped through Roberts it seemed without really going for the ball.

Are you seeing this on TV or online? I've got 4 games on the TV & none of them are our's.

Nope, I have one game on TV here and it's not this one. I'm watching online because Fox Soccer Channel didn't pick this game as one to show and here in America we don't get many options.

[Grabbi Graeme]

all over 0-0

[DudeAbides]

Oh well

[AssClown]

0-0 full time. Poor match really.

Bentley largely ineffective. Zurab played well apart from what could have been a costly foul to give away at the end. Not sure if this was worth staying up till 4am to see.

[Rovers in America]

What a horrible game by Clattenburg who is usually one of the better refs. We needed 3 points in that game.

[Hughesy]

4 strikers on and we couldnt score!!! Arsenal 3-2

[Mr. E]

well we managed to officially go out of europe in the most frustrating way possible. Yes, Reading had great chances too, but we missed a ridiculous amount. Santa Cruz is going to have to shoulder the blame for this one, his misses were unforgivable.

[emglch]

i don't think putting 4 strikers on the field helped at all. hughes got his tactics wrong unfortunately.

[Grabbi Graeme]

Let's just do what Ferguson does and blame the International friendlies.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Fingers crossed that Villa don't get anything against Manure today.

[dillo_dillo]

Damn!

[Rovers in America]

Nelson seems to have had a pretty decent return. Looked better today than earlier in the season when he made his return.

[Rover Down Under]

How come they managed to get their entire stadium sent off?

[joey_big_nose]

We lost our shape totally when they had a man sent off. Too many forwards. Bentley had a great strike but apart from that was pretty poor. Pedersen was awful apart from a free kick. Warnock and Reid had the worst games I have seen them play! Roberts was impressive, Roque looked jaded, missed a lot of shots. Nelsen and Zurab looked very solid.

Everybody is slating the ref, quie rightly, but he was massively in our favour today. The first foul was defo a yellow, the second was very soft.
