our defense looks more solid than it has in a while, thats pretty much the only positive i can take from this match. sloppy play everywhere. cummings and mariappa are playing miles better than gorkks and gunter.

Dear God, I actually agree with you.

Central midfield is dreadful though. Every second touch is a tackle.

Someone wake me up when this is over. What a boring game! This has to be one of the worst Reading teams in the club's history. Dull, dull, dull. Shorey * Roberts are the only 2 decent players we have with Morrison not far behind.

How long have you been watching Reading?

This isn't too bad and it could go either way still.

deffo a penalty for villa. poor reffing innit

Worst 45 mins of Premier League football in history

Didn`t go to Watford the last time we were in the PL then?

The two Watford games in 05/06 were suicide-worthy

Who gives a shit if we're entertaining the neutral?

We've kept a young, nervy Villa side very quiet and the fans are starting to get frustrated.

Keep it like this till 70 minutes and we should be able to take it in the last 20.

They have a young inexperienced defence and we haven't bothered them in the slightest. Our second half is always our worst half. I see no reason to feel optimistic.

Brian will be in there now giving them his pep talk... It goes south from here.

Too right.

Paul Brayson would walk into this team.

The trouble with Leigertwood is that he gets the ball to feet and his immediate reaction is to turn round and face his own goal.

[southbank1871]

Oh and the officials are terrible so far, have barely made a decision.

The defence that started is young and relatively inexperienced. Are you saying we looked good going forward?

I'll have a drop of what you're drinking right now! This game is comical.

[robinsfriday]

Well, that was an erm, exciting first half of football

[soggy biscuit]

Greatest league in the world

also at the first possible chance ledge needs to GET OUT! at this point its getting ridiculous playing him. when jem or guthrie come back from injury if ledge isnt immediately out of the starting lineup there is a huge problem with brian's judgement.
