Chaney forest throw it away straight after scoring..where have I seen that before?


3-2 now Leeds out of the play-offs as it stands, think we may have a few forest fans cheering us on tonight.

tink
JC So in the game just starting do we want Forest to beat Leicester and go above Leeds thereby adding more pressure, or do we want Leeds to relax a bit if Forest lose


If Forest lose, then they are 9 points behind us with only 3 games left, and an inferior goal difference, so it would virtually guarantee us a play-off place.

It would give Leeds some breathing space, so hopefully with the pressure off them tonight, we could have an easier time.

So I want Leicester to win, although i feel sorry for Forest. I would rather they made the play-offs then Leeds, so it would be a shame for them to lose, but i think a Leicester win is in Reading's best interests



Don't agree. Get the pressure on Leeds. Forest win or draw best, prob the draw

Despite it being 2-1 to Cardiff I still fancy Norwich to take 2nd with 83 pts.

Cardiff's run is nasty given that Burnley now have something to play for.

I actually would rather have Cardiff in the play-offs as they have bottled it just as much as we have!

Mike Hunt Nice finish by Taarabt

Premier League. Cardiff looking comfortable enough, 1 little mistake, clinically punished. I still think ours and Norwich's results have put auto beyond us, but rather see Norwich get it than Cardiff.

I can't decide who I hate most out of the two. The Norwich fans have been arrogant twonks this season - part of me wants Reading to bash them up at Wembley.

I want automatic

Failing that, I want third place

And so, thru clenched jaws, let's go Rangers

I think automatic is all but gone. Norwich only have to win 2 games from 3 to make sure of that. The only way we could do it is if Norwich drop points in 2 of their 3 games - not happening.

I fully expect them to end up with at least 83 pts if not 84 / 86.

lols...

1439: Heidar Helguson wastes a magnificent late chance to seal QPR's promotion to the Premier League. Adel Taarabt produces a poorly-struck shot from the left but it bobbles across goal for the on-rushing Helguson, only for the sliding Icelandic forward to somehow put his effort into the side netting with manager Neil Warnock already in the midst of his celebration.

If I was a Norwich fan I'd be feeling pretty bloody happy now. In the bag.
