It seems that the Evening Standard are getting a touch of the 'Beebs' when it comes to their Reading reporting.

The Evening Standard's Ken Dyer ...and Steve Shorey's excellent free kick was headed home from six yards out by Brynjar Gunnarsson..."


It then goes on to list further goals from Stephen Hunt, Ferdinand OG, a fourth courtesy of Kevin Doyle, then

Dyer also ...two goals from Leroy Lita and a second from Doyle completed West Ham's humiliation.


First Steve Shorey, then 7 goals. Before you know it Alan Partridge will be our manager again and Paul Kitson will be missing his shelf-stacking days.

I'm amazed at the errors I find in reading all of the post match reports...and not only are there errors but generally the writing quality is complete shit as well. Even on the premier league's official website the reports often read as if written by a grade-schooler.

sports journalism these days is really quite a joke.

Don't worry guy's we have a new goal scorer

"Three minutes later Reading doubled their lead when Nicky Hunt, unmarked at the far post had the easiest of chances to nod home Reading's second after a looping cross from the right of the penalty box."

And new first goal scorer

"Irish striker Doyle opened the scoring on 11 minutes and yet again West Ham were undone from a set-piece - all the more worrying following Curbishley's recent comments suggesting that he intended to build the team from the back."

But i guess all that bitterness must have an effect..

Well the Evening Standard can't make its mind up to if it is going to class us as a "London" Team like it does Watford, on Fridays in it's previews & Predictions they include us in it's London teams spotlight and when they show the table they Highlight Reading in bold as it does with the London teams, then on the Monday they don't highlight Reading in Bold and treat reading the same way they would say Wigan or Blackburn strange :?:

London Tonight yesterday had a feature all about WH, completely ignoring the fact that their region also covers a significant area of East Berkshire.

The Evening Standard,a paper who when we were in the old 2nd or Championship did'nt want to know us

As soon as we hit the Prem oh they can't get enough of us

Suddenly we're classed as a London club

Thats what I mean
As soon as they want to fill a few pages then we become a London club which blatantly we are'nt or never will be

Always remember a trip to Charlton when on the other side of the platform they started chanting sheep shaggers at us...now thats more like it
