Reading v Arsenal

[FBI]

McDermott looks shell-shocked.

No wonder he has no hair. L o L

Can't argue with that. I haven't seen any of the match tonight but if try are up to their usual standard then they are woeful!

Listening to it on the radio all you can hear is the arsenal fans

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

3/1, Blimey that was brave I wouldn't have laid them at 1/3 myself.

Think I've phrased that wrong...

I had a tenner on Reading to win at the start of the game @ 3/1. Went it went 4-0, I laid Arsenal/the draw and ended up with £25 profit.

I saw Lewes go down 8-5 against Weymouth at The Dripping Pan a few years ago in the FA Cup. Our pal Mr. Claridge notched with a pen IIRC

Reading fans were so quiet, even when 4-0 up. To be fair to the Gooners, they were in fine voice, even when they were getting hammered.
Reading, goal music, says it all.

Arsenal's away fans are unbelievable but their home fans are nearly the worst

 

[shaolinpunk]

What. A. Game.

I wonder how the fans that left at 4-0 are feeling?

So funny to see giroud throw his shirt in crowd thinking the game was a draw at 4-4(full time ) and had to get it back when he was told the game going into extra time some footballers aren't the brightest are they

Reading have lost the two highest scoring matches in the history of the Premier League; Portsmouth 7 Reading 4 on 29 September 2007 and Tottenham Hotspur 6 Reading 4 on 29 December 2007.

The Albion matches I have been to with most goals were 10-1 v Ipswich followed by 2-8 v Bristol Rovers, followed by 4-4 v Leyton Orient and 4-4 v Chester (? team).

 

[Paris]

If Wenger plays an under-strength team in the next round he'll need shooting

No wonder he has no hair. L o L

No lol allowed I'm afraid

I wonder if it would sell if they sold the Portsmouth, Spurs and Arsenal games on a triple-DVD in time for Christmas.

When Brian McDermott had hair....

 

[perseus]

Middlesbrough got a good 1-0 result at Sunderland.

If I was an arsenal can I would have left after 37 mins I wouldn't have waited till half time

I'd agree if they were playing Man U or City but Reading you have always got a chance to smash them for 7 lol

The real shame of the game was that Theo Walcot had an absolute stormer. I would say, even if he had scored NONE, he would still have been man of the match. He was direct, didnt lose the ball dribbling, constantly made the right decision, and used his pace at the RIGHT times.

Sadly, because the game was so bonkers and shithouse like Chamakh also scored, it will completely mask just how well he played.

There was one point in the first half of extra time where he beat 4 people will pace and close control before firing in a PHENOMENAL cross which pitched on the 6 yard line. It was basically the PERFECT piece of wing play.

When his game is on he is almost unplayable....which makes him even more frustrating that he doesn't always meet those potential standards.
