Coventry playing?[/quote]

..... errrr?[/quote]

Signed. Justice for Kevin and for Anne.

We don't have someone to play in the 'number 10' role either. I thought we missed Hunty badly on Saturday - at least he might have given Agger and Skrtel something else to think about. I can't see them having an easier game all season. But quite why we stood so far off a very ordinary Liverpool in ...

At any point 'Boro could have scored. ^This Well, on the basis that any side can score at any time - OK. But do you think Boro really threatened us that much to get themselves back in the game? We let them have a bag load of possession, but I thought we kept them at arms length from the danger area...

Not retrospective - felt this at the time, and even at 1-0. Genuinely thought we could have played all evening and not conceded. Though I tend not to tempt fate by speaking aloud at the time! A double fist punch was Fed's only save of note and, as someone said further up, most of the rest of Boro's ...

Feel a bit fraudulent 'cos I live in the frozen North so this is my nearest game.{/quote] Can sympathise: my nearest thing to a home game, too. And I used to live on Teesside, so the victory was especially sweet! Accept that they had no real chances but I always felt nervous when they were in our h...

Would have been Brentford, early 80s, before going up to uni in't north (where my presence at away games subsequently proved to be not exactly inspiring to the team). Can recall a packed away end - specifically more packed than the Tilehurst End as I remembered - and a very different atmosphere to h...

Haven't watched the highlights, but it seemed to me from my seat behind the goal that the officials missed a key incident in the run up to Swansea's third, too: Harte goes up for a header whereas Dyer simply doesn't bother; Dyer nudges Harte in the back in mid-air leaving the latter falling to the g...

Perth's fair city, in my case - yup, another (pretend) sweaty on his way to Wembley, though travelling fewer miles than NTRoyal...

I've got one, East Stand Ste.

I'll also be there, so no problems getting it to you if you want it - PM me.

Another Ticket Zone cock-up.

It's in Block 125 (about level with the edge of the penalty area) - PM me for details. First come first served!

Yup, very proud. No disgrace at all. Let's make sure now we get the chance of getting our reply against the Mancs in the Prem next year.

From memory, Harte is slightly to the side of AFed, so the clearance was on. I agree that the ball should have been directed more firmly, but I think he's entitled to expect AFed to take charge of the situation regardless. Instead, there's a slow-mo train wreck of indecision which the Hull player ex...

In Harte's defence, and from the one time I saw this on the tele, it looks to me as though, more or less with his back to the play, he's cushioned the ball but then realised that, to clear it properly, he's got to make touch, and to the right hand side, too (i.e. with his right foot). I think in tho...

Looks like it's just me left cursing Pardew for losing yesterday, then ...

Euro game for Georgia midweek? Perhaps he's not quite as fresh - and Pearce may just have the edge as a result...

Good spot, Spud Gun - that's a very well-researched piece and accurately tuned in, too. Even if the URL was written by the 16-year-old office trainee...

That's also him involved in the run-up to the pen, isn't it? Good quick pass, and then continues his run into the box: would have been a shoe-in had he got the return!

Brief note to the club:

Please ignore this bit:

I've been loyal to Reading...

But do take note of this bit:

Maybe a fresh start would be good for me and the club.

I really don't want to see any loyalty bonuses heading his way as a result of this - this is a request to leave.

... only to find it's been lost, along with its comrades tenacity and spirit...
