Oli Winton's View - a fair one I think

[papereyes]

I was reading the report of the match in the NOTW and did anyone else see the Your Shout question to some of the Man Yoo fans at the game?

Duncan Savage - Seaford
Eamonn Ruane - Leeds (?)
Richard Heathcote - Bordon
Shaun Hollis - Plymouth
Rob Graham - Watford
Peter Gimpsuit - Henley

1 - where they are from

2 - Peter Gimpsuit.

I notice that the report conveniently did not mention how dirty Gaybriel Heinze was. His assault on Seol alone was worth a yellow card. Outrageous.

[igoe agogo]

waste of bandwidth.

[Seal]

waste of bandwidth.

Agreed. United fans are just upset because no one cares about them anymore. Rather than it being the Champions visiting town, they're just another big team with some decent players, who sometimes win the Carling Cup.

Therefore they need to try and wind us up with their usual arrogant rubbish, otherwise we'd just forget about them until whenever it is we go to Old Trafford.

I'm far more interested in West Ham away now, so lets just ignore them.

[papereyes]

I think they're also hurting that the reputation a few of them have spent years trying to cultivate has been shown to be moderately -able.

Going to a new stadium is always more exciting than just another trip to the same old places year after year. However, Reading might as well have been Boro, Sunderland, Derby, Southampton, Leicester or any other generic new stadium. Four stands, one tier, built near a motorway in fields with nothing else about, fans full of replica shirts, PA announcer getting far too excited, music when they score a goal and small time supporters.

Haven't heard this one since we played SOUTHAMPTON.

How DARE we compete in the same league as them.

LOL @ formations not meaning anything at this level.

Manure's formation was the reason they had all the possession.

It was also the reason they couldn't do anything with it.

End of.

What about when they played effectively 424 for the last 20 minutes, they still had all the possession and created less than when it was 451?

[rotherwick_royal]

Errr, you scored in the last 20 minutes. Isn't that creating anything?

imo you looked a much more dangerous team once Saha came on. I reckon if you'd played with two up front all game you probably would have won.

Maybe Fergie paid us too much respect by playing a defensive formation

LOL, yes, very dangerous that he sent a shot at goal wide and out for a...throw in.

Ronaldo scored in the 73rd minute, and with 4 minutes added time he scored with 21 minuts remaining

Agree with your view, but Scholes has played off the striker before and he was doing that Saturday. It wasn't strictly a 451, especially with Ronaldo who gets forward more than most wingers.

No doubt Ferguson paid respect, Reading are a very good footballing side.

[MartinRdg]

It's a fair report. Reading never threatened and only had one 'chance' in the whole game. They played to stop United, not to win a football match.

The fact the best Reading players were defenders say it all.

One chance - you talk b*ll*cks

[Nick Shorey my Lord!]

The fact that our Utd contingent feel the need to wind up the suckers here is quite a compliment!

Thank you Garry!

Classic Big Team talk - with a team costing more than £100m that fail to break down little Reading, they're left to complain that we made it too hard for them.

Sorry, next time we'll roll over for you.

By the way - VDS made one decent save (from Doyle). Hahnemann didn't make a single save that tested him. That should put talk of 'domination' in some context.

[floyd__streete]

small time supporters......the home support bored us with the same old ‘we support our local team’ and booing Ronaldo nonsense.

Yawn.

If only we could be more like Manchester United supporters who were without doubt the most sneering, arrogant bunch of morons ever to visit the Madj.

[ripleyroyal]

fans full of replica shirts, PA announcer getting far too excited, music when they score a goal and small time supporters.

At least our fans are genuine, not like Man Utd's "fans" who wear replica shirts, buy their lampshades and bed spreads from Argos and never attend a match coz they live in Bognor......Reading fans are real, and "God bless 'em everyone"!!

With nothing else about .............except for a hotel, retail and business parks! What else does he want? Rows on rows of shabby and depressing terraced houses?

Small time supporters? Just what does that make the Southern Mancs who turned up complete with their library books? Big time losers?!
