floyd__streete The relentless obviousness of it all. The Reading fans who chanted En-ger-land in a baffling display of anti-Arsenal defiance when precisely 2 of our starting line-up tonight were english (3 if you include Murts).
8 players in the squad last night are from the British Isles. What do Arsenal have? 1 player from the British Isles. PATHETIC.
Hahnemann's Hairdresserfloyd__streete Good tonight: Gunnarsson, Hunt, Kitson. Arsenal. The chant back to Arsenal's "we'll never play you again" of "you f*cking said that last year".
Bad tonight: Harper, Convey, Sonko. The relentless obviousness of it all. The Reading fans who chanted En-ger-land in a baffling display of anti-Arsenal defiance when precisely 2 of our starting line-up tonight were english (3 if you include Murts).
The 'we'll never play you again' chant really is useless when we've still got to play them at the Emirates.
soggy biscuit Arsenal gave us a footballing lesson last night, once I accepted we had lost the game it became a joy to watch.
So we can't compete with one of the best teams in the world? who gives a ****, stop moaning you bunch of ******* idiots.

If Sheffield United and last season's West Ham can beat Arsenal, then I'd at least like us to give it a try instead of sticking 11 men behind the ball and praying they don't score.
SWLR Like my round of golf that morning.
If:
- All my drives make the fairway - All Reading's passes find a player
- If I sink all my putts - Reading take all the chances in front of goal
Possible result:
Par - Reading 2 Arse 1
Reality
100+ - Reading 1 Arse 4

There you go, thats why they beat them. Arsenal are a completely different beast this season

There you go, thats why they beat them. Arsenal are a completely different beast this season, scoring more goals, conceding less and they now have a better understanding of what it takes to win away from home in the premiership, which is the biggest thing that has held them back over the past 2 or 3 years really
Katie Marsden The worst thing you can do against Arsenal is give them time and space. The tactics should have been to play a high tempo game, close them down quicky and rough them up. Most of their side were wearing gloves FFS.
They still might have won but at least they'd have known they were in a game. As it was we stood off them and they just poked and prodded for 44 minutes untill they scored. They were under no pressure at all. The first goal was crucial because once you try and chase a game against a side that can pass and move like that you have no chance.
The sad thing is they left the pitch and hadn't even been in a proper game, it was like a training match. If they had had a decent striker the score would have been about 6 or 7. Ade-couldn't-hit-a-barn-door was excellent in terms of all round play but infront of goal he needs 5 chances to score a goal.
Worse sides than Reading will take points off them this season, no doubt about that.

Will worse sides than Reading take points of Manchester United at Old Trafford this season?

Who cares, this is about the Reading v Arsenal game.
Coppell got the tactics wrong, simple as that.
