Bolton. Reading can score goals, they can't. Therefore Reading can get themselves out of trouble.

What? Read it again, you will eventually understand what i mean Technically, as he gave a free kick for it, he did "see it". So I'm not sure they'll be able to do anything. They managed it when Thatcher decided he was going to plough into that greasy looking fella and ended up knocking him out. He was booked at the time but got further punishment later. Aye, that was very definitely an exceptional case, on the grounds blind Dermot Gallagher pretty much guessed.

Hope its not a financial problem of yours that going to be helped with a pay out from the bookies Don't worry, my betting history is not a successful one. I put £35 on Boro to win the UEFA Cup just so they wouldn't. If we get beat off Brum, Fulham or Reading, I'll quite happily whack my life savings on us to stop the rot. Law of averages and all that...

Thought he was offside myself...they can't even be bothered to draw the line across the pitch correctly.

How can they debate that Downing dive? Blatant cheating.

Unusual for an assistant ref to get involved...and when he does, he invents something.

"Noone is under more pressure today in the Premier League than Avram Grant." Apart from Keegan, Coppell et al caught up in the furious relegation battle...

Fucking hell that's terrible

Thought they might have put the relegation six pointers against Reading and the mackems on like.

Aye, he already has pictures of Ronaldo man Dave.

We did, it was my 1st ever match. Late Shearer winner.

HTT deleted them all in a fit of rage, I seem to remember.

Sounds like Forster is continuing his excellent progress from nervous wreck to highly promising keeper.

Just to qualify; I mean, yes, you could say in conversation: "I think we will win at Boro (away)." But that's it. Saying "I think we will win at Boro (away), then Sunderland (home) then Man Utd (away) then portsmouth (home)," is obviously not acceptable. What if those games aren't in order though? I mean surely for it to actually be considered to be anything like a fixture list it would have to be a list of team names in the order they'll be played with away or home next to each?.. I can never understand why people get in trouble for saying "we have these teams left [random list of teams in no particular order] and we need this many points, can we get enough points". That's when this fixture list clamp down gets really silly IMO. We agree. It's like offside - all the refs and that think the interpretations of it are daft, but have to apply it. Sorry.

City look like they've wanted it more, and have defended so solidly.

Another assist by the brilliant Petrov.

Now see I privately suggested that, but it wasn't good enough for him.

Duff just went on a great run before. Good save from Shay too just then.

Rooney's banned for the Manchester derby.

Have a word, ffs. Deserved his ban for that comment...

We're closing this for the time being... to re-open once we've restored order around the place.
