Yup confirmed

Looks like they'll be Reading the writing on the wall.

Yeh Federici bottled it. Had a choice to make, save a goal and possibly break your leg, or bottle it and hopefully win a free kick/ or concede a shit goal. I would bottle it.

If he connected Federici there, broken leg.

that's a free kick to reading. Studs up challenge.

Southampton fans signing about Pocchetino for 30 minutes now, sad bastards.

Seems to be a copy of both that and last seasons top. Not original enough. WNF

Enjoying this, reading are fighting and I like it. Draw is good. Do think we miss Guthrie, he was able to fill the Cabaye role, no one else in our team could/can

Tipped a draw here. Southampton are a better side, but if Reading get nothing from this they are gone.

Too much like last seasons strip. No offense.

The thing is our manager will be forced to go against his inhabitation and go full on at St James' Park, it's a mammoth task but I fully would have expected us to sit back and take an anal raping had we came home with a lead in the tie You have really good players, I think Newcastle can do much better to be honest. I mean, you are 3 points above relegation right? That does not reflect your potential, you have a great quality at the front, I think Cisse and Sissoko are very very good. I think our squad is probably the 6th best in the league, in all honesty. We were missing key players Coloccini, Debuchy, Tiote, Ben Arfa and Gouffran last night. However we have had terrible luck with injuries this season and a manager that can only scrape results when his best 11 are out there. I think a good manager could have us consistantly challenging for European places.

Think he's too arrogant to do something like that, seems pretty set in his way tactically. Surely you would look at the statistics of all the major leagues, see what teams are converting the highest proportion of their corners/set pieces and then scout them. See what could work with our personnel and give it a go. The greatest header of a ball in the modern premier league era is arguably Tim Cahill, now here's a guy whos a midgeet, who uses anticipation and intelligence to attack the ball at the right moment, using his team mates to draw away defenders. It can't be as hard as we make it look, to even be threatening from set pieces. So can't he be bothered to do something like that?

Such an uncharacteristic mistake from him as well. His strength is his dribbling and his passing. If someone in my Sunday League side made a pass like that I'd be fucking livid.

I disagree. We had as many clear cut chances as you did, it was a very good away team performance from us. You were always going to dominate posession and have shots from anywhere, we were simply undone by two horrendous individual errors.

I'd be happy with the following .... Krul Santon Mbiwa. Taylor. Haidara Sissoko. Cabaye. Jonas Marveaux Gouffran. Cisse

Anyone looking for a near certainty at good odds .. Brisbane Roar will beat Adelaide United, this week in the A-league semi-finals

I hope Bigi starts tbh. He deserves his chance.

Usually i would agree but i think he will be quite important against this Benfica team and how we will set up to get a result. Hes better than Obertan. I like the look of Bigi in the middle, think he can do a good job there. Anita just isnt up to it atm.

Krul Perch Saylor Mbiwa Santon Bigirimana Cabaye Marveaux Sissoko Jonas Cisse Id go for that, with that squad.

Krul Santon Saylor Mbiwa Haidara Tiote Cabaye Marveaux Sissoko Jonas Cisse

Shouldn't be drinking while he's out injured, w*****.

A new manager ... That has an actual style of football.

Dear me. Maybe we are going down.

3-0.
