If we play well like we have been generally and are a bit more clinical, we should be looking at trouncing them. But time and time again we make hard work of games we're favourites in, especially away from home. We don't do well away from home when we're expected to win. I can just as easily see Reading 1-0/2-1 as I can see us winning 3-1/4-1. Don't get me wrong I think we should be winning this game but don't bank on it. That's our problem btw, we have been defending ridiculously badly. Teams don't need to pressurise us for long spells in order to score. See Sunderland's goal at the weekend, obscenely easy goal. Anyway, this is for another thread!

You saw us not beat QPR and Wigan, right?

Reading will score first.

Personally I thought it was an incredible goal and one of the best I've ever seen.

"Incredible scenes! The captain, he runs over to his parents!" :lol:

Linked to this, take Leon Osman. Hardly a spectacular player nor a top drawer player, but a fairly good one who is technically sound. Should have been in the squad a while ago but instead dross like Henderson are handed opportunities, and Gareth fucking Barry still gets picked. Osman however plays for Everton (read: not Man Utd, Liverpool etc). He is a better footballer than Tom Cleverley for example IMO. The latter however plays for Man Utd. Not saying we should be regularly playing Osman, but it's scandalous someone like him wasn't given an opportunity earlier. For me, our insistence on playing someone like Barry (of Man City royalty) over giving someone like Osman a chance earlier on sums up what's been wrong with this country's national team and set-up for quite a long time.

Did he get the honour of shaking hands with Ibra? Why would he when he gets to train with footballing royalty like Victor Anichebe?

WHAT THE FUCK

Please say you laid off after it went to 2-2 Ryan?

Can't do it against English sides.

Won't score or magically set up 3 goals. 1 cap, thanks for coming Leon.

MK Dons 3-0 up. MK Dons vs. AFC Wimbledon it is. Interesting.

Absolutely minimal chance. And if there are any sanctions it'll be a token £20,000 fine or something like that. See, football isn't corrupt!

Bit of a face going on there. That combined with

Must say Diame looked a good player against you. Can I assume that the 4-3-3 people are after involves Tiote, Anita and Cabaye as a midfield 3? Because that, to me, seems the entirely natural midfield 3 to have. Is the lack of the much fabled 4-3-3 because of question marks over Anita in midfield (if this is the case, do people think the Jonas injury will force Pardew in this direction?) or is it because he doesn't want to put Ba out wide in the front 3 because he's scoring goals this season centrally?

I can't help feel I've slightly hindered my chances of glory by forgetting to enter this 6 times. Bimpy. Good effort, only 2 from a perfect score.

Right decision, wrong time. Should've been a few years ago.

FFS In a strange way it's a beautiful description.

Go wild in Chat re: poppies. Feel ashamed they managed a plural amount of shots on target against us.

Are they the ones who fucked up numerous bets in recent months?

JFT 96% possession.
