Well I had a top day out, fully expecting an embarrassing defeat but then we actually played pretty well and were unlucky with their winner. My main hope was that we'd score a goal that mattered and there was wild celebrations when McClearly scored, that alone made my day.

Sorry for the Feds fumble but I guess any keeper error is always bad,

What a performance - why the fck couldnt they have played like that all season. Immense - we took the current (arrogant) cup holders to extra time when all the world thought we would be battered, and we could have nicked it in normal time if Pog had blatted it / passed to Mackie.

Oh well, now to secure non-relegation and then look forward to a summer of changes.

Superb performance today but I can't help but feel cheated. Today showed what they can do but so rarely actually do

RG7Fan ... we could have nicked it in normal time if Pog had blatted it / passed to Mackie.



Wasn't Pog's finest hour but Mackie made a shit run which didn't help him at all.

Globe - we took it over.
Baker street pubs - we took them over

On the pitch...immense. Proud as I have ever been to be a Reading fan.

On the tube/train back, the decent gooners all said that we had played well.

Bring on next season. Keep this lot and we won't be far away from the top.

Hammered, and hugely proud of my club.

Bossed the day on and of the pitch.
Feds may escape without criticism but my mum could have saved that.

just watched the replay and it was an awful run. Forced Pog onto his weaker right foot and had no option but to go on his own

Forgot to mention the amazing sight of 40-50 coaches on the M4 as we were driving, and people hanging flags off the bridges.

Well, I'm a Reading fan from Brazil, introduced myself a couple a years ago. Always reading the posts but never actually posting.

It was certainly a great match and I'm really positively shocked by the reaction of the fans because if Feds was playing in a Brazilian side, after that fail it would be for sure the end of his career at the club. The fans would be very, very angry, even if it was the first mistake of his career.

And I also think the lads played outstandingly well. I'm proud of the Royals and also I'm very proud of you guys for such a positive reaction by the team's performance. I have never seen this kind of good attitude here in Brazil.

My "main side" here in Brazil is Cruzeiro, It's the Brazilian League title contenders (won 2014 and 2013) and last Brazilian Cup runner-up, First professional club of Ronaldo (the only one) and the current home of Julio Baptista (which did absolutely NOTHING here).

And about the Arsenal fans: I don't know why they are such arrogant fans. They spent hundreds of millions of pounds every oxf*rd season to being satisfied with an UCL spot? 11 years without winning a single EPL title? They must be crazy of being arrogant.

Cheers from Brazil!

Brilliant day out! Performance was brilliant considering I didn't expect much before the game.

Shocking to see Reading 'fans' shouting at two young lads to sit down in the block I was in. Then giving one of the lads abuse for being fat. Not sure if they're regulars/st holders or not but that's a fcuking disgrace! Stand up and get behind the team or piss off.
