Match Preview. Reading v Chelsea, 15/08/07 + Predictions

[Berkshire Born]

Cech slid into Hunt's path as well, and took his leg away.

This one sentence from WR quite simply sums up the whole incident.

Whilst the initial clip shows Cech sliding into Hunts path this one shows Cechs knee catching Hunts foot causing his knee to drop.

Reading those Cheatski comments really does get your back up!

[Compo's Hat]

I'm guessing that Coppell will go back to 442 as we're at home, with Long and Doyle up front.

Terry is out so there's a good chance we could get something from this if they play as unconvincing as the previous two meetings.

1-1

[cmonurz]

Huntley the voice of reason so far.

2-0 Chelski.

[leon]

Huntley the voice of reason so far.

2-0 Chelski.

you truely are a miserable b*stard aren't you!

[RobRoyale]

USA and the defender boys are gonna be pumped from the Manure game. Confidence levels through the roof for this one so could hold their own.

I like watching Doyle and Long up front and think they can work well...

Going for a 2-0 win. (Doyle 24, Gunnarson 80)

[bassavage]

Reading 3

Doyle 14
Hunt 67
Harper 85

Chelsea 2

Malouda 21
Drogba 70

[Alan Partridge]

got a feeling we'll nick a point somehow, maybe with an own goal!

1-1

Reading goalcsorer, Petr Cech's headgear

something like that would be nice.

[floyd__streete]

2-0 Chelski.

Your pessimistic predictions always delight me for the opposite most often happens

[Alan Partridge]

So whose in? I think he'll go back to 4-4-2. I hope he does.

USA

Murty
Shorey
Duberry
Ivar

Oster
Hunt
Harper
Gunnarsson

Doyle
Long

Seol, DLC, Cisse, Cox, Federici

so DLC to unlucily miss out, and Oster in for Seol. Think it's more of an Oster game than a Seol game. Going to be a frantci atmosphere, if Reading are going to get anything out of it, have to be high tempo and Oster fits the bill slightly better for this one.

[Compo's Hat]

Much as i'd like to see Oster come in, i don't it will happen.

[Coppelled Streets]

I'll have a punt at another draw. Maybe 1-1.

[glass half full]

Does 'Stroll' deserve another run-out on present form? Oster deserves a chance.

[Adz1871]

1-0 Reading

Lampard (OG) 45 +2

[Mr Angry]

I thought the Chelsea defence looked very ropey yesterday, and if Birmingham can score twice then we should have a good chance of scoring as well.

I'm going 2-1 Reading.

[Royal Lady]

I think they'll go all out to get another of our players sent off, probably Hunt. They'll fall down at every opportunity and nick the game from a free kick that they shouldn't really have been given.

1-0 to Chelsea I'm afraid.

[79Royal]

I've got a funny feeling we're going to beat them.

1-0 Reading (Doyle from a set piece)

Hope Sidwell plays and he get's a decent reception, followed by boos when he's on the ball.

BIG support for Hunt required, as has been discussed previously.

[wehateoxford]

i fancy us to do them 2-1, as stated chelsea look ropey in defence and not having essien means there midfield will lack any real defensive quality, 1-1 till the last 10 minutes when chelsea will start to play with some urgency after our goal, too little too late

[Behindu]

What a moronic set of comments from the Chelsea fans....

I really hope the whole pointless debate doesn;t get reignited as it's been done to death. I loath Chelsea as a result of the farce last year and am just looking forward to getting this game out of the way.

[a royal called morty]

Dunno what it is, but i seem to fancy us gettin a result out of this:

Royals 2-2 Chelsea
Cech (OG)--Malouda
Hunt--------Kalou

2-0 down and then we score 2 in the last 10 mins, a cross accidentally turned in by cech, then Hunty in injury time!! That would be awesome!!!

I would also imagine Chelsea will wear that horrible Luminous yellow away shirt that makes Drogba look a little like a lollipop lady.

[EASTENDER MARKY]

Reading 1 - 0 Chelsea

Hunt to finish off the retard.

It's gonna be the type of game at the Madejski where there is such a good atmosphere that it spurs the boys on to win. 2-0.
