'Interesting' corner - one of those floated to the edge of the box for the runner jobbies - except onto a Reading player's head. In fact, didn't we score a goal like that once?

[g]

Just when Reading's lack of ambition almost got them out of the relegation dogfight, they are brought back in by clubs who want to be in the premier league

ArsenaLOL falling apart. Diaby sent off for clattering Steinsson.

[g]

I hope Rafa goes on about protecting Steinsson, we need to protect our stars, or is he not important enough to protect?

Derby 1-1 Fulham (kamara)

And Sunderland 1-1 West Ham too.

1532: RED CARD Arsenal

1532: RED CARD Arsenal
In the wet conditions at the Reebok, Abou Diaby goes flying in on Gretar Steinsson. A poor tackle. Arsene Wenger stands and stares mournfully ahead.

Oh cock

LOL @ digging at Liverpool after Arsenal get ANOTHER red card. Did you mean Arsene?

Better news - Pompey ahead at home to Wigan.

Corner.

Closest yet to a goal. Our corner is collected on the edge of his area by Roberts who is fouled after running 50 yards. Thunder-blaster of a free-kick saved by Marcus.

[Royalupnorth]

Good save from USA. Followed by a crap throw, possibly foul play.

Now handbags at 10 paces

[Royalupnorth]

USA now booked for his part in the handbags

[cmonurz]

Hahnemann and Nelsen booked after Nelsen interfered with Marcus clearing the ball upfield. Hahnemann a little 'enthusiastic' in trying to claim the ball back.

Bolton 2-0 Arsenal

[Kitsondinho]

Once again, due to other teams, we really need to pull this one out of the bag.
