[Tredder]

Is that the end of Sonko at Reading?

[Wealdstone at home]

Bit worried about Bikey & Ivar up against Cruz and Roberts - Cruz is very good at losing markers at set pieces and crosses from open play - this is Bikey's weakness and Cruz will be far too powerful in the air for Ivar and Ivar can sometimes get too tight and get turned - Roberts strength. Hope I'm wrong and our boys play a blinder.

If things go our way (and with Bolton playing Arsenal there is a good chance they will) we could be 7 points clear of 18th tonight. Key game this (but then they all are). Good to see us playing our strongest line-up.

1515: GOAL Bolton 1-0 Arsenal

Poo.

Scored by Taylor.

Arsenal not having much luck with the Taylors this season.

[Dickie's Spear]

It's been a messy start, but Reading appear to be looking the better side so far.
There was a brilliant passage of play earlier by Oster who beautifully beat his
man and put a dangerous ball in for Hunt, who almost scored.

Derby 1-1 Fulham (kamara)

[cmonurz]

Rubbish from Clattenburg who is fast going down in my estimations after the last few weeks. Nelsen pulls Doyle back when he would have been away approaching the box, and no booking. Unbelievable.

[Royalupnorth]

Great strike from John Oster.

So close

[cmonurz]

Derby 1-1 Fulham (kamara)

And Sunderland 1-1 West Ham too.

[Dickie's Spear]

Great strike from John Oster.

So close

Close to a throw in from the shot on goal.!!!
