Capital One Cup

Bloody amazing!!!! This is the stuff dreams are made of.

Lambert surely gone now though which isn't good for us?

Be honest - I can't be the only one thinking "if only........."

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Villa were offering free tickets for the final with purchase of next years season tickets before tonights game had even kicked off

Potentially then not getting to wembley and playing championship

Be honest - I can't be the only one thinking "if only........."

You're not.

Congratulations PArky, but no to him becoming our manager. Hasn't proven himself at all capable of managing at Championship level - Hull and Charlton records abysmal.

[Jackson Corner]

Villa are oxf*rd awfull!! How did we lose to them, more to the point how did they win at Liverpool?

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Be honest - I can't be the only one thinking "if only........."

If you're referring to us being in a cup final then yes I'd accept relegation in a heartbeat if it meant a cup final.

If you mean Parky managing then I think no - too soon in his career.

[howser]

Not team or rumours but we all have to have a big well done to Mr Reading, Phil Parky for getting Bradford to Wembley, fantastic for him

A round of 5 Parkinsons called for in a quiet moment on saturday maybe?

The former.

If we'd hung on against Arsenal we would have had a game against Bradford and two games against a free falling Villa to get to Wembley.

Oh well, always next year!

[pearcetom]

Ohh aah! Phillip parkinson!

I have to say the qtr final v Villa the other year was the most gutted I've felt about football in quite a while. I was fully planning my day at Wembley.

Parky = legend

And what makes you think we would have beaten Bradford?

[creative_username_1]

Game Raisers! Why don't they play like that every week. Cheating their fans and manager

[AirRaidSiren]

One of my favourite all time Reading players, lovely bloke too.

Well done, sir.

[Avon Royal]

Didn't say we necessarily would

To be fair, they don't get to play shit teams like Villa every week.

We've been singing it every game since they knocked out Arsenal tbf.

[DandyRoyal]

Villa's tactics were bloody awful, went for broke with 4 up front with half an hour to go and just lobbed it up hoping for knockdowns - amateurish stuff. Thrilled for Bradford, massively deserved.
