Drogba clears off the line, Cudicini knocked clean out by Sonko. He's out cold.

Just back from the pub in Leamington and I'm still buzzing. That was a fantastic performance, I think I've fully consumed every last inch of nail on my body. It's such a shame to come away from a performance like that with nothing to show for it, we really pressed in the second half and, although we played 10 men for the most of it, it does bode extremely well for our survival prospects when we can play like that against the Champions.

Disappointed we lost, but so proud of my Reading.

I'm just watching the 'Special One' ranting on about Hunt's challenge on Cech... "disgraceful, could have killed him, blah blah" ...anyone who saw it on TV (or coming back from match) have an opinion?

[Ian Royal]

We were outstanding the entire game. When Kitson is back we will rock this premiership. gave the ball away a bit cheaply sometimes and lost out a bit because we weren't cynical cheating bastards. But we have less players in the hospital so who cares.

Matched them all game and bar one flukey goal should have come away with a point at least.

From TV replay it looked accidental, Hunt was simply running very quickly and just ran straight through Cech's head - nasty impact but nothing malicious.

absolutely nothing wrong with it. his knee accidently caught Cech as he ran past after challenging for the ball. Jose can kiss my arse, there was nothing wrong with it. Or the one that got Cudecini

He's probably wondering who Chelsea will have in goal against Barcelona on Wednesday. It was a hard fought win for the away team that came at a price.

would be unfair to say Hunt left his foot in

[BobKnows]

That was the interpretation on five-live too. If Jose had his way, though, the police would be taking Hunt in for attempted murder as we speak

[Abbo]

Mourinho is a drama queen of the highest order. I imagine if he gets a runny nose he thinks M15 have infiltrated his house and planted germs on his pillow.

[M4 Junction 11]

I wonder if abramovich will buy in a couple more keepers for the 26 Dec. We should definately play Hunt away at chelsea and more of the same from Sonko
