For people who can't get to the site at work:
After the contoversy surrounding Stephen Hunt (left) and the injured Petr Cech it was back to the football yesterday as Arsenal came to the Madjeski Stadium.
Summary
Reading are left reeling today after being outclassed at the Madjeski Stadium yesterday.
The late afternoon kick-off saw them soundly beaten by an Arsenal side who not only went out to play decent attacking football but who also treated the berkshire locals to some slick attacking football.
The slick attacking football however was only a product of the Reading players urge to give Arsenal respect and time on the ball which not only gifted Arsenal the game but the First, second and thrid goals.
The Reading starting line up had two changes with De La Cruz in for the injured Murty and youngster Shane long(who had impressed in the reserves 5-0 rout of portsmouth in midweek) in for Lita who was an unused substitute.
The game started in an abrupt fashion with Henry bagging the first in just under a minute this set the tone for the match as all of Arsenal's goals came from quick one touch passing into space (Reading players should take note).
The second goal was bought about from a defensive mishap giving Hleb the chance to tuck it away. The second half bought some positives to Readings game, eventhough they conceded two more goals (fabregas, Henry penalty respectively) they started to play a lot like Arsenal, this hunger to learn could ensure Readings survival for many more years to come.

-This is the first time i will ever say this but 4-5-1 could have kept the scoreline down.
...............................................................Hahnemann.........................................................................
.........DLC...............................sonko................................ivar.........................................shorey......
..........Little....................Harper...................Gunarsson..................Sidwell...................hunt
.................................................................Lita....................................................................................
In midfield i would have Hunt and little who are more comftable attacking supporting lita, Gunarsson in a holding role intercepting the ball when Arsenal come forward, Harper supposting the midfield off the ball marking and closing down players leaving Sidewell free to roam forward.
- Seol looked tired in the second half, seol to replace little with 30 minutes to go next match me thinks.
- please note: Shane long is only 19 years old he will be preimiership class just not yet, so why don't we loan him out for a season to a lesser team instead of chucking him in the deep end against the champions league finalists?.
- Yesterday we gave Arsenal too much respect just like in the carling cup game last season, can we please stop licking Arsenals arse and play like we normally do.
- In a 4-4-2 formation we need a target man, someone who can play alongside Doyle or Lita who can also take chances, because Doyle and Lita's style of play do not go well together. I predict we'll swoop for Nugent in January.
-Finally i reccomend that we don't let our heads go down and bounce back against Portsmouth urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I tell you what, with all the jism flying about how wonderful Arsenal are, it's strangely refreshing reading to remember that we were far from our best...
