Mad Dog's Ghost On current form and league placings, sadly the Derby game is a relegation six pointer.

Going back a couple of postings, Tony Gubba is a broadcasting legend. Always seems to get the Reading gig and seems to love us, especially Hunt.


No game can be a relegation six pointer when it's the 9th game each side will have played. Regardless of this weekend's results.

This happens every season.

The media like early season tables as it means they can make these silly quotes.

There should be no published tables and until game 10 if I had my way.

It is harshly early to be billing this fixture as a 6-pointer, but think it's fair. I'd take a win against anybody, but especially against the likes of Wigan and Derby. And it's not like the tables are that far from how they'll finish. The big boys are at the top, the weaklings (and Spurs!) are at the bottom.

The BBC Reading looked well organised with Ibhamima Sonko brilliantly leading the line at the back

Whoopee! We've picked up yet another member of the Kitson family! :shock:

... for those of you too busy to read the whole thing ....

Reading took the lead in the 52nd minute when Hunt's ball into the box from the left went through Lita's legs and Dan Kitson was on hand to score.

Even Jeff Stelling said Kevin Harper today, Chris Kamara had to correct him.

You'd think your own club would get your name right! Either that or we really did play Liam's dad at right back today.

It is the second major injury problem Rooney has suffered this season after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a broken foot, sustained on the opening day of the campaign against Fulham at Old Trafford

watched the game on the box yesterday, and i could not believe how biast setanta were to the 'big' team, it was bordering on ridiculous. ' Reading won't be bothred about losing against Arsenal, because they lnow that they have to pick up points from the little teams like themselves' 'Pride and work ethic can only get you so far, and i think that now reading are finding they dont have enough quality to cut it this season', were two of the many quotes displayed by setanta, and it was mind-numbingly annoying about how whenever we did a good tackle or had a good shot e.g. Gunnarsons shot, they always claimed it has Arsenals mistake, and never a good Reading piece of play. Now i know that we were very defensive during the game and that we have been below par this season, but that is no excuse for these 'pundits' to be biast against us.

Rant Over

with rtg's removed, do you not think they prob have a point??

we are a little team. we were outclassed and whilst Bryn's shot itself was a good piece of skill, was it not a piece of Div 4 defending from Arse that ended up with the ball at his feet, rather than divine Reading FC skill

that said and on a bit of a tangent to your post...Garry Birtles is an absolute tool when it comes to bias against RFC in his commentary

we're not playing well, but it's odd how people seem to assume that we are down there with Derby in the relegation mire

Having just read the Telegraph article, they refer to him as a striker. So god knows how the beeb managed to change that to defender for their rumours page..
