Gav No beef with Rodgers at all; stubborn as a mule, idealistic, misguided, somewhat arrogant and ultimately a total and utter mismatch under the circumstances, but there's no doubt in my mind that he's Reading all the way through and is pleased we've pushed on well.
Saying this, there's no doubt he'll be determined to beat us for his own professional pride and it'll be an incredible contest.
I'm more concerned with not losing to Rodgers than beating him. Swansea, on the other hand, I want to utterly thrash.
If Swansea win, Rodgers can crow.
But I bet if Reading win it'll be because he nurtured Karacan, discovered Cummings, developed Long, etc.
I can hear the interview now.
