We'll f@@@ing need it

I'm off to apologise to the cat for no good reason

Walcott in and starting up front for Arsenal.

[Simon's Church]

Phew, I was worried Guthrie's apology had worked and we'd have a cm option on the bench, luckily not.

Pah. Poor decision. As if Walcott will perform up against Gorkss and Mariappa.

What, no Guthrie..? What a joke..

Listened to McDermott on the radio this morning and when asked about Roberts, he said that he wasn't sure if he had got past his knock, or words to that effect.. Ridiculous

[NTRoyal]

Nice to see the old school 4-4-2 remain in place. Can't begin to imagine how many gr8 sides have done well with it in the 00's/10's.

[Ian Royal]

Oh Good. Gorkss has been rehabilitated after two games for Pearce. I look forward to shouting in frustration at the screen as he makes mistake after mistake.

[Mike Hunt]

Don't need bro. We got JMac on the wing to go there.

[Mike Hunt]

I am predicting
Reading 0 - 6 Arsenal.

Please let it be Carzorla to score them all.

In your dream team, per chance?

[PBR]

not looking forward to this tbh

[cmonurz]

Watching this from a sports bar in Stockholm. Shit team. Presumably Guthrie is 'injured'.

Or still learning the Reading way.

[Royalee]

Poor team selection, poor management, poor result on the way. Hopefully Anton will act fast.

will there be a minutes ovation for the victims of sandy hook elementary school shooting?

Seriously, if that's our best team, we might as well ask to leave the Premier League now.

[Badger Finger]

Nothing brightens up an already terrible Monday quite like seeing Ledge keep his place on the team...

I think we might pick up marginally more points and goals by fielding that side than by conceeding every match 3-0 automatically. But it's close.
