Reading are a great side

Dumpstar · 23rd September 2006, 19:18

No, seriously. Kudos to them for coming up and mixing it with the big boys.

However....can't help but

MrMarcello · 23rd September 2006, 19:19

Everton are pretty impressive as well.

Dumpstar · 23rd September 2006, 19:20

Everton haven't just come up. They've played in the Champions League dontchaknow?

Phil · 23rd September 2006, 19:22

Sheffield United? Gerrard dive? robbing cunts?

MrMarcello · 23rd September 2006, 19:23

Did Reading get 3 points today? A shit penalty call helped them to 1 point.

Everton took 3 points, btw. But clubs that have played in Europe are expected to take 3 points at home.

beergod · 23rd September 2006, 19:24

I like it when a promoted side comes up and plays good football. I'd much rather watch Reading than most of the teams that languish in midtable every year.

Dumpstar · 23rd September 2006, 19:24

Please stick to the topic. Reading a very good side, credit to them. They just took two points of the already crowned champions of England 2006.

According to LFC fans and plenty of media types, that would be Liverpool. I don't recall Reading having played LFC this term. Did I miss something?

Completely agree. I loved watching Wigan last season and I'll be keeping an eye on Reading games from now on (in the carling cup, etc).

No, Reading are a poor side who will get thrashed by the majority of teams they play this season.

Liverpool ARsenal and Chelsea will all beat them by 3 or more goals.

We fucking hammered them but failed to win due to a shit penalty.

We are still 3 points ahead of your bunch of shit though and Chelsea will win the title again as I predicted at the start of the season.

And as I recall... Liverpool were supposed to be the only challengers to Chelsea this season... so lets all have a good

about that.

Just waiting for the arrival of guvnorgaz and his ilk to tell me the game was unimportant manud have already won the league after their 4 straight victories. Liverpool's season ended with the defeat to Chelsea dontchaknow.

Phil · 23rd September 2006, 19:30

Sheffield United.

Steven Gerrard.

I'm sure.... 3 points behind us must be horrible.

You've just beaten 2 poor sides yourselves... well done.

Shame you're not so good when it comes to proving your title challenge against Chelsea... or Everton

Picked a bad pic to post. He went on to lift the European cup an hour after that.

really? i thought Liverpool were already champions, they said it in the summer, they did say it the year before about 2005 and the year before in 2004 (repeat 16 times)

Interesting how when you beat spurs you all banged on how it meant you were genuine title contenders.

i didnt. We were lucky to beat Spurs and since then we have played pretty poor. If we are to be classed as "contenders" we need to beat the likes of fucking Reading. No excuses really today. Soft penalty but we didnt do enough to win.

RioNkeanofan · 23rd September 2006, 19:57

Well they must be "great" they´ve got the same amount of points as you lot.

Nem 7 · 23rd September 2006, 20:05

Good team, good performance.

Guvnorgaz · 23rd September 2006, 20:10

Reading look a good side, another team to fight the dippers for a UEFA Cup place

we are as genuine contenders as any other side in this country....

contenders for 2nd place that is... just like your lot and Arsenal.

Chelsea will win the legue by at least 9 points again this season and nothing I've now seen from United Arsenal or Liverpool this season so far has made me think any different.

DJSpaz · 23rd September 2006, 20:11

Today proved one thing, and that is that while Chelsea play shit, they have it about them to win regardless.

Ourselves and United are more 'human' and slip up a 'normal' amount. Chelsea are like a boring, efficient machine and win far more often than not, completely independent of how they perform.

Not knocking them for it, it's what wins titles and 95% of fans (of any team) would more than happily take that kind of output from their side.

In any case, whatever anyone says, they win week in, week out...whether they play well or not. And consequently, they'll win the title again.

yep... pretty much sums it up for me.

another season fighting for second..... shall we agree to ignore 1st place and have our own personal United V Liverpool 2nd place championship again this season?

DJSpaz · 23rd September 2006, 20:22

I've said it before and i'll say it again...

2nd is the new 1st.
