Reading v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

I am shitting it now. I actually think we will win but this could be a long and tortuous afternoon.

[Fernando Partridge]

Travelled from London and I'm in reading for this one though sitting home end. Think it could be a goal fest 4-3 to us ! 

[Jon Crofts]

It's the Reading 0 bit I cant get past.  They'll score, a gift at some point in the game as the inevitable ball watch/fuck up/fail to mark will happen.  Still think, we'll win, Reading are shite. 

Better go, train to catch for the 25 minute ride to Reading.

Reporting live from the derilect site of the old Hewlett Packard factory and watching the wind turbine turning above the stadium. loads of people here already including plenty of Villa.

What did the other "experts" reckon to Merse's audacious forecast?

[cheltenhamlion]

Le Tissier went 2-1 Villa, Nicholas had Reading to win 3-2 and Thompson went 0-0.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Belief.

I know we have it and I hope Reading don't.

I think it's belief, or rather a lack of, that will get us relegated. We didn't have the belief to go and win the game after we equalised against Arsenal. We didn't have the belief we could see out the games against Everton, Swansea, WBA etc. If we had belief, we'd be 10/15 points better off.

Le Tissier went 2-1 Villa, Nicholas had Reading to win 3-2 and Thompson went 0-0.

Phew, I can rest now I know their insightful thoughts. Thanks.
