Reading v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Richard C]

I sat amongst the Reading fans today, if you think Brummies moan, fuck me this lot took the biscuit, non stop.
Great result but oh my, Lowton is woeful, Bannan ran the midfield first 45 but it was only Reading.
Lambretta on the pitch now which is nice to see.

He will be at full throttle.

Bloody hell!!!! Needed that. Still look shaky but hey 3 points!!!!!

We had to win this and we did. I am a bag of jingling nerves. Tried following a stream but was too nervous. Don't like listening to radio so followed the match thread. Early second half went for a walk in the garden...tried to do a bit of clearing up but had to get back in and followed it on match thread. I did not post because my fingers had no strength to tap keyboard. What a relief.

We are men after the same heart, I find gardening helps to pass the time when we are ahead!

When Sylla starts Villa always win.

That is a fact.

Out of the relegation zone. We wont be in t again this season either. Our relentless ascent starts here.

[Jimbo]

Thank fuck. If we're going to stay up, we're going to do it the really hard way.

Particularly liked the emotion showed after the game by our lot, surprised to see Bannan give a shit.

Outside the fullback positions I thought we played well and were easily the better side.  Lowton and Baker both had a terrible time though.

I thought the selection in midfield worked perfectly, Westwood, Sylla and Bannan were all a big part of us winning that and we could have made it a lot more comfortable.

I also thought Gabby, Weimann and Benteke playeed well as a unit, Gabby is a very raw player but you get the odd glimpse of how good he could be.  His goal was superb and the one that went just past the post was a great effort.

No effing idea how Pearce at the back for them wasn't red carded, 3-4 blatent shirt pulls on Benteke and the ref didn't give any of them, 1 in particular denied Benteke a simple one-on-one.

Guzan was excellent as usual.  Clark had a good game after Monday and looked pretty comfortable, Vlaar got caught out by the flight a few times and came underneath the ball, but otherwise did his job well.

As a team, if we can get the confidence up we are a good side when we keep the ball and have players looking to find space.

[Axl Rose]

Gabby-i love you.

[flybo]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yes

[pauliewalnuts]

That was buttock clenchingly horrible, and I suspect this season will see me into an early grave.

[olaftab]

Please may I stay up and watch match of the day tonight? I will tidy my room

Yes but only if you eat all your greens as well!

[saunders_heroes]

Thank Christ for that!
Gabby the big game player! More next week please!

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Excellent and gives us real confidence going into the QPR game.
Looking forward to it, bring it on.
