doddisalegend Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Bias pro-Reading article on BBC website essentially calling us a one man team. Nice. Yeah just read it what a crock this bit takes the **** Unlike Southampton, Reading do not have a marksman as prolific as Lambert but have instead shared the load around the team. It is something Williams, who is regarded as one of the club's greatest ever defenders, believes has been crucial to their success. "The highest goal scorer at Reading is on nine," he added. "But that is the most pleasing thing about this Reading team, the goals have been shared around. "Reading aren't a one-trick pony. There are numerous players who can pop up and score the winner. There are a lot of goals in the Reading squad and I think the style of play is their best attribute. Yeah we're a one tricky pony cuase no other players in our team have scored:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landford.saint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Don't feel sorry for me! In hospital waiting for anaesthetist. Having op on knee this morning. Turns out surgeon is massive saints fan too so I have complete faith in him! Had two tickets for tonight but reg of London saints has taken them off my hands. Was a very very very difficult decision to have the op today on biggest game of season? But at least ill see it on telly! Had my knee op Tuesday. Be at StM with Mrs LS tonight. Dont know how knee will take to 2 X 45 MINS of standing. But win will be best pain killer. All the best for op DBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Buzzing for this. I'm off to get good and drunk to take the edge off. An afternoon drinking in town and a top of the table clash involving the Saints. Can't think of a better way to spend a friday off work. For anyone nervous - remember the last 1st vs 2nd crunch game at SMS? A great performance and a thoroughly deserved win. Same again tonight.

We've got 3 players who have scored more than their top scorer, and one of our centre halfs is only 3 behind. Jos Hooiveld hattrick tonight....

doddisalegend Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Bearsy too young for Friday night wins! I'm only familiar with David Armstrong cos there was this old game vs. Forest re-run on tv the other day and I was laughing at this little old man we seemed to have playing in midfield. It turned out to be David Armstrong... Age 29!!! My dad gave me a football signed by David Armstrong when I was about 6 I loved that ball couldn't believe a saints player had signed it. Still don't actually remember much about Armstrong other than he had no hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Good, isn't it. We've got 3 players who have scored more than their top scorer, and one of our centre halfs is only 3 behind. Jos Hooiveld hattrick tonight.... I know funny how having a top scorer on 9 goals is seen as a good thing having one on 26 goals means you're a one man team...........

Danbert Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 The BBC absolutely hates us. Always has. First noticed during their radio commentary of the 1979 League Cup final when I was 10. I've seen how they update their latests scores and active table on match day. Its disgraceful. It can take 15mins to show when we score, 30 seconds when the opposition does. That's right they're out to get you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably just takes you 15 mins to see through your permanent red mist and realise that we have scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
