trousers Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Draw best result? Or Sunderland to win so Reading are cut adrift with QPR?
Thedelldays Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 draw...or failing that, sunderland win..... definitely NOT a reading win... the more the bottom 2 are cut adrift at the mo, the better
S-Clarke Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Couple of reds for Sunderland, a couple of injuries, and a morale-draining 0-0 draw.
Saint_clark Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 0-0 draw with Sessengon being sent off.

Miltonroader07 Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 A fire in the dressing room putting both first teams in hospital untill the end of the seaspon !!!..........................................JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE....................... maybe!
Saint Charlie Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 1. Draw 2. Reading 3. Sunderland Draw priority, if either has to win then Reading because they are poor and IMO will be down. Sunderland win is bad news - they have better players that are under performing and if they win could go on a run, including the game at SMS - keep them down there in poor form as long as we can.
stevegrant Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Controversial: Reading win for me, they're clearly nowhere near good enough to stay up so I really don't think we have to worry about them over the course of the season. Sunderland should be doing much better than they are, so the fewer points they pick up when they should, the better, IMO.

Sunderland should be doing much better than they are, so the fewer points they pick up when they should, the better, IMO. Agree with this. Im already confident we'll finish ahead of Reading and QPR- but Sunderland, Newcastle, Villa and Wigan, not so much.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Not controversial SG. A Sunderland win would be the worst result.
stevegrant Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Not controversial SG. A Sunderland win would be the worst result. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate where some are coming from in wanting Sunderland to win so Reading and QPR are cut adrift completely, and there's some merit in a situation where we know we're fighting to avoid being the one worst team out of the rest, but with the fixture list sending Sunderland our way next week, we could do without them having any confidence. They go to Old Trafford on Saturday as well...

Saint Charlie Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 And they have City boxing day I think.
Window Cleaner Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 draw would be handy, don't know how Reading will manage that though.
scotty Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 A draw would be ideal, failing that a reading win and chants of "O'Neill Out" from the sunderland fans.
Dark Munster Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Time to wheel out the old wish: mass brawl, 5 players sent off for both teams, match abandoned, both teams docked 3 points. Failing that, 0-0 with a couple of sendings off each.
Minsk Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 1. Draw 2. Reading 3. Sunderland Draw priority, if either has to win then Reading because they are poor and IMO will be down. Sunderland win is bad news - they have better players that are under performing and if they win could go on a run, including the game at SMS - keep them down there in poor form as long as we can. This. Especially as a Sunderland win would put them back above us. A draw or loss would keep them below us. Follow that with a dicking at Old Trafford and then we could put space between us when we play them. i don't want us dropping back into the bottom three before we next play.
Didcot Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Can't see Reading winning, IMO they are completely dire. 1-1
Appy Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 If Sunderland can't beat Reading they deserve to go down, they are ****ing sh1te.
Saintjersey Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Surely a Reading win? If we are scared of Reading and can't finish above them then we deserve to get relegated. Reading will finish bottom IMO.
saintmatt Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/158358/2/watch-sunderland-vs-reading-fc.html stream here chaps
S-Clarke Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Sunderland lead. No surprise seeing that horrific Reading lineup. They've got no chance of staying up. Will finish bottom IMO.
St Chalet Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Reading forum reporting that Guthrie walked off the training ground when he heard he was not starting. They are going to pieces.
stevegrant Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Reading forum reporting that Guthrie walked off the training ground when he heard he was not starting. They are going to pieces. Guthrie's appeared to have problems there ever since he arrived. Very odd. Apparently there's some sort of issue with Alex Pearce as well (saw loads of references to it on that Reading forum that was linked earlier in the week), although no idea what that entails.
saintmatt Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 nice stream thanks saintmatt If you ever have any issues with the stream, the links at the top are all for this match so plenty of backup! Almost all are English commentary as well, god bless First Row Sports!

Pearce is out of contract in the summer and refusing to sign a new one. Fans want him starting but he isnt being picked apparantly because of the contract situation. Meanwhile after BMD said he wants Prem experience in Jan the owner is picking players in Russia!
pingwing Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Good god Reading are poor. I thought they were bad Saturday but this is embarrassing, they have no plan of attack and seem unable to deal with Sunderlands only attack of go wide and hope it gets to Fletcher.
Deano6 Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Well that was fun while it lasted. 2-0, game over. Back to having 3rd fewest points in the division.
Saint_clark Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Well that was fun while it lasted. 2-0, game over. Back to having 3rd fewest points in the division. Adkins out.
stevegrant Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Good god Reading are poor. I thought they were bad Saturday but this is embarrassing, they have no plan of attack and seem unable to deal with Sunderlands only attack of go wide and hope it gets to Fletcher. They're dreadful. My only real criticism of our performances in recent weeks is the inability to put teams to the sword when we've been so far on top. Newcastle and Reading should have been done for 4 or 5 goals apiece, and think what our goal difference would look like if that had happened. Sunderland have struggled to score goals all season and yet they look like they could get double figures tonight.
Appy Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 2-0. Down to 16th. I'd take that all day and all night at the end of the season.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Reading need to start playing like they did v United, only tonight though. A nice demoralising draw after Sunderland led 4-0 would be ace !
pingwing Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 We can still beat them, Sunderland are very one dimensional, out wide, wip it, see what happens. On repeat. No real control of the ball or drawing players out of position. Just as long as we control the ball we will be fine against this.
Appy Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Sunderland winning this is no bother in terms of them gaining confidence. They go to Old Trafford on Saturday.
Lighthouse Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 I know the boat has sailed but a draw between relegation rivals is always the best result. 4 points they've dropped instead of just 3. It's maffs, innit.
Saint Garrett Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Need a much improved performance from Reading second half....can't see it happening though. I'd say they're pretty much relegated already
Saint Garrett Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Think Adam Johnson has gone off injured. That would be nice come next week !
Glasgow_Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 McDermott might get the boot after this..... Reading look awful
Saint Garrett Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 McDermott might get the boot after this..... Reading look awful Was thinking the same, they're clueless with a real lack of quality.
Thedelldays Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 (edited) Was thinking the same, they're clueless with a real lack of quality. as people said when we were bottom, re - adkins....there is no point as who would come in...? so far...reading have.. drew at QPR lost at wigan lost at Saints losing at sunderland didnt they lose at villa..? BUT...they have all these teams to play at home yet......and likewise...we have the opposite....maybe it could all change... that is what NickG's on the reading forum would say Edited 11 December, 2012 by Thedelldays
Saint Garrett Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 as people said when we were bottom, re - adkins....there is no point as who would come in...? Think we have higher standards than Reading though to be fair. On a side note, pretty much the same Arsenal side that we played is losing to Bradford!
