Oh dear God. For thirty five minutes we were so much in control it was embarrassing, completely dominating the game. Then we started giving away silly free kicks, conducting a vendetta on Kebe, and suddenly the momentum was lost. Reading came into the game and won more and more set pieces. And when Harte is in the opposition team, you don't want to let them have corners or free kicks around your box. Sooner or later they will score. And sure enough they did. Near post corner, Gorkass, 1-1. Shit.
Then, with acceptance of having to start the second forty five on level terms, disaster in the form of Faubert. He'd looked dodgy earlier, missing a cross that obliged Tomkins to clear off the line. Now the dozy frog did his terrible worst and poked the ball to Hunt who promptly scored. 1-2 and big, big, big trouble given Reading tend to play better in the second 45 than in the first.
Our goal was superb. Nolan laid the ball wide, moved into space, met Taylor's cross brilliantly, forced a superb save, and there was Taylor pouncing on the rebound, taking a touch and finishing like Messi.
We are up against it now. We have to win. Vaz Te hasn't got into the groove yet. Nolan will score. Taylor can bend in a free kick. Nobe is long overdue a goal. Go get 'em boys!
Come On You Irons!

Noble gave the ball away in the corner leading to the first goal. Our midfield is pathetic!
Why the hell is Lansbury not getting a game ahead of Noble, Nolan or even O'Neal is totally beyond me!
Place your bets big Sam goes I'm the next 14 days
We're west ham and we play on the floor.
We're Sam allerdyces robots we kick it in the air

Sickening! We were so far on top in the first 40, but our central defence has been sluggish at times. I thought it was Faye of all people that lost the lad for the corner but Stani may well be right.
Reading seem on one of those once in a generation mission- seem to remember they did much the same years back with either Trevor Senior or even Kerry Dixon leading the line, at a time when they weren't plastic f*ckers.
Why Lansbury wasn't started in front of Vaz Terrible is beyond me.
Vaz Te has to rate right up there with Marco Boogers and Gary Breen as one of the worst players evet to pull on the claret and blue
It would seem Robbie Savage isn't such a idiot after all.
I hate to say it, but it would seem Robbie savage wasn't talking out of his arse after all.
Full Time 2-4.
Frankly, I think we asked for that. For all the endeavour, possession and pressure of the first half, I never thought we looked decisive enough. We should have gone in at half time 2 or 3 up on the strength of the performance, all for the want of a genuine 'cutting edge' in and around the penalty area.
I'm gutted.
gutted! :P Come on Reading!
