Was this the most incredible match in Reading's history? Not for being 2-0 down with 19 minutes to go and winning 3-2 away. But for being absolutely battered for 71 minutes, should have been 6-0 down, and THEN winning 3-2. I've heard of comebacks but not to this extent after the game being so one-sided for so long.

SORRY.

Gus the teenage cow
Gus the teenage cow we can turn this around, get hrk and manset on for hunt and church and really go at these, jem on for tabb too......we are strong coming from behind, i can see us taking this 3-2, call me nuts but i don't get it wrong often



probably the greatest post in the history of this portal right there


while everyone was moaning and whinging I backed he boys

it was a million to one shot but i got it right.....again


in fact that single post is probably more impressive than the comeback tonight, i may start a thread about that post, it's greatness is undeniable, it's probably the single greatest post of the internet era, i am immortal now


Had you not followed up with this self appreciation, it would have been a beaut of a post, but quoting yourself with self gratification has undone all the good work.

The better post belongs to the goof that tried a war of words with Focher, the worst put down since Spaceys last one.

No

The "Linden Jones" game was - can't remember who we played though, but remember Linden scoring an OG then almost single handedly rescuing the game

Reusing this as it's not worth a thread of it's own, has anyone watched the match video on the OS? I'll swear Dellor videoed it on his phone off the TV in the lobby!

Nice flick! If that had been Rooney it would have been shown on the half hour every hour for 72 hours on Sky Sports News.

If that's indicative of the standard of our defending in the rest of the game, it is literally a miracle that we didn't get absolutely hammered there.
Maybe we are blessed, and hence, I am now backing us for automatic.
