But as I say, well done for filling 3/4 of your allocation. There was only the summer to save up for the trip after all. So it was a good effort.
He's not a Reading fan, y'know, but nice try.
No singing at Old Trafford? Whodathunkit?

beacuse they are used to the attarctiove football of chelsea or bolton??? don't think he is either of those but umm i cant think of many reasons to defend the 10men behind the ball approach.

He makes a valid point. Not defending Reading, per se, but pointing out the inherent foolishness of your self-righteous anger.
Coppell's wise enough not to set it out like Fulham did on the opening day at OT last year and knows Reading could get relegated this year if they fuck about thinking they're Charlie Big Bollocks. This is the man who was pleased not to get into the UEFA Cup!
Given your signings are (mostly) all about attack, don't be surprised if away teams are a little wary this year

If west ham try and do that i will be pissed off royally. That said if readinf survive by a point it will look like the best decsion ever.

Tevez own goal to win it after good work by mark noble. Followed by a law suit by sheffield united.
We wont be any where near the releagtion places anyway.
And anway we are west ham we cant defend solidly for 90 minutes.

. Yes, yes I can hardly type I'm so angry. But I was disapointed with Reading and Coppell yesterday. All the excitement of the new season, sun out, pitch well watered. Fantastic day for football and only 1 team turned up to play.
Of course I can see why they did it, but still. Will they do the same at home to Chelsea tomorrow night? Hope not.

let me get this right--a supporter of Franchise United is criticising Reading for coming up with an effective glame plan & sticking to it, even when down to 10 men? You're having a larf, surely...
Oh, and Rooney's (brain) injury--a nation mourns!

the sending off was 72 minutes into the game. If it happend 40 mins earlier they may have been forgiven.

Because Reading are entitled to play how they like if they think it'll get them a result. They've no responsibility to entertain Man U fans.
The point is that as the imbalance between the big teams with all the money get bigger it gets to the point where it's increasingly likely to be the case that the only way a team like Reading can hope to get anything from Old Trafford is to play for a 0-0 draw. Of course that's not good from a football point of view but Steve Coppell isn't to blame - the big teams and the people who run football are.
typical manc attitude reading done a great job the onus is on you to break them down with your 100m+ team believe or not its not just about utdMr Retro said:

not man united but theres surely! I refuse to belive any reading fan enjoyed watching that game. Can't say i know any reading fans but everyone who i know who watched it was pissed off with them. Well other then on chelsea fan i know who was laughing at manure the entire time.
And bollocks does it proove the big teams blah blah. Sheffield united last season had a go, bolton tend to have a go even though the football is dire, west ham always have a go and you know what i will guess that both sunderland and derby will have a go and wigan and quite probabley fulham. Yeah there is a big gap in terms of money but its not a cup tie there are no replays and i don't expect to see teams play like that.
And i agree the onus is on the home team to break down the away but the away team shouldn't be looking to defend for 93 minutes.

The Reading fans down the pub seemed to enjoy that game just fine. As did the ABU fans, who sent a deafening cheer around as the final whistle went.
First game of the season, away from home, without your best striker and and against the league champions. Which approach do you think served them better - go out and play an unequal battle, potentially lose 4-0 and go home tail between legs. Or to play tight, smother Utd playmakers, make them look largely toothless, and walk away with an acclaimed result that had pundits talking of their defensive application, togetherness and stability. I know the real fans and team must be glad of the morale boost and solid start.
And I also suspect that kained (a) doesn't know what the bleeding hell he's whingeing on about and (b) is showing sour grapes after Eriksson's unfancied City team romped all around his pitifully remodelled and hopeless Hammers

I would have been there if
a) I wasnt £11 grand in debt.
b) I wasnt working a shift when the game was on.
Not all of us have money to splash around on away trips up north, or waste on a season ticket for a glory hunters club (and I dont care if your Dads Dads Dad went to United I have no respect for ANY Man U fan) which bears the lions share of the blame for the farce that is Premiership football along with BSkyB.

Well, at least they're proper fans. Not like tens of thousands of tragic prawn-eating plastic glory hunting numpties who have no connections at all with Manchester whatsoever. Numbers ain't everything -Reading have decent mature fans, not the weak-willed snivelling types that latched onto any team that was successful when they were at school and didn't have the nuts to grow a local backbone with age.
And their team still drew with your expensively assembled marketing men's wet dream. Kudos to them. And we can only hope that the rising cost of loans sends Glazer and his badly sideburned relatives into a terminal debt slide that takes down Utd and their smug supporters.

gosh! haters galore!! begone with u all!!!!
Iam said:Of course, Arse N All have none of them. Not one.
They're all wise, knowledgable football fans. "Proper fans", if you will.
*falls over*
Who said anything about Arsenal? Or knowledgeable fans for that matter - it's all about the glory hunting nonsense I'm on about. Although I'll wager they have a far higher percentage of their fans in London than Man U do in Manchester.
Care for a bet me old plastic?
