Davis for me. That save from the long range effort where he just about managed to get the slightest touch on it to take it over... not to mention a load of other stops to keep us in the game.

One of my favourite riders, I was looking forward to seeing him develop in MotoGP RIP

He's a Reading fan, and played for them for a long long time. AFAIK He's not currently on our payroll, but we are letting him train with us while he tries to recover from his injury, for which he's very very grateful to us, but he's still Reading at heart.

Point gained I reckon!

Definite point gained there.

Would be disappointed if we don't win now

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

More like it... finally starting to get some space. Maybe Reading's fitness or concentration is starting to tell. Also, these commentators are bloody annoying.

Tight hamstring apparently.

That save gets better and better each time I see it.

Half time has come at a good time for us.

ALF with that sly knee into Davis' thigh. Looked like he meant it to me.

dirty cheating git

That should have been a penalty!

Huh. Could have sworn I remember watching it!

How long ago now is it that we won 2-1 at Anfield on Sky?

It's swings and roundabouts. We lose the protection of the 90 minute rule for local talent, but that also means we can try and recruit the best talent from the whole country before all but three other teams. Not to mention that for youngsters at twelve years old, a catergory one status academy here, with a history of producing youngsters that 'make it' is pretty attractive for the parents not wanting to rip their family up and move away from the area. Out of the four that will get catergory one status, we're probably the one with the best reputation for bringing through talent at the moment. There's a tiny window of opportunity here, if we manage to get promoted this season, and strengthen enough that we're stable in the Prem, and build the academy, then the combination of the reputation of our academy, our position in the league, the pick of some of the most promising talent in the country, as well as being able to train that talent far more than we currently can, along with the new financial fair play rules, could see us becoming a real footballing force over the next few years.

Ah well, I guess we'll stay just the 14 points ahead for now then.

One theory is that tachyons appear to travel faster than light because they're actually travelling backwards in time... If that's what's happened here, with neutrinos changing to tachyons and then back again, it'd still be huge in a physics sense, as it'd be the first time we'd observed something changing the direction it travels through time. That also opens up a huge can of worms on how it interacts with entropy, cause and effect, paradox....

What'll happen to under age players already at academies without the higher status?

Epic is right! If I saw a run like that on someone's Football Manager save, I'd probably accuse them of save scumming. How long was our previous best run? I remember being frustrated so many times because we'd got close to it or equalled it and then failed to break it... Seems fairly safe to say that once it comes to an end we'll never see it broken. (Especially as we could well end up extending it a fair few more games yet)

One thing we DO do well is get right behind the team when they need us most. Just after we concede we always get a loud chant going and it does seem to help fire the team up.

Heh, my dry deadpan sense of humour coming back to bite me online yet again And yeah, it's been based on tickets sold for ages. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1083630/The-truth-modern-day-attendances-How-clubs-count-missing-fans.html
