Just watching MOTD. Nailed on penalty, no doubt about it. Also, Barry's goal gets funnier every time. What a finish.

October 2010 - Jason Puncheon is booed off by (a minority of) his own fans in League 1 and ends up getting loaned to Millwall a week later. January 2011 - Jason Puncheon slags off Cortese on twitter having been frozen out completely and flopped on loan at QPR. February 2013 - Jason Puncheon scores the opening goal in a convincing 3-1 win against the English Champions and celebrates by wiping his arse on the corner flag, whilst 5,000 fans in the Northam sing, "Jason Puncheon, he sh*ts when he wants." Hands up who predicted that a year ago.

Apparently so.

I might get a printout of the BBC results page framed and hang it on my wall. Couldn't have been better, even in League 1 the results were literally perfect.

Would you have dropped Hooiveld or Yoshida? If you'd asked me (even before 2 tremendous performances tonight) I'd have said neither.

In fairness very few people write players off so rashly. The culture of internet message boards is such that a very vocal minority get a disproportionate amount of attention. It may only be about 6 or 7 out of the couple of thousand registered users we have who wrote off those players. Most people just had doubts, which isn't unreasonable. Afterall you don't get stuck down the bottom of the table without quite a lot of suspect performances from a number of players.

The last properly decent team we beat by my reckoning was Man Utd in August 2003 when Beattie scored from a corner. I don't count Liverpool in 2005, they were crap in the league that year.

joder lo han Spannish for "F**king 'ave it!" according to Google.

10. Stoke - 33 points - -5GD 15. Southampton - 27 points - -9GD 18. Wigan - 21 points - -21 GD In other words we are 8 goals nearer to Stoke than Wigan. Just thought I'd point that out.

I've seen worse players sold for £20m.

Has been an absolute monster the last 2 games. No he isn't quick but the, 'get Forren in ASAP' comments are looking a bit obsolete this evening.

Our performances recently... Arsenal, Everton (well the first half), Wigan, Chelsea comeback... have all been pointing towards a right royal spanking being handed out. I never dreamed we'd do it against the Champions. :D

Also, Skates lose, Colchester, Scunny and Oldham all win. Leaves them 11 points off safety even without a points deduction.

Perfect so far. Takes the pressure off us this evening somewhat. At worst we will be exactly the same as we were this morning but with probably our toughest remaining fixtures out of the way.

Thank feck. No lets hope Stoke don't p*ss off home 10 minutes early like every other team Reading have played in the last month.

Technically there has never been one there, just like the 'Luxemburg' GP. MLG hat coming off.

3 cans of Jupiler and a waffle soon cheered you up. Trying to decide what the most random moment of the weekend was. Finding that WW2 tank in La Roche or the big lorry with a picture of 2 warthogs bumming each other on the back.

We had a thunderstorm on the Friday. Hammered it down all day. Then we had a wet/dry Saturday, damp Sunday morning then rain in the last half hour of the race.

There's a car park in West End which is brilliant for dogging, try finding a place around there.

Just be glad that's all you saw.

You weren't saying that when you fell asleep under Mike's.

Not if you do all the washing up again.

Why don't you move in with JustMike? We can all share a lift into town on matchdays.
