Hmmmm, if it's Reading next season at least that's a guaranteed 6 points to replace the West Ham 6 points... :?

Was the penalty controversial? I heard Webb is refereeing which always means controversy is close by.

That being said, I think a Swans/Cardiff final would be bad for people's safety haha.

I thought it was a penalty. He was clearly tugging the shirt.

That said, many referees would've ignored it (which doesn't make it right).

Starting to sound like a less talented Balotelli from what I hear in passing. Big ego, big attitude, inconsistent performances.

Used to think he was good. He probably would have made it if he had the right mentality and work rate, like Ian Wright.

He's turned to shite now though, and he doesnt care. Get rid now and watch him float down the leagues.

Too much arrogance for a guy who hasnt done anything! Bendtner the same.

the bloke was able to afford a brand new mercedes at 19, what motivation or desire is there for him to improve

Wenger's fabled youth policy at it's finest

Exactly, he's talked for 15 years of bringing through the best English talent. Cole and Wilshere and that's it.

Best players to have come through the youth set up have been nicked from abroad owing to employment law loopholes in other countries (Anelka, Fabregas etc)

It's just more mythical bollocks that people lap up....

Just had a look at Reading's website and they get a massive 39.000 tickets at Wembley... That's how it should be!!!

Regardless of his attitude (which I know nothing about) I have to say that after watching him in these two games he has all the appearance of a big cumbersome lump unable to move :o I had heard so much about the guy being a future star but he just does not look like he is anywhere near a premiership player for any club much less a club that intends challenging at the top end :roll:

Personally I am delighted reading won and I hope that they complete the job at wembley on may 30th 8) I have to say though that when I look at all the good young players that have played the game without ever really making a name for themselves, I cant help but look at a player like andy griffin and wonder how this guy has played pro football for so long :? For me the guy is solid fcuking useless and I have seen him play in the prem lge with the geordies and pompey and I have always felt that their must be better players lining up for the horse and hound pub team :roll:
