Norwich v. Reading

[Linz]

What are we hoping for?

A) Norwich beat Reading... meaning Reading want to win on the last day to secure a home fixture on the second leg of the play offs?

B) A draw

C) Reading beating Norwich... meaning they have something to play for on the last day but potentially, scuppering our chances of promotion?

reading to win

 

[keenzy]

Reading to win, they will go at brum then. If we win, it dosen't matter if reading win also.

 

[stinkyblade]

A Reading win will see them have more incentive to play against Birmingham. Not worried bout Birmingham anyway. They fucked up when it really mattered and can't see them doing it this time around.

Two Reading wins will see them promoted above us though if we fail to get anything at Palace... better goal difference.

not if we win

not if we win

Yeah... edited

Can we really rely on United to win under pressure though?

 

[DazBlade88]

I'd rather Reading win also. It gives them more chance of going up, but if we did mess it up I'd rather play Birmingham in the playoffs than them.

But as things stand we'd have to play Burnley first. That'll be the Burnley who recently did the double over us. I think I'm starting to lean towards preferring Reading not to win, and narrowing it down to just us and Brum.

Reading will still have home advantage in the play-offs to play for v Brum too, if they don't win tonight.

That's true.

I suppose all United have got to do is go and win. If we win and we don't go up, at least we did our bit on the final day.

I can't remember a final day where we've gone and done what we needed to do though!

All of that's spot on

 

[rachyblade]

I'm really not bothered... what will be will be, had so many twists so far this season, and whatever i want will probably go against us on the last day somehow.
So i am staying well out of wanting anything tonight.

 

[DazBlade88]

I've changed my mind.

I want them to draw tonight and beat Birmingham, that way we only need a point!

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Regardless of tonights result versus norwich city, reading won't want to go into the playoffs on the back of a losing streak and should still have the minerals to want to stuff brum!

 

[Linz]

Still 0-0... just going up to half time.

thats what i want aswell to be honest

 

[Linz]

Half time... 0-0. Both sides have had chances and Norwich had the best of the play going up to half time.

 

[SheepdipBlade]

And from the clips on Sky, Norridge seem to be having all the pressure - might be wrong cos I'm just getting quick glimpses whilst I'm at work.

Still like a Reading win though - reckon that'll go a good way to seeing Brum off - - even though I like the away days to Carrow Road.

 

[Linz]

Reading are definitely being favoured by the ref... both sides having few chances in the second half. 65 minutes played.

 

[Bladesman]

1-0 Reading

 

[Linz]

1-0 Reading

Shite defending.

 

[matth]

Dirty bloody plastics... Rosenior should have been off, and how Bikey gets away with much of his filth is beyond me.

 

[Bladesman]

2-0 Reading

 

[matth]

The commentators seem to think that it's pretty much a given that the Plastics are going back up. Why? And why do commentators and the press have such a hard-on for that wanky little club?

 

[tenerifeblade]

I didnt want Reading to win. They worry me more than Brum. Do we HAVE to win now? Just hope we dont miss out on goal difference to them. That would be just typical.....

 

[MAQ]

At this moment in time, I love shane long!!!!

 

[DazBlade88]

At least we know what we have to do to stand a chance. It's a case of win and hope Birmingham don't now.

Yup. We HAVE to win, AND if Brum don't win, we're up. If we don't win, we can't go up automatically.

Steve Coppell, I'd imagine. Either that or they all live nearby.
