Not exactly the win we had hoped for - however i'd rather have a replay than a loss anyday..
Reading played magnificently well, with something to prove.. i admired the effort in them.. but not enough admiration to want them to win at anfeild.. we'll kill 'em there for sure..
It was nice seeing newbie Steven Darby get some first team action.. he was full of nerves at first but made some good interventions later on in the match and made the point that he belongs in that first team. Looking forward to seeing more from him..
Aquilani was a dissapointment in me opinion in this match.. the lack of confidence was evident on his face which wasn't all that reassuring.. he made a good effort in keeping the ball however i feel the pace of english football is a bit much for him.. however to be fair he hasn't had that much play time.. so has major chance for improvement if giving the chance to play..
Transfer rumours.. i tried not to get into them but i can't help it.. According to sky news Rafa is apparantly in talks with Atletico Madrid over Maxi Rodreguez? We need someone in midfield.. so could be a good move for Rafa to make..
Ruud Van Nistelrooy? Emile Heskey? Well sorry but i dont read The Sun neither should any of you.. anything out of that newspaper is a lie. So if i have any real information with substance I'll post it in here.
Don't Read The Sun! Justice for the 96.
