My post was massively ambiguous.AberdeenYid said:I was massively taking the piss anyway. :adelol:
S.L.R said:Was Arry taking the piss out of "70 page dossiers" then? Look I don't want to get in the Arry debates on here now particularly, but fuck sake man, sort yourself out. Did AVB sack you?
Good old Arry, eh? "I am amazing, I'm triffic, I'm the best".

But on another note:
Tottenham hand Sandro a licence to roam and Reading are left exposed
Flexibility and fluidity of Sandro, Moussa Dembélé and Gylfi Sigurdsson impressive in Spurs' 3-1 defeat of Reading

Pretty good article.
Spot on with this point:
Lennon's run was also an example of André Villas-Boas's influence. Under Harry Redknapp the winger received the ball to feet, then attempted to dribble past the full-back – but he is now expected to make intelligent, purposeful off-the-ball runs to collect passes played in behind the defence.
Dude, it's Reading. I'd be very worried if they weren't. All due respect to Reading, but we should be smashing newly promoted sides. There's a tremendous gulf in quality, and we can't pat ourselves on the back too much and think we've done everything perfectly correct just because we beat them.Éperons said:I don't really agree. It was hard for me to follow the midfield in the match, but it really looked like these three were clicking, covering for each other all over the place. It was very, very exciting, and it was exactly what I want to see more of (Sandro going box-to-box and not sitting back as a DM).VirginiaSpur said:Don't think there are a lot of tactical lessons to be gleaned from this match.

Would this be in the same way Utd and City (at home) smashed Southampton

and Reading went to Chavs and pushed them
Smolik said:Agree with that. The really loud 'Glory, Glory Hallelujah' near the end of the game gave me a semi
Thelonious said:People sat at the back and at the very front of the block/stand were singing at every opportunity, a bunch of shit cunt fucks sat in the middle sat for the entire game. I just don't comprehend why people would spend in excess of £40 to not attempt to enjoy themselves.
Perhaps they were friends/family of people within the club so didn't pay.
