4 down after 40. How and why?

 

[Covstu]

Because they are shite

 

[lordsummerisle]

4-4 now.

We would have been out of sight against Arsenal with our players that are too good for League One, especially after we stuffed them 1-6 last time.

 

[sw88]

Get in!!!!! Not ive not got that excited about a goal in a long while!!

Arsenal pull back from 4-0 !!!!

Readings loss!!

Complaining about injury time going over, even though it was them who made a sub, and their fans held the ball preventing a thrown for atleast 30 seconds! Proves the time is always (or most of the time) added on!!!

 

[Otis]

Because they are shite

Yes, incredibly so.

 

[sw88]

Does this make Reading worse than us at losing a lead? Dont recall us losing a 4-0 lead before (not yet anyway...)

Only because I doubt any of us recall us having a 4-0 lead. Probably haven't in my life time.

You must be very young then.

 

[CovLis86]

Care to share when the last time we went 4-0 up was? I remember a couple of big wins with Eric black, but I don't think we went 4 up in them.

 

[Otis]

3 1/2 is my guess.

At least twice under Dowie both times against Barnsley.

We hae had some. Few and far between though. Rushden and Crewe games must have had a fair few goal difference at some point (was it 6 or 7-1 V Rushden in the cup at Highfield Road? 5-1 v crewe? Might be out on these scores; its late and im tired and cba to check if this is fact or not )

 

[kg82]

Colchester away?

 

[CovLis86]

Just twice. But nice to have them all the same. Back when adebola was our goal machine.

 

[percy]

v derby 2005 as well i think

That did make me chuckle. :claping hands:

Not just twice; just two examples. Three if you include the Barnsley mention above (maybe even twice v them)

Jesus! Now Reading have made it 5-5!!

 

[Sutty]

There was a game under Eric Black where we went 4 up inside 30 minutes.

Best got two in the last 4-0 against Barnsley, best attacking performance from the City seen in a long time(and we had some good results under Dowie as well).

After 4-0 i was screaming at us to stop attacking, as I had a fiver on a 4-0 at 40/1, never been so relieved to see us miss chances.

A few days later Ranson sacked Dowie, and the exciting Chris Coleman era was just beginning..

Were they before you were born then?

 

[Otis]

I would say CovLis was born in 86.

Unless she is 86 of course.

Preston @ Highfield Road - Midweek if my memory is correct Gunnarrsson scored 2 one was a penalty think it finished 4-2 was all going well bak then until.........we sack Black for Peter Reid.........Jesus !!!!

 

[sw88]

6-5 Arsenal!

 

[sw88]

7-5 after Reading through everything up front!

 

[Otis]

Because they are shite

7-5 shite!!

 

[lordsummerisle]

Incredible!

 

[ccfc92]

What a brilliant game :claping hands:

Wenger didn't look happy to get thru

Hate to have seen him on his wedding day.

 

[Skybluebrummie]

Fookinell I bet the Reading manager is gonna have a few sleepless nights after that .....4-0 and they fecked it up.................

 

[sw88]

Shame that tomorrows papers will probably be around the officials again! Although tbf to Mr Friend he got everything right tonight imo! Its not Man U so they most likely wont analyse what a game that was!

 

[sw88]

Ha! Theo throwing the match ball away whwn hes told the equaliser wasnt awarded to him!

Edit: just seen goals back on sky analysing them and the ref blew for the goal before Jenkinson put it away (although lino just stood still)

 

[speedie87]

What a game

 

[Sick Boy]

Preston @ Highfield Road - Midweek if my memory is correct Gunnarrsson scored 2 one was a penalty think it finished 4-2 was all going well bak then until.........we sack Black for Peter Reid.........Jesus !!!!

That was two home games in a row, 4-0 against Burnley and 4-1 vs Preston, it was hard to believe it was actually Coventry City.

 

[MusicDating]

Fk me, just seen the final score!

Not as good as our 5-4 v Forest mind you!
