"Reading aren't troubling United, are they? It's all coming from long range or from Nicky Shorey's corners.

"Nemanja Vidic's domination is giving David de Gea licence to stand on his line, and I think that's the right decision, because there's so much pace on Shorey's corners."

Speaks absolute shit

^^ seems a fair summary to me

Yeah, me too!

Nearly an 'Arsenal moment' there right before half-time, cracking volley from Nani.

[sandman]

Yeah can't see what he's said that's particularly wrong.

[Kitsondinho]

They are cutting us open far too often for my liking....it is their mistakes not our defending that is keeping it 0-0.

[windermere_royal]

Jones gone off Nani on, Valencia full back, take him on Jobi

[rhroyal]

Disappointed with McCleary going forward so far.

you are always going to need luck to get anything at OT, we are still in this

[Libertine]

Not a bad half at all. After the first 5 minutes it was very even...

Yeah it's not that bad at all. They are more incisive than us up front, but they will be, it's Manchester United. We have held our own, defended pretty well and created a bit going forward. McCleary a bit wasteful on the two openings he has had.

[genome]

Pleased with that first half.

Mariappa and Federici been great so far.

[SPARTA]

[One Beer is never enough.]

Well, not too unhappy with that as a first half - especially as we played a good 8-10 minutes with only 10 men on the pitch. They scare the shit out of me when they go forward, but the boys are holding their own, and feds has been solid. Think by 60mins if they aren't ahead, Fergie will bring on the big guns and put any hopes we have out though.....

[semtex1871]

Anybody read Kilbane's BBC comments? What a one eyed nob.

where are you reading this???

[One Beer is never enough.]

That was great, think that was definitely a "I know what your doing, but don't be a oxf*rd" moment....

[Ian Royal]

Well. We've largely bossed midfield, but their attack is truly terrifying and they can create great chances without having to be on top. Our defence has been top notch as has Fed and the midfield. McCleary's been largely ineffective, but far from poor. McAnuff gave Jones a torrid time. But bar a cracking long shot from ALF but relatively comfortable save from De Gea, we've not really threatened their goal, unless you count corners that if they hadn't got the head to, we'd have scored from.

More of the same please. We look good, but you'd still expect Utd's quality to take it's toll.

[akranes]

We've looked good. United have been poor imo. McCleary not doing too well though.

[Avon Royal]

United will fly at us at the start of the 2nd half. Need to keep it tight.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

We're not conceeding the midfield like I thought we would. Fair play.

Need a goal from a set piece. McCleary really not offering much while Jobi is having a good game
