I, personally, am generally against 0-0 draws. While I understand that one can watch a thrilling 0-0 draw (England’s 0-0 draw with Italy comes to mind), I find that such games are generally the exception, not the rule.

Sorry for the delay between posts people, sometimes work comes at you all at once. This weekend was actually rather interesting on both the top and the bottom of the table, for change of pace as usually matchups between the top four are experiments in ennui tolerance.

It’s a Saturday, late in the season. Reading are playing Tottenham. The game’s been back and forth, end-to-end stuff, with Paul Robinson and Marcus Hahnemann tested multiple times. As the game ticks past the 80 minute mark, a loose ball falls to the feet of Stephen Hunt, who confidently strides past Tom [...]
Well Thank God For James Harper

Big win. Big, big, big win. No, it doesn’t move Reading out of the bottom three, but it stops the rot, and gives us that most necessary of things, hope. We’re not doomed, we’re in a dogfight with five other teams.
Was Reading lucky? Yes, pretty much. Boro were [...]
