Reading vs Chelsea POST-MATCH DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Barclays Premier League 30th January, Wednesday 2013 Madejski Stadium 20:00 Kick Off (UK time)

The FA Cup 5th round draw will take place later today at 5.45pm UK time.

Apologies for that. Typed Mata in the starting XI by mistake. Should have been Oscar.

It worked for Anelka because he can play in that position. The others can't but the managers want to play them and not adaptable enough with their tactics that they decide to just stick at whichever position possible.

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out. Might want to re-vote again since others have voted previously. Sorry.

Oh great. Another fixture added to the list. Just what we needed. The replay will be played on the weekend of the FA Cup 5th Round matches on either 16th or 17th February. EDIT: Replay should be on the 17th since we play Sparta Prague away in EL on the 14th.

In terms of last season, don't think many can criticize how RDM utilized the squad and the way he went about setting us up to play. It helped us to achieve what we achieved. This season though, despite implementing a more attacking style, RDM did receive his fair share of criticisms in here. Team's poor defensive organization, playing attacking style but seem to lack a genuine plan/approach, late substitutions, lack of rotations etc are among some of it.

So? Don't think many of us care about what the media thought about we play. They never like us to begin with anyway.

Have read so much of that nonsense since winning the Champions League. Really could not care less about how and what people think of how we play to win the Champions League. People are deluded to brand us a defensive team and one who parks the bus in just 2-3 matches. Ask all these people how many of them would want to be our position. Many of them would want to deep down inside their heart. Also, how come no one mention the matches where we put 4 past Napoli, 5 past Spurs at Wembley?! Who on earth in their right mind will try to play an open game and attack against Barcelona and even Bayern Munich especially in their own back yard?! We did what was within our means to achieve the results and we did that. Week in week out, look what happened to teams who tried to take the game to Barcelona. They ended up getting hammered. Real Madrid losing 5-0 to them was probably a prime example. And look at what happened under AVB against Arsenal. Tried to play an attacking style football with a high defensive line and we got hammered 5-3 at home! Furthermore, we have played better football in previous years in the Champions League and still come unstuck in the competition. If it means playing this so called defensive football to win the Champions League, then so be it.

There's nothing on the punishment yet. We have until Tuesday 6pm UK time to respond to it. Nothing has been decided yet.

Benitez thinks he has done enough to earn a long term contract. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1315086/rafael-benitez-wants-extended-chelsea-stay?cc=4716

That's our computers should be. Empower us with knowledge by speaking and not asking us to read!

In 'Nowhere', with Courage, Muriel and Eustace...

Feeling sooooo bored right now. *sigh*

And we drew 0-0 against them. Even Liverpool smashed them 4-0 the other day. RAFA OUT!

Yes but the point you originally made was Arsenal did not rest their main players, which Wenger did and only brought them later on to overcome Brighton...
