Reading 1 Aston Villa 2

Reading 1 Aston Villa 2

A world apart form the abject performance at Fulham - we really deserved this win.

In fact it was a decent all round game. Ashley Young's goal right on half time was so important as it was looking as if we we're going in level having squandered numerous chances including Birthday Boy's horrendous penalty miss. Everyone was playing their part including Martin Laursen with another class display at the back.



Big Marlon again came on and made an impact yet again with his strength and aggression. His goal was an absolute beauty - very similar to Thierry Henry's against Celtic except you'll see Henry's goal another 100 times on Sky whilst Harewood's will be forgotten by Monday.

Two footnotes to this game:

James Harper. You're a nobody. When you come up against a somebody - show some f*cking respect. A Jab in someone's back followed by mouthing off as you walk away repesents being a complete coward.

Stephen Hunt. You're a cheat. I hope one day you'll look back at the TV of this game and realise what an idiot you made of yourself. Blatant cheat - nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, I don't care - we're still in there. Passport renewal forms at the ready!
