This is why we deserve to still be in the Premiership, Unlike Derby or any other team in the bottom half last season, we were able to scare big teams and the fact we got relegated was just pure bad luck.
But hey, Im sure we will be back next year.
Lee - Reading Fan since he knew what football was
Imagine if this was today: A championship team knock out one of the best teams in the FA Cup
God I miss sonko, what a beast
its a pitty what happened to reading , they wer a great team , wish them well.
reading never deserved to get relegated they will get premoted this year and back to the prem were they should be.. wigan fan in peace
That Harper goal is just about one of my favourites as a Reading fan, you could feel the crowd willing him on, I wonder what it must have felt like for Harper.
I was there!
It was amazing, one of the best games at the Mad Stad.
steve coppelll is by far the best reading manager ever
super Reading FC!!!! i was there, East stand..best result ever
Doyle kitson Harper sidwell little I still remember them my favourite reading best eleven
is this possible the best result at the mad stad because at 1-1 a thought liverpool would take it up a gear and dominate the game from there on
Torres doing what he loves...Diving. :)
This lineups only andre marriner can survive
what u mean those were the days wot kind o fan are u this was the 2nd season in da top flight in 136 years a very short part of a glorious history
I still reminisce over James Harper’s goal 😊
Doyle and Kitson. Best partnership we ever had.
No the joke was we are signing these rubbish players and they will never be as good as doyle and kitson but he said it as an ironic joke but it wasn't as ironic as it could have been because we didn't actually sign oliveria
We don't need strikers we Stam in charge. The ball hardly ever gets over the half-way line. :(
I find it remarkable that people say the first penalty was controversial because it was right on the edge of the area. That's like saying a goal where the ball only crosses the line by an inch is controversial. Liverpool had had a great season up to that point, but Benitez got in woefully wrong in that game, playing two holding midfielders against a team that attacked by playing the ball wide. Then he weirdly seemed to give up, but taking Gerrard off. On the downside, after the game I found I'd been given a parking ticket. And, sadly, it's going to be a very long time until those kinds of days return. Once one of the best run clubs in the country, with a fantastic scouting network and recruitment policy. Now, on our third set of clueless owners, signing a string of useless, unmotivated and horrifically overpaid mercenaries on premier league wages.
Liverpool weren't that good that year tbh 07/08 they were off the pace of the title conversation between United, Chelsea and Arsenal and they were humbled in the FA Cup by Barnsley as well. As for Reading they blew survival completely because there were 2 periods in the season 1 shortly after this match when they chalked up 8 defeats in a row and then another period after they beat Birmingham in March they failed to win another game until the final day of the season and it cost them. The key moments in that run was losing to Fulham at home and then failing to beat Wigan another relegation rival away and then losing to mid table Tottenham at home which combined with Fulham's comeback against City and then winning the big one against Birmingham dropped them into the red zone and the win against Derby was too little too late.
@@classicsportclassictiyl8547 I think Liverpool were unbeaten at the time. Reading blew it losing Sidwell on a free to Chelsea, then having Glen Little out for the whole season, and Bobby Convey out for much of it as well. Basically they lost 3/4 of the first choice midfield, and failed to buy well to add depth. They really shouldn't have gone down, and really should have bounced back the following year, but didn't.
@@RevStickleback They were unbeaten Liverpool but they were never really in the title fight as for Reading they couldn't score either which didn't help. The following year there were there until the turn of the year they only won 6 in 20 and that's why they got beat to auto promotion by Birmingham and then Burnley it just went badly wrong and Coppell went as a result.
100% penalty. The challenge may have started outside the area, but the contact which caused the trip was inside.
Carragher has made an entire career of fouling opponants and getting away with it.
The last few years he been found out and looks very average.
Reading should have been allowed to stay in the Premier League just for this!
I love Reading
Okay, Just dont start an argument cause we are discussing football...
Sonko now a Hull player too...
@AlphaDraconis7 agreed, people believed he was good when he brought his team back out after half time 3-0 down agianst AC milan and they went on to win, but we all know it was Gerrard that got the team going, not Rafa
liverpool's first pen shout was definitely not a penalty, the defender got the ball.
however, the second he did not get the ball but torres dived after he knew he knocked the ball too far so he couldnt reach it.
Jack Hobbs made an appearance for Lincoln City. You know he's good..
respect - Man UTD
Other teams have scared big teams as well.
Nobody has the right to be in the Premier League (not called Premiership anymore). Reading were shit last season and deserved to go down, simple as.
@thelocker99 he did get the ball on the 2nd one. There wasn't a huge touch but he noticeably moved the ball on
A. That's not funny, Cech almost died.
B. They've met several times since.
i swear reading have never actually lost to liverpool only 100% win rate
Reading should have stayed up just for this result.
Another result like this tomorrow please.
Lets do this again this year
Good for couch paunovic
hope hunt comes back to the prem
Reading FC: where are they now?
Howard isn't a striker...
Reading fc the best
Junction 11 off the M4, pr*ck.
that was probably the best reading match i ever saw. its a shame theyre going to leuge 1 now.. wow madejski really ruined it
Liverpool should have had 2 penalties - I am a United fan but fair is fair.
Necer knew played for l'pool
@skeefunit Torres is such a diver
You are all blinkered Reading fans - I hope you stay up. I agree that Torres is a diver but I still maintain that objectively there were two penalties that should have been given to Liverpool in this game- and I hate them.
We were so much better then !!! INFACT the league was better then.
This year the Prem is shyte and reading are mid table championship side that may even survive the prem... Man U have the worst team for years and are walking it.... hope next year there is improvement!
Should've been one all because 1 not a penalty and 2 not a freekick...some refs.
It's black and amber not gold and black!
they played ther 3 best players and still lost lol
oh how i wish we had that side now!!!
Get-in Reading! I Mcanuff had scored tonight, after that awesome run. Should have been 3-1 again... maybe more ;)
How the fuck was that a pen for Reading? :O
Yeah, A Great Loyal Player.
looked like a penalty to me
UUUURRRRRZZZZZ!!!
wat lad rip LFC but not scousers!!
I mean today
get over it , chip on shoulder scousers , as ever !
we hav a habit of beatin pool:)
Those Were The Days.
Reading are cheats
Those Were The Days.
i miss all the old reading players e.g. Dave Kitson, Kevin Doyle, Leroy Lita, Steve Sidwell, Imbrahima Sonko, Nicky Shorey, Grame Murty, Stephen Hunt, Shane Long, Ivar Ingimarsson, Seol Ki Heyon, James Harper, Chris Armstrong, John Oster, Liam Rosenior, Marcus Hanahman ect. They were all the best Reading players.
Me too
