okay this is getting silly, can we stop criticising each others reports on the forum. Take it to mIRC. Commenting on the reports on here make this clan look silly and unprofessional.

Your only saying this because we have banter with everyone joking about our reports but when it comes to yours well we actually mean it

[retired_abubaker]

Lighten up Tony ffs!!

It's only a bit of banter and a laugh although I will be having a word with you about your reports Tony tomorrow night.

[retired_bigmamma]

before you even start tomorrow night Andy I can't change the way I doreports. For the 100th time I don't have time to write an essay which you are trying to force me to do. I only have time todo the reports in my format and participate in the Clan evening. I am not changing my social life outside the clan just because you all want a detailed report.

I'm sorry if I sound a bit serious here but I am getting tired of hearing comments that I should write it like how you write yours. I don't see what the problem is with what I do I write at least a paragraph at the bottom of each clan report stating how I felt I did and I even comment on a few matches sometimes in that paragragh. If its that stats you don't like I'll just scrap them and just put the scores and thats it. I just don't know why you all have decided to gang up on me and make remarks on my reports when I have never in my entire time in this clan commented or criticised any of your reports.

Also I realise its all bantor what you do on here and my last message was me just joining in and throwing my hat in the ring.

Reading Report



Session Dates: 4th & 6th April 2006

Results




Reading Scorer: Dave Kitson (52)
Attendance: 23,760
MOM: Nicky Shorey (Reading)
In a close run match watched by under 24,000 people Nicky Shorey scored the only goal in the 52nd minute. Derby had a rock solid defence in the 1st half but Vincent Pericard and Nicky Shorey teamed up and took the defence on with a one two one combination to allow Nickey Shorey to squeeze the ball into the net at a tight angle.


Plymouth Scorers: Hasney Aljofree (8) & Jon Hoyles (76)
Reading Scorers: James Harper (9), Kevin Doyle (38) & Dave Kitson (73)
Attendance: 15,491
MOM: Ibrahima Sonko (Reading)
Another close match, Plymouth scored the first goal with Hasney Aljofree in the 8th minute but were immediately pegged back by a 9th minute strike from unlikely scorer James Harper who rifled a shot from 18 yards out. Reading went 2-1 up in the 38th minute with a Kevin Doyle goal and then went 3-1 up in the 73rd minute with a goal from Dave Kitson, who was playing his first match after returning from injury. Plymouth scored another goal via a Jon Hoyles strike in the 76th minute but it was all too late.




Middlesbrough Scorer: Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (67)
Attendance: 18,008
MOM: Mark Schwarzer (Middlesbrough)
Bit disappointed in being kicked out of the league cup but still we did play well and kept the scoreline at 1-0. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s 67th minute goal was unstoppable.




Attendance: 24,083
MOM: Tony Craig (Millwall)
Disappointing 0-0 draw in which we should have won had it not been for their goalkeeper was was on top form.


Wolves Scorer: Jeremie Aliadiere (9)
Attendance: 24,067
MOM: Paul Wotton (Wolves)
Not at all a good game with the only goal coming from Wolves Loan player Jeremie Aliadiere in the 9th minute. Even though my side kept the scoreline down at 1-0 it was still a poor performance as Wolves controlled the whole match.


Crystal Palace Scorers: Marcus Berg (45) & Andy Johnson (88)
Reading Scorer: Leroy Lita (25)
Attendance: 24,995
MOM: Andy Johnson (Crystal Palace)
Afraid I was unable to end Crystal Palace’s unbeaten run although I thought we would do it after we scored the opening goal in the 25th minute with Leroy Lita scoring. However it was not to be because with the amount of good players in Rouchies side it didn’t take long for them to equalise but it did take them until the 88th minute to score the winner which was a bitter pill to swallow, I would have been satisfied with a 1-1 draw.


Reading Scorers: Kevin Doyle (6) & Vincent Pericard (64)
Attendance: 24,090
MOM: Stephen Hunt (Reading)
A much better game this time around although were were playing Brighten who are considered the poor side of the Championship. Goals from Kevin Doyle and Vincent Pericard in the 6th & 64th minutes respectfively were enough to beat Brighton.


Crewe Scorer: Eddie Johnson (76)
Reading Scorers: Vincent Pericard (69 & 90) & Dave Kitson (85)
Attendance: 7,739
MOM: Steve Sidwell (Reading)
Another good result and another two goals from Vincent Pericard whom the other clan members found a strange signing at the start of the season. Dave Kitson scored the third goal with Crewe’s Eddie Johnson scoring their only goal.


Stoke Scorers: Luke Chadwick (45) & Josip Skoko (60)
Reading Scorers: Dave Kitson (28), Nicky Shorey (Pen 45) & Glen Little (75)
Attendance: 14,019
MOM: Glen Little (Reading)
Another close match but my tactics worked in the second half with bringing Glen Little on and he put the icing on the cake to score the winner. Although I am a bit disappointed with my defence conceding two silly goals.


Reading Scorers: Dave Kitson (41) & Vincent Pericard (90)
Ipswich Scorer: Dean Bowditch (47)
Attendance: 24,089
MOM: Dave Kitson (Reading)
What can I say but revenge is sweet, months ago Ipswich never gave me a chance and sacked me and today I taught them a lesson to never sack me because that decision will come back to haunt them. A goals from Dave Kitson and another goal for Vincent Pericard settled the game for Reading who dominated the whole match.


Reading Scorers: Steve Sidwell (15), James Harper (25) & Dave Kitson (55)
Attendance: 18.061
MOM: Ibrahima Sonko (Reading)
Watford were simply outclassed in this match, the midfield tore apart the defence of Watford allowing my strikers to take pot shots at the goal. The goals were provided by Steve Sidwell, James Harper & Dave Kitson.


Leicester Scorers: Fredric Lundqvist (Pen 17), Iain Hume (75) & Elvis Hammond (81)
Reading Scorer: Vincent Pericard (30)
Attendance: 32,418
MOM: Fredric Lundqvist (Leicester)
Although Vincent Pericard scored yet another goal it wasn’t enough to save my side from a 3-1 defeat. My side was probably still suffering a hangover from the 3-0 drubbing of Watford in the previous game.


Reading Scorers: Vincent Pericard (27), Kevin Doyle (46), Nicky Shorey (Pen 61) & Scott Golbourne (75)
Attendance: 23,908
MOM: Vincent Pericard (Reading)
Have to feel sorry for Steff in this match, his side was just simply outclassed by my Reading Side. Vincent Pericard scored again, Kevin Doyle scored the second and Nickey Shorey scored from the penalty spot. Even Scott Golbourne who was playing in the under 18’s a month or so ago scored and it was his first goal for the senior side. Golbourne might be a good player for the future.

Championship Position at end of sessions: 3rd

Saints still stumbling along!!!

We are now into the second month of the season and Hepburn's Saints are still struggling to get a consistent run of form together to try and push up the table. It has been a frustrating time of Hepburn and his players as the performances have been good but they are just not getting the luck of the green just now. Here is a run down of the latest games in the Saints season..........


Championship

Southampton v Stoke - (H) Mon 29th August 2005

A game the Saints dominated and scored a couple of good goals to show their superiority over a poor Stoke side who could not handle the pace and power of the Saints strikers. Steven Naismith was the star as he bagged a double in the first half but it could have been a lot more but for some poor finishing and good goalkeeping.

Final Score - Southampton 2 v 0 Stoke
Goals - Southampton - Naismith (3,38)
Att - 17395
MOTM - Steven Naismith (Southampton)


Championship

Southampton v Watford - (H) Sat 10th September 2005

Hepburn was left seething after this game as he saw two of his players sent off and could face further trouble for comments made about the referee after the match. It was the Saints first home loss of the season but the chances the Saints missed also left Hepburn in a foul mood. An early Marlon King goal for Watford proved to be the winner but Watford were lucky to escape with the win. The Saints battled away with nine men but could not find that all important equaliser.

Final Score - Southampton 0 v 1 Watford
Goals - Watford - King (6)
Sent Off - Stephen Murray, Darren Kenton (Southampton)
Att - 18535
MOTM - Malky MacKay


Championship

Leicester v Southampton - (A) Tues 13th September 2005

This was possibly the worst performance of Hepburn's reign as Southampton manager as his team showed nothing for the whole ninety minutes. No one performaed well and yet another Southampton player was sent off to add to Hepburn's misery. The defending was schoolboy at times and they showed nothing in attack. "It was just dire", Hepburn commented to the press after the match and it certainly was. That's two defeats in row now for Southampton as they fall further down the table.

Final Score - Leicester 2 v 0 Southampton
Goals - Leicester - Fryatt (37), Gudjonsson (65)
Sent Off - Claus Lundekvam (Southampton)
Att - 29644
MOTM - Patrick Kisnorbo (Leicester)


Championship

Ipswich v Southampton - (A) Sat 17th Spetember 2005

A game Hepburn will feel the Saints should have won. They had the better chances throughout and were dominant but again they could not put the ball in the back of the net and it cost them three points in the end.

Final Score - Ipswich 1 v 0 Southampton
Goals - Ipswich - Forester (75)
Att - 26713
MOTM - Michael Svensson


Carling Cup 2nd Round

Oldham v Southampton - (A) Wed 21st September 2005

Hepburn's side were struggling for goals before this game but whatever Hepburn said to his strikers it worked as they hit Oldham for five. The star of the show was young striker Kenwyne Jones who was just sensational as he grabbed a hat trick. Hepburn knows this boy has bags of potential and lets hope he keeps up this scoring form fot the remainder of the season. Oldham were truly awful but that was down to the hard work and determination of the Saints who worked their socks off to make up for their recent run of defeats. Gregor Rasiak also got on the scoresheet for the first time this season and Danny Higginbotham scored from the penalty spot. A terrific performance from the Saints and something to build on.

Final Score - Oldham 0 v 5 Southampton
Goals - Southampton - Jones (14,76,82), Rasiak (24), Higginbotham (pen,38)
Att - 6254
MOTM - Kenwyne Jones (Southampton)


Championship

Southampton v Sheffield Utd - (H) Sat 24th Spetember 2005

After the win at Oldam in the cup confidence was high at St Marys in preparation for the tough game against Steff Browning's Sheffield Utd minus their manager who has important business to attend to or computer aids. It was a great game for the Saints as they dominated the game and really should have scored a few more goals to reflect just how dominant they were. Jones got on the scoresheet again and youngster Dyer came on and scored his first goal for Southampton in the second half. Utd pulled a goal back in injury time but it was not enough to stop the Saints taking all three points.

Final Score - Southampton 2 v 1 Sheffield Utd
Goals - Southampton - Jones (35), Dyer (58)
Goals - Sheffield Utd - Wright (pen,90)
Att - 21977
MOTM - Stephen Murray (Southampton)


Championship

Cardiff v Southampton - (A) Tues 27th September 2005

The Saints were back on their travels again after the superb win over Sheffield Utd. It was up to Cardiff to take on Rob Perry's men. It was another great performance from the Saints with Darren Potter, on loan from Liverpool catching the eye of many as he made his debut for the Saints after recovering from injury. He grabbed a double as Cardiff could not cope with his movement off the ball. Young Kenwyne Jones scored another goal to continue his fine run of goalscoring to round off a great Saints performance. Cardiff did manage to pull a goal back through Hrgovic but it was no where near enough to prevent the Saints winning again.

Final Score - Cardiff 1 v 3 Southampton
Goals - Cardiff - Hrgovic (84)
Goals - Southampton - Potter (44,48), Jones (50)
Att - 10450
MOTM - Kenwyne Jones (Southampton)


It has been an indifferent month for the Saints started the month badly with three lossess but ended it on a high with three wins in a row. Lets hope this run of form continues and they push up the table and challenge the leaders.

Sheff United manager feels like using blades to slit wrists


Things are going from bad to worse at Bramall Lane as Sheffield United look destined for the relegation dogfight instead of battling for the playoffs



Saturday 26 November 2005: Wolves v Sheff Utd : Coca-Cola Championship : 2-0 loss

We found ourselves up against 2nd places Wolves here and not a even a call from third placed Reading manager, Tony Hall could inspire my lads, Hall must have surely been hoping that we could knock off Wolves and do his Reading side a favour as they looked to close the gap for the automatic promotion place.
The match itself was a throughly one-sided affair and sadly that one side was Wolves
They finally made the breakthrough in the 42nd minute through Denese Rosa, and ten minutes later in the 52nd minute they all but wrapped up the points through Rohan Rickets.


Saturday 3rd December 2005: Sheff Utd v Plymouth : Coca-Cola Championship : 3-0 win \o/

Finally back to winning ways!
Steven Kabba opened the scoring in the 20th minute, Sheffield United got a fortunate break 11 minutes after the opener as Jon Hoyles was sent off for Plymouth in the 31st minute, this allowed Steven Kabba to find space in behind the defence to clamly slot home the second goal in the 35th minute. On the stroke of half time Plymouth's game plan and discipline simply collapsed as Paul Connolly was sent off for a shocking tackle on Kabba. Four minutes after the restart the game was over as a contest as Kabba completed his hat trick. The only downside to this match was the injury to Alan Quinn that will see him out of action for two months.


Saturday 10th December 2005: Millwall v Sheff Utd : Coca-Cola championship : 5-1 <STRIKE>raping</STRIKE> loss

Well after the performance against Plymouth, most would have expected us to give Millwall a good here right?
NO!
Things started badly as Berry Powel opened the scoring for Millwall in the 14th minute, things seemed to pick up in the 17th minute as Ade Akinbiyi pulled the blades level. Sadly this was all we offered up in the way of offence as Millwall went on to crush us like the little bitches we are Barry Hayles put Millwall back in from in the 43rd minute and Berry Powel grabbed his second of the game right on the stroke of half time. Into the second half and in the 62nd minute Barry Hayles grabbed his second of the game and Lloyd Dyer completed the rout in the 64th minute.

This lot are rubbish


Tuesday 13th December 2005: Sheff Utd v Crystal Palace : Coca-Cola Championship : 1-1 draw

Zis iz Eric Cantona taking over zis match report.
Ze gaffer had a heart attack just before kick off and was rushed to l'hopital just before ze start of ze game, I think it was ze thought of facing le future champions Crystal Palace that did it to him
But now it iz my chance to shine in ze dugout, and if the Crystal Palace fans don't learn how to keep their mouths shut or i'll give zem ze kung fu kick.
Against all odds Steven Kabba opened ze scoring in le 6th minuite and a battling performance saw us hold on until the 62nd minute when ze Palace managed to pull level through Jon Macken. Both teams had chances to win ze game but in ze end a draw was a fair reflection.

Je adore le football management! but for now I must go I have some more nike commericals to make.
Vive Le France!


Saturday 17 December 2005 : Sheff Utd : v Brighton : Coca-Cola Championship: 2-0 win

Another win \o/
We dominated this match from start to finish and it was little surprise when Steven Kabba opened the scoring in the 18th minute and the only shock was that it took until the 71st minute for the Blades to score again through Krisztian Kenesei.
3 points \o/ oh how precious


Monday 26th December 2005 : Reading v Sheff Utd : Coca-Cola Championship : 4-0 defeat

Another crushing defeat here
The player that Norwich manager Sandy Pettigrew had been shouting about, Vincent Pericard opened the scoring in the 27th minute, I guess Reading Manager Tony Hall knows a bit more about a decent player than Pettigrew, this is probably why Hall's Reading side are in 3rd place and Pettigrew's Norwich are lying in 8th place. Sheff Utd managed to keep the game alive as a contest (god knows how) until half time. Kevin Doyle opened the second half action as he gave Reading a two goal cushion a minute after the restart, a Nicky Shorey penalty made it three in the 61st minute. The pain was completed via Scott Goldbourne in the 75th minute
P!sh.


Lurching from one crisis to another here, dropping more points that we are picking up and losing goals left right and centre, its now not a chase of can we make the playoffs but more a question of can we avoid the drop?
