During last year, many thought Wigan as a performance-based team as the team fought so hard against Chelsea in their first game but eventually lost out to a Crespo's strike...
But this season is totally a disaster for them and Jewell has been marked as a over-rated manager. Maybe because some of their good players left but this season is just too much for them, I guess.... Wigan's case taught us non-Reading supporters that don't expect too much until it is really a sure thing about a club. Things of course are honeymoon for Reading supporters now. GREAT JOB READING THIS SEASON!!  |

QUOTE(maxizanc @ Apr 30 2007, 06:00 PM) I admire Reading so much.. This season they doing a good job.. With the players they have still can reach the top 10 of the table.. I remember they thumb West Ham 5-0.. hahaha.. Who would've thought they'll compete in UEFA Cup next season.. Steve Coppell is one of my favourite manager in England.. Good luck.. Steve Coppell is actually another ex-player who have played under Sir Alex. They'll need a 2nd season to prove that they are really capable to play side-by-side with sides like Tottenham, Bolton, Aston Villa and manbe in the future, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd or Chelsea...   |

Reading Still Not Thinking Of Europe
QUOTE Man of the match Nicky Shorey welcomed back Newcastle striker Michael Owen after his Reading team ruined the England striker's comeback at the Madejski Stadium. Dave Kitson's goal was enough to see off Glenn Roeder's men, and strengthen the Royals' own bid for European football, as Owen looked sharp but finished goalless. 'It's good to see him back and hopefully he won't get any more injuries,' Shorey said of Owen on Sky Sports 1. On the match, he added: 'The whole game was a bit frantic. We needed to slow it down after we scored but they are a good team. 'We'll take it but we just want to finish as high as we can.' Kitson was also reserved about Reading's UEFA Cup hopes. 'It was a fantastic win and it pushes us that little bit closer,' he said. Reading manager Steve Coppell denied he would rather see his side fail to qualify for Europe as his men sneaked into the UEFA Cup places. 'We will accept whatever happens and my job is just to get as many points as we can. If that means Europe, we will take it,' he told Sky Sports 1. 'It's just an after thought. We just think about preparation for the next game. 'Whatever happens it is a dream for the club on their first season in the Premiership.' Coppell also praised the visitors for making the match tough. 'They are a difficult team and their shape was difficult to get hold of,' he added. 'The second half we attacked the game better. But it was close.' Source: Soccernet First of all, good job for giving Owen a very 'welcoming' comeback... UEFA Cup UEFA Cup, Reading players are unsure about it but I think they are capable since their form has been great this season... |

QUOTE(razlan @ May 2 2007, 11:45 AM) that's totally the opposite of what coppell said at the official site and i quote "Yes, we're going for Europe...honest!" Coppell is upbeat about going into Europe to motivate his players work towards it. The headlines is quoted from Reading players. They dn't want to dream big now yet... is coppell playing mind games?  |
