The reason for Reading's capitulation against us at Cardiff in the play off final has been explained. Their Manager doesn't seem to have been watching Pardew said in the Press today: "I've got some history with Walsall because they beat us in the play-offs when I was at Reading. It was the luckiest win of all-time and the winning goal came off the back of my winger's head. It's not that I'm bitter and twisted but it still hurts".

Alan, I hate to tell you, but that was the equaliser, not the winner!

I also seem to remember that we have only lost once to them since the Cardiff game and that he is now the manager of a completely different club. What his problem is, I really do fail to understand. His priority should be getting West Ham back into the top flight, not worrying about an imagined slight three years ago.

What a complete idiot that man is!
