Setting off in half hour. Way to early but I'll myself a free parking space at the cricket ground and find a watering hold to watch the Arsenal game.

I didn`t know the Arsenal game was on telly

It's not.

Reports are coming through that Van Der Sar sneaked off for a cheeky oxf*rd at around 35 minutes!

Happy so far - much as expected. Would like to see us being a little calmer when we get possession and try and stop it coming straight back at us...easier said than done though I know!

[PieEater]

The half time game stats are something like 25%, 45% 30% for where the game is played, with 45% being the centre of the pitch. So I think we're doing OK so far. It does look just a matter of time until Utd nick something though, our best chance is if the crowd get on their back in the second half.

Kitson off!

[hiro]

One man down against United, unbeliebable result.
Stomach ache for last 20 minutes. What a team sprit!

[exileinleeds]

USA has to be MoM

[URZZZZZZZZ]

That look on Kitson's face as he walked off genuinely scared me A man possessed one might say.

Fantastic result though, Reading to ruin the title race by beating Chelsea Wednesday

[PremAddict]

HEART ATTACK!!

I've never seen Marcus that spot on!

Back 4 solid - or should I say back 10?

Kitson?????????

[Rev Algenon Stickleback H]

Kitson?????????

he does have a habit of doing tackles like that. He really needs to learn he can't do that sort of thing outside the 4th division.

How many games will he be banned for?

After being injured for the opening day last year, and sent off on the opening day this year, maybe we ought to drop him for the first game next season!

[cmonurz]

3 games.

[papereyes]

3 games.

Is it a straight three? Isn't there a small chance its one or two?

[spickroyal]

It will be 3 but I really didn't think it was a red. It is a bad tackle, no disputing that but it was mistimed and we see at least one of those every single weekend in every single game.

GuLOLlit was funny - "double red card, he is trying to hurt him - I hope he gets a 6 game ban".

Sky went to their first break after the game showing Seol booked and Kitson sent off. After the break, Harper had appeared to have picked up a booking. Anyone know what Harper got booked for?

wearing blue and white hoops and tackling an united player?

BBC are showing the other booking as Oster not Harper - which I assume would be for protesting the last minute free kick.

It's probably a black thing though if it is Harper.

Would make more sense considering the verbal abuse Oster gave Styles

I believe I lip read something along the lines of "You're a fukkin cock"...harsh but fair. I want that on a t-shirt!

that was class what Oster did, summed up my feelings exactly.

That was my immediate fear when he subbed on for Doyle --I figured at the very least a bonzai tackle from him and a booking were inevitable and was hoping it'd be Bikey on for Doyle in the first place, so long as it was 90 minutes in the bunker anyway.
