carry few good hope last talent weeks
He was sensational and we all know what a talent he is. For the last few weeks he has started to play well again, which is very, very good for us and let's hope he can carry on doing that.
carry cunningham drink few good kenny playing position similar smoke training
Kenny Cunningham is in a similar position to Roy. He's good enough to carry on playing a few seasons. He doesn't drink or smoke and he's the first in to training every morning.
against beating best certainly chelsea fantastic few forward last love minutes moment outfit played setting standards team uphill year
We played well there last year and we were only a few minutes away from beating them. But they are a fantastic outfit and team and are setting the standards for everyone, so it's an uphill job, but one you look forward to. You love to play against the best and at the moment Chelsea certainly is that.
atrocious ball bit delighted few horrible night played reaction reading takes terrific time
I'm delighted for the young lads. It was a horrible night and the ball was swerving all over the place in atrocious conditions. It takes a little bit of time to settle. A few of them haven't played at this level. I thought the reaction was terrific after Reading equalized.
days few hopefully knee past sent
Emile's knee has been aggravating him the past few days so we've sent him for a check. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
bid opening
The opening bid is laughable. It is so derisory.
reading side wrong
Too often we are reading about him on the wrong side of the newspaper-he should be on the back pages, not the front.
absolute games guys lose media territory word
You guys in the media use this word 'pressure'. You lose two games and you are under pressure. It's absolute nonsense. Laughable. But that's the territory we're in.
hoped impeccable record taken upset
We are upset Emile has got another ban. He has an impeccable record and we hoped it would have been taken into account.
battered courage
We've been battered all week, and at least (the players) have responded. We showed courage to take them on.
cannot elementary gave half level mistakes penalty second until
We were in it up until the second half when we gave the penalty away. At this level you cannot make elementary mistakes like that.
cannot life support
We have done everything we can to support him. But we cannot live his life for him.
chance
We've had two opportunities and to give yourself any chance here you have to take one of them and unfortunately for us we didn't.
against chelsea cracking good home needed result
We've had a good week. We've had a cracking result against Chelsea and Bolton at home and we needed to come away from home and get something.
