Waiting for a bus back from the match in the dreary rain so I’ll pass the time with my thoughts…   Far, far better than Palace but still some work to do. I thought it was anyone’s game up until about 80 mins until we had a rough 3 or so minutes and subsequently went 3-2 down. Defence is still a worry for me. That third goal from Liverpool was entirely preventable if I (think) Joelinton hasn’t essentially left the ball for a Liverpool player after advantage was given to us. Could have been game over at that point on another day.   Right wing also a worry. Murphy often a liability.   Agree about the whistle, infuriating because the opportunist in me says we’d have put that in the back of the net if we were allowed to take it all the way. The crowd made their thoughts known about that and rightly so.    My issue is we’ve been here after Arsenal and Man City. Put up a fight against the teams you don’t expect to beat and then drop points to teams you should be beating. Let’s see if this builds some momentum and we can get a result against a revitalised Leicester.

I've thought Reading was about to be a post-rock festival for a while tbf where guitar acts become less frequent. Thought we might have been a few years from that but apparently not.

Is no one else excited of the very real possibility of a full screen new main stage?   I’m the only one? Alright then!

Do you guys realise we have headliners for only two days, matbe one Party arena headliner and a couple sub and one or two Revolut names so far??   I agree it’s not a particularly strong announcement, but it is a VERY small announcement compared to the full line up.

same here, I hope they'll book snow patrol (in romania during sziget), the kooks (in slovakia during sziget) and some other live bands 🤞
