I thought I'd feel sorry for Reading (and Birmingham) but frankly Reading have been woeful at times and unfortunately have been undone by second season syndrome (as my own team, Bradford, were seven years ago. We were shit quite frankly and deserved to go down!)
Not wishing to anger the Evertonians here, but if you rarely get into the opposition's penalty area, you won't win many penalties. That, and the fact that all the referee's have latched onto Andy Johnson's constant falling over routine, probably haven't done you any favours on the penalty front.
To be honest, I've never understood the 'We didn't get any penalties' routine that a lot of teams have complained about over the years. Surely it's about being good enough to score goals, not 'how many times we got in the opposition's penalty area before f**king it up'. No?
To summarise my views: Arsenal were the best to watch but didn't have the desire that ManYoo did. ManYoo were ruthless in attack and a joy to watch. Credit to Chelsea for just relentlessly bulldozering teams in a win-win-win-win mentality but, at the end of the day, a bit too dull. Liverpool fourth as usual, nothing to add.
