As for Jonas, by the way, soft is the wrong word. He doesn't shirk away from the physical side of things, and just gets up gets on with things.

What he does do though, is throw himself to ground a lot. This is sometimes when he's overrun the ball, as a lot of players do. Other times, he plays for a foul, and he can be quite clever about it.

Half the time though, you wish he wouldn't do it, as it would be better if he just stayed on his feet.

If anything we were stronger in the second half then the first ha. We just didn't test Harper enough. Had an awful lot of possession, but the 4-5-1 you played really didn't help us as everytime we had an effort it was blocked.

We haven't been good away from home all season. But what we have done is been resilient, and ground out the results. By the sounds of things then, tonight was a typical Newcastle away performance.

Aye, he's been an inspired purchase (something you can say about most of Hughton's signings); Pompey's loss is most certainly our gain. There's probably not even any guarantee of Taylor getting back into the side, assuming he stays in the summer.

Wycombe fans have said he's better than Johnson, who's done a more than decent job in the EPL with Birmingham. And the Watford fan I know has had similar things to say about him.

So I think we've done a very good business indeed here.

quote Junior Messi

Aye, agree with that. Definitely played for the foul a few times tonight. Went on a terrific run though down the left during the second half, was lucky he couldn't pick anyone out in the end.

That's Jonas all over. His end product has improved massively this year, so I'm hoping it will continue. He was terrorising EPL defences in the same way last year, so his role is one of those I have most confidence in being able to make the step up.

If they win their game in hand then they have every chance. We should've won tonight, awful linesman decision for Charlie Mac's first goal, miles offside, still, even further behind even though we got a point, mightaswell start preparing for next year.

You'll get complacent and manage to lose all your games now that you've said that, with West Brom winning all of theirs and snatching the title.

Winning their last 3 games all by a 4-goal margin and you losing your remaining 3 games by 1 goal isn't that unrealistic, right?

Very impressed with the result tonight, not sure how we played but Reading's been a very tough place to go recently, so well done us, and well done Kevin Nolan, 17 for the season from midfield is very good, played really well recently as well. And the title is almost definitely ours, so brilliant

FFS my mates have decided that they don't wanna go to the Plymouth game, assholes, was really up for that, I'll have to watch it down the pub instead

The Football League appears to be a lot more exicting than the Premier League.

Rochdale getting thumped 5-0 and then losing to Darlington, 4 teams fighting it out for League One. Sounds good.
