Hey Guys,

On Saturday its gunna be a intresting game between Reading and Southampton. Obviously its a sad occasion too, due to Reading Acadamy Goalkeeper Stewart McEwan, who sadly died last week on a canoeing trip in Wales. There will be a minute of applause, so please show your respect.

Reading are on fantastic form, winning our last 3 and scoring 9 goals in the process. Team news wise, SC is most likely to name the same team, going with the 'If it ain't broke, dont fix it' mentality. Bikey should be fit after stuggling with an injury. The international break has proved to be a bit of a pain in the past for Reading it seems, but still good to the Irish Contingent play.

Southampton not doing incredibly well but put up a good fight against Wolves last weekend and maybe unlucky not to get anything. I dont know most of the Southampton team but Ive seen a few people complaining about the team, saying its full of youngsters. At the end of the day, you need someone thats gunna give you that bit of experince. Any players that are worth looking out for Southampton Fans?

Overall, should be a good game, my personal prediction is for Reading to win, maybe to scrap it out. Maybe a bit like the Doncaster game, thinking we are gunna smash 'em, but only narrowly win.

What are you predictions?

Whats happened to Glen Little? Cant believe he chose Pompey when he was just about to sign a contract at Reading.Surely he realised he had no chance of regular football at Fratton but had a decent chance of playing at the MadStad! Must have been the money - certainly there is little loyalty left in the game! He is not being missed.

So much for certainties rfc_66.

I know why Reading were relegated last season now. Everyone else gets 3 points for a win!

PompeyReading, please say what you want. Everybody else does!

Glen Little ? Of course he's being missed! Well i miss him anyway ... Mr Kebe looks just a little fragile in comparison. Come back Blakey!

I did rate Little a couple of seasons ago but following several injuries and a long lay off he was never going to get back to where he was.I didn't see him as being Premiership class now but he might have played a part with Reading in the Championship this season.I was disappointed he chose to leave and still think it was a mad decision on his part.At best he has only got another season (or 2) left and surely he would prefer to be playing regularly.Money isn't everything!
