Maybe it's unreasonable to expect more and time to accept we have become a completely unremarkable and almost talentless mid table outfit. In which case 4-1 against one of the worst teams ever to foul the premiership is a good result. Still, the worst first half of football you are ever likely to see. Gervinho and Giroud utter garbage, Arteta has really gone downhill, Ramsey works so hard but he's so awful. Even so, no matter what dross we have out there now it was enough to dominate a Reading team that shouldn't be within a mile of this league.

In the end 4-1 was a sad result, Reading were that bad. Should have been 10-0, conceding the goal was humiliating. Cazorla tried to play but was prevented by all the shit around him. Ox looked lively when he came on and Pods looked overweight. Rosicky anonymous apart from his glaring miss.

3 points but we really stink. If we finish 4th it is a terrible condemnation of English football. But I think we will because the spuds are just as bad as us.
