Shorey gone 2008-08-08 14:50:00 At last the moaning left back has gone. And good riddance. He's been sulking at the back for so long he should have gone to West Ham a long time ago but it was Aston Villa that bought him in the end, although Im glad to see him go Im not glad that Coppell is putting Hunt in Left back as thats such a stupid move as that is a brilliant play maker who works and commands the wing well.

in a dramatic game of three penalties.It was going well into the second halve and even looked like the Royals would take a win but the same old style of crap play crept in and the back 4 just fell to peices.
