Reading v. United

Not the start to the season you want - a frustrating 0-0 draw. Other stats : pastie (byo) £1.59, attendance 75,655, brilliant sunshine. Comments : John O'Shea comes on as a sub playing centre forward - just when you need forwards Rossi and Smith who were sold last week. Dave Kitson comes on as a sub for Reading, makes a fouling tackle gets a red card - one of the shortest appearances on a pitch I've seen. Highlights : A fight four rows in front. Weird thing was the bloke went to get the stewards and the police to get someone ejected for mouthing off. Then he started the fight. Four people escorted away.
