Terrific win for Reading, the lad who had the mazy run before, really should have scored, it was like Maradona
In other news the teenager that ManUre pulled out of signing( probably had no cash) has signed for Fiorentina for an "initial fee" of £7.2 million...rising to a potential £10 million, with add-ons.

No money for Fergie perhaps?

Fiorentina have agreed terms with Partizan Belgrade over the transfer of Adem Ljajic to the Serie A club.
The Serbian midfielder almost moved to Old Trafford
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder will become a Viola player pending a medical examination.
A statement from the club said: "Fiorentina announces that an agreement has been reached with Partizan Belgrade for the signature on a permanent basis of player Adem Ljajic."
Ljajic came close to joining Manchester United but the club announced at the start of December they would not be taking up their option to sign the player.
The Serbian Under-21 international is considered one of his country's biggest talents and his abilities have led to him being nicknamed 'Little Kaka'.

At one stage last summer it appeared Ferguson would definitely sign Costa, only for the deal to go cold, amid concerns about the player's attitude.
United did invite the Brazilian Under-20 international to spend a short trial period with them. But Costa refused, preferring instead to remain with Gremio.
