I've just noticed that Clattenburg was in charge of the most obviously fixed game in recent years. Zagreb 1-7 Lyon from the Champions League. The one with the dodgy wink.
Has he ever been in charge of a game that we've actually won, by the way? We seem to have an awful record with him in charge.

I had a quick look and in 2010-11 we won about 3 out of 4 with him. We were expected to beat Villa, Birmingham and Bolton at home though and the loss was of course United away. I don't think he hates us, more that he's a **** ref and he loves United.
 
i know it's not their 1st team,as they will point,out,but it is'nt Reading's regular player's either,and some of the goons have played for the 1st team.
 
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown on BBC Radio 5 live:

"Don't underestimate this Reading performance but as an Arsenal player this is an embarrassment."

He's not but I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger's ringing him up at halftime to see if he's got his boots on him.
 
4-1 HT. Reading have no confidence, so it's not impossible that the Goons could pull this back. They'll need to play a lot better than that, though.
 
It's still a strong goons team though. Reading have never beaten Arsenal so what does it say for Arsenal to get beaten by a team to which they've never lost? Oh dear,what does it say? As they've lost their last two without scoring as well it seems the bottle job has started early.

If arsenal score soon after the break I wouldn't be surprised of they came back and turned this round. I think I'll wait on any gloating for at least another 45 minutes, or maybe until after tomorrow nights match!
