Ouch! Reading is my team outside Denmark and to lose like that hurt. Federici was great and I feel so sorry for him. A good game but terrible result..

They fought for everything and Federici will come back stronger can i ask why do you support Reading outside Denmark.

You may but I couldn't really give you a great reason. I used to watch their games when they were in the PL from 06-08 and I always liked their do or die attitude. Then it just became a habit and they are now the international team I follow (to a lesser extent I also follow Inverness Caledonian Thistle because my family spent a few summers in that area when I was younger and Aston Villa).

We desperately need Hull to lose tomorrow don't we? Considering we play each other soon, Hull could keep us both up. Good luck tomorrow, I'm hoping for a draw as I don't want Leicester or Burnley winning. My head is telling me once again, you guys will win. You have momentum.

Ironically, now the Swans and the Hammers are out of the way, I think our toughest opponents are teams like Burnley, QPR etc Other than Chelsea, obviously, but I don't expect anything from that came when it comes to us so I'm not concentrating on it.

Not to take anything away from my club but I don't think Leicester's current success is entirely down to them but more that mid table teams no longer really need to try anymore whereas it was all still to play for when we met them earlier in the year or last year. When you get out of the bottom third, the table is pretty much set in stone by this point, it has really since the end of March. Every single team enjoys a win but at this late in the season the wins only really still matter to us at the bottom. Leicester took a fight to those clubs that they just can't replicate this late in the season and that is why we came out on top. At least in part.

But that said, that fight is going to be completely cancelled out when it comes to other bottom clubs who will be bringing the same level of fight to the table. Earlier in the season I reckon we could take three points from Burnley no problem but I can see tomorrows game being a struggle to even take a point away from now they're backed into a corner with everything to play for.

I'm on cloud nine right now but it feels so bitter sweet, why couldn't Hull have lost and Sunderland got more than a draw?
