How bad was Luke Varney's miss for Leeds? Just seen it on SSN, one of the worst I've ever seen!

How bad was Luke Varney's miss for Leeds? Just seen it on SSN, one of the worst I've ever seen!

I know it's a phrase that's bandied about a lot but that actually was way harder to miss. Short of hitting it backwards, he couldn't have hit that at any other angle for it to miss. I hope he never wears the shirt again (not just based on that, he's generally gash).

[Adam]

In the words of the 5 Live Sports Extra commentator: "If you'd never seen a football in your life and that opportunity fell to you, I'd back you to score it" referring to a Luke Varney miss from 6 inches out. He might be the most useless pile of shit to ever pull on a Leeds shirt... and he's competing with the likes of Paul Rachubka, Tresor Kandol, Peter Sweeney and Billy Paynter.

I'm glad he was shit for you lot, because he's doing very well here now!

Also...

It is not the first time Reading have been beaten 7-5. The Royals, despite four goals from Kerry Dixon, lost by the same scoreline at Third Division opponents Doncaster Rovers in September 1982.

[Lineker]

Goddamn.

[Matticus]

Jeez, how does it feel to be a Reading fan at the moment? Ouch.

Not very good, thats probably done our season in now. To feel such a high then to feel so low after.

I feel QPR are gunna hammer us and I fear for McDerrmott to be honest.

[IAceI]

So glad Arsenal/Reading happened, means no one is paying attention to possibly the worst performance I've seen in a long time from us. That was reminiscent to the end of Bruce's time as manager. Villa in the league on Saturday, not going to be a pretty match.

[Summers]

Was on the train back home last night, and some Arse fan was watching the extra time on his mobile. He was going batshit crazy. It was hilar.

BBC gossip column says Chelsea have asked their fans to wear fancy dress tonight. Please tell me that's true.

Will probably be focused on just the family section (West Stand Lower) though.

I hear John Terry has his ghost costume ready.

[MJB]

Strong Chelsea side. Can't see us winning this one tonight, especially after everything that happened on Sunday.

So he's going as a referee then?

[Hobo]

Liverpool squad:

Jones, Robinson, Coates, Carragher, Henderson, Shelvey, Allen, Cole, Assaidi, Yesil, Downing.

Subs: Ward, Suarez, Gerrard, Suso, Sterling, Skrtel, Wisdom.

[Nerf]

Interesting we're starting with a 3-4-3 after Everton, unless Henderson is now a converted right back

[therockbox]

Henderson played at right back during last season's away game at Blackburn, where we went down to 10 men, which was his best game for us.

The match starts soon. Anxious to arrive at Stamford Bridge.

Looks like MVP is attending the game tonight!
