I’m actually a little bit nervous ahead of the game tonight against Chelsea. Not entirely sure why, as I can’t remember being nervous for a Premier League game before. Certainly not before the Middlesborough game, that was just pure excitement, as was Sunday’s game against Man United. Also, we have very little to lose as Chelsea are one of the big four. I wasn’t particularly bothered about losing 4-0 to Arsenal, although it is not something I’d want to watch every week.
No, I think I’m a little bit nervous on behalf of Stephen Hunt. As the media has helpfully pointed out, it will be Chelsea and Petr Cech’s first visit to Reading since that night. I’m sure he’ll take it in his stride, but I’m worried Mourhino will do something, or Hunt will let the occasion get to him, react badly to a challenge or something.
I almost forgot about the return of Steve Sidwell. I’m sure he’ll get a cheer from most of the Reading fans (probably when his name is read out as one of the substitutes). Cech will also be applauded and Hunt will be cheered. I’d like to think Mourhino will be totally ignored, but I know better. Still, he deserves it, and probably loves the abuse anyway.
The bus comes at 7 and hopefully will manage to get up the hill; we were so nearly late for the last evening game. There are more buses this season, and a train station is planned for 2008, so that should help with the traffic a bit.
