    Yes he won't be the first Irishman to score tonight though as Paul McShane has just put the ball in his own net apparently, Stephen Kelly might want to claim it though.

    1:0 Reading Bikey sored assist by Doyle (I think), I have backed Reading at 6-1, so no doubt Chelsea will equalise soon and probably end up winning.

    Long was not on for long.

    Subbed when they went down to 10 men 4-4-1 now I think.

    Useless player, give him a hurl and tell him to get lost. Name one serious team we have beaten with long in the team.

    Am I one of the few here that doesn't rate Long? Have seen him play plenty of times now (for both Reading and Ireland) and really haven't seen anything in him to be excited about. Would still rate Stokes, Elliott and Murphy ahead of him in the pecking order...

    Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see him becoming a regular Premiership striker...

    Name one serious team we've played with Long in the team. Give him a chance.

    i havent seen enough of him either, only through premiership and other stuff, he is very quick but i have to sorta agree with neil from what ive seen of him he hasn't done an awful lot to beleive this hype.

    I think the hype around him is, that because he only seriouslly concentrated on football from 16 onwards and is only 20, that in 4 years he has come on leaps and bounds, that he WILL automatically improve again on that within 2 - 3 years. This might not necessarily be the case though.....we will wait and see, if he hasn't come on again by 22 then he will end up in the 1st division or so.

    I personally think he will end up in the championship in a year or 2. He tries hard but any game i have seen him in he has struggled to impose himself and with Doyle, Lita, Kitson and the Korean fella ahead of him when fit at Reading i think he will struggle to get a game.

    Longs development is probably been held back by lack of games.

    Stokes & Stephen 'always injured' Elliot are no better. Murphy offers more than all of them.

    I think Neil was trying to mimic some other posters. Check out his McShane comments too. I thought it was funny actually. Calm down Neil, count to 10...

    Murphy is absolute pants. All the aforementioned 3 are way better strikers than him. Against Spurs on Saturday he was rubbish, Stokes looked way better. Never looked like scoring. He's Championship level at best. At least the other 3 have youth on their side.

    Of the others I think Stokes now looks the best prospect. Long hasn't improved much in the past year or so. He runs around like a headless chicken far too much.

    I can't take your comments seriously when you think Stokes is better. You then criticise Long for running around like a headless chicken which is ironic.

    Funny, I remember Murphy having Sunderland's best chance in the first half
