    Really?
    Where did you see that?
    I'd very much disagree.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    If Lita keeps playing like he is at the moment there will only be room for one of them in the Reading starting line up and Kitson is not too bad either.

    Long isn't a definite starter yet. He's behind Doyle and Lita. He's still a kid though

    Doyle will be first choice when he returns. Lita is probably ahead of Kitson now but I don't think will last as unless he scores Lita close to useless (i.e. contributes nothing around him)

    Yes, I did read this in a newspaper. It was a quote so it should be accurate.

    I don't think your in a position to dissagree if you don't see him play week in week out for the reserves. Remember he has just turned 20.

    That is correct. But the reading staff speak so highly of him - that is probably why Staunton is starting him ahead of Skokes and Keogh.

    It was quoted before he started scoring goals in that league.

    Lita is not half as good as people think he is, he's been very lucky recently and is in fact a much more limited player than Long or Doyle. Both have far more to their game than Lita. Apart from tapping them them in he is useless and a guilt edged chancer. His goals at the weekend were the only good ones I've seen. His purple patch will end soon. Shane has easily been the more industrious and productive of the two since they've been playing together, doing all the hard work while Lita poached.
