1. At 11am nobody was predicting a day quite like this
2. GET IN!!!!
3. We're feeling #GladUlloa
Meanwhile, ten years ago
4. In amidst the love for the Man from Argentina, Stephen Ward brought us right back in it.
But, whisper it. It was a patchy performance.
5. Shirts Off
6. Remember it was Burnley keeper Tom Heaton who kept out Reading
We didn't need Agent Barnes after all...
7. Oscar to CMS "Just go and do Something"
'The manager said go on and do something, I have waited and waited. It has been a long road. It is fantastic to come on and do something like that for the team. We can take a lot of confidence from this.'
""He couldn't play for a long time and he's getting fitter and fitter..To be involved in the goal made me feel very pleased for him." Is it the best substitution he has made this season? "I think I've made some good substitutions this season to get here," he said with a smile.
8. We did ourselves proud
Here's what it meant in all its shaky, euphoric, swaying glory
meanwhile, back home...
And obviously you're going to bump into TB on the train clutching a can of Strongbow
9. Matt Le Tissier became rather excited on Soccer Saturday
"The Brighton fans are going mental"
10. News at the City Ground didn't quite make it down to the Madejski
Word eventually got through...
"not his usual chirpy self"
11. Tactically, Oscar got it right again
Amongst his subs it was Kaz who provided the run for CMS to make *that* assist. He also kept faith with Leo despite a frustrating afternoon until the 92nd min.
12. For those at home Kaz was right in our living rooms...
"No complacency, but over the season they've tried to play in a similar style as us, but just haven't done it nearly as well. Looking forward to a trip to the seaside. Bring it on!""They play a possession game but aren't really that forceful Pretty to watch but quite pedestrian. If we don't beat these over 2 legs then it'll be a bit of a let down.""The two legs will be good games to watch, and I fancy us to beat em. And if we lose, we lost to a team playing the right way and I can take that. Rather that than be kicked off the pitch by those thugs at Wigan for 180+ minutes."
Over the last few weeks we have cemented our place in the play-offs and our level of performance hasn't dropped, but we are taking nothing for granted.Brighton will be buzzing after defeating Nottingham Forest and qualifying for the play-offs so we will take that into account.
15. Oscar - "we will be ready"
"I don't like to think about favourites and underdogs," said García. "It will be difficult for us, but we wanted to play this game; we will be ready, and we will be full of confidence."
