Reports are out claiming that Reading boss Steve Clarke says Royals fans can be proud of their team after defeat in the FA Cup semifinal to Arsenal.
Reading took Arsenal to extra-time before losing 2-1.
Clarke said: “These are the moments you need in a game like this, where you are the underdog to go for us, unfortunately for us, they are not.
“I am disappointed because I know that not many people outside our dressing room believed me when I said I thought we would win.
“Our performance showed why I had that belief, the players got the tactics spot on, we came here and had a good. There were stages in the game where we were the better team, which is an achievement against as good a side as Arsenal.
“The fans can all go home proud of their team’s performance today, which shows you the potential of Reading Football Club.”
