Funny to think that was 11 years ago now. I was so keen to get to Highbury before Arsenal moved that I got my gooner uncle to get me some tickets to an Arsenal league game - it ended up being the game the Saturday before so I went to Highbury twice in 4 days.
I went looking for predictions for this game and unsurprisingly people are suggesting a home win, Brentford are very strong at home after all. However, this one made me chuckle at how much they got wrong in such a small passage. Both sides will be pretty content with life right now after bright sta...
I remember this fat middle aged Arsenal fan on the bus after the 7-5 cup game, giving it large about how shit Reading were. Just what we needed, an in-depth tactical analysis of our defensive qualities, delivered with lots of swearing and aggression when it was pointed out that his side had just lea...

Within reason, what else was McCleary to do while that northern gobshite stood over Williams and gave him an earful? Tap him on the shoulder and say 'excuse me, could you kindly not do that?'?
Great to still pick up 3 points after that incident.

This is exactly why Reading are up in my top three despised...
In 1946 Doncaster won 33 games, drew 6 and lost 3, giving 105 points under the current system. This was achieved in a 42 game season, giving a better points per game record over the course of the season than the 106 team.
Would have thought that Newcastle would be the ones to break it when they got relegated the first time. As they didn't, I think it will be safe for another year. They hit 102 last time, and Leicester hit the same tally in 13/14, with Fulham hitting 101 in 1999. Adding in Sunderland's previous recor...
