Cannot say CBC kicking straight into touch was a tactic - the Reading coaching staff were losing their shit when he did it the second time. As said, just poor game management from the team on two occasions that led to goals. Were they also losing their shit when one of our players decided to waste ...

For that Play Off final versus Bolton, it always seemed to me that Bolton and Middlesborough were by far the 2 best sides in the division that season and that had there been 2 auto spots rather than just the 1, Bolton would have had it. We were the 3rd best side in the Division that season (the way...

Two more going.

MK 1 Crawley 5 and 1-8 winners on aggregate . Absolutely superb performance and Liam Kelly MotM again. MK ripped several new arseholes and deservedly so. Crawley would be a welcome addition to L1 next season.

Ark Royal Crawley 2-0 up at HT and well worth their lead. Great to watch and an excellent GK as well.

Noticed a certain Liam Kelly scored one of their goals.

3-0. Brilliant performance by Crawley and Kelly deservedly named MotM. MK can just fu ck off.

Liam Kelly opens scoring for Crawley vs MK Non-Club.

And talking of Reading record signings, only Steve "the greatest ever short goalkeeper the world has ever seen" Death (£20k in 1970, Terry Hurlock £92k in 1986, Keith Curle £150k in 1988 and Darren Caskey £750k in 1996) could be said to have been successful. The rest, Steve Moran, Craig M...

Birmingham City's relegation got my thinking, they can be added to the list of teams I've seen us play in the top 3 tiers. Having followed the club closely since 99/00 or so, the list currently includes Wigan, Bolton, Charlton, Stoke, Portsmouth, Derby and Swansea to my memory. Got me thinking, we ...

Wolves are the only team in England with a complete set of domestic honours: Div 1-4 champions, FA Cup winners, League Cup winners, Football League Trophy winners.

Reading once held the Football League record for consecutive unbeaten home league games. Between April 1933 and January 1936 they went 55 home games without defeat. This record stood for 31 years before being surpassed by Millwall in 1967.

Omnishambles of a rememberance. Charlie Hurley was an old school pragmatic manager for us and concentrated on making us very difficult to beat, but stuck with individual goal threats from Robin Friday, John Murray and (briefly) Percy Freeman. My nan worked at Elm Park for many years as a tea lady an...

Voted for Bindon and after that miraculous goal line clearance last night he should also win Sonko of the Season.

Ark Royal Only other team that comes close is Mansfield: P60 W23 D16 L11.

Ooh, they're in the run for promotion to L1 this season.

Be nice to be multiple clubs' bogey team.

As for our bogey teams, we will thankfully be dodging Chesterfield (hopefully) and Bury.

Only other team that comes close is Mansfield: P60 W23 D16 L11.

Definitely up for a schlepp to Barrow. I was also at that game in 72 at EP when vouchers were issued for the Arsenal cup game. 52 years ago. Yikes.

Winston Biscuit League of Wales champions The New Saints are playing Airdrie today as the first non Scottish team to take part in the Scottish Challenge Cup.

TNS are currently 33 games unbeaten

No dancing in the streets of TNS tonight. Airdrie win 2-1.

Sw*ndon for me. Oldest rival by far and played competitive games aganst them since the 1890s. The Shite and O*ford are just annoying little arrivistes compared to our Jerky neighbours.

And we scored all three goals!! Lucky,lucky Arsenull. Yes I was there in the Town end - great day Think Stuart Morgan headed a superb own goal from a corner for the winner? Was the equaliser Barrie Wagstaff at the Town end ? The other own goal was John Harley Dick Habbin cant remember that - was it...
