It's always been sh*t. It's always been sh*****t.....

I like to call this 'The Brendan Rodgers derby'; both sets of fans sat in abject silence looking sad as the ball is lumped into touch for the billionth time courtesy of the boot of ropey old 'honest' pros like Andy Griffin or Lloyd Doyley.

A young Kevin Phillips played in that game.

...and a certain Nigel Gibbs was sent off.

Oh remember being halfway down the M4 one winters day when the game was called off

[Maguire]

And 3 years ago this week there was a decent 4-0 home win.

Yeah and what happened to our home form after that?

We did beat Wolves in the next home game - then that was the effective end of the season.

Ah yeah, I remember that. We played Julian Kelly right-back and got lucky with an og.

I particularly remember that goal Doyley scored past Buffon, his Champions League appearances and who could forget the FA Cup final he played in for Newcastle. On the other hand what's Andy Griffin ever done in his career?

This thread has nothing to do with Adam Federici

Should sing this at the game, few of them would probably have a sniggle in agreement. Awful fixture...point each and lets move onto the next.

Hey look it's my shadow.

Keep your hands out of your trousers GenericRoyalFan it's got nothing to do with Alex McCarthy either.

I might actually put a few quid on 0-0.

9/1 on skybet

Likewise, returns of £10 will pay for a Sat night out

[Fox Talbot]

Oh remember being halfway down the M4 one winters day when the game was called off

I remember breaking down on the motorway one winter's day and missing a 1-2 there.

Also remember going there for a 3rd Cup game that was called off (fog) then just about seeing us lose 0-5 in the still fog-benighted re-arranged game.

Never seen Reading win there, the ghost goal being the only pleasant surprise but not one we could cheer much at the time. Whassat? What happened? Oh.

And scored IIRC

I remember the 4-2. Did they have Graham Taylor back as manager then? Dire stuff.

3-0 win was when Pardew gave Peter Castle and Ahmed Rifat (??) places in the squad. Never saw them in the shirt again that I remember.

Didn't we once lose 1-0 on the last day of the season before the play-offs when someone like Ashley Young scored a deflected goal and the whoel thing was full of daytrippers and completely awful?

It was Peter Castle and Darren(?) Campbell wasn't it? Campbell was a right winger, Castle a CB.

Yeah you're right - I remember seeing Campbell in traing a few times. Small but lively. Still, I was right with the "never saw him again" bit!

0-0 at Watford in the premiership was, literally, the worst game of football I have ever seen. The skysports highlight being, apparently, a lingering close up on myself & RL. IIRC Bikey played right back and looked like he had never seen a football before in his life.

Only half decent one I can recall was a 0-3 win at Watford in a game when we were already promoted.

Worse than the Coventry away 0-0 in 09?

Or the two Walsall FA Cup ties?
