No Blackburn match thread? Sponsored by flat caps+whippets

[Dick Habbin's hairdo]

20 minutes in and I guess everyone is either a) totally ambivalent or b) painting their faces, blowing the dust off the Rumblestix and dry cleaning the jester's hats in preparation for next weekend.

WTF is our formation?

Gooding says not 4-4-2, we only have three defenders, no left back. 3-5-2?

Gunter-Pearce-Hector
McCleary-Ake-Chalobah-Karacan-HRK
Pog Mackie

[Pepe the Horseman]

Ake is playing left back isn't he?

Is this the first time we haven't had a match thread pre-kick off?

Anywayz, sounds like we're well on top, so fully expect Blackburn to take the lead just before half time.

whoscored has him CB and Hector LB - I'm sure you're version makes more sense.

Well, I never knew this.... even the U14s are shining at a national level.... http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article/nike-cup-champions-reading-u14s-face-arsenal-at-wembley-2386074.aspx

There are some dodgy haircuts in that team, what decade do they play in?

[Ian Royal]

Nearly half time and Blackburn have had no shots. We've made nothing tell. All sounds rather familiar. Watch for Blackburn plugging away determinedly and scoring with their first decent chance.

Grand National >>>>>>>>>>>>> Reading vs Blackburn

[From Despair To Where?]

I was just thinking, i'm a member of a pretty exclusive group, I've seen Reading beat Blackburn. Something no-one under 30 can claim.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Yes - I was there 4-0, 1986

Paul Canoville scored in first minute if I remember correctly

[paultheroyal]

4-5-1 is formation...

Mcleary left, Mackie right, Kanu through the middle

[From Despair To Where?]

That's the one, the only time we've ever beaten them. I can still remember Noel Brotherston and his prodigious slaphead running around in midfield for Blackburn. Didn't realise he died of a heart attack, aged 38.

C'mon Ryan's Royals!

glad TBM didn't show up today

[Ian Royal]

Exciting game - spent the last 10 mins on the Grand National.

[Dick Habbin's hairdo]

Back from watching the gee-gees at Liverpool.... and shocked at the ginga slaphead info

Haven't BRFC broken away and scored the winner yet?

[From Despair To Where?]

Haven't BRFC broken away and scored the winner yet?

Nah, it's not due until the 2nd minute of injury time

[Jagermesiter1871]

[seanboyd_2]

[Avon Royal]
