Reading 1 West Brom 1

West Brom returned to the Madejski on Saturday and with both teams in great form and also considering the result of the recent FA Cup clash between the two you would have expected it to be a great game – and you’d have been right. It was non-stop action with both teams pushing hard to [ READ MORE ]

Apologies for the gap in posting. I’ll just give a quick lowdown on this game and Palace, and then normal service will resume! On Saturday 13th we took on West Brom in the Cup and we saw the return of Simon Cox – who fortunately was unable to demonstrate what a player he has become. [ READ MORE ]

Blades put Royals to the sword.

Sheffield United beat Reading 3-0 tonight at Bramall Lane. Former Royal James Harper started for the home side, whilst former Blade Brian Howard came on as a sub to face his former employers.
