It's Round and It's White

Brighton’s unbeaten home run in 2012 came to an unlucky end against the Championship’s form side, Reading. Ian Harte’s deflected free kick proved enough to separate the title chasing Royals and play-off hopeful Seagulls in a hugely entertaining clash at the AMEX. In his pre-match press conference, Gus Poyet asked fans to get the AMEX rocking and the fans certainly responded. And it was ... Read More »

Bristol City fell to defeat at the hands of Reading thanks to a solitary goal from Jason Roberts despite being impressive at times in an even game at the Madejski Stadium. The big talking point came on the 58th minute of the match, when Louis Carey was sent off for a foul on Jason Roberts in the box. Roberts, making his ... Read More »

West Ham came to the Madjeski Stadium full of confidence sitting second in the league. Whereas Reading fans weren’t so hopeful for this game, after recently losing to Blackpool. The game started brightly with both teams getting chances but failing to put them away. Slowly the game started to slow down and eventually lost my interest as both teams were ... Read More »

Bristol City fans left Ashton Gate last night in absolute disbelief as City squandered a two goal lead to lose the game 3-2. Bristol City manager Keith Millen made two changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Hull City three day’s previous, with lone home goalscorer Brett Pitman replacing Jon Stead who takes a place on the bench and ...

Middlesbrough’s tour of Slovenia kicked off on Thursday against Turkish outfit BB Istanbul. There were some unusual spectators to this pre-season game, Reading FC came to scout their Championship opposition, as they are training just a short distance away. Boro started the game with a mixture of experience and youth. Danny Coyne stood between the sticks for the first time ... Read More »
