Everton drew 1-1 with Wigan, meaning we're unbeaten in 2006 so far

Blackburn beat Man Utd 4-3 while Arsenal crashed 3-2 at home to West Ham, and Man City beat Newcastle 3-0 to seal Grame Souness' fate.

UP THE IRONS! What a year we are having. I saw we were as high as ninth in the Premiership just recently, that may improve after beating Arsenal at home! I think we are still alive in the FA cup also!

Well Birmingham may have knocked our (reserves) team out of the FA Cup this week, but we just beat Southampton 2-0 to go 13 points clear at the top of the Championship, and 24 points clear of Leeds and Watford in the race for promotion to the Premiership. It will be amazing to see my little club mix it with the big boys next year

I can see Reading holding their own in their first season in the Premiership, a bit like Wigan have done so far this season.

Shit I assume I would be the only Reading/Sturt supporter in the world. Many memories of Eim Park and most of the other lower division ground in England. Coming back from 3.0 down with approx 30 mins to play and beating Plymoth 4.3! Same thing at Wolves one glorious midweek pm. 2.0 down at the half 2.3 winners by the end. Mind you I also remember going up to Chesterfield on Sat and being quite noisy as we took a deserved 1.0 lead. After 90 mins the final score Chesterfield 7 Reading 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
