boro-unger 3,817 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Teams: Boro v Reading (which, coincidentally is also the name of Middlesbrough Council’s new anti-literacy campaign.... Burning books near you soon!) Location: Madejski Stadium Competition: The Championship Date: Saturday 25th September 2021 Time: 12:30 Introduction Welcome to the Reading Festival 2021. Full of revelry and rivalry. Don’t forget to stop by the food halls for all your evening snack and breakfast needs! The Last Games Boro 1 – 2 Blackpool. The Seasiders beat the Teessiders. Payero remained one of the outsiders. Sporar had plenty of offsiders. I drank appleciders. Fulham 1 – 2 Reading Reading beat flying Fulham in a surprise result to knock them off top spot and install the usurpers Bournemouth in their place. Ejaria scored both of the Royal goals. The Un(ger)-Official Match Preview Boro are sitting un-pretty in 16th. The Royals are on their thrones in 14th place, just 1 point above the Boro. Hopefully we see more fight from the Boro than against Blackpool, where most of the player’s resembled the visiting teams favourite mode of beach transport. 2-1 Boro with Payero and Sporar to score. The view from the other side https://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=188804 Talking Points - Any other past or present Boro players we should invite to play at the reading festival? - Will Payerosmith get his start? Or is that crazy? - Will Dijksteelers wheel be stuck in the middle, or playing at the back? - Score / Lineup etc. 6 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Djed Zeppelin, Kool-son and the Gang, the Tarmo Kinks, Aztec Kamara, the Boamtown Rats, Maddreness, Boz Craggs, Procol Haroum, The Reach Boys, and the headline act has to be the Pink Floyd Hasselbank.. the possibilities are endless :).. and especially for DZ.. the Korgis 🙂 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rat catcher 293 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Dreading the result. The only positive I will be playing golf at Rockcliffe. so cannot watch it. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Brilliant, OP. I'll just leave this here, regarding Neil Warnock: (Oh, and we'll lose 3-0, naturally.) 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Caught up with a Reading fan yesterday and he seems to think they've rejigged their starting XI and look pretty good now. Think Warnock will be in big trouble after this and Sheff Utd. Starting to feel like the Woody season, except we at least have a better squad this time. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Should be a comfortable Boro win, so that's a relief. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,952 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Swift has 7 goals and 4 assists in 8 games so far. That's mental. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BoroBoy1989 229 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Defend like we have been doing, and it won’t end well. Readings defence isn’t great either, mind you. Going for an optimistic draw myself Link to post Share on other sites
TheJew 2,886 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Defeat is inevitable. Warnock gone by end of next 3 games. Link to post Share on other sites
uncle_rico 387 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I think we'll see a return to 3 CB and wing backs, especially of McNair is fit. Link to post Share on other sites
