Royal Visit

[royalbarclayfan]

I remember our trip to Reading
Where we were dealt rather a jolt,
We ended up losing both two points
As well as our good skipper Holt,
We certainly felt quite hard done by
As replays and evidence backed,
The red card which Oliver gave him
Had much to do with the Harte act,
And although that is done and dusted
It might not take that much I fear,
For one awkward or misplaced tackle
To instigate some afters here,
So I hope tomorrow we are spared
Such antics on the field of play,
For play-acting of such dimension
Should be left down Hollywood way,
We should though expect quite a tussle
As Reading will want to hang on,
To those top six places which right now
Are moving, but nowhere near gone,
So it is games like this where three points
For us would be huge on the day,
One or two of our leading rivals
Seem to have tough fixtures away,
And the more we can open up a gap
Between the top six and the rest,
The harder points will be to come by
For those wanting to join the best,
And although a visit from Royals
Should be such an orderly treat,
This one would give great satisfaction
To spoil, and dish out a defeat. OTBC

Hi RBF bor, I agree, a lot riding on this game. Hopefully there will be no repercusion of the previous encounter and we witness a fluent game of football.

I guess Ian Harte will come under special scrutiny if he plays, especially if he opts to show off his acting prowess!

I see you have adopted a more prosaic style this week, still apt and to the point.

Morning NORKIE, do try to vary it a bit, if possible, at the moment am vary wary of using apostrophes which seem to come with an A virus attached, makes verse writing even more challenging.

Important game this, will either see us cementing our place or begin to drop back into the chasers, rather think that there is too much at stake for PL to accept anything but three points.

Lovely work once again, RBF.
Sorry to hear you're still having problems, wondered if it might be location related but Viking's posts appear to be ok.

Cheers dave, it comes and goes, thought I had fixed it by removing my profile pic, but apparently not, will get on to the Admin. if it becomes too irritating. Let´s see if that one gets the bug!

In today's Evening News, Reading goalkeeper hopes the Norwich fans dont give Ian Harte a hard time when Reading play Norwich after he got Holt sent off in the game at their ground. (perhaps Holt could return the favour)
