    Reading to win by 3 goals: £19 @6/1
    Reading to win by 4 or more goals: £12 @ 10/1

    Back both: £31 returns >£132

    Thank me later.

    For purely academic purposes, Barnsley are 6/1 with Bet365. However, should you contemplate such a wager then it is important that you seek treatment as soon as possible.

    There's far more obvious bets out there tonight. Hoping to keep my winning streak going. Had a fiver acca on Saturday on Liverpool, Newcastle, Burnley and Rotherham who were ridiculously over priced. That returned £88ish quid, reinvested £3 of that on a cheeky bet in play with about 15 minutes of the Man Utd and Mochengladbach matches, the scores to stay the same till full time and made another £15.

    That on top of the £70 I won last week on the football and £50 at Cheltenham.

    Today's bet to follow ;)

    6-1 for a Barnsley win - really! do they know something we dont - those odds are dreadful. A reading win at 8/15 looks a lot more likely - you wont win much but I really cant see a Barnsley win tonight - hoping I am wrong mind but when you consider in our last 5 games we have scored 1 goal and conceded 12 its hard to be optimistic. - are you sure you are guaranteed a win by limiting the margin to only 3 or 4 goals - Im old enough to remember them putting 7 past us in Clarkes first season - and we had a better side then

    I disagree. I'm pretty sure we will get rolled over but not by so many.

    That game marked the final match of the Barnsley playing careers of Peter Springett, Graham Pugh, Bobby Flavell and Allan Clarke himself. John Collins only played one more game. Within a matter of days, we'd brought in quality defenders like Neil Cooper (£35 000 from Aberdeen) and Ian Evans (initially on loan from Crystal Palace before paying a then club record fee of £95 000).
    Sorry to be a pedantic pillock, but it was Clarke's second season as manager.

    Just think, Dave, how much our present defence would be improved by having a modern day equivalent of Mick McCarthy, Ian Evans & Neil Cooper in it. Then again, the midfield could include Mike Lester, Ian Banks & Ronnie Glavin and the attack Trevor Aylott.:D

    getting all dewey eyed thinking about it - If I think about that side I think only possibly Luke Steele from the present team and possibly O'Grady would even be in contention for a place and even then I think they would be on the bench

    Now not to be pedantic here but I hope your tips are better than your calculations!

    Back both: returns £265! (A profit of £234) IF ...They are both correct!

    If Reading only win by 3 then that returns £133 ....a profit of £102!

    OH ....And when the mighty reds snatch a last minute win ......YOU LOSE £31!

    Can the club produce players of the quality of Ian Banks, Phil Chambers, Stewart Barraclough (after being re signed from Bristol Rovers), Joe Joyce & Mick McCarthy, and play them all, again? Can the club attract players of the quality of Gary Pierce, Neil Cooper, Ian Evans, Norman Hunter, Trevor Aylott, Ray McHale, Mike Lester, Derrick Parker & Ronnie Glavin, if we were to slip into the third tier again? Are the club capable of doing it if we keep our Championship status?
    Perhaps we can. Although it IS difficult to maintain any form of optimism presently, things can get better.

    Peter Springett for me is one of the best keepers we have had IMO even though we were in the 4th Division at the time. 76/77 only had 39 goals against him in the league and think he was an ever present that season.

    Yup. Always thought he was of a better standard than 4th Division. Unfortunately, by the time of the mauling at Reading (where Clarke was giving some of the promotion winning team their last opportunity to stake a claim in the first team), Springett was way past his best. However, his performance at Elm Park and the games leading up to it were not indicative of his displays the previous four and a half years.

    We'll lose tonight, I have no doubts about that.

    If I was predicting the score, I'd go 3-1.

    'To win by 3 goals' means that, KT. Not '3 or more'. It's not possible to win on both parts. I rounded the figures up in regard to the return.

    'COYR'S' indeed! [But which ones? !]

    Wow, reading it like that then ...That really is a punt! We are certainly capable of scoring so if we get 1 then READING HAVE TO SCORE 4 OR 5!!!

    Safer bet for me would be £11 Reading to score >2.5 goals at 19/10 & £20 Reading to score >3.5 goals at 11/2! That way if they score your predicted 3 you are guaranteed your money back and if they get the 4th you are up your £131 irrespective of what we do!! ....BUT HERE'S THE REAL SWEETENER ....Barnsley win 5-4!
