Pre-Match
Pre Reading Prayers
By: MoonPig |It’s the end of the season as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
If you didn’t know already, our season ended a while ago so expect a party atmosphere at Pride Park today, especially if we beat Reading after their comments about our great club earlier this week… Let’s hope comments like that backfire big [...]
The High And The Lows…
By: MoonPig |It’s difficult to think of an even amount of highs and lows, hence the title of this post - so I’m going with 3 of each. It was incredibly hard to limit the “lows” to just 3, and it was even harder to come up with 3 highs.

Pre-Fulham Prayers…
