Archie's 93rd and 96th minute strikes to defeat Fat B*stard's Wolves at EP takes some beating.

Seeing as it can't be promotion based, it'll have to be Forster's winner at home to Wigan in the playoff semi-final 2001 and Archie;s late show against Wolves in 96

Reading 4 Plymouth 3
3-0 down after an hour and with droves leaving, we were reated to the greatest moment. Kevin Bremner was the catalyst, not least for the outrageous dive for a pen. Now that was a great moment.

The a few weeks later we went to Sheff Utd, were 3-0 down and came back to draw 3-3. God, I loved the 80's.

The Stoke pitch invasions or the Swansea game at Elm Park where it all kicked off.

Only a month or so before Pardew left - home to Forest on an August Saturday. Gorgeous sunny day, just about the whole of the East stand in blue and white, with the stadium virtually full. Kevin Watson comes on for the second half and we start playing some absolutely superb football that destroys Forest.

And that was the first inkling I had that something special was going to happen - it suddenly struck me that I was watching "little Reading" playing to a full house in our state-of-the-art stadium, and destroying Forest, the team who were European Champions when I was first watching and learning about football.

Nicky Forster's 2nd goal at Sheffield United on Valentine's Day 2003 to make it 3-1. Absolute battered for 1st 30 mins, already 1-0 down but produced 1 of the best displays I've ever seen a Reading side produce against an in-form and very good Sheffield United side.

First ever game at the Madejski Stadium, Mass Sarr was in top form and we won 3-0 against Luton. A great day out.

Win away at Tranmere in the play-off semis
Nogan's goal at Wembley
Adie's goal at Wembley
Archie's quick fire double in injury time against FSB's Wolves
Parky's screamer against Wolves in the League Cup (I think)
Forster's winner against Wigan in the play-off semis
Andy Hughes' winner against Forest on a Friday night live on Sky
Home game vs Boro this season

The last two away Oxford games at the old manor was excellent, especially the piss taking of the two goalkeepers.

"Dodgy keeper!" :lol:

Forster's winner against Wigan in Div 2 play-offs in 2001.

The 3-1 win at Sheff United in our first year back in Div. 1.

Forster's goal at Wolves in the play-offs in the same year.

Those last 7 minutes at the Reebok this season.

Seconded. I was heading out and halfway across the tilehurst end when we got the penalty.

I have never left early since.
