We are currently 10 games without a win against Reading. There's only one other side that we have a longer current winless run against (in all competitions). Which team is that?

The 0-0 in the FA cup in 2009 was the only draw against them in 10 attempts. We gave them a scare 2 seasons ago mind.
It might soon be every League One and Two team!
Didn’t we draw with them at home 0-0 in the Cup in 1969? Nearly 60,000 in the ground, got beat 3-1 in the replay in London I think, or was it 2-0? Have we played them more than 10 times since then, seeing as you mentioned 10 attempts?Quote:

It's worth noting that we've never lost at home to Arsenal in the FA cup, despite our dreadful record against them.
Here's a question for you, which City scorer in those matches you list is still with the club?Quote:
