RR Foreign Legion - Across the Pond - View from Texas
Who is going to Wembley to face Arsenal in an FA Cup Semi-Finals match? The Bradford Bantams and their manager, one Philip John Parkinson (also known as Parky by some), come visiting Madejski Stadium to settle that matter, following a 0-0 draw at Bradford's Valley Parade. While the pitch at the MadStad is not in as good a form as it has been in the past, it should offer a slightly better playing surface than VP's moonscape uneven surface. But which side will come through in this much-anticipated match - the Home Heroes of Berkshire or the visitors from West Yorkshire? It will be 90 minutes (and more) of stylized battle (and from the prior round, not always stylized at all, complete with blood on the ground) to determine that answer - how do you predict it will end?

Points System

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 3-1 Wolves
8 points - correct draw e.g. you predict Reading 1-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 2-2 Wolves
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 1-0 Wolves and the result is Reading 2-1 Wolves
5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 1-0 Wolves
1 point - if you get the prediction completely wrong, you still get one point for taking part!

Bonus Points

You get bonus points for three things:

2 points - correct half-time score
5 points - correct goalscorer (NOTE: this season you get points for correctly predicting the goalscorers of both Reading AND their opposition. You only get the points if the team score the same amount of goals as you predicted or more. This prevents prediction of ridiculous scorelines for more points.)
5 points - correctly predicting the 'bonus question', unique to each game

Please put the score in this format:

Reading 3-2 Wolves (HT: 1-0)
Hector
Taylor
Murray
Henry
Evans

...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'...

Match bonus question is: what will be the average time for all goals scored by both clubs in this match in both regular and extra time, according to the final BBC stats? Credit will be given for answers not more than 5 minutes (tighter limit here!) away from the average time for all goals scored as posted by the BBC. If you expect that the match will go goal-free AET, please submit 0:00 as your guess for this question. Note that the BBC do post in their play-by-play the actual times of goals in added time (example, 90+2:15), and that is the time to be used for the average (in the example, 92:15 would be used), so the average could possibly be above 90 minutes, as it was for Reading cards in the Brighton match!

Good luck with your predictions, and good luck to the Royals!

Just to check - does the predicted score count after 90 minutes, or at the end extra time (if it goes that far)?
