I notice they don’t try to interview the guest payer at half time anymore. I was wondering if this was because of the state of the PA system. Can’t hear the interviews in Block 20

I think the atmosphere at the Oxford game is up there with the best since our return to the Arena. Noise all the way from the stadium, through the tunnels and into Tesco car park at the end of the match. Inside, the stadium was a real cauldron, even the Oxford manager referred to the atmosphere...

Robins played him all of the time. He started the season in the team ahead of Eccles. His problem has been that for most of the last 18 months he has been injured or ill.

Another backward step if that happens

Your feelings about the replay last season don’t seem to match those of most City fans as over 19k turned up at the CBS for the game. I think almost all would have gone home happy having seen an entertaining game and a 4-1 win for our team. Don’t forget that’s 19k customers all paying on the...

I don’t agree. What you are basically saying is that going to watch your team in a football match is a chore. If that’s the case don’t go. I would hazard a guess that if we had had to replay at Hilsborough we would have taken a very healthy following. As for romanticising the FA Cup, that’s the...

A few years ago, this was allowed. Quite rightly clubs were prevented from doing this as it handed the advantage back to the bigger club and made an upset (something that everyone wants to see unless it’s your own club) that much more unlikely. Just have the replays, allow the smaller clubs both...

Look at the excitement that would have been missed in last years semi final if extra time was scrapped

You say he did okay, I would say he was man of the match. That doesn’t make him Hamer but it does mean he should be given credit for his performance rather than sneered at. He made a difference today and helped to put us on the front foot in an attacking sense time and time again. He has had...

Hard to see anything in that article that would make Robins upset

The 90 seconds after Torps goal were my best as a City fan and that includes ‘67’ and ‘87’. To come from 3-0 down at Wembley against Man Utd and to come within a toe nail of beating them, beating Wolves at Molineux with two injury time goals. I’d stand by glorious.

You can see reading through this thread that those who have sought to undermine and to devalue this competition have done a good job. It used to be that cup games would see a substantial increase in the gate compared to league games. The fielding of weakened teams coupled with changes to the...

I also have to say about Oggy that he comes across as really knowledgeable and informed on the radio. It beats me how one poster called him thick. He obviously does a lot of research before games and all in all gives a balanced view of each game. Yes, like Clive he gets players and teams mixed...

For me Oggy is the best keeper I have seen play for the club narrowly pipping Bill Glazier at the post. The reasons for this are the number of games he played for us, all when we were a top flight club, his longevity and his shear consistency. Glazier I think was the more spectacular and...

Last season produced my most memorable moment after 60 years of supporting this club, even more so than winning the cup. That 90 seconds after Torp had scored was simply unreal. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. Add that to the fantastic day at Molineux and there is no way...

Holmes for Luton was sent off in the 90th minute. We scored the winner a minute later. We had dominated at Middlesbrough, creating chances until their guy was sent off after 20 odd minutes. The sending off actually galvanised them for a while and changed the nature of the game.

The post I replied too indicated that the level of the performance at Portsmouth was standard for the season, something that is clearly not true, it is by far the worst. With regards to looking fallible under Robins, we recovered nicely last season after losing 4 on the trot including abject...

Disagree. I think Saturday’s performance was a new low. The only comparable game under Robins this season was the 3-0 defeat to Leeds but then you have to consider that Leeds are possibly the best team in the league while Portsmouth are one of the worst. There were many mediocre performances...

Considering how awful we were , it’s not surprising that the team lost the first 3 games of Robin’s return including a 2-0 home defeat to Southend, the worst performance by a City team that I have ever seen. We were abject when he came back and Robin’s performed a miracle with those players. In...

I’d say that the ‘not to worry too much about Lampard, there’s plenty more managers in the sea if he is poor’ approach to the appointment is the recipe for disaster. We need to make sure that this manager fits the plan that King et al have for the club and that he is then given the time to...
