    Mark Robins

    John Sillett is a legend and it can never be underestimated what he achieved. He gave us our first major trophy and the joy he engendered was brilliant. But he never had to deal with all the crap MR has had. At this point MR is up with JH and could go even higher.

    FA Cup Thread: Examples Of Media Writing Us Off

    Roy Keane's smirk when the draw was made. Would love to see it wiped off. I hope MR saw it and was suitably fired up by it.

    Leicester points deduction

    Ashdown, Please delete this post. It is disgusting and must be in breach of all standards of decency. You would not make a blatantly racist post so withdraw a blatantly sexist post.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    Many of us have seen City beat Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester utd, Tottenham, Chelsea, Villa, Wolves etc several times. It's always good to win but I honestly don't really savour these wins any more than I do beating Blues, Sunderland, Albion, Norwich, Leicester, Stoke etc. I...

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    Old fashioned opinion incoming. Been a fan since 1970. Winning trophies is what it's about. Don't care how much money the club has in the bank as I'm not their accountant. Don't get fans who talk about finances, we have no real knowledge of it and no input into how club owners spend it. We could...

    When do suspensions kick in? We have a few players amassing yellow cards. Comms said last night that was Thomas' fifth.

    The queues

    A lot of people don't get to their seats much before KO. Instead they occupy the concourse or exterior bar areas. Club should consider some pre-match entertainment to entice fans in earlier. A local band for half an hour. Competitions with winners picked out of crowd and meet/team with a...

    Preston Game moved due to FAcup

    4 at home. 11 away so far. Happy to be corrected Footnote - 2 of those 4 home games were in the 6 week summer holidays so lots of children/families were away and missed one or both.

    Maybe no more saturday 3pm until 6th april

    Check my workings but by contrast we have had 4 home games and 10 away games at 3pm Saturday so far. AFAIK Stoke away is definitely Saturday 3pm also so that will make it - 4 home, 11 away.

    George and John statue

    You see, a huge proportion of our fans are of the mature variety. Many of those will not donate any other way. If correctly advertised it would add a significant sum. But if they don't want to bother.

    George and John statue

    When is the bucket collection at a home match? It would raise shed loads if correctly advertised.

    Death List 2024

    Grew up in 1960s Wales. Barry John - a true Prince of Wales. As revered as any sportsman has ever been. And don't forget he was an amateur.

    Football authorities are watching you

    She was interviewed under caution by police after the dossier was handed to officers by Newcastle United. Officers took just two hours to inform her that she had not committed any crime, but the club, which had spent four months looking into her background, revoked her membership and banned her...

    Reflections on the January Window

    We fell short last season as we "ran out of squad" at Wembley. I will be surprised if we are not in for the same. Still, there's always next season, which I've heard from so many City fans since, mmmmm, about 1974.
