    Leaving for Yeovil

    Myself and three mates are stopping down overnight in Yeovil and out on the town. Any recommendations on places to go would be really gratefully received.

    Arrogant or Confident

    I'm just hopeful, albeit with perhaps more confidence than in recent memory (due to plying our trade in a lower division and having made some new signings to create a - numerically, at least - 'stronger squad'). Don't know enough about our new lads or the other teams to say whether this hope is...

    Chinaman

    I think it is easy to accuse Hoffman of revelling in the attention if you don't know him. He watches us play games with his Dad and young son. He goes with his friends and contacts. It is apparent that he is there because you have seen him in the paper. At one away game, he was accused of...

    starting line up tonight

    I don't like how Murphy is completely out of his area, we could be in real trouble.

    Dagenham & Redbridge: build up thread

    Or a fairly inncuous phrase, the likes of which Thorn is not alone as a football manager in trotting out as part of a larger interview. Could he have said 'this is a match we really should be winning' instead? Yes, probably. Does what he say (particularly qualified by the phrase which follows...

    Bad language at City games

    Swearing is a useful adjective, particularly when passions are high. If you disapprove or feel it is used to excess (which is obviously sometimes the case) and are by yourself or with mates, move along. Live and let live. If you are with children, ask the person concerned if he wouldn't mind...

    Player you really hope has a great year?

    I think Jennings and Fleck have real fans' favourite potential, but - the question being 'who do you hope has a great season' - the answer must be the man who we have not yet seen much of, but is our striker. We need some goals and have few strikers who romp through double figures. Arise, Sir...

    Your best and worst away games?

    I knew I would be better informed after reading other people's responses. I concur that beating Villa at their place twice in one season was pretty special and Tottenham away to stay up was a different level (despite bricking it for much of the match day experience).

    Your best and worst away games?

    I will come back to you on the best, but losing to Sheffield United in the cup sticks in my mind as quite possibly the worst. * EDIT - perhaps Man U away in the cup as the best (am I allowed two cup fixtures)? My memory isn't the best, they were the two I found in the not too distant recesses...

    Christie back in training

    What, better than Nilsson? Borrows? I can't believe you think he is City's "best ever player".

    Christie back in training

    No, he was centre midfield for Woodlands. Played centre of defence for Coventry's academy. My mate bangs on about how he converted him to RB at Woodlands and the academy followed suit whenever anyone mentions his name in his presence (and I am duty bound to regurgitate it on here every so often)!

    Christie back in training

    The option of Clarke or Christie at right back - I would guess - is a huge positive in League 1. Both on form, I would start with Clarke. However, in a long and attritional season, I am sure both will get game time at right back (not sure I see either filling in anywhere else - perhaps Clarke at...

    Pick your best two!

    The best scenario, in my opinion, is to be promoted through the Play Offs (day out at Wembley, excitement right to the very end). This would probably eclipse (in hindsight) options 1 and 2 - although that is debatable as regards going up as Champions, particularly if we were to storm the League...

    Cyrille or Dion?

    Yeah, this is my dilemma. Born in '81, so would be basing my opinion on Big Cyrille on rewatching the FA Cup Final and knowing his reputation, as opposed to having a season ticket throughout Dublin's City career.

    Jimmy Bullard

    I think there would be more questions than answers about taking Bullard on at four grand a week, let alone whatever ridiculous level of money he would want.

    CET: Dublin sad to see city in L1

    I am not going to get hung up about whether he qualifies as 'City legend', but I will happily admit time softens earlier discontentment. I think I was one of the shallow few who looked back on the situation as being a particular annoyance as he went to the Villa. The way the move panned out...

    25/08/2012 - Coventry City v Bury

    I wouldn't imagine a taxi would be much and it means you don't have to dick around. Get up there and have a pint in the casino before the game instead.

    Why the hold up...

    I think we are too used to the negative at the City. Took him on trial and he got a knock. Recuperated with his family down in England, we made it known that we were still interested. We played Accy and it was close enough for him to come and watch us, sitting alongside former teammate, Elliott...
