    The Penalty

    Had to read that one a few times Wingy :) I think my answer is No.

    Ex Player Watch

    Roger van Gool and Rudi Kaiser – both signed from the continent as direct wingers who would set the First Division on fire. As I recall, Roger was underwhelming, and Ruud was exciting for a short while before getting injured and leaving. Late 70s / early 80s - it was much harder in those days...

    Derby points deduction

    You mean Derby County FC might turn out to be just a non-trading property subsidiary? I guess their fans may soon have the pleasure of going on a treasure hunt for the Golden Share. Almost makes me feel nostalgic for those days.

    RIP Jimmy Greaves

    Simply the best goalscorer I have ever seen, and so entertaining alongside Saint on the TV. RIP Jimmy.

    Yeah, got to be a Swedish song and ABBA's SOS is good - So when you're near me, Viktor can't you hear me, Gyökeres The goals you gave me, nothing else can save me, Gyökeres Note to creative types who might want to emphasise Vik's feminine side - he also rhymes with conqueress, sorceress and...

    Player ratings v Cardiff

    Harry Kane waits for real contact and goes down like a sack of spuds. I hate it but at least it works. Todd Kane looked around for the opposing player, slowed up hoping for a shove, and theatrically threw himself to the floor. Problem was that their player only brushed him with his fingers, as...

    Player ratings v Cardiff

    Kane wasn't fouled, it happened right in front of us and was a pathetic attempt to con the ref. He made a right tit of himself, could have cost us a goal and got sent off with a second yellow for simulation. Moore 8 – a big upgrade on the keepers we've had over the last few years, spreads calm...

    Humble pie

    To be more exact, you said "He looks utterly hopeless to me. Too slow both physically and mentally, and clumsy to boot." :) Fair enough though for acknowledging how well he's playing now. But you weren't alone and there might not be enough pie to go around. Here's a few more quotes about...

    Jake Clarke-Salter

    Yeah that boiler and radiator analogy was all wrong. To me, it’s more like turning up the thermostat using the dial in the kitchen, only to find that the window in the back bedroom has been left open and the lagging on the pipes in the outside bog has come away, causing condensation and some...

    George Curtis

    Only just heard this sad news. George was one of a kind, and the absolute foundation of City's rise to the top flight in the 60s. To then go on and play such a magnificent part in the 1987 cup win makes him arguably the single greatest figure in the club's history. RIP Iron Man.

    Gyökeres

    Wow, the mood swings around here can be pretty spectacular. The most useless striker in the world is suddenly “Gyo” or “Viktor” :D The guy always looked useful, just short of match fitness and game time. Clumsy at times but clearly has ability, brings fantastic work rate and physicality, and...

    Today’s games

    Ah that late penalty miss. Listened to it on the radio – it bounced down off the bar onto the line I think, and the commentator changed his mind about three times whether it was a goal or not! Nobody did relegation escapes like the Sky Blues in those days.

    Nah, the interviewer just asked him what word he would use to describe the ref.

    I hope he makes some people eat their words. He has it in him IMO, although he's clearly not the new Alan Shearer.
