He was alright but another one of those players that seemed better against us than for us (not as extreme as Michael McIndoe though). The name comes from something i overheard on the old West Terrace that just stuck with me, there wasn't much razzle and dazzle going on with him that day!

There's plenty of hot air left in old Fishface yet I reckon. The 'Plan A' statement could just be a way of setting up the excuse that they wanted to stay there all along but the nasty landlords won't let them. It reminds me of his statement that the ground share at The Butts was 'on in terms of...

I really hope we can hang onto him for another season or so, that's dependent on achieving promotion if he continues to develop though I suspect. I thought the stat of 44 academy debuts over the decade was impressive, we could have a pretty decent (if rather unbalanced) graduate 11 right now...

I haven't played since about Monday night now as i got in a bit of a hissy-fit following several heavy defeats. For whatever reason i can't get them to keep the goals out despite playing the same formation we got to 9th with. S**t game anyway.....i'll start again this evening most likely.....

I imagine the attraction of a big new development in a run-down/brownfield area of the city probably meant expanding a stadium in a residential area would be less likely. My extensive research in CM97/98 has undoubtedly proven that we would regularly fill the expanded HR though!

I finished 9th in the first season and Dublin was probably key to that (probably thanks to a small boost i gave him in the editor). I did edit Boateng too but he's still not performing as well as i think he did irl. McAllister did ok but i sold him to Wilmledon at the end of the season, Dublin...

I decided to fire up Championship Manager 97/98 the other day and start a new game with City. Having finished 9th (Dion Dublin banging them in, Oggy and Magnus keeping them out....mostly) the board decided to expand HR to about 30,000 seats. This got me thinking about how 'realistic' that would...

I remember one called Lets All Sing Togther that was good. They had a Hall of Fame/Shame area and a link to match reports via something called the 'pornolizer' that were always pretty entertaining.

We might just find ourselves at Nuneaton next season if the JR keeps rumbling on!

I use Hargreaves Lansdown to invest in funds and know its possible to buy shares via them. Whilst its free to inveat in funds i do believe they charge to buy individuaal shares. All that information is available on their website though.

After saturday i'd be more tempted to send Abu!

This would be a bizarre signing given the players we already have, maybe it's a ruse to get KJ to release Chaplin while he can!

At the very least we must be shelling out on wages for all these signings. Given that nearly all transfers seem to be undisclosed these days it's very difficult to accurately monitor though.

So is this guy going to be back up for Gary Goals?

If Bayliss plays centrally i do wonder where Andreu will shift to (or what formation would then be required to have both in play). It's certainly good to have these problems instead of looking at certain positions thinking there's literally nobody who can play there.

I think there are more positives frm the window than negatives, obviously bringing in a goalscorer would further that though. I recall McNulty getting quite a bit of stick at Chesterfield early last season but hopefully there's a bit more patience shown this time around. I also think Andreu...

It will never end. Joy and Tim have been biologically engineered to feed off sky blue tears and intend to live forever.

I can't figure out what we're likely to play next season, formation or personnel. If we stick with Andreu behind a-n-other then we seem to either have to play JCH or Max or risk not having any physicality up that end of the field. We do seem to have lots of options which is good, we certainly...

If this drags on without a permanent signing and we start to look at loans does anyone know who's likely to be available? Obviously another Armstrong would be the hope rather than a Zavon Hines, Alex Nimely etc. I'd have thought somene like Ivan Toney from NUFC might be looking for football but...

What better way to mark my first post than with recollections of CCFC's worst! From memory and rating them in terms of the level we were at when they played i'd have to include; Fabien 'le Chat' Debec, Michael McIndoe and a decidedly past-it Dean Holdsworth. I'm sure there's been even worse but...
