Bit like us Bristol, you never know which team will show up. Don't want a repeat of Cardiff and need to keep it tight at the back. Was tempted to say early doors (what is wrong with me?). They seem to think they will win easily, although their record recently has not been great. Need to get our...

Another example of trashing decisions in favour of the big clubs

This has got to be good news for us as we now have a relationship with the players, the international management and the agents plus possibly brownie points. Doing it for nothing shows real positive engagement and probably that he is a really good bloke.

Yes a transformative player for us. The missing link in midfield. How did we manage to lose such an important player?

My brother knew quite a few people in the club back in the day. Despite the claims from Robins and Clough in public, the story my brother heard is that Robins got cold feet as Clough wanted complete control of the club. By that, I understand Clough wanted more control than Robins was prepared to...

Clive used to be useless. I used to shit myself every time the opposition had the ball in our half as I thought they were sure to score. Getting teams wrong all the time was awful but has now become a part of his charm, especially as he has infected Oggy with the same problem. I was greatly...

Bidwell was more or less a guaranteed starter for us last season in our most successful season for years. Thought he started slowly when he arrived but grew into the role, as he is more a full back, I think. Think DaSilva is a class footballer whilst Bidwell is more an old school bruiser...

Both Kevin Keegan (European player of the year later) was deemed too small when he came on trial and Chris Waddle also rejected. My brother knew the guy who made the decisions (his name escapes me), but he was an old skool twat clearly. Rejecting the best player in a generation? How bad is that...

Lennon went to Leicester as Ron Atkinson was such a fuckwit when he spoke to him

Thought he is a RWB

Absolutely agree, he has gone backwards. For us he used to get forward and have a pile driver shot. I think this demonstrates how good coaching can improve a player and mediocre coaching can hold them back. Would have him back on a free transfer when his contract expires whatever division we are in.

There are still nobheads on here that glorify violence of the past and more recently. Going away you used to hide your colours and keep your mouth shut especially if you had won. Remember a West Ham fan stabbed and dying after a Highfield Rd match, Leeds tearing up our all-seater stadium...

Really miss football on Saturdays and midweek too during these breaks. My wife loves it when City play, as she says gives her a break, so she doesn't like them either. Used to love England and the Home Countries games but have lost interest. May be my imagination, but do we get more injuries...

Never trust Directors who do not have a clue. When Eustace took over Brum they were nailed on relegation candidates. Turned them around and they are doing really well at the moment. Unsure how well or badly Rooney did in the USA, but get the overall feeling he is a mediocre manager from his...

Absolutely get it. However, lost count of the times yesterday we took an extra touch and were blocked. Didn't shout shoot though, as they never listen.

Usually the players coming on are not as good as the ones going off. Just fresh legs. Yesterday the players who came on were usually in our first choice team. They had been rested due to 3 games in a week. You would expect them to make a difference and they did.

Like for like matches against the same teams (assuming Burnley = Leicester) we are 3 points down on last year. Played a lot of away matches early on last year. Still think we are a job in progress and missing the injured players.

We never beat Norwich lately so not too disappointed. That said, they have been dreadful away from home which should put the result into context. Thought we started poorly and got lucky with their attacks down our right which flashed across the goal. Cock up for their goal. Was it Eccles that...

Godden fan here. With three games in a week, if Godden is not rested then MR clearly feels the other two together are not up for it together. Fingers crossed we can avoid defeat against Norwich as they always seem to mug us. No Pukki who always scored against us. Whenever I see Norwich, I am so...

Played off the park but won. Kelly was getting near them and putting the boot in before his injury caused by having to race back. Ayo looked like a young kid when he came on and we were swamped in midfield. He did produce one touch of sheer class that gave us the win. Will be a top player...
