Agree, on the top of their game, the best players we have had in their respective positions. Feel West Brom had the best of Regis before he went off the rails and Blackburn the best of Gallacher. Fortunately for us, Regis regained form after he cut out the night clubbing but sadly was never...

Yes I do. Before then used to pop in for an Irish Coffee as a last drink. Can't seem to get them anymore where you drank the coffee and spirit through the cream

The only concern I have is that Frasers play hardball in their negotiations. I read they have not paid money to suppliers when JD Sports was taken over and they hold out for reduced council tax on other retail outlets. Don't think they will do us any favours

Keegan was rejected for being too small after a trial. Think we also rejected Waddle

Really tough match this one. They are one of the form teams at the moment beat Sunderland away 5-1 and got a draw at Middlesborough. We will really have to be on top of our game to win this especially if our internationals come back knackered. Unsure how many players they had away on...

Absolutely. Saw Mickey Gynn a few years back delivering letters and Ernie Hunt window cleaning. Perhaps Ernie's alleged match fixing wasn't that good. Really unfair how little they got out of the game. Mediocre talents now become multi-millionaires.

My locals were the Albany and the Cottage in Earlsdon. Albany never recovered its former glory, the Cottage destroyed especially closing the garden

Bit out of step with the times changing the name from The Shepherd and Shepherdess to the Old Shepherd. That's brewery's for you

George Hudson was incredibly skillfull but only really played in the top division with Northampton. Too slow for the top division and whist he scored the best ever goal for the City, I fear his ability to cut it at the top level is overrated. Ndlovu was class but was poorly treated by Atkinson...

Is half of it shit coloured?

Remember the Head of our Academy upgraded (ho ho) to Wigan. He was good. Is he still there?

Think we really lack invention from corners. Maybe we are worried will get caught on the counter which used to happen a lot more. Hence, a conservative approach. Last time we scored a different corner was Shippers, I think

Deeney flattened Gus deliberately off the ball at Brum. Nothing given at the time or retrospectively

Two things radically improved football. Three points for a win and banning goalies picking up back passes. That 1-0 to the Arsenal shit with them passing back to the goalie for half the match used to do my head in.

Think they will throw the kitchen sink at us in the opening 20 mins. Need to win the midfield, so would play Hamer, Sheaf and Eccles and quieten their crowd. Need to try and not give away too many corners or free kicks around our area. We never seem to do well up there but we are better than QPR

The table rarely lies. They are where they are on merit. If Vik stays, (unlikely) a battering ram partner up top would help against some of the more aggressive teams in the Championship. We appear to be one year behind Luton in our progress. Lets hope so. I gather we were after Cresswell this...

I think Howley and Burroughs are going to be good players for us over the next few seasons if they stay injury free. They are both big and mobile with good football skills. Thought today they both made one crucial mistake each, which is what you get from young players. Howley's interception...

I remember when fans used to change ends at half time to be behind the goal their team were attacking. I don't condone or do violence. I came across it first at a pre season friendly in around 1967 at Forest Green who were non-league. That same year when changing ends Blackburn fans started...

Back in the Stone Age, every team used to sing You'll Never Walk Alone with the scarves aloft swaying and Molly Malone with City, City at the end for us. My favourites were Sing When Your Fishing, You Only Sing When You're Fishing to Grimsby and the slightly un PC, Does She Take It Up The Arse...

It was a Liverpool song we nicked. The Liverpool fans used to sing that verse back to us
