I think if we were 3-0 up with ten minutes to go, you might see one of the youngsters on. Trouble is doesn't happen very often

Or it may be we have to wait and see if he comes back as good or if he breaks down again like Jodi Jones. Would be foolish to commit too early or leave it too late. A crucial balancing act

We use them in the cups and that usually goes well

Pep Guardiola said it often takes at least a year for a player to adjust to a new country. An ex Chelsea manager, (they change so often) said 15 months.

MR and his management team are the most successful we have had in years, and possibly the most successful ever over a period of time. There are so many football geniuses on here who know better than them. Posters have been complaining about their substitutions every time we don't win a game...

Bristol had injuries and illness but we could not exploit that. Daylight robbery. Fadz error 1-0 to them. However there was a nudge on Fadz before the goal. Ref shit again especially missing that and when Simms was pushed in the area. Possibly a pen. Our defending straight ahead crosses is...

Thompson, another one who said he should not have moved to Coventry. So many players said that, you wonder what the atmosphere was like at the club. The American guy who wrote the book, Saying Up said the year we were relegated on national Radio, that he thought we would go down, as Strachan was...

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...
