..... because I don't support Villa, or laud their achievements! I suspect a few of you haven't spent much time around Villa fans giving it the 'Billy Big Bollocks'. Belittling their achievement is a constant source of enjoyment - I find it kind of sad that other City fans view things differently.

Sorry, but the year they were European champions they were only the 11th best team in England, and finished only a few points above us.I can't think of a weaker team to have won that trophy in my time watching football.

They won the European Cup, not the Champions League. Even then they rode their luck and were very fortunate to win.

Strange how we can see the same game or player and view things so differently. While he might not have been John Williams fast, I don't remember Grimmer being particularly slow either.

When did Villa win the Champions League?

I also find him comical on the whole, although I do find his regular referrals to the 'as it stands' tables quite annoying.

I fully expect Robins to play Shipley on Saturday, possibly reverting to one up front given Shipley had just about his best game last season at Wycombe in that formation. Wycombe's defenders are more comfortable against conventional forwards like Biamou, but are more easily dragged out of...

Carl Baker had, and still has his share of 'haters' just as Biamou has. I was lucky enough to meet Baker and he came across as a genuinely nice guy, with a proper affection for our club, and who having played non league had a proper appreciation of his good fortune in making it as a pro. For...

Shipley is not shit. However, he is plainly struggling this season and playing like his confidence is shot - which wouldn't be wholly surprising if he did read comments on here by the 'supporters' of his own team. Unfortunately his weaknesses in respects of stamina and tackling which have...

I presume Rotherham are still a team of 6ft + players. If so I would go 2 up front with Biamou and Walker and play 3 at the back so something like: Wilson Ostigaard McFadzean Hyam Dabo Sheaf Hamer Kelly McCallum Walker Biamou Having the likes of O'Hare, Giles and Jobello to come on against...

Take a look at the highlights uploaded on another thread here. Needs to be freeze framed for clarity but it doesn't look a definite offside to me, even though Walker's body language suggested he thought he was offside.

Would be nice to get the first goal a bit more often, but a definite positive carried over from last season is the self belief in the team that we are still in the game when we do go behind.

I trust Robins' judgement. If he thinks he's not good enough then that's fine by me.

This is a pointless thread. There is not a chance in hell that MR will be sacked. Not only that, but what would we do with the flag with MR wearing the burger king crown?

It is common sense for both CCFC and Wasps to have us playing at the Ricoh again, but common sense has played little part in the circumstances that have brought us here. I think we all hope that SISU have some cunning masterplan, whereby staying at St Andrews while games are BCD puts Wasps in a...

Pickering played instead of Darby so even more defensive!! I've got a great reference book from our days in the top division by Jim Brown, detailing the teams that played (for and against) and a brief review of the match. This one read ''An excellent City performance, lacking only in goals. A...

Not only survived that season but were comfortable mid table if I remember right. That season Atherton and Babb were as good a centre back combination the club has had, while Ndlovu was at his peak. Besides that though given Oggy & Borrows were at the veteran stage, the rest of that team was not...

True, but please God we never have another Peter Ramage, Darius Henderson/ Stephen Hunt transfer window!
