Been enjoying watching the football Mavericks programme seeing those players who stood apart from the rest. Looking back over the years at some of our players who could be called mavericks I'd start with David Speedie,a firebrand but what a footballer too.Then how about madcap keeper Les Sealey...

On Planet Rock tonight they played Hey Jude by the Beatles and it brought back memories of when the West End would sing it back in the day. What record brings back memories of previous City eras ?

With no big football tournaments during the close season this summer it's withdrawal time. I can't stand Cricket and Tennis as a spectator sport as they both send me to sleep,both great to play but watching paint dry springs to mind. Love Rugby Union though but the World Cup starts during the...

A group of us at the weekend were discussing about how we've had some decent foreign players over the years,and currently we have hardly got any other than Reda Johnson and the German flop Proschwitz. I've put together my best foreign eleven from since I've been a supporter. Anymore suggestions...

If we go down on Sunday the majority of us on here will be depressed for ages no doubt. And we will lose many fans in League Two just like we have in League One with another relegation. So if the worst does happen will it have a knock on effect on this beloved site of ours with just me and Houch...

To survive on the last game of the season 10 times has to be some sort of record ? Having watched most of them no wonder my nails have been bitten down to the quick ! It showed those teams had some fighting spirit to escape the drop,but looking at this current squad have they got the balls for a...

I read the other day that sales of vinyl records are out selling C.D'S in the U.K. I've kept around a hundred vinyl L.P's but can't play them as I haven't got a record player,but to me the sound is much better than C.D's and when it was said vinyl had had it's day I thought it will be back and...

Talking over a few beers after Saturdays match with a few other City fans I said if we do go down that would be me finished as a supporter,and as I've given fifty years loyal service I don't feel I need to justify my decision.I expected to be called disloyal or a quitter but only one fan was...

Chatting in the pub at the weekend about music as we're pissed off with the football these days and it got round to favourites. So after a good think I chose my favourite ever single/album/concert as follows : Single: Itchycoo Park-Small Faces.Album: Fire and Water-Free- concert: Big...

I used to drink in the city centre pubs in the 70's/80's and there was a lot of violence around then,in fact our city was called the most violent place outside of London back then for assaults and crime etc. But it seems to be returning as we keep reading about stabbings and such like on a...

I wondered on Saturday after watching that terrible second half performance that was shambolic and with comical defending,what the ex City players were thinking ? With the likes of George Hudson,Ernie Hunt,Willie Carr,just to name three looking on I bet they thought is this some kind of joke ? I...

Listening to the 606 radio phone-in just now and nearly all the fans phoning in moaned and groaned about their teams.A QPR fan reckons his team will drop down to the Conference,an Everton supporter wants his manager out as does a Leicester follower.You had non stop whinging and a Newcastle fan...

My son came with me to the match last night his first since the Gillingham Ricoh return game. At the end I asked him what he thought of the City and the football etc ? He said bluntly :" A load of crap." So I reckon he won't be returning in a hurry then. Probably that's why the crowds are so...

On the radio just now they were discussing what was the best thing about football ? The best for me is the friendship with fellow fans,obviously winning,watching a great goal,and being a loyal fan. The worst things are plastic Premier League fans,racist fans,obscene wages,and overrated players...

Just re-read Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby and to me it has to be the best football book ever written,even if it is about his love of Arsenal.His passion for his club borders on obsessional but if you love the beautiful game you can understand where he's coming from. If anyone hasn't read it yet I...

It looks like Tony Mowbray is our new manager but a few have been saying rightly or wrongly that he's boring and dull and grey etc. But this got me thinking about a conversation a group of us had in the pub,and someone said he'd rather have a plain looking bird than a good looking one,as the...

If Mowbray does get the managers job I have to say it will be a great appointment. He does come across as a bit dour but that doesn't reflect the football his teams play,as he loves attacking football but with solid defending too.On Saturday we sat back in the second half which could have cost...

I agree that Pressley had to go but I'm a hypocrite as well as I'm forever telling other fans that managers need time.But with the average time given these days say set at around eighteen months it's no wonder so many get the sack as chairmen and fans want instant success.But look at our own...

In 2024 there sending a rocket to Mars and people have signed up to go on a one way ticket. Pity it isn't now and we could put Pressley and his SISU cronies on board at least they'd be well away and unable to come back ! Any other people you'd like to join them ?

With teams below us winning yesterday and with games to come against Sheffield United and MK Dons it looks like we could be heading down to the fourth tier of football unless something drastic happens very soon. But with SISU remaining silent we have to accept that we're stuck with them and...
