    Where were you in 1987 ?

    With my grandparents in Abbey Street, Rugby. My grandad had been waiting to see the City win something for a very long time. I was 11 and in a bad mood about something, for whatever reason, so couldn't fully enjoy the game. That's my regret. I'd been to the 3rd round game against Bolton and...

    Next season to be a week longer

    I just read this story as headline news on the club website and have been cracking up quietly to myself since. It's just such underwhelmingly nondescript news, like a headline from The Onion or some such satirical publication

    Hussey and Malaga

    And while I'm on, Malaga is a place in Spain, right? Slightly odd name for a Frenchman.

    Hussey and Malaga

    Hussey's name makes me smile still. He's a wanton woman, simple as that

    Walsall Match Thread

    Come on Sky Blues! It's nearly as good in front of the computer in Lille as in the Ricoh well... maybe not ;) You are my City, my only City

    COLCHESTER MATCH THREAD - let's go

    What's wrong with me French, like? Pleased you liked Lille. Not a bad place. Beer is pricey out but often pretty strong in the Belgian style.

    Leyton Orient Match Thread

    Thought it was a poor game and it says something that we beat Orient 'only' 1-0. They missed two proper chances (Cox skewing a shot right up in the air and Mooney screwing it over after Murphy's brilliant save). Very little purposeful movement or creativity from us. Moussa looked really...

    Never thought I would do it

    I get to only 2 or 3 games a season because I live abroad. I don't like the Ricoh Arena at all and it just makes me nostalgic for when we had a proper ground. Still, every Cov game has been magical to me since the age of 10 (until about the 9th minute anyway nowadays, when the realisation...

    Brentford Match Thread

    No sleep for me again tonight. Admittedly just watching the scores come through on the computer in Lille, but I can't imagine being any angrier, any more disappointed. Maybe I will be next season when we lose to the League 2 sides every week as well. Any sign of the new manager effect...

    James Bailey

    Nothing wrong with Seth Johnson's answer but after all that build up I was expecting something more... Fireworks, explosions and stuff I guess. I wonder how Horacio Carbonari is dong there these days?

    We've got four and we want some more... not sure I've ever sung that before but I am now, admittedly sitting in my front room in France though

    RIP Turo City

    Do you mean Truro? I feel very sorry for them. Wonder why Chelsea can't slip them a few thousand?

    How big a club are we?

    More fans than Derby or Forest?? You really must be talking 'historically' for that to be the case. If only it were true.

    This strange feeling

    Me too. The win keeps coming back to mind and making me happy. CCFC have been subtly (and sometimes openly) spoiling my life for ages, but one win, and those idle moments of distraction become balmy and pleasant. Wonder if it'll last.
