Damned if you do, damned if you don't......

No matter what offer the club put out somebody will criticize. Surely we can understand that there has to be some commercial benefit in whatever deal any business puts out? I recognize that something is happening at the club in attempting to entice and encourage support and these are not even...

Well this will satisfy the NOPM kids club! Game changer!!!

I am not going to MK and I envy those with tickets and like the Wembley final it shows there is a giant lurking in the shit we find ourselves in. The club have sold 8000 tickets. That is their remit and they have succeeded and I hope more tickets are available in due course for the fans who...

It's 2.10am in the dessert and here I am thinking of a girl from Bell Green!!! I knew her mum,Christonabike. It was like Russian Roulette at times!

The song tainted love?

Yes agree that Sillett's popularity was starting to wane, especially after Sutton and Northampton debacles but it must be said that we went third the week after Sutton defeat by beating Norwich on their ground and by the beginning of March we were third the table after beating Arsenal albeit...

Great question, in the days before goalkeeper substitutes I can't remember us using an outfield player in goal but we surely must have. I can remember young goalie Steve Murcott ending up in goal in 1979 having played in a reserve game earlier that day and is winning 2-0 v Norwich.

NW brings up a point here which was a burning sore for me in the early nineties. When Sillett was removed it was done without any class for someone who had given such great service to the club and deserved better. The squad were used to Sillett and perhaps the board felt a new voice and...

Now about righteousness......Cyrille Regis died on Sunday night, it was announced yesterday that he had passed. I believe that rather than discuss the relative merits of Cyrille and Dion at this time we should have had at least a day to express our condolences and celebrate his great service to...

I take your point as it is a bumped thread. I just believe that today is about paying our respects to one of our family who has passed, not to be comparing the merits of his comparative ability against Dion.

I have to say that I find this thread a little distasteful on this day of all days.

Is that a terrace or a pavement?

A great memory, my favorite goal was the winner in the 4-3 against Spurs in injury time at the end of 86. He was the focal point in our great sides during that period and, thanks to Sillet and Curtis who played to his strengths, he found his mojo again and was recalled by England. Cyrille was...

Devastated, I know he is a West Brom man first but he will be forever a Sky Blue legend. RIP big Cyrille and thank you so much.

Maybe you are right, I am not going to get in to a discussion on my gay credentials as it serves no purpose. Needless to say I believe nobody is particularly bothered about somebody's sexuality in this day and age and it's just another barrier to break like the 4 minute mile. Well that's my...

To be a pioneer for something positive, brave and bold will mean their name would be etched in history. Of course I have an idea why they might be reluctant to do it but ask yourself this question': do you think that the first gay footballer would be famous or infamous? I believe they would be...

Whilst we were discussing fans groups it was a relatively easy conversation to join in. Players seems to be a tougher ask and I am not sure why it is so difficult? the sexual orientation of anyone is of no concern to anyone other than the person involved and the decision to expose themselves...

Do you notice a south west geographical coincidence occurring there?

Strachan wasnt manager for the friendly. Point your finger elsewhere rupert_beat!
