I suspect that there are very few Man City fans who prefer the City that was to the City that is. Ultimately, if the Sky Blues win I'm happy and if they don't I'm not. Thoughts of ownership and investment wouldn't cloud that feeling.

I think the FA had second thoughts about this rule after witnessing the amount of abuse players got as they trudged round the pitch and the potential for crowd trouble that brought with it. Referees now tend to cover this aspect in their briefing to the teams beforehand, but exiting to the...

All together now...... Amadou Bakayoko He scores when he likes It's just that he only likes Every so often Every so often Every so often It's just that he only likes Every so often (repeat)

It's now clear to me that A P-B (Artificial Poster-Bot) is an advanced piece of AI which, having consumed the entirety of this forum, has been tasked with generating posts that will irritate the maximum number of members. I understand that it will replace an earlier prototype, released some...

I don't know whether this has been discussed before, but which, if any, of our younger players will make their mark this season? Eccles looks a fair bet but what of Drysdale, Tavares, Bapaga, Reid, Burroughs, Rowe, Howley, Ngandu, Nee, Dinanga, Rus and others? It wouldn't be unreasonable to...

I have to admire the optimism in this post. Be aware that those 11 penalties cost us 8 points and 12 more goals, following the same pattern, would yield another 8 points. So, taken together, the extra 16 points would have taken us to 71 points, 6 points off the play-offs. Just underlines the...

Am I alone in being astonished and disappointed that one in five of our fans would sooner that England won one match than that we had the season of our lives, and potentially secured our future? WTF.

Yes. We started with a 10-point deduction and would have finished 9th otherwise, still 13 points outside the play-offs. Only 3 teams scored more goals than us.

If I'm allowed to include Cup goals then in 2013/14 - Wilson 22, Clarke 18, Moussa 14, Baker 10 (21, 15, 12, 7 otherwise). In all we scored 84 goals (74 in League 1) yet finished 18th. Remarkable.

As President of the SPWH (Society for the Protection of 'Wouldn't Have') I have to object to this early sighting of a 'wouldn't of'. How about every subsequent sighting requires £5 to be contributed to the Season Ticket Fund?

Since you asked, Ollie Turton [Blackpool - Huddersfield] Free Charlie Austin [West Brom - QPR] Free Reece Burke [Hull - Luton] Free

17th, 11th, 15th, 14th & 19th - our best years? The only remarkable thing that Strachan did as manager was to name himself as a sub so that he could run up and down the entire touchline 'just warming up'.

Yes, let's not forget that Strachan achieved what 10 previous managers had failed to do - he got us relegated.

Agreed, but it was the one and only time that we had the Football League's top scorer

Quite so. His 49 goals in the 1931-32 season is exactly how many the entire team scored this season.

Interesting to see just how many of them have played for us at one time of another. Anyone brave enough to attempt this?

Yes, it's Gyokeres, Shipley, O'Hare, Hyam, James and Og where, using some fancy footwork, Og is either Osti gard or Own goal.

A few statistics at the end of a very satisfactory season In only 5 of our games was the difference between the two teams greater than 2 goals (1 win, 4 defeats) The only draws we had were 0-0 (7) and 1-1 (6) We took 10 out of 36 points off the top 6 and 13 out of 18 off the bottom 3 After a...

Of the 9 possible outcomes, Derby get relegated 4 times, Rotherham and Sheff Wed get relegated 7 times each. My feeling is that Rotherham will lose and Derby and Sheff Wed will draw, so Derby will survive. How many times were we doing this type of calculation during our time in the top tier?
