    I was there when.....

    I was in the Kop for that game too ! First time I'd seen multiple beers thrown in the air when Gibbo scored our 3rd, just before half time 😁

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    Think Reading was the next fixture after QPR and it kicked off then as well. Some of ours and some of the Reading Youth decided to lock horns outside the stadium while the game was still on. I can remember all those in the top row were staring through the glass and not paying the slightest...

    Sunny day at Wigan

    Yes. I can fully understand the confusion between Wigan and Rooney. Done it myself many a time...

    Best 45 of the season

    If it was better than the 2nd half against Fulham then it must habeen one helluva performance !

    Excellent praise from Brian deane

    Fair play to Brian Deane for giving us such a glowing report. For those who dont remember him, he was the scorer of the very first Premier league goal 30 years ago.

    Place your bets (Ricoh pitch)

    Is everybody forgetting that artificial pitches are outlawed in the EFL and, presumably, the Premier league ? Harrogate (or was it Barrow ?) had to relay their pitch to grass on promotion from the National league. May have been the same for Sutton United this season.

    RIP Shane Warne

    Who can ever forget that very 1st ball of his in England that bowled Mike Gatting. Sensational delivery that turned about 45° !

    RIP Shane Warne

    There are legends in sport and then there was Shane Warne. One of the very best of all time. RIP Warney. You'll be very much missed both in Oz and in the UK.

    Now this IS what I call unlucky

    Sky Sports is so much better without Richard Keys and Andy Gray

    Dear Boris

    If what Johnson has done so far is, according to you, a good job, I dread to think what you would describe as a 'bad' job... The lying Pilsbury Doughboy must be wanking furiously at the chance to make Churchillian speeches to the world over the Ukrainian crisis. Anything he says wont make a...

    Forum for City fans that live away from Cov

    Born in Cov then moved to Hinckley around 1982. For family reasons, I moved to Norwich a week before the cup final in '87. Still came back to take part in the pre and post match celebrations. Not that blessed with money these days but go to the CBS every so often. My son was born in the Norfolk...

    The Thierry Katsukunya transfer fee to Villa

    Shades of Robert Jarni, us and Real Madrid doing a deal under the table.

    Martin Tyler

    Tyler commentated on our FA cup semi final against Leeds in 1987. Was clearly biased towards Leeds as that was his club. Sounded very downbeat when Michael Gynn equalised for us then exploded with pride when Edwards scored for them...Quote, 'a great game has become wonderful'..... Never liked...

    Every ground...

    One chant that has always been on my hate list is, for example, singing to Ipswich fans, 'small town in Norwich, you're just a small town in Norwich' Utterly thick.... It doesnt take too many brain cells to sing 'Norfolk' rather than Norwich

    Time to go Robins

    How did you manage to avoid Nick's cull on utter wum pricks this last week ?

    City's top 5 earners

    If those figures are even remotely near factual, we have no chance of keeping our players if a bigger club comes in and offers the sort of money that will increase their wages by 4 or 5 times.

    What a night .

    I was at the replay at HR. Just about the only thing I can clearly remember was Jimmy Case scoring an absolute thunderbolt of a shot that no goalkeeper on the planet would have saved.
