    Mimicking the 'Hitler Youth'. As the Reading Youf have been around for decades, some of the original members will undoubtedly be pushing it now.

    There was a close link some years ago between Chelsea's hard core ultras, the Headhunters, and the Reading Youth (Youf) squad. I'd imagine the link between the two still exists

    Coventry City Transfer Disappointments

    The club didnt make anything out of the Keane deal. The profit was around 7 million but that ended up in the pocket of the individual who loaned us the original 6 mill purchase money.

    George Curtis

    Such a sad day. Like many others on here, the image of George and John Sillett running up to the City supporters at Wembley, holding the FA cup aloft, is one of the happiest memories of my life. When he did his leg at Forest ('thanks' to Frank Wignall) I can recall the press having headlines of...

    When is O'Hare being snapped up?

    I presume the TM stands for Twatty Moron ?

    R.I.P

    There was a similar type bouncer at the Hinckley Knight on the A5. Think his name was Albert (but I could be wrong) He always gave you one chance and if you were stupid enough to not heed it, you were 100% heading for an early sleep. RIP Paul Mariner. A terrific forward in a class team at the time.

    Sticking my pendants head on, Terry Gibson didnt score 4 goals against Liverpool. It was a hat trick for sure but Nicky Platnaur got the other one with an odd diving header when it would have been easier to tap the ball into the net with his foot. Happy days !

    That was worth waiting for.

    A good lesson in to how to convert a good winger into a terrific midfield player. One of my favourite all time city players

    Happy St George’s day to you all

    I put a post on Nextdoor saying Happy St George's Day and then complained about the site not putting anything up themselves. Last month, on St Patrick's Day, they bombarded everybody with green and white pages of stuff. I recognise its trendy to celebrate Irelands patron saint but what about our...

    Sky sports football red button

    My picture was fine on the red button. Lack of replays is a tad frustrating but I can live with that.

    European breakaway league

    The sort of money being offered, it's quite possible for teams to have entirely different squads for ESL and domestic league games if that manages to circumvent any sanctions imposed by the countries football associations.
