    Lampard to West Ham

    They probably got the wrong end of the stick. West Ham fans hate him and it would be a 360 degree turnaround for them to suddenly want him back. If you've been posting on here for any length of time you will know that football fans changing their opinions once made is very rare.

    Sky Blues Quiz

    That's helped pass half an hour :) Some educated guesses but here goes: Q1. Name 5 players who have played for City and scored at a FIFA World Cup finals - Moldovan/ Hadji/ Strachan/ McAllister/ Keane Q2. Name the cup semi finals City competed in during the 1980s - 81 League Cup/ 87 FA Cup/ 88...

    1 word to describe

    It probably depends how old you are. We were in the top flight in the first 28 years of my supporting the club so Villa were generally viewed by our fans as our closest rivals. This was partly exacerbated by our failure to beat them for so long and losing important players to them (Mortimer/...

    Lampard to West Ham

    He would be nuts going there, given the mutual hatred between him and their fans these last 20 years. They would crucify him the moment they hit a bad spell, and their board would end up sacking him as a result.

    Were are we now?

    In time maybe, but I will be surprised if he is put straight in ahead of them.

    I remember problems in the early days when their customer service was poor. Sorry you've had so many problems with it, and of course your complaints about being blocked in such circumstances are not OTT. You've plainly lost patience but I can't help thinking there is probably a simple solution...

    Feel like I'm the exception. I don't seem to have any problems these days. Saying it is worse than ever seems a bit OTT when thinking back to those early days of a single camera, no replays or commentary etc. I imagine most of the problems mentioned are connected to your choice of browser or...

    Birmingham Tickets

    Completely wrong. They were predicted to bring 1,500 when there was talk of a boycott, but then they went on a winning run and bought about 4,500 come the game. https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/west-bromwich-albion/2022/12/21/coventry-v-west-brom---match-preview/

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    You dislike Eccles so much! He gets a mention in almost every negative post you make about the team or squad :ROFLMAO:

    Birmingham Tickets

    We had this with West Brom a couple of years ago with talks of a boycott, but they then had a run of form before playing us and sold their tickets. The same will apply this time. If they are in form and feeling positive they will sell out regardless, but if not they will make a big fuss about...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    You might be right I don't know, but I would have Sakamoto in the team ahead of BTA for the Norwich game.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    There will be a major overhaul next Summer regardless of the outcome this season. I don't see MVE, Rudoni and Haji staying unless we are promoted, which would leave lots of work to bring in suitable replacements. If we do go up however we would probably have to spend like Sunderland have done to...

    Watch it back. Oggy picked up on it immediately!

    Look after Woolfy

    Yes to be fa Yes, also if Wright had scored that chance at the end of the game and we had won no doubt the criticism levels would be lower.

    Nominations for Earlsdon's new voodoo doll

    I think Grendel's views on Biamou would have run him close.

    Look after Woolfy

    It was naive of Rushworth not to keep his eye on the ball. However, the gap for Brannagan was already there before he moved the ball, the wall was simply set up badly. It wasn't only me that saw this at the time as Oggy was screaming about this even before Brannagan moved the ball, commenting...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    Odds are that you are right, particularly if FL remains manager. Things change quickly in football however, and should he bang in the goals, particularly given his age, his value will increase even given the league he is playing in, and in which case if we still don't want him he would command...

    Look after Woolfy

    It wasn't. Brannagan had already spied the opportunity and made it even better by moving the ball. The shot went in about a yard from the goal post which was more than the ball was moved so he would have likely scored the way the wall was set up even without moving the ball. Oggy had spotted it...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    We will have boobed if the loan deal is with an option to buy, as the only way they buy him will be if his loan is a success, in which case his value increases and we don't get to benefit from his improvement. On the flip side we only get him back if his loan fails and his value incrementally...
