Just a quick comment on Gyo - he joined us in January and hadn't really impressed in a short loan spell at Swansea. He showed glimpses late last season but I admittedly thought we'd overpaid. Could not have been more wrong - we have a multi million pound player on our hands. A complete...

Good points on the formation. This is what I like about Robins and the coaching team - always evolving. Highly successful with God as the 1 in the dominant L1 promotion season. Adopted a more pragmatic and less possession based approach last year to ensure our step up and survival - not...

What are you doing CVD! No one ever admits that they got it wrong on SBT never mind emphatically wrong! Seriously though - kudos to you for doing so.

I see every game as a potential loss whatever our form or theirs - too many years of being a City fan!

It's a long season and he may well have the last laugh - but have to say it was a great moment to see Collins missing an open goal from 5 yards after turning us down (for the second time) over the summer. If the result of Collins turning us down was securing Gyo then that looks like very good...

I'm not worried about Kane - although admittedly yesterday's cameo was a near disaster. Recent history has shown that it's difficult for players to be match sharp in their first few appearances for the City; Gyo certainly wasn't convincing when he arrived last year, JCS was poor in his first...

I think that's fair Pete and we're basically on the same page!

I'm Dabo's biggest fan and would always have him on the team sheet - for his presence and attitude alone. He makes us a better team. But 7s are a little generous for this game - he wasn't on top form last night with his distribution - which may have led to his frustration and diving in. And...

Related to this Clarke-Salter is starting to really impress. Far better balance with a real LCB, allowing Hyam to perform at a high level in his preferred RCB position.

Myself as I've now reached 2,000 posts :D

Thanks Platty - I'm seriously flattered that you and Grendel miss me so much when I'm not around. :D Honestly having a reasonable conversation on here is getting more and more difficult - if a different opinion is offered then the usual pattern of events is that there is immediate derision...

But it's not condescending of course to lecture someone about 'in the real world' - right or wrong?

In the real world son, your opening paragraph is a complete contradiction.

Grendel beyond doubt as he has proven consistently season after season - not because he doesn't support the team but because it's more important for him to be shown to be right on here. Not intending to name others as there's already too much division on here but will call out nonsense and...

Please step away from the keyboard and obviously seek immediate psychiatric help. Writing as a concerned member of the public.

I think that's a fair point in terms of balance - maybe in later episodes there will be a reflection on some of the negatives. But there have certainly been positives in terms of profile and the quality of players who now play at Prem level in this country.

Not going to engage with you any more as it's a waste of time - most people see you for what you are at this time.

There were some really good moments in the first episode. Cantona's look to the camera as he heard Fergie speak about him in glowing terms was great. As was the background to Cantona joining United and agreement on the price - again Martin Edwards knowing look to the camera as they replayed the...

I'll never understand why anyone would want one of our players to fail - or be so obviously happy when they think it's about to happen. It's disappointing to see so much energy by some invested in the need to see others fail. On the other hand Bright's clearly not off to the best of starts...

Love it. Speaking of which I often think I'm losing my mind (or I've had a few too many) watching I-follow as Clive describes the action and calls out players names - as the players he identifies are frequently not the players involved in making that pass/receiving the ball and are most likely...
