    January Transfer Window

    Not sure Hamer has publicly said he wants off. Even if he does I imagine it will be part of a career plan he has in mind rather than the implication that he no longer wants to play for us. I would be surprised if that career plan entailed a move in this window though, as it will provide him with...

    The future of the club

    Endless mid table finishes would lead to losses in support down the line, with a resultant loss of income through the gate. We have to make some kind of play off challenge every few seasons to sustain or improve our support base. Even relegation followed by immediate promotion could be better...

    January Transfer Window

    I think thats a bit OTT. Hardly anyone has brought in a new player so far apart from Forest. Cook looks a decent signing on paper, but when Davis was mentioned as a loan signing on here in the Summer he was widely ridiculed for such a poor scoring record. To be fair Dike looks a good signing for...

    Top Ten City goals of all time

    Also remember Hutch scoring a bit of a thunderbolt against Gary Bailey for Man U. Think we won 4-3!

    Match Thread Derby (H) FA CUP

    Of course you have a right to this view, even if I disagree with it, but seeing as you don't give a shit I will expect no negative comments from you if we lose the game. My view is that resting players, will not make getting a result against Peterborough any more likely, so why bother doing it?

    Top Ten City goals of all time

    Could probably do a Top 10 of Ndlovu goals that would all hold their own. As well as those already mentioned I remember his goals at Wimbledon in a relegation crunch match. Also a winning goal he scored against Villa and one against Norwich when Ray Stubbs went all Barry White on Match of the...

    Rumour - Stuart Mckinstry

    Has anyone ever suggested Dabo to play in centre midfield?

    City in Europe - 1970

    Great photos. I don't imagine it was that easy (or cheap) to travel to Bulgaria back then - certainly no package holidays to Sunny Beach available I would have thought! Anyone know how many travelled to Munich in the next round? Shame we couldn't play in Europe after winning the Cup as travel...

    Millwall Match Thread 29th December.

    Maybe mixing you up with another poster, but there is a poster on here who brings up this reddit site with monotonous regularity. Rather than 'promoting' this site which may or may not show the game, or may or may not require a good ad blocker, why not advise those who can't make it, but want...

    Millwall Match Thread 29th December.

    You are forever promoting this reddit site, even over the legitimate sites that provide income to the club - I don't get it!

    Coventry United Ladies

    The people running women's football effectively want to follow the men's example and are star struck by the mens PL, hence the immediate haste to have a Manchester United ladies team placed straight into the top league. The days of a Doncaster Belles type of team being successful are long gone...

    I thought we've just been told not to expect much movement this window!

    Stoke/Millwall/Luton attendances

    Only if you could guarantee promotion instead. You can't do that though so we should therefore take the FA Cup seriously, progress as far as we can in it, and hope the club can make some good money that might make MR's job a little easier down the line.

    Cardiff away

    For the conspiracy theorists amongst you could Cardiff have got wind of the BCD instruction and quickly found the appropriate level of injuries/ positive tests to cancel the game? If they can't play in front of crowds, while their English opponents can, they will soon be at a financial...

    Championship 21/22

    I believe stats show that ball is only in play for around 50 to 55 minutes of any given game. The only way to stop the excessive time wasting would be to have an independent timekeeper, with 2 halves of say 30 minutes, with the clock only on when the ball is actually in play. As pointed out the...

    Transfer Rumour Walker to Lincoln

    Did you research anything to back this statement up? In our League 2 season Doyle missed 2 league games - both of which we lost. Kelly missed a dozen or so league games - did we lose all of them too? For the most part of our League 2 season Kelly wasn't that special. He did however improve...

    Transfer Rumour Walker to Lincoln

    Hughes and Clingan were technically better but offered far less to the team than Doyle, bar Hughes first season when he did perform well. Even though Doyle was viewed as inferior in quality to these players, he was far more effective than them, both in disrupting the opposition, galvanising our...

    Transfer Rumour Walker to Lincoln

    The same prejudices used against Walker were always evident in Doyle's distractors too, but kind of by using reverse logic. While Walker is accused of being lazy, Doyle was just a headless chicken who ran a lot. Both are simplistic nonsense, but of course they are the terms that football...

    Transfer Rumour Walker to Lincoln

    He was not in anyway responsible for our 2 relegations, and it could be argued that if he had been part of those teams we wouldn't have been relegated in the first place. As for the original point Walker is not lazy. Robins would not give him the time of day if he was. He has also been unlucky...

    Transfer Rumour Walker to Lincoln

    What equates to 'strong rumours'? Don't see this at all - probably wishful thinking on the part of Lincoln's equivalent to the fantasists that sometimes post on here. They will not be able to afford him and it would be a completely backward step for him. From CCFC's standpoint we need the...
