    Best Performance by an Opposition Player

    Three stand out for me: -Shearer in one of his first games for Blackburn. The most complete centre forward performance you are likely to see. What a player he was before injuries slowed him down. -Barnes when Liverpool beat us 6-1 in the final game of the season after they won the League...

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    After considering all responses, this could be the Take No Prisoners Elite XI: David Icke. No one's going to fight the son of God. Dietmar Bruck Curtis Allardyce Jim Holton Pearce Yorath Brian Hill Alan Dugdale Mick Harford Mick Ferguson Probably not the best at tiki-taka (apart from if...

    City's Oldest XI - Take No Pensioners

    Shaun Goater. "FEED THE GOAT AND HE WILL SCORE" We didn't feed the Goat.

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    I played in a semi-professional team and we had a forward exactly like that - often introduced in the final 20 minutes to add a "different dimension" as the manager went old school if we were winning games and gave the orders to put it into the mixer to this animal. We played pro-teams in the...

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Mate I was in the Main Stand. I will never forget Gibson's run and finish past Grobbelaar to complete the hat-trick. It was just unbelievable considering who we were playing and the background to that season. Amazing moments at HR that will never be forgotten.

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Well I understand the shame Nick....... as Nick Platnaeur was born in Leicester and later played for the Foxes.......... But on the very positive side he was part of a very young and hastily assembled team who made us all dream against the odds in the summer and autumn of 1983. And that goal...

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Highfield Road in the background (Main Stand) looks great and ready for the new season. Simpler times in 1983!

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Yes. Iconic goal and the first of 4 that day as we hammered the Champions and dominant team in Europe. Terry Gibson hat-trick followed.

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Tommy English when he dyed his jet black locks to platinum blonde. Confused me a lot as a 10 year old. Thought we had a new number 9.

    Killer - 80s perm, mullet and tache. Worst combination ever.

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    Mick Ferguson as a possible addition. Big man, Brilliant beard. Must have been a nightmare to defend against. One of our best ever forwards in my view. Never took a backward step.

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    Lots of good candidates for this one and I'm sure I'm missing some impressive names on the team sheet. Take no prisoners XI: Sealey. In a position marked by craziness, Les (RIP) took it to whole new levels. East London gangster swagger so could phone some heavy connections if anything...

    Robins post match interview - style

    Some insights during the game which are ok to be honest but not very often heard. I think he's viewed as the long term replacement for Clive - kind of worried by my life choices that I'm commenting on this subject/know this kind of thing!

    Player of the season so far

    100% agreed with this. You could go even further with Dabo as he's always so confident, wants the ball and is never afraid to step in to defend his team mates when it's kicking off. Always the first one to arrive if there's a dust up. Someone I'd always want to have in my team. Just brings...

    Robins post match interview - style

    It's a good job Robins doesn't have to publicly respond to some of the comments on here - then you might see some true professional disdain at times! I think he's usually very calm and measured but equally I think he has an issue with some of the local reporters. I actually quite like the...

    Ipswich trouble

    Seriously who cares if Millwall has a bigger issue than we do or if let's say Brighton has fewer arrests than we do. No one wants to see these morons associated with our club and ruining a day out for others - end of story.
