There were very strong rumours that the stand burning down was not accidental. Especially as Derrick Robbin's company built the new stand.

Not in my lifetime either, but loads of grounds were open all around at first. Think my grandad said something about Highfield Rd, but I may be misremembering, which is not unusual at my age. Just realised my family has supported the City for five generations and the youngest is 19. Maybe six...

Will Haji be jet lagged? Think that is a more important than the rest, although I think the Sleep Coach will be all over this. Robins would sometimes rest players, apart from Lati who always played after international breaks.

Remember the Blackburn game was in 1967, although I saw but did not experience trouble at non-league friendlies earlier in pre-seasons. Small town mentality. Don't know when it was changing around at half time at Highfield Rd, or other grounds but there was no segregation in the early years at...

Maybe we can get Jerry Dammers back to reprise his stint on the turnstiles for us.

Used to do that at every ground even Highfield Rd. Lots of fans changed ends at half time. First time I experienced hooliganism was at Blackburn when we were changing ends.

People at the match this season despite all his goals still say he needs replacing with a proper striker? You know who you are.

Bannan is a great player. Wonder how many years he has left in the tank? If Wednesday fold, would be worth a punt.

We have a small squad so lets move on another player who played a lot of minutes last season. Duh, Lati has been injured and has had no pre-season. That puts him a long way behind our other players. Lati played virtually every match for Jamaica, but not this week. That says he is not match fit...

Hope so.

The Peterborough Chairman said he couldn't lose in the playoffs last season, as if either Mason-Clark or Burrows got promoted, they would get a million. Didn't quite work out as anticipated. From what I read, I think Haji's one million sell on clause has expired.

Lampard does not need the money. He is seriously minted. Every manager wants to manage in the PL and Champions League. I think Chelsea came too soon in his career and Everton were struggling with a poor squad. Rangers guarantee Champions League football, at least for a couple of games. If Lamps...

Some words of caution for which I have been spectacularly wrong so far this season. Four players back from International duty. Haji and Asante may be very tired. This is the Championship. We have a great home record recently against Blackburn. I expect us to win as I don't think Lamps will...

Think Lamps is keeping things close to his chest. Torp on the bench against Wednesday is promising. Eccles may not make it for a while. No inside info, just a suspicion. Rudoni some weeks could mean anything.

Agree can only think of the Leeds and Burnley matches at home where he was less than brilliant. Was it against Burnley he gave them the ball back that led to the equaliser? Think that is why Lamps drilled into the players not to show the opposition too much respect regarding the parachute teams.

That day Campbell tried to take out Grimes, MVE and finally Dovin, where he succeeded. The ref was a disgrace that day not realising what was going on.

I think the linesman played the not interfering with play card. Assume he thought Bobby was onside with the header and then he thought Haji never touched it. Haji knew, he never celebrated until the goal was given.

Guilty as charged. If anyone thinks they are right all the time and crow about it, it is the first step in psychopathic tendencies.

Robins instinct has always been to defend first. Our new regime is fuck it lets go for it. PSG, Bournemouth and Newcastle play a similar get if forward quick policy. Obviously, we are light years behind those teams but it is the right way forward. PSG and Newcastle even go for the rugby kick it...

Mark Robins said Bidwell was a Rolls Royce of a player. He has been good for us, but struggled after his injury. Absolutely fine in the last sub appearances.
