    70s programme review

    It is funny the things that can trigger a memory. There is an artical in this programme about Bill Glazier and his new wife. Then there is a picture of their Jack Russell dog. I was born and grew up in Binley Colliery village. One Sunday I was over on Binley Rec. with some friends playing...

    Disagree. Played well for Barnsley in the league above. First name I would put on the team sheet.

    Burton Albion (Home) Match Thread

    Lameiras played in the away game at Burton, set up Tudgay's goal and generally played well against quite a physical side. I think TM might play him tomorrow.

    Walsall (Home) Match Thread

    Agree with this. Took several hard challenges too and was limping at the end.

    Tudgay & JOB

    JOB one of our best players. TM rates him as he keeps picking him. Only player worth watching for most of last season.

    BBC 5 Best FA Cup headed goals

    Two old Sky Blues other than Hutch in those clips. Brian Lewis, part of the promotion team in 66-67, takes the free kick for Crawford of Colchester to score against Leeds and Dave Bennett is involved in the build up for Tommy's header at the right end.

    Quick question re: Player Sales

    If the club are supposed to be in the position where it is self funding with no money going to or from Sisu, shouldn't the proceeds of any transfer go back into the club entirely as it is football generated. Waggot said at the start of the season that bigger crowds meant a bigger budget for TM...

    Best City XI of All-time (Strikers)

    Loved Ferguson and Wallace, Fergie fantastic in the air, Wallace a great finisher, the beat strike partnership we have had. Another great partnership were Stein and Alderson. Ernie Hunt was great entertainment, scorer of my favourite ever City goal, from the half way line against Burnley, early...

    Local derby, under the lights, get up the Ricoh

    Would hope for more as Walsall will bring a few.

    Best City XI of All-time (CM)

    Jose Perdomo looked good for the limited time he was here.

    Best City XI of All-time (CM)

    Willie Carr and Denis Mortimer. Really liked Terry Yorath, best captain I have seen and excellent in the Fergie-Wallace team, also Gary Mac too but my best two would be Carr and Mortimer. 1960s

    Ones that got away / ones we let go

    I never follow social media so no idea what Baker said on there. I think he was an excellent player for us particularly his two seasons with us in League 1. Just looked up his stats. He scored 28 goals in 147 games, a goal every 5 games, an excellent strike rate for a wide player. In those two...

    Ones that got away / ones we let go

    Like most on here I read all I can about the City. That summer Murphy was quoted as saying he wanted to stay and was prepared to take a wage cut. However, Pressley never stated that he was willing to negotiate, things were allowed to drift and I am sure Murphy just needed to sort his future out...

    If you could sign one player...

    His reaction to the broken nose says a lot about his desire and passion to play for the club. Disagree that he was average. I think he did well here and was a commanding centre half. As always, it's all about opinions.

    Will SISU gamble?

    I did wonder if they might sell season tickets for next season in the next month or two, at this year's prices. They would be asking fans to gamble, at least those who don't automatically get a season ticket, that we will get promoted. However, may be too late now for this transfer window.

    Ones that got away / ones we let go

    Wasn't offered a contract so had no choice.

    Ones that got away / ones we let go

    Would have been far better to keep Aloisi after relegation from the premier league that have splashed out on Hughes, who did little for us, and Joachim who was always injured. Think he would have scored goals in the second division.

    If you could sign one player...

    My son works with someone who is a friend of Bigiramani, she attends the same church as him. She knows my son is a City fan and told him that Bigi was going to sign about two months before he actually arrived. We thought it was simply gossip but turned out to be true. I also remember Gary...

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    No, genuinely happened. There is some film of the goal which was shown at Fargos in the summer.

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    First of many votes I would think for the one and only Tommy Hutchison. 60s
