My locals were the Albany and the Cottage in Earlsdon. Albany never recovered its former glory, the Cottage destroyed especially closing the garden

Bit out of step with the times changing the name from The Shepherd and Shepherdess to the Old Shepherd. That's brewery's for you

George Hudson was incredibly skillfull but only really played in the top division with Northampton. Too slow for the top division and whist he scored the best ever goal for the City, I fear his ability to cut it at the top level is overrated. Ndlovu was class but was poorly treated by Atkinson...

Is half of it shit coloured?

Remember the Head of our Academy upgraded (ho ho) to Wigan. He was good. Is he still there?

Think we really lack invention from corners. Maybe we are worried will get caught on the counter which used to happen a lot more. Hence, a conservative approach. Last time we scored a different corner was Shippers, I think

Deeney flattened Gus deliberately off the ball at Brum. Nothing given at the time or retrospectively

Two things radically improved football. Three points for a win and banning goalies picking up back passes. That 1-0 to the Arsenal shit with them passing back to the goalie for half the match used to do my head in.

Think they will throw the kitchen sink at us in the opening 20 mins. Need to win the midfield, so would play Hamer, Sheaf and Eccles and quieten their crowd. Need to try and not give away too many corners or free kicks around our area. We never seem to do well up there but we are better than QPR

The table rarely lies. They are where they are on merit. If Vik stays, (unlikely) a battering ram partner up top would help against some of the more aggressive teams in the Championship. We appear to be one year behind Luton in our progress. Lets hope so. I gather we were after Cresswell this...

I think Howley and Burroughs are going to be good players for us over the next few seasons if they stay injury free. They are both big and mobile with good football skills. Thought today they both made one crucial mistake each, which is what you get from young players. Howley's interception...

I remember when fans used to change ends at half time to be behind the goal their team were attacking. I don't condone or do violence. I came across it first at a pre season friendly in around 1967 at Forest Green who were non-league. That same year when changing ends Blackburn fans started...

Back in the Stone Age, every team used to sing You'll Never Walk Alone with the scarves aloft swaying and Molly Malone with City, City at the end for us. My favourites were Sing When Your Fishing, You Only Sing When You're Fishing to Grimsby and the slightly un PC, Does She Take It Up The Arse...

It was a Liverpool song we nicked. The Liverpool fans used to sing that verse back to us

Fletcher I think, said a mistake was made when the ground was planned and that away fans could not be put elsewhere, as leaving the ground would mean supporters mixing a lot more than they do now, resulting in more potential flashpoints. Think the police also objected on similar grounds.

Think Rose should be offered a contract. Injuries have stalled his progress, but if the management team feel those problems are behind him then sign him up. Looked fine coming on as a sub in recent games. MR doesn't change a winning team very often, only where injury or tiredness is a problem...

I think people underestimate Eccles. He has been getting better all season after a bad start at Sunderland and injury problems. Always happy when he is on the team sheet.

I remember when I was a student, absolutely everyone from Newcastle and Sunderland were football fans of their home town club. This was an arts course where being into football was very uncool. Apart from me, there were no Coventry people who supported football even though we were in the top...

Interestingly, the PNE commentators thought their player who had already been booked should have had another yellow when Vik turned him on the wing and was brought down. The ref never even gave a foul. I can understand why Vik got booked. Their centre backs were absolutely shagged out near the...

With our small squad, one of the lowest budgets and consequent injuries, he has worked miracles.
