He played ok on Saturday, was busy, a handful, and worked hard to close down Sterling when we were pressing towards the end. I’m not saying he is better than Chaplin, we need to give him more time before judging. If Thomas was playing in our team, behind Clarke-Harris, I think he would do a...

Whatever we do in this window (and it’s bound to be limited), we are highly unlikely to get promotion, and as we won’t be relegated, I think that MR should focus on developing and improving the players he brought in. We then look again in the summer transfer window, with a view to bringing in...

I thought Thomas looked quite good yesterday, very busy, a bit of a handful, and worked hard to close Sterling down when we were pressing at the end. Re-signing McNulty would smack of desperation, and I don’t think we are desparate. We will probably end up mid-table, which would be fine, as...

Agree with this, I thought we were poor in the first half, they had most of the game, but we dug in and defended well. The second half we attacked from the start (not just when we went 2-0 down), the introduction of JCH at half time made a huge difference. They then scored a fortunate deflected...

Well, I have good memories of Aaron Phillips from the game at Wolves 4/5? years ago. He scored a cracking equaliser and then a fantastic saving block tackle in the box in the dying moments. A good memory, and I hope he finds a decent club.

So, enlighten us Grendel, what or who are your music tastes?

Thanks for the article, excellent. I too saw the two JCH ‘interactions’ with the steward and thought it was unpleasant and totally unnecessary, I love the way he is grafting and bullying centre halves at the moment, but this was not needed. Can someone help me with this one? I was driving...

I agree, this was sung towards the end of the game when we went 4-1 up and Bradford fans next to us in the stand started to leave. I’ve seen it sung at other grounds in the same circumstances. Although it is insensitive, and i’m no defender of some of the things are fans sing, I don’t believe...

I understand what your saying, but is there not room for both Thomas and Jones, as we finished last night? I don’t think Jones is near full fitness yet, so Thomas is vital to us, and as with Sterling, I think Thomas will get better and better with more game time. We will miss him if he is recalled.

You may well be right, but I do know the boy works really hard the whole game, great attitude. He’s a good player, at Southend in the second half, he got round the back twice, the first time he picked out Willis who miskicked, the second time he picked out JCH who took too much time in getting...

Yeh, he was abusing the ref after the first yellow, so the second yellow was nailed on. Don’t know what his problem was, the guy was an idiot!

I thought the fans were superb yesterday, the noise was tremendous, and I was pleased to see that the support was particularly strong after we conceded. Good to see the support for Burge as well. I’m sorry to bring up a negative, but I do wish our fans would focus on supporting our team...

I know what you mean SBH H, by being greedy. Over many years I have followed City, almost always away from home. Due to our problems over those years, I could really count on one hand the number of games we won. So in the past, if we were drawing with 5 minutes to go, I would have been whistling...

The population of Newcastle upon Tyne is around 260,000, the population of the Tyneside conurbation is 830,000+.

Yes, I didn’t mention that, many people feel we left the heart of the club at Highfield Road, but that shouldn’t perhaps influence new (young) supporters?

I always thought that teams like Wolves, Aston Villa, perhaps even West Bromwich and Leicester, have a greater history than us, and therefore have a greater reservoir of support. I still think this is true, but I’ve also looked at our attendances for 1962/63 and 1963/64, both years in which we...

My first game 26/3/1963 v Sunderland, won 2-1, under lights, huge crowd, fantastic atmosphere. Glad City won for you and your nephew!

How great would it be if he became the hero for us fans? I couldn’t be more pleased for him.

I thought against Sunderland on Saturday, that our second half performance was really good. I still think that we will come good and will be one of the top 6 teams in the league. We can’t rest Doyle until either Kelly or Ogogo are fully fit, otherwise we become a pushover in midfield like we...
