I mean that we got away with some (at times) risky passing around the back line. A handful of times the ball was very nearly pinched right on our 18 yard box. This may have been punished by a more clinical team than QPR. I accept this is our style now and if/when it costs us a couple of goals we...

Yeah... i think calls that we are going to destroy Barnsley because we're on 3pts and they are on zero, are a little premature!

I really don't want to be negative about friday as it was excellent overall. But we really got away with it in the first half, with some risky passing round the back. That's the way we play, and that's absolutely fine, but a top team could have been 2 or 3 up by half time. Then they wouldn't...

QPR pressed us brilliantly in the 1st half. Perhaps they just couldn't keep up that intensity after half-time. I think teams will really do their homework on us this year.

Without wanting to get too negative after winning so well yesterday, but i think we really need the win against Barnsley... the little run after that is tough. A win at Barnsley would boost confidence yet more, and if we can then pick up perhaps a win or couple of draws from the rest of...

As i said, it was in no way a criticism of the team, and indeed probably a poor choice of phrase... but the fact that QPR were bigger, stronger, etc, is the point i was making. It is a point i have seen made on here over many years... that we have been "bullied" by teams, or other teams have...

I think we have carried on in a similar way to last season. Last year (and i mean absolutely no disrespect to CCFC) we did sometimes seem to be boys vs men.... but we were so much technically better than the teams we played against, that our slip-ups weren't punished, and as we all know, we...

They were incredibly lucky last night. Another sent off, then scored in about the 94th minute to beat Metz (who really had ample chance to win it themselves in the last 5-10mins).

I am usually far from a doom-monger, but feel a loss here. In which case we really need to stick to our principles and playing style, and not fall into a panic.

That doesn't make it right. It's still blatant cheating. Rivaldo was a cheat. C.Ronaldo is a cheat. That's why (in my opinion) none of them would go down in my book as the greatest ever players. (although C.Ronaldo would make my all-time 11).

He's a cheat and that tarnishes everything for me, regardless of his talent (which as you say is amazing).

The overreaction on here is pretty cringeworthy... But that doesn't alter the fact that you're clearly a tosser for thinking an unrelated and unfortunate injury entitles you to some kind of apology from the board, and marks you out as "right" ...

No doubting his ability, but for me will always be tarnished by the constant diving.

I'm not saying that Southgate is a genius. I'm just saying that (as usual) we massively overrate the ability of our players on the world stage.

We constantly slate the managers... Capello, Eriksson etc, were the very best available at the time. Did they suddenly become "shit" when they took the England job? Or do we keep get fooled into believing the media hype that we have the best young players in the world. We were fortunate in...

Parkruns should be coming back in late October....

Wait til we lose to Bristol City though... the taxi will be screeching round the corner...

Rightly disqualified, it's the rules... What seems to be pretty poor is the media witch-hunt towards him... he lost his rag, launched the ball, and it was an accident, i'm sure he regrets it... Yet the media seem happy to turn a blind eye to high-profile drug cheats in athletics and cycling...

Not got any city shirts. Got a few foreign ones though... Greece... Olympiacos and FC Platanias both from early 2010's Turkey... Besiktas limited edition memorial shirt to their old stadium. Italy.... Inter and Bologna (gorgeous) both from around 2016/7 Used to have rare Boca Juniors and...

Raced on the track at Pingles this afternoon in the Masters (over 35's) meeting. 3000m... 10:32, which was an improvement of 16secs on last year's time, and doubly pleasing as my recent training times suggested that i'd be doing well to get under 11mins. Four of us pulled out a big gap in...
