Watched on TV. 6/10 from City for me. Some exciting mini-spells and we rarely looked in real trouble. Sumpuous move for our goal, Haynes outstanding for most of the first half. The last 15 minutes were strange, like we'd given up trying to build any attacks. Even saw defensive punts forward from...

Just too expensive in the end: train to Calais, ferry to Dover, train to London, train to Coventry, hotel; then the return journey on Saturday. I'd been pumping myself up to make this trip since the anouncement was made but reason has taken hold once again.

For months I've been threatening to go wild if we finally got back home - now I can't decide what to do. Any other City fans out in the east of France right now for a booze-up? I'll be in Raon l'Etape in the long-sleeved replica shirt trying not to have my head kicked in by the locals if...

Westwood, Best, Eastwood, Wood Not quite what the OP intended but it used to be my party piece a few years back

I got his autograph in the stands at Sheffield Wednesday back in 1986, or maybe even the quarter final in 87, not sure. I always used to confuse him in my head wth Martin Lane, another hardly-playing defender of the immediate pre-FA cup era.

I hope so because after three poor defeats I don't see where we'll get any more.

Not sure you've taken Danny Philliskirk into account. Ex-player, 1-0 to them. I think we'll lose as there doesn't seem to be the stomach for the fight.

is that Gran Torino?

and me to start it

The French love the old 'steack-frites' and consider it a typical brasserie meal. English and vegetarian, I have always been substantially partial to a plate of ratatouille, even before moving to France. By God I love order in my life though. edit: how are you supposed to reply with quote and...

Notts County, Carlisle, Tranmere, Colchester and Gillingham. Miserable pessimist that I am, I still would never have imagined we'd lose to all those teams in the space of 7 games. Now, who to lash out at?

Glad I smoked you out with some futile conjecture

I agree that we shouldn't be mid-table in the third division. It's harder to say where we 'should' be though. Forest, Leeds, Man City, Wolves and the two Sheffields have all been in the third tier in recent history, after all. I can satisfy myself with thinking we 'should' be 7th, at least for...

Seems like it was another poor display today, but we're still the 7th best side in the division. Not so bad after all from SP and the lads, given the circumstances? We've had a bad couple of months, but plenty of teams around us (Swindon, MK Dons, Walsall, Port Vale) haven't won many of their...

Roussel dragged himself round to reasonable effect for a few months. First one of that list to play during my time as a fan was Perdomo. I remember being so excited at the idea of having a Uruguayan at City!

I love the FA Cup 3rd round. Think we'll lose 2-1 though, with a Baker penno giving us hope before an unjust winner settles things for them.

From lurking and reading countless threads on this forum over the last year or so, I have come automatically to blame both sides for our current predicament. As I began to understand more of what has been going on behind the scenes, my early days of knee-jerk SISU mistrust mellowed into an...

Now THAT is a great example of hanging on
