A number of threads on here recently have led me to believe that many Sky Blue fans suffer from the delusion that we are a Premiership club in temporary exile in League 2. We are a League 2 side trying to get into League 1. Perhaps this is easier for me to accept as we were in the fourth tier...

Right, here goes. I'm facing NNW and my mouth is a bit dry.................................................................................................................. any good?

Unfortunately I don't know. It's a popular marching tune which I can whistle, hum or even sing. But that's not a lot of help is it? Anyone else know?

And for those who've been around a while We are supporters of the Sky Blues Jimmy Hill he is our king George Hudson's our goalscorer And Willy Humphries is our wizard on the wing John Sillett is our full back Kenny Hale's at inside right Together we're united We are the boys in blue and white...

Is it time to revert to the original words of the Sky Blue song - 'Proud Posh or Cobblers' rather than the spurious 'Tottenham or Chelsea' (or whatever) as both Peterborough and Northampton are in the league we aspire to?

It was actually an assist to head

In the games where VAR technology is used (rugby, cricket, tennis) there are natural breaks to allow for any necessary inspection. The only time this happens in football is when the referee is considering what action to take after they've blown for a foul or when a penalty has been given. At all...

I went into the Post Office yesterday and there were a stack of leaflets with a sign that said 'please take one' and I took two.

Humphries, Whitehouse, Bly, Barr & Laverick, all for £30,000 (in 1962).

As per my recent posting, 2 points per game from now on yields 83 points and this season that should be enough for automatic promotion. Continuing our current beat rate yields 77 points and that's almost certainly a play-off spot. So just need to up our game a little. PUSB.

I expected the regulars to have a bit of fun with the numbers, but I think it's telling us that we need to up our rate to 2 points per game if we want automatic promotion. Last year Portsmouth, Plymouth and Doncaster were way ahead of the rest. 83 points should do it.

We have 47 points from 28 games. At that rate we'll end up with 77 points. At 2 points per remaining game we'll end up with 83 points. Last year the teams that won promotion from League 2 scored 85 to 87 points. The play-off teams scored 70 to 77 points; the team winning the play-offs...

Unlikely - he's just taken over at Middlesbrough.

We may only have scored 26 goals in all 21 matches this season, but they've come from 13 different players. It would be good to think that this is an alternative approach to the '30 goals a season striker' we crave. You never know where (or when) the next goal is coming from!

No problem. When you've been supporting the City for 65 years you get to be pretty thick-skinned.

I raised this thread as a comment on the supporters, not the team. I just don't understand why a true supporter would stay away when things are not going well but go along when they're OK. That's not how you would behave towards an individual in need of support.

In my 65 years of supporting the City, I can't remember a worse league result than last night. However, my reaction is not to whinge, whine and despair, but to get behind the team. Anyone who has played sport will know that there are times that things just don't go for you - that's when you most...

Hasn't scored yet, but quite impressed with what I saw yesterday. Views?

Interesting to note that, of the pre-season favourites, only Exeter have started strongly. Swindon, Mansfield, Lincoln and Luton are all just behind us. Looks like they're having the same 'settling down' problems that we are. Still optimistic.
