    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    I often feel particularly feel for those youngsters that never saw us in the top flight at all. This season aside it must have been one hell of a tough gig for the last 15 years. At least us older fans have our FA Cup/promotion/regularly beating Liverpool/Arsenal/Man Utd/Chelsea memories to...

    Favourite Moment of 2015

    The Gillingham game. Simply blew the leaders away. Champagne football and as we know we ended the day top of the pile. And my girls were mascots to top it off. Brilliant day all round.

    Crewe (Away) Match Thread

    Although I can see the temptation to rest Fleck I feel we need to play our strongest side available ahead of a ten day rest before the two big home games, especially given the number of points we've dropped recently. Murphy and Arma to start at the expense of Fortune and Kent. Martin back if...

    sh#t on the villa!

    Up to you I guess. It just seems a bit pointless to me calling a side 'our biggest rivals' when they couldn't give a toss about us.

    Ones that got away / ones we let go

    Before my time but wasn't Brian Clough on the verge of signing for us (after Jimmy?...) but had a change of heart because we leaked it to the press? Or have I made all that up?... If true it would be fascinating to think what would have happened to the club under his stewardship.

    Isn't that a good sign, suggests the on field stuff is going well?

    Surely not James

    Can't believe you berated the Villa song. All hell will break loose now. They are our biggest rivals.

    sh#t on the villa!

    Even back then Villa didn't recognise us as rivals. There was a rivals poll similar to the one posted here recently, done in about 2000. Villa responses didn't put us in the top 3 of that one either.

    Would you take Elliott ward ?

    I'd take Ward back definitely. Do we know how long Martin is expected to be out?

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    Yeah, kind of expecting a 100% return on Hutchison from anybody who saw him play. I don't think I've even seen any video clips of his goals. Didn't he beat almost the entire Arsenal team before scoring at Highbury once or is that just an apocryphal tale?

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    Ok guys, we are now onto Left-sided midfielders, as part of a 4-4-2 formation to keep it simple. Same as before, best player of all-time and the decade you started supporting the club. Voting ends on Friday at 1pm. My vote - Ndlovu. No player in my lifetime created more expectation and...

    I would go Murphy, Maddison and JOB behind AA. 2-1 City.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    24500 today according to BBC. Does that mean the real crowd was about 15k?
