As Harry Redknapp once said of one of his teams “On a good day we’re not too far off being a half decent side”

Good game this! I like the online RGB to Pantone tool, and after playing around I reckon 215,239,247 is much nearer to the mark. But nobody knows for sure what is authentic, and of course you also have to LIKE the colour if you are going to be living with it every day.

None of the photos posted so far look like the “right” colour to me. Definitely don’t go by the historicalkits.co.uk web page, which gives a very misleading impression. Just a thought - I reckon the retro kit we used in the relegation season 2011-12 was pretty faithful to the 1960s colour. Why...

Harsh I think - he really doesn't strike me as that sort of character.

It's a Simple Game after all ...

Newport’s club website has a hall of fame spanning the eras of “both” clubs, and their statement about the importance of distinguishing between the old and new clubs comes over more like an afterthought or disclaimer. Clearly they have no problem in regarding themselves as the rightful owners of...

We obviously must also maintain a legitimate claim to our history whatever happens, but beyond that I am not too hung up on details or legal shenanigans. It's interesting to think that the whole Sky Blues thing was a fabrication of the 1960's, showing that new traditions can be built pretty much...

Thanks G. Proof really isn't necessary:) Happy New Year to all.

But if it’s the ball I’m thinking of, wasn’t it a sweep out wide to the far wing? That’s fine by me, even if Sterling did have to perform some acrobatics. It’s the long straight high balls to the likes of Chaplin and Hiwula that I think we need to reduce, because 9 times out of ten it just gives...

Burge - 7 did everything he needed to do Sterling – 8 unrecognisable from the feeble early performances. Still perhaps badly positioned when they got that chance at the end though. Hyam - 8 dealt well with absolutely everything thrown at him, and undroppable on this form. Would just like to...

Bradford was appalling wasn't he? Meant to be a midfield general as I recall, but didn't even seem to be able to run properly and was totally out of his depth.

Been there, done that. Small kids can find it too much, with thousands of boistrous beer-and-pie-laden adults jumping up and down and screaming to celebrate the inevitable stream of City goals. But in my experience it's quite possible to simply move to a different part of the stand. It's...

Just seen this, and very pleased to have got them all right - it took some effort! In a few cases I actually recognised the players, but mostly it took some cunning digging on the internet and some help from a couple of my CCFC-related books. Many of Grendel’s questions were dauntingly obscure...

Ah yes, cheers G. For just one week at Christmas time, the evil monster comes out of his lair and spreads goodwill amongst men with a sadistic quiz :) I associated the player with a particular manager who wasn’t even in charge in the 70’s, so it did puzzle me a bit, and it turns out I was...

Got a full house up to now, with a bit of a struggle, but these latest two have me stumped. I thought I instantly recognised the first one, but when I looked up the player I had in mind they only appeared for us at the end of the 70’s, so I must be mistaken. Spitting image though - hairstyle...

Possibly the darkest post I've ever seen on here, and I only wish it wasn't so convincing:(

I seem to remember at the time that there was a bit of hype around his signing, and we all hoped he was going to tear opposition teams apart. His name sounded so good - I mean you don't look for too much from a Simon Blenkinsopp or a Terry Potts, but with this guy world domination was the least...

Jodi is easily my favourite player in the current squad, and it’s horrible that this injury has recurred. But it’s clear that he is now in absolutely the best hands. Hard though it is on him, he may need the patience to not even think too much about next season, and set his stall out to...
