Often underrated on the pitch but never in the salon

McCallum’s throws are getting more and more impressive.

Wow, the mood swings around here can be pretty spectacular. The most useless striker in the world is suddenly “Gyo” or “Viktor” :D The guy always looked useful, just short of match fitness and game time. Clumsy at times but clearly has ability, brings fantastic work rate and physicality, and...

Ah that late penalty miss. Listened to it on the radio – it bounced down off the bar onto the line I think, and the commentator changed his mind about three times whether it was a goal or not! Nobody did relegation escapes like the Sky Blues in those days.

Nah, the interviewer just asked him what word he would use to describe the ref.

CCFC website working now, subscribed OK. Try again guys.

Yes, haven't been able to subscribe to the game "Unexpected error" :(

I hope he makes some people eat their words. He has it in him IMO, although he's clearly not the new Alan Shearer.

Think we need to take Pask into account.

Really sad to hear this news. Saint was an outstanding player, and in his TV appearances (especially with Greavsie) you could see what a lovely character he was, full of infectious humour. RIP.

I hadn't realised that awesome Anfield match was only a few days after the Everton one. What a memorable night that was, I don't ever recall a better atmosphere at a game.

Yes, all the games recently have swung on just one or two incidents at either end. Mostly we shoot ourselves in the foot with a couple of individual mistakes in defence, and miss some good chances. Against Brentford those kind of things things went our way, and suddenly everyone in the team was...

Wow the memory really plays tricks! I'd forgotten that we carried on in a similar vein the next year, only less successfully. Yes, I saw the 6-0 thrashing at Goodison Park too ... no complaints with that one, we played a ridiculously open game and they scored six with ease. Sadly I was in the...

And conceded 76 if I remember rightly :D Yes, that season stands out for pure entertainment. I doubt whether any team before or since has played in such an adventurous way in the top flight of English football, I recall being about 4 or 5 nil down at the Hawthorns and Milne replaced a defender...

From the reaction today you would think we had been played off the park, but actually they beat us through aerial dominance, endless fouling (what a pathetic ref) and of course sticking it in the back of the net three times. It’s blindingly obvious that we have inexperienced defenders at this...

Some great recollections on this thread. I know that I must have seen George play quite a few times, but sadly I was too young to appreciate it properly, and there are no clear memories other than the day we won the Third Division. But my Dad spoke his name with the kind of reverence that left...

Looking at the full table on the BBC website, showing recent form, the last 45 games played by the bottom 9 teams have yielded just 4 wins (we have one of them). None of those teams have picked up a win in the last two rounds of games. Lots of weak sides in the bottom half of the table, so any...

Fair comment cc84, just not sure we have enough physical presence with Godden and Walker as a pair. We are struggling to play out from the back in this league and therefore hitting quite a few long high balls.

I have a lot of doubts whether Biamou is good enough to lead the line in this league, but in the last couple of games he’s done better than I expected in general play, and contributed to improved team performances IMO. With the limited forwards we’ve got, if we play two up front Max will often...
