Growing up in Hillfields, this is a tune I could relate to, back in the day. 🤣 Can’t say I remember much about 1995 except this song, our FA Cup run, being excited about John Salako joining us (but then being a bit of a flop) and the crap time I had at secondary school. Besides all, respect...

Freestyle Limerick-ing, mate, I’m a trend-setter.

I once knew a guy from Abertillery who was a hardened doorman, really rough and ready sort. People called him Three Fingered Derek, cos basically he had 3 fingers on his left hand. The other two were bitten off by a gentleman who was, in his words, off his tits and hankering for an ambulance...

Is this allowed, Admin? If so, what nicknames do you have/have you had? My parent’s for me are borderline child abuse: my dad calls me Smeghead and my mum generally just calls me numpty. Or numpt’ for short. At school I was eternally my surname, which was a tad irking. Let the fun begin…😊

To be honest, I firmly believe he was wrecked at The Queen’s funeral. Like George Osborn that time in Parliament, looking spaced out and disheveled.

That bad? Or was it tactical?

How’s he getting on? I always hoped JJ would have a monster peak in ability whilst here at City, but those injuries just wrecked him.

It was legendarily awful. 🤣 Whenever there was a chance to counter attack, I’d say quietly, “just throw it Oggy…” but nah, he’d hoof it into the directors box.

They were all a bit…chavvy, to be honest. But yes, those two were ‘provocative’. 🤣 The sending off, like you said, really got our players motivated. I can still remember the match itself, well, bits of it. Mainly how cold and damp it was.

This thread should be sealed in concrete and dumped in the North Sea. Deary me.

This constant “we’ve lost this many out of this total of games” and “this is the worst start to a season ever” contexts do not cater for the extraordinary disruption that has blighted our campaign already. Prior to that, who knows what the issue was, but I do not believe for a second that our...

I must be in the definite minority, since I’ve never enjoyed alcohol. Even socially. It made me either miserable or ‘fighty’.

Held, yes, but in that position (from experience) I’d be trying to get up before I got kicked accidentally, and if you look at the replay, it appears like their guy is attempting to do just that by using Hamer to lever himself up. Seems Gus is getting more petulant as time goes on.

I’ve watched the replay at least 12 times. He’s felt their player holding onto his legs (after the tackle and ensuing tangle on the deck) and lashed out, in a ‘make it look like I’m rolling over’ fashion. Very petulant. Their guy (his name escapes me) made a great tackle to win the ball, in...

Ok, red card aside, can someone please surmise concisely what exactly caused that flat, unproductive second half? Was it tactics IE us or them? It seemed we were flying in the first half. What is it that’s actually going wrong?

If we keep plugging away, one will go in. PUSB

Beat me to it. 🤣

Let’s have a goal then, PUSB

Yes, of course, I suppose it’s a matter of opinion though, however. I was fortunate enough to see his second half heroics against Tottenham in 96/97, which ultimately kept us up. I haven’t seen a ‘clutch’ display like that from a City player since. The man was a wall in trackie bottoms...

Half decent? lol
