    Moussa's Wonder Strike

    All three goals against Arsenal when we beat them 3 v 2 at Highfield Rd. on the 26 th. December 1999.....especially Robbie Keane´s effort when it almost appeared that he had a telescopìc leg. Fantastic memories

    Memories of Playing footie in the streets.

    Indeed I did along with my elder brother John. I was born in 1957, and John in ´54 so we must have coincided. I must have been there until ´67/´68. Don´t remeber too much about it except that I was in "West" house and in the earlier days the football teacher was a certain Miss Perrins, an...

    Memories of Playing footie in the streets.

    Everything seems so much better in hindsight Liam, but you are right as far as making our own entertainment is concerned, we did it because there really was no alternative. Social interaction was what forged a community spirit. It was face to face communication in those days (and not so very...

    Listening to Je t´aime by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin was about as good as it got !!

    Memories of Playing footie in the streets.

    There used to be some proper pitches over towards the Manor House and on towards the A45; and I´m pretty sure that some Sunday league games were played there. A bit after my time though. I do remember however playing for Whitley Colts on the pitch directly in front of Allesley Hall and blazing a...

    Didn´t Franki Valli and the Four Seasons write a song about that Houch ?

    Memories of Playing footie in the streets.

    I used to live at the bottom end of Allesley Old Rd., opposite what is now the pitch and put golf course. Despite the undulating surface, in the mid to late sixties during school summer holidays, games of football would go on for what seems like days on end, starting in the morning and...

    Crime watch - madeline

    I´ve always thought that there is something very strange about the parents, just some intuitive thing you can get about people without any obvious reason for it. We all tend to let our guard down when we are on holiday with young children, but two so called professionals who would leave their...

    city get new centre half

    Hope we´re not expecting him to chip in with the odd goal here and there, since according to wikipedia he´s scored 2 in his entire career. Please note that this is just a light hearted comment, before people start to say that we didn´t get him to score goals or that we´re judging him before he´s...

    Carsley to End of Season

    I pretty much agree with Otis here. After listening to Robins´s declarations from the video link, he certainly doesn´t paint too wonderful a picture for a would be candidate. We don´t know for sure if it´s all gospel, or some kind of lame excuse for his departure, but I don´t believe any manager...

    Talk sport now

    Caught the end of it, but the presenter said basically that Robins shouldn´t have said to the fans that he bleeds sky blue blood because that is bullshit and they don´t deserve that, and unless you are manager of a team of Man U´s stature then you are always going to be on the lookout for...

    Another exciting new era about to start? Maybe - Maybe Not!

    It´s good to hear a positive post for a change. By the way does this all sound familiar..... http://www.htafc.com/news/article/first-team-news-mark-robins-656702.aspx
