Strange think with Telfer was that after his 2nd game for us in a midweek home game against Man City, when Isaias played a blinder (some will remember), Blackburn offered over double the money we had paid Luton for him that Summer. Big Ron turned it down! Not sure about no talent either - I...

Swansea never go for that type of manager. Robins is the kind of manger they look at so I can see a kind of logic in his position in the betting.

To be fair to Culpin, he was being asked to step up to the top flight. I'm pretty sure he would have scored plenty in the league we are in now.

I will put Cov in, although that is completely biased, and I don't believe a fan of any other team would include us. As I'm making up my own rules I will also leave out Villa, Sunderland & Sheff Utd just because I can. If only I had such power!! The other 19 would be Arsenal, Birmingham...

I remember an away game in the 80's (Luton i think), where the words 'Hey Jude' were replaced by 'Sky Blues' & the chorus was sang repetitively for over half an hour.

I think that was more a Liverpool/ Everton thing from what I remember - the anti Villa songs tended to be much more vitriolic. 'My old man said be a Villa fan', 'Hes only a poor little Brummie', ' The Villa sing, I dont know why coz after the match they're going to die' etc etc. There were the...

Yes, otherwise we could have also had Big Sam

I vaguely remember a song to that tune in the 80's - can't remember the words though and haven't heard it at a City game for years.

West Brom Charlton Newport

.......... and a Tory led council would be different?

Note to self - I must remember that football doesn't count before the start of the Premier League :)

By that token it would have to be Reg Matthews, given that he played for England while we were in the 3rd tier.

Typical nonsense from you. He has done his bit for our club and doesn't deserve your disdain If he hadn't been good enough to take his opportunity the club would have binned him off without any second thought. He could have left to the Championship before now anyway when Rotherham wanted him a...

I remember Camwell playing last game of season and had Robins praise ringing in his ears. It didn't do him much good!

I'm amazed so many on here are writing off Bayliss already. He is very young, and there were many instances last season where he took the blame for moves breaking down when it was often a case that a few of his more limited team mates were simply not on the same wave length. It's one of the...

If Willis does go, and Davies stays I don't think we need a replacement, and would rather concentrate on filling other positions (right back for example). We will already have Davies, Hyam and Rose, with Drysdale, Thompson & Williams looking to make the step up from the under 23's.

I honestly don't think anyone would give him stick now. Too much time has passed, and I think a lot of us that were around when he went to Villa now realise that Bryan Richardson engineered much of the bad feeling towards him. He got a good reaction a few years back when he was doing a...

You're memory is failing you Houch. The game was against Wales, and it didn't slip through his hands, in fact he had no chance of stopping it. The goal is on YouTube (scored by Willie Donachie - check it out). Blyth during this period was the best keeper I've seen play for us. The own goal, and...

I'm not sure the gulf in class would have been so apparent if we had also used under 23's from the 1st team squad - Mason, Shipley, Ponticelli or even Bayliss & Jones if they had been fit, never mind our loanees in Sterling, Enobakhare & Thomas (if eligible).

How old is Drysdale? He looks very comfortable on the ball, and on tonight's viewing I will be very surprised if he doesn't make the 1st team next season.
