2 points off 9th as well. Such a tight league.

By the same token, Chris Marsden going to...I want to say Wolves..? I'm still very upset about that.

John Salako. Saw the newspaper billboard that we were signing him for £2m and thought 'this is it, we're destined for the big time'. How wrong I was.

The drought is over!

I've told this tale before, but I was at the match with about 10 mates, most of who were Villa fans, and we all sat in the Villa end (can't remember which stand, but the goal was scored to our right). When Moldovan scored, me and one of the other City fans stood up and cheered, and the stewards...

Only fair way to judge it is to look at how many cock-ups other L1 and L2 keepers have made that cost goals. Apart from the McNulty one at the start of the season (which was more like the defenders fault tbf) can anyone think of one in our favour in the last season or two?

Over the summer it stood out that a number of signings were on 2 year deals. Suggests to me this was a 2 year or bust kind of plan to go up - ideally 1 though, of course. Edit because my kid was distracting me: my point being that surely we wouldn't make the mistake of over-stretching the...

After all these years, it's ingrained in me to expect the worst. Heavy 3-0 loss.

Goddammit.

McNulty!

A proper ding-dong of a game so far.

Boateng was a beast. He should have played for a 'bigger' club than us and Villa imho. Too good for lower-to-mid-table obscurity.

There were a lot of punts on players at that time. Laurent Delorge, Ivan Guerero, some centre back who cost a cool million (can't remember his name) but barely played, Runar Normann, Jairo something-or-other. It's like we had money to burn.

I spoke to Phil Neal about a month after we signed him, and Neal said he'd had no idea how good Dion's left foot was. He also said that when Lee Hurst got over his knee injury we'd have one hell of a team. Lee Hurst is one of my saddest memories of that time (alongside David Rennie's presence in...

Best thing about the way Doyle does his dirty work is that he manages to look innocent. The Swindon sending off, he clearly kicks the player, then acts with rage for a split second when he gets pushed in the face, then calmly walks away. He doesn't get in their faces while the ref is looking...

Did we sell our players last Jan? Or did we turn down bids for Haynes, Willis and Stephenson? Sure, if a multi-million pound bid comes in for anyone they will go, but that isn't SISU or Fisher dictating that, that's footballing reality for a Division Four club. And no, I'm not pro SISU before...

This league is so tight at the moment that each win feels vital. A bad defeat on Saturday and we could theoretically drop down to 11th (although I'm sure some of those teams will play each other, so maybe not). Still, it shows that we have to keep getting points on the board. No room for...

Love the way Doyle winds them up and then walks away.
