Icons. Wallace on goals per game - would make any modern era City team. Not to mention the iconic kit and hair. Fergie is very under-rated in that partnership as well - goals per game just slightly less than Dion's.

Not a song. But the next TacticGenius who shouts “SHOOT” at a pro footballer whenever we’re in possession and over the half way line - should be automatically banned for life. Almost as bad as “FORWARD.” Never want to hear either again.

Exactly- thought it at the time - bad decision by the Physio.

Exactly - we should have done better - in general our songs/away support is much better now than in the Prem days (just my view). My Spurs mate always said 'we only had one song.' Not the case now.

Love the Big Swede and Hamer songs - it's not often that we've had decent songs with 3-4 lines for a single player. It might be my poor memory but we had nothing like that for Dion or Hucks during that era? One current song I hate is the Mark Robins one - should come up with something much...

‘Who needs Cantona, when we have Wegerle’ And for a time I loved: ‘We’ve got Michael Doyle, Kelly in the middle…….’ until I heard it a million times too many on the day of the L2 final.

That team is a brilliant reminder Jimmy Hills Beard of the terrible situation we had got ourselves into. This is why MR has to be in any conversation of our greatest ever managers. Inheriting a club in total freefall, a team worth nothing and rapidly falling down the divisions. Not to...

Short answer is no with the exceptions being JH and JS. I was also a big fan of the Gordon Milne teams. I just wish we'd had MR vs. Big Ron and Strachan in the crazy spending days. Big Ron was a disaster and was only here on a fast diminishing reputation, Strachan seemed to always play his...

Good post Evo. At 300 games, MR has overtaken JH (290) and is closing in on Gordon Milne (334). Long way to go to catch up with the legendary Harry Storer but soon will be our second longest serving manager in terms of games managed. In terms of win %s for managers with more than 100 games -...

I see your point olderskyblue and both sides of the argument. I like Allen’s attitude and commitment- I just feel he doesn’t quite have the pace at this level. And in my view too lightweight to be starting every week. At times it’s like watching a Mazda Miata on the track wholeheartedly trying...

Decent looking team. Just my view, this formation would suit Palmer much better. Playing in his more natural position as an attacking midfielder vs. the role he's been forced into as an isolated number 10 supporting Gyo. That's not his game.

BSB let's see - in terms of perspective we're a million miles away from the dark days of L2 - and after a poor start this season has been more than ok.

BSB I got it - but seriously don't care that much. Let's move on after a bad day at the office.

Got it Jordan but I seriously care more about the Championship. Let's move on.

Get a grip Jordan mate and others - it's not so long ago that we battled it out in L2 - FA Cup defeats these days are very quickly forgotten. We regroup and move on to the next Championship game.

Looking at this again. Leading up to the penalty, Vik received the ball on the left hand touchline mid way into the opposition's half. Miles from goal. He was on his own and surrounded by 4 Albion players. His strength, speed and directness allowed him to somehow run through the cover and then...

The amazing thing is that the Club didn't reach out and appoint one of the experts on here to the position - given the mind-blowing amount of knowledge and insight shown daily on these pages. A missed opportunity.

Not entirely connected with this but anyone think we need a better song for Robins. The songs for Hamer and Vik are very decent, but 'there's only one Mark Robins, singing a song etc.' - makes me cringe. Feels like we need a re-think on that one - step forward Gruff.

Agreed Nick, and thought that save against Wigan was actually more impressive.
