    The grass was not greener

    Exactly. And this is something in contrast that I really admire about Robins and his team. Totally professional in planning ahead and consistently improving the team through well-judged recruitment. Like every team they don't get all new recruits 100% right but the success rate is very high.

    The grass was not greener

    Just a good job that Adams had planned ahead, scouted properly for replacements and spent the cash available from McSheffrey's sale very wisely :emoji_smirk:

    The grass was not greener

    I hear what you are saying McBean but not entirely sure on these three. Bright - he's a real talent, young and has plenty of time left to have a very decent career (10 Bags Bayliss called him the best player he'd ever been on a pitch with) McNulty - financially I bet he's done well by leaving...

    The grass was not greener

    Ian Wallace. City superstar and all time legend. Never hit the same heights at Forest. No evidence from memory that Ian wanted to move; I guess we needed the cash. I remember he came back to watch a game at HR a few months after he left, hero's welcome in the Main Stand.

    City players who used to look a bit like Hitler

    David Rennie is a good shout. Now if only he'd been a proper Kaiser in midfield.

    A special mention to Deep Pockets Hickman. Wannabe shagger. Failed the test.

    Shagger's XI - Take the p***y

    Michael McIndoe. Champagne, birds, and spending £10,000 a day of other people’s money in Ibiza on that lifestyle.

    Shagger's XI - Take the p***y

    Dean Holdsworth had some form. Unfortunately for us it was off the pitch and not on it.

    Tubby - Lard XI

    Alan Brazil - terrible haircut, fat and a complete disaster. He was only 27 when he joined us which is amazing if you look at the photos - that boy had a very heavy paper round. Within a year of leaving us he was leading the strike force at............ Witham Town. Says it all. Sometimes...

    City's nicest haircut X1

    If not already mentioned, Andy Blair always looked immaculate. Still does.

    City's nicest haircut X1

    That's a good point - but of all the people to make it Jimmy Hillsbeard! It feels like a betrayal hearing you talk like this!

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Best manager hair - our legend Jimmy Hill in the 60s. Big Ron's 70s style combover (in the 90s) the worst of several candidates.

    Best Performance by an Opposition Player

    Three stand out for me: -Shearer in one of his first games for Blackburn. The most complete centre forward performance you are likely to see. What a player he was before injuries slowed him down. -Barnes when Liverpool beat us 6-1 in the final game of the season after they won the League...

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    After considering all responses, this could be the Take No Prisoners Elite XI: David Icke. No one's going to fight the son of God. Dietmar Bruck Curtis Allardyce Jim Holton Pearce Yorath Brian Hill Alan Dugdale Mick Harford Mick Ferguson Probably not the best at tiki-taka (apart from if...

    City's Oldest XI - Take No Pensioners

    Shaun Goater. "FEED THE GOAT AND HE WILL SCORE" We didn't feed the Goat.

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    I played in a semi-professional team and we had a forward exactly like that - often introduced in the final 20 minutes to add a "different dimension" as the manager went old school if we were winning games and gave the orders to put it into the mixer to this animal. We played pro-teams in the...
