    City's nicest haircut X1

    Mate I was in the Main Stand. I will never forget Gibson's run and finish past Grobbelaar to complete the hat-trick. It was just unbelievable considering who we were playing and the background to that season. Amazing moments at HR that will never be forgotten.

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Well I understand the shame Nick....... as Nick Platnaeur was born in Leicester and later played for the Foxes.......... But on the very positive side he was part of a very young and hastily assembled team who made us all dream against the odds in the summer and autumn of 1983. And that goal...

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Highfield Road in the background (Main Stand) looks great and ready for the new season. Simpler times in 1983!

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Yes. Iconic goal and the first of 4 that day as we hammered the Champions and dominant team in Europe. Terry Gibson hat-trick followed.

    City's nicest haircut X1

    Tommy English when he dyed his jet black locks to platinum blonde. Confused me a lot as a 10 year old. Thought we had a new number 9.

    Killer - 80s perm, mullet and tache. Worst combination ever.

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    Mick Ferguson as a possible addition. Big man, Brilliant beard. Must have been a nightmare to defend against. One of our best ever forwards in my view. Never took a backward step.

    City's Hardest XI - Take No Prisoners

    Lots of good candidates for this one and I'm sure I'm missing some impressive names on the team sheet. Take no prisoners XI: Sealey. In a position marked by craziness, Les (RIP) took it to whole new levels. East London gangster swagger so could phone some heavy connections if anything...

    Robins post match interview - style

    Some insights during the game which are ok to be honest but not very often heard. I think he's viewed as the long term replacement for Clive - kind of worried by my life choices that I'm commenting on this subject/know this kind of thing!

    Player of the season so far

    100% agreed with this. You could go even further with Dabo as he's always so confident, wants the ball and is never afraid to step in to defend his team mates when it's kicking off. Always the first one to arrive if there's a dust up. Someone I'd always want to have in my team. Just brings...

    Robins post match interview - style

    It's a good job Robins doesn't have to publicly respond to some of the comments on here - then you might see some true professional disdain at times! I think he's usually very calm and measured but equally I think he has an issue with some of the local reporters. I actually quite like the...

    Ipswich trouble

    Seriously who cares if Millwall has a bigger issue than we do or if let's say Brighton has fewer arrests than we do. No one wants to see these morons associated with our club and ruining a day out for others - end of story.

    Next season's team (in the championship)

    We've gone from 'taxi for Robins' to 'who is good enough for the Championship now we're nailed on L1 Champions' in less than 2 months. The wonders of following the City. In terms of evolving the team, as others have pointed out this is a key strength of Robins. His track record year over year...

    Ipswich trouble

    Mate. Most clubs I'm sure have some morons who think it's ok to ruin a day out for others through anti-social behaviour and complete disrespect for others. I get that. But surely you're not defending or condoning the morons in our support who do this on the basis 'that other clubs have similar...

    Away record

    And on a different point, I don't think our form over the last 4 weeks has been as impressive as some of the earlier performances where we absolutely played teams off the park with our passing game - only to draw. Some of the most pleasing football I've seen CCFC ever play. But we have of late...

    Away record

    I think that's right Mucca. The only thing I would say to give a slightly different view is that pre-season we were most excited about Jobello, Kast and Allen. For different reasons only Allen has featured and he's only been a regular in the side since late January. Jones also a huge loss...
