    Player ratings v Cardiff

    Kane wasn't fouled, it happened right in front of us and was a pathetic attempt to con the ref. He made a right tit of himself, could have cost us a goal and got sent off with a second yellow for simulation. Moore 8 – a big upgrade on the keepers we've had over the last few years, spreads calm...

    Humble pie

    To be more exact, you said "He looks utterly hopeless to me. Too slow both physically and mentally, and clumsy to boot." :) Fair enough though for acknowledging how well he's playing now. But you weren't alone and there might not be enough pie to go around. Here's a few more quotes about...

    Jake Clarke-Salter

    Yeah that boiler and radiator analogy was all wrong. To me, it’s more like turning up the thermostat using the dial in the kitchen, only to find that the window in the back bedroom has been left open and the lagging on the pipes in the outside bog has come away, causing condensation and some...

    George Curtis

    Only just heard this sad news. George was one of a kind, and the absolute foundation of City's rise to the top flight in the 60s. To then go on and play such a magnificent part in the 1987 cup win makes him arguably the single greatest figure in the club's history. RIP Iron Man.

    McCallum’s throws are getting more and more impressive.

    Wow, the mood swings around here can be pretty spectacular. The most useless striker in the world is suddenly “Gyo” or “Viktor” :D The guy always looked useful, just short of match fitness and game time. Clumsy at times but clearly has ability, brings fantastic work rate and physicality, and...

    Today’s games

    Ah that late penalty miss. Listened to it on the radio – it bounced down off the bar onto the line I think, and the commentator changed his mind about three times whether it was a goal or not! Nobody did relegation escapes like the Sky Blues in those days.

    Nah, the interviewer just asked him what word he would use to describe the ref.

    I hope he makes some people eat their words. He has it in him IMO, although he's clearly not the new Alan Shearer.

    Think we need to take Pask into account.

    Ian St John

    Really sad to hear this news. Saint was an outstanding player, and in his TV appearances (especially with Greavsie) you could see what a lovely character he was, full of infectious humour. RIP.

    What was your favourite ever season watching city in the league

    I hadn't realised that awesome Anfield match was only a few days after the Everton one. What a memorable night that was, I don't ever recall a better atmosphere at a game.

    Ratings v Swansea

    Yes, all the games recently have swung on just one or two incidents at either end. Mostly we shoot ourselves in the foot with a couple of individual mistakes in defence, and miss some good chances. Against Brentford those kind of things things went our way, and suddenly everyone in the team was...

    What was your favourite ever season watching city in the league

    Wow the memory really plays tricks! I'd forgotten that we carried on in a similar vein the next year, only less successfully. Yes, I saw the 6-0 thrashing at Goodison Park too ... no complaints with that one, we played a ridiculously open game and they scored six with ease. Sadly I was in the...

    What was your favourite ever season watching city in the league

    And conceded 76 if I remember rightly :D Yes, that season stands out for pure entertainment. I doubt whether any team before or since has played in such an adventurous way in the top flight of English football, I recall being about 4 or 5 nil down at the Hawthorns and Milne replaced a defender...

    Positives

    From the reaction today you would think we had been played off the park, but actually they beat us through aerial dominance, endless fouling (what a pathetic ref) and of course sticking it in the back of the net three times. It’s blindingly obvious that we have inexperienced defenders at this...
