My favourite City manager and team ( the Fergie and Wallace version. I only just caught the tail end of JH as manager of the club so can’t really count him).

The writer plays down the possibility of Coventry being sacrificed although he does site evidence to the contrary as well. What did surprise me was that Coventry was virtually defenceless. No air defence at all. It did seem that all the effort had gone in to protecting London. On the 14th the...

It mentions in the book that the Green Lane area was bombed quite badly. Was the Standard factory near by? Sorry to go on about thee book but it does mention a few times that young lads of 15 or 16 were out on these nights cycling around the city and acting as messengers as communications were...

Well, there's a coincidence because I am reading the exact same book! I am about half way through. I was particularly interested in the couple of pages on the Alvis factory as I did my apprenticeship there in the 70s. It still had a network of underground shelters which were used in those days...

I enjoyed listening to this. I thought it was really insightful when he was talking about the Exeter play off final and how much he wanted to win, how he and the team were determined to dominate from the start and not give Exeter a chance. I felt he really conveyed well the mindset of a...

There is some footage of Tommy's goal. A few years ago Dean Nelson put on a show of archive City clips at Fargos. One of the clips was the last few second of the run and ball hitting the net. I asked Dean about the clip and he told me ITV have footage of that goal but had only released film of...

You must have been standing next to me and my dad cos that's where we were!

N Ashamed to say I looked him up on Google and then the penny dropped!

That was Michael Ginn's testimonial. Mickey Quinn also 'played' in that and was the size of a barrage balloon, while Hutch a generation older, wouldn't have been much above his playing weight. Hutch was subbed at one point and as it was going to be his last appearance at Highfield Road he knelt...

For what it's worth, I thought your question was fair enough. I certainly didn't know that current contracts would count as average wage on relegation. Thanks for asking, I found something out and Allen has just equallised!

I think anyone who saw him play wouldn’t be able to pick any other player than the wonderful Tommy Hutchison. Mr Magic.

I agree with this. While games are BCD then it's a good idea to allow UK based as well as overseas fans to access Ifollow. Long term I think it will have a big effect on attendances. Just reading through the match threads it is obvious a lot of people watch home games as well as away games on...

Stay undefeated in our first 12 matches and we set a new record for league games. Can hope but can't see it.

And Chris Waddle

If Sisu are intent on pursuing things beyond the EU ruling, whenever it is given, City playing at the Ricoh can only still be a positive for all concerned. Sisu, it seems clear, will do what they will do irrespective of what happens to our club. Our return to the Ricoh would see Wasps make money...

And we beat them last time we met.

Seven over the two legs!

Chris Anderson was asked at an open Trust meeting about the sites Fisher had been on about. His answer, delivered with a smile, was 'I think that a site was once identified.' in other words he felt it was BS.

Gary Breen has taken a bit of stick on here in his role as commentator. As a player for us, he was never one of my favourites. I thought that that like a few of our players at that time, he was riding the gravey train, more interested in himself than the club, a view strengthened when he ran...

I thought the big difference between the Rangers game and the match yesterday was the absence of Kelly and Hamer together in midfield. I felt that with them in midfield and the five man back line we really suffocated Rangers creativity while making one or two chances ourselves. Swindon created...
