    The 1968 Sky Blue

    Here is a picture of Bobby Gould in the 1967 version of our Sky Blue. This game was in the first half of the season as we were promoted in 1967. I’ve never seen this picture before putting Bobby Gould 1967 into Google. Shows him at Highbury against Terry Neil. I always liked those chunky blue...

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    I agree with a lot of what you say. I haven’t been to many rugby games, a few Coventry matches and an international a couple of years ago in Cardiff between Wales and Ireland. The latter was an “event” type fixture where people went along to have a drink and to post on social media that they had...

    Leon Clarke

    I would say that McGoldrick and Armstrong were better players than Clarke. I think King was the better all round player and played for us at a higher level. That said, I would sooner have had Jutkiewiez than King as he was far more of a team player and his attitude was spot on despite not being...

    The Curious Case of Jordy Hiwula

    There was a great stat from Clive Eakin before the game on Saturday. This time last season we were 7th in League Two, before the Wycombe match we were 9th (now 8th) in League One. Therefore in the calendar year we have climbed 21 places. Robin’s Out. Simply not good enough.

    We are in crisis

    Out of all of the games in the bad run, that is the one that rankles with me. A game we should have won.

    This would make it feel like a real stadium again. It would be good to have half of the other end if the away following was small enough.

    The bloke sat next to me (who was with his small 5 or 6 year old son) yelled at him that he was an f**king t**t during the first half because he punched the ball rather than catching it. The same bloke shouted abuse at Shipley whenever he had the ball. Why do people like this even go?

    We are in crisis

    I just do not agree with the notion that performances have been rubbish. Some have, but on the whole I think this team has played well. Had we had someone who could regularly take the chances created, we would be in the play offs. Games that I think we were second best in and deserved to lose...

    Liquidation

    I think it is only a last resort to resurrect the club if Sisu do pull the trigger. I know from a Trust meeting I attended some years ago that they had plans in place if the worst came to the worst. I would have thought that that is how things ought to be. I have honestly never heard anyone say...

    Liquidation

    That’s everyone isn’t it? Who are the fans who want liquidation? Who are the Trust board members who want us to go bust? I don’t think the few people on here attacking the Trust are the only ones who want the club to survive, do you? It is the notion that because the Trust were the only fan...

    Liquidation

    I can’t see why any City fan would want liquidation. As the Trust are simply a group of City fans who follow home and away, I can’t see why they would want it either. They certainly have no control or input into the process.

    I went to Wycombe last year when the game was played in the middle of the “ Beast from the East “ period and was the second coldest I have ever been at a football match (first place goes to Wimbledon at the hockey stadium in MK). The current mild weather is spring like in comparison. I think we...

    Liquidation

    I think the only people who would liquidate CCFC is Sisu, hasn’t Seppala threatened already to do this? Why would liquidation therefore be down to anyone else but them? So the Trust and Sisu now conspiring together to get rid of CCFC? As I said, if this happens it will be down to Sisu and the...

    ) The Law is there, why don’t they use it? It might stop the keeper of the team who is leading falling over and lying on the ball every time he makes a catch. Drives me up the wall.

    Sunderland Documentary

    The thing about football is that most people who go are committed to one team or another, they go wanting their team to win, not just hoping for a good game. It is curious therefore, that some of these people, despite wanting their team to win, hurl abuse at their own players, making a winning...

    That’s a bad thing? You would want him not to be good in our own box? You just wouldn’t want him back for corners and free kicks?

    Until the Luton and Shrewsbury games, l was very optimistic of ba play off place. Those performances were so poor and flat winning the amount of games needed seemed beyond us. The way we played yesterday against a good third division team has reignited my belief! We need another good run now to...
