I wanted to complain yesterday as my son was searched and I was allowed straight through. Must be agest and a violation of my human rights surely?!

I thought JCH had a really good game at Brighton but have been disappointed with his performances since. The one area in which he is an improvement on Biamou is in goal scoring. For this I would keep him in the team ahead of Max. I don’t think he is as good in the air or with the ball at his...

I’ve parked in there 3 times this season. Each time I’ve bought something £50+. Twice I have had a letter coming through saying I have to pay a fine. Each time I have taken a photo of the receipt and emailed it back and heard no more. The bad thing is that on their letter with the fine they make...

On about Akpon. He played a few games at Northampton didn’t he? I watched us away that season but can’t remember him playing.

I liked Alex Nimely. He didn’t score enough goals but I thought he was a good player. I never saw the other guy play.

Just found a few highlights of the game on Youtube. I had forgotten that they were playing in the green and black away kit, our best away kit I think. I would like to say that Willie Carr got the ball and that Colin Bell went down too easily for the penalty, but in reality looked a pen.

From the same school of management as Steve Evans.

No but two great games. In the home game we were a goal down with Jimmy Holmes also being sent off. We managed to turn it around and lead 2-1 going into the last few minutes when the inevitable equaliser came. The replay was exactly a week later and I sneaked my transistor radio into college to...

Maybe not! I had started work at the Alvis in 1973. Remember the three day week very well. That included electricity cuts at certain times, no TV after 10:30 at night and also early kick offs and no evening kick offs so the floodlights wouldn’t have to be used. I remember our league cup quarter...

Robot or Slade? I’d have the robot every time!

I’m sure you’re being ironic. I work in a school and where as we used to drown in paper, we now drown in computers and even more paper.

I was listening on the radio the other day to an item about robots in the US being used to cook burgers in fast food restaurants. The reason for there introduction, as always, was the huge saving in costs on labour. There was someone on from a British bakery saying how they are increasing using...

At the risk of sounding like the old git that I am, wasn’t the same thing being pushed about automation 20 odd years ago except with the pay off at that time being increased leisure time and shorter working weeks. The opposite seems to have happened.

I thought it was a good tribute to Cyrille. Greg Downs spoke really well. Amazing how well Cyrille’s family held up and were able to speak about him.

Not disasterous, just not as good as when he left.

Baker isn’t one of the best players we have had. He wouldn’t have got into the top flight teams and he wasn’t consistent enough in Division two. However, he was probably our best player for a couple of seasons in League One, both scoring and making lots of goals. He was player of the season at...

Yes, liked him too. Had a great partnership with Martin in the season we finished sixth and qualified for Europe. Part of arguably City’s best ever team although for me that is the Fergie and Wallace team of the late seventies. They were magic! Sadly I think O’Rourke died recently.

I think Setters got the second, it was either Bruck or Machin got the first. We beat them again the following season when I think Curtis did score. At the time of the first match he was still recovering from his broken leg.

Shows how sad I am but I can remember the Telegraph headline for the report on that match on the Monday following the game. This was Bobby’s first game back after being out injured for several weeks, it was also City’s first win for several weeks too. Hence the headline was “Dynamic Bobby back...

That Utd game came only a few days after the main stand burnt down in a fire. The whole central part of the stand was gone, only the blocks at either end remained. They somehow fitted temporary seating into the central part that was burnt and the game went ahead with a crowd of 48k in...
