Mentioning Waddell above has reminded me of his one liners. One in particular is probably one of the best bits of commentary ever! "Genghis Khan conquered the world at the age of forty four. Phil Taylor's just done it aged twenty nine" I'd put Henry Blofeld in with those 3 too. Sad he's gone...

My Grandad spoke about that era a lot. Loved the teams of the 40s, 50s and 60s. George Hudson and George Curtis were the best he'd seen in a City shirt in the 3 quarters of a century he was a fan. Best side he ever saw City play was Man City in our first season in the top flight. I grew up...

When we were 0-1 down and they almost made it 0-2 the other night my mate & I looked at each other and said that Southgate would be gone in the morning if it stays like this. We both then shuddered when it occurred to us who is the most likely candidate to replace him!

As iconic a voice as Sid Waddell and Murray Walker. Don't make them like those three anymore. All brilliant.

Terrible. A few good/unbelievable wins here and there but a lot of the performances under him were almost as bad as what we saw under Slade.

He's not even United's best English defender.

I believe it was the first of it's kind and other clubs soon followed. Once the shares were issued they formed an early version of the SCG. Made me quite sad that he was one of the reasons it started but I was involved when it all came crashing down. With regards to dismantling the current...

My Great Great Grandad ended up owning most of the club due to that. He and a couple of others then formed the CCFC Supporters Club and the shares he acquired due to Cooke's ban and the dismantling of the board were sold on to the fans for sixpence.

Will certainly give that a listen. Does Kev rattle on? Good to see he's climbing the media ladder.

Was looking forward to a November trip to Bosnia for a while in that game. Who needs Brazil and Germany at home huh?

Poor first half. Ok in the second. This game was massive. Lose and we're in the play offs at best. Draw and we're in a strong position. Win and we're as good as through. Slovakia are a half decent side and played some nice stuff. Very much doubt the top two will be different in two games time...

Even a quite well known City fan with a ban was turning up to most home and away games. He was even chanting his own name in the concourse! No one did anything.

A very good question.

A much better punishment would be being made to sit next to the band at every home game.

There has been suggestions that a free ticket to every England game from now on would be a greater punishment. Should be noted that he won't have a problem getting into Wembley with a ticket. The stewards don't know what type of event they're working at let alone the teams concerned, boxers...

Will do and I'll look forward to it. McGinnity was the one with links to a building company IIRC. He also had links to the company that put the seats in at the Ricoh

McNulty has 1 in 16 league games. Biamou is unproven at this level. Nuzon isn't proven at any level. Jones blows hot and cold. Beavon isn't and never has been a consistent goalscorer. It's a problem across the board. Then add in the lack of depth and multi dimensional thinking in the centre of...

Bonkers result tonight. A virtually full strength French side who are probably the best team in the world right now just had 75% possession & 31 shots on goal but drew 0-0 at home against Luxembourg.

Actually, what about Orange Ken?!

Ditto.
