It was part of the whole image change and into a whole new way of thinking. It was a cog in the wheel, like the Sky Blue Song and the special trains etc.

As Paxman says, it was a new image under Jimmy Hill. Bet your bottom dollar that back then the City faithful were outraged at the thought of changing to the Sky Blues.

I think some people haven't read up on our history. We were a failing club and Jimmy Hill ripped everything up and started afresh with a blank canvas. The kit, the Sky Blues moniker, the Sky Blue Song, everything. All we are associated with now is abject failure. We need to consider...

This is how we looked about a hundred years ago. We were also known as the Bantams.

i think it is a fair comment, Paxman and it is something I have thought about before. Just think we are forever living in the shadows of those heady days way back when and we just can compete with it. Now people think of the Sky Blues and they think failure. We need to change everything...

Just give them high sixes to celebrate their Championship survival.

You're only saying that because Hillfields is so posh.

I'm pretty sure that's where Jimmy Hill pretty much ended his Korea.

Korean of course.

Sex Pistols released Never Mind The Bollocks. Never thought people would still be talking bollocks some 35 years on though.

That pales in comparison to what happened 35 years ago though.

Seems like you can't have the word Sunderland in a sentence without mentioning stupid.

What the fook was Colin Helay doing living in a glass house? Fookin asking for trouble that.

Wolves 1 - 3 City. Ahh those were the days

I heard it on the radio. The team and manager came out to applaud the fans. I would not have applauded back. It should have been entirely one way.

I have seen that footage and thought the Sunderland fans behaved appallingly on that day. Disgraceful. Nice that, about 3,000 on to 1. And as Tommy says, if you had moved on you wouldn't be on here talking about it endlessly for hours on end.

The game to watch is going to be Man City v Man U a week tomorrow. Man City win that one and they will be back top (as long as they overcome Wolves today of course).

You sure we didn't collude with the chips too? Surprised we haven't buckled under this enormous stain that has weighed so heavily upon our shoulders for nearly 4 decades!!!

No, agree. You did nowt wrong in 1977. But justice after 35 years? Torch is spot-on. Perspective for fooks sake!!! All City fans know what happened in that last 15 mins was very wrong and I for one was there and screaming at our players to get forwards and win the game. Nowt we could do...

Fookin numpties. I would be ashamed of any City fan holding a sad pathetic grudge for over 35 years over something that was in no way the fans fault and for the most part, down to the instruction of the police at the time
