    Place your bets (Ricoh pitch)

    Is everybody forgetting that artificial pitches are outlawed in the EFL and, presumably, the Premier league ? Harrogate (or was it Barrow ?) had to relay their pitch to grass on promotion from the National league. May have been the same for Sutton United this season.

    RIP Shane Warne

    Who can ever forget that very 1st ball of his in England that bowled Mike Gatting. Sensational delivery that turned about 45° !

    RIP Shane Warne

    There are legends in sport and then there was Shane Warne. One of the very best of all time. RIP Warney. You'll be very much missed both in Oz and in the UK.

    Now this IS what I call unlucky

    Sky Sports is so much better without Richard Keys and Andy Gray

    Dear Boris

    If what Johnson has done so far is, according to you, a good job, I dread to think what you would describe as a 'bad' job... The lying Pilsbury Doughboy must be wanking furiously at the chance to make Churchillian speeches to the world over the Ukrainian crisis. Anything he says wont make a...

    Forum for City fans that live away from Cov

    Born in Cov then moved to Hinckley around 1982. For family reasons, I moved to Norwich a week before the cup final in '87. Still came back to take part in the pre and post match celebrations. Not that blessed with money these days but go to the CBS every so often. My son was born in the Norfolk...

    The Thierry Katsukunya transfer fee to Villa

    Shades of Robert Jarni, us and Real Madrid doing a deal under the table.

    Martin Tyler

    Tyler commentated on our FA cup semi final against Leeds in 1987. Was clearly biased towards Leeds as that was his club. Sounded very downbeat when Michael Gynn equalised for us then exploded with pride when Edwards scored for them...Quote, 'a great game has become wonderful'..... Never liked...

    Every ground...

    One chant that has always been on my hate list is, for example, singing to Ipswich fans, 'small town in Norwich, you're just a small town in Norwich' Utterly thick.... It doesnt take too many brain cells to sing 'Norfolk' rather than Norwich

    Time to go Robins

    How did you manage to avoid Nick's cull on utter wum pricks this last week ?

    City's top 5 earners

    If those figures are even remotely near factual, we have no chance of keeping our players if a bigger club comes in and offers the sort of money that will increase their wages by 4 or 5 times.

    What a night .

    I was at the replay at HR. Just about the only thing I can clearly remember was Jimmy Case scoring an absolute thunderbolt of a shot that no goalkeeper on the planet would have saved.

    Worst day

    Wasnt that called 'The Inn in the Town' at the time it was bombed ? I certainly used it a few times in the year leading up to the bombing as I used to go with a Brummie lass from Castle Bromwich. Only one way in and out. The bombers certainly did their homework for causing maximum damage. ☠

    Scab?

    On GMK, it was a character going by the name of jim_blyth who started with suggesting Northampton attendees be called scabs. That certainly opened up a very long thread of some very personal opinions. Personally, I didnt go to Sixfields even though it was easier to get to from my home in...
