    I hope...

    Even the fact that the future of TM is being discussed is total madness. Who was the manager who despite all of the problems he inherited took us to the top of the league, had us 11 points clear of 7th place and has his team playing such great football? You are judging him on the fact that his...

    I hope...

    Some people have very short memories. We were desperate last season, absolutely awful. Having watched us for 49 years, I can never remember such dire, drab football and match days. Had it not been for TM we would now be in League 2 This season has been a breath of fresh air. We have a manager...

    Ricketts needs time out of the team

    Disagree. Seen most games this season including today at Port Vale. Not sure his performances have dipped significantly. Due to poorer results lots of people looking for scapegoats, he seems to be one. I'm sure TM would have no hesitation in dropping him if he felt he wasn't doing his job. I...

    Or just more ambition than Sisu?

    Time to face facts

    Same would apply to Dack at Gillingham and Bradshaw at Walsall. Pretty sure that their wages would have increased significantly. The fact is that they were under contract like Maddison so it was up to the club whether they went or not. Walsall and Gillingham clearly have more ambition than Sisu...

    No Ambition

    They sell them and use the money to rebuild. They don't just fall over at the first offer then pocket the little they recieve.

    70s programme review

    It is funny the things that can trigger a memory. There is an artical in this programme about Bill Glazier and his new wife. Then there is a picture of their Jack Russell dog. I was born and grew up in Binley Colliery village. One Sunday I was over on Binley Rec. with some friends playing...

    Disagree. Played well for Barnsley in the league above. First name I would put on the team sheet.

    Burton Albion (Home) Match Thread

    Lameiras played in the away game at Burton, set up Tudgay's goal and generally played well against quite a physical side. I think TM might play him tomorrow.

    Walsall (Home) Match Thread

    Agree with this. Took several hard challenges too and was limping at the end.

    Tudgay & JOB

    JOB one of our best players. TM rates him as he keeps picking him. Only player worth watching for most of last season.

    BBC 5 Best FA Cup headed goals

    Two old Sky Blues other than Hutch in those clips. Brian Lewis, part of the promotion team in 66-67, takes the free kick for Crawford of Colchester to score against Leeds and Dave Bennett is involved in the build up for Tommy's header at the right end.

    Quick question re: Player Sales

    If the club are supposed to be in the position where it is self funding with no money going to or from Sisu, shouldn't the proceeds of any transfer go back into the club entirely as it is football generated. Waggot said at the start of the season that bigger crowds meant a bigger budget for TM...

    Best City XI of All-time (Strikers)

    Loved Ferguson and Wallace, Fergie fantastic in the air, Wallace a great finisher, the beat strike partnership we have had. Another great partnership were Stein and Alderson. Ernie Hunt was great entertainment, scorer of my favourite ever City goal, from the half way line against Burnley, early...

    Local derby, under the lights, get up the Ricoh

    Would hope for more as Walsall will bring a few.

    Best City XI of All-time (CM)

    Jose Perdomo looked good for the limited time he was here.

    Best City XI of All-time (CM)

    Willie Carr and Denis Mortimer. Really liked Terry Yorath, best captain I have seen and excellent in the Fergie-Wallace team, also Gary Mac too but my best two would be Carr and Mortimer. 1960s

    Ones that got away / ones we let go

    I never follow social media so no idea what Baker said on there. I think he was an excellent player for us particularly his two seasons with us in League 1. Just looked up his stats. He scored 28 goals in 147 games, a goal every 5 games, an excellent strike rate for a wide player. In those two...
