I see your point Grendel. But there seemed to be lots of pressure to 'shop at Harrods.' Speedie was a brilliant player but changed the set up of the Cup Final team and never in my view worked well with Regis. And I know Speedie completely disrupted the dressing room. So whilst the...

I see what you are saying Platty. The way I see it is that Houchen was a slow starter with City; who took some time to adjust to the higher level. Once he did adjust he was a key component of the team - not just in goals scored but in terms of how the team was set up. I think in the Cup season...

I was there in the Main Stand for the St. Mirren game and it was all a bit surreal. Low attendance and felt more like a pre-season type game. Talking of the Cup season: One game that should get more of a mention on here (in terms of the best atmosphere at HR; was the opening game of the new...

Bad news for 'deep pockets' Hickman and now '7.5 bags' Bayliss.

My memories are a little different. Started going with my Grandad in the early 80s; vivid recollections of leaving the game '10 minutes early to avoid the traffic.' Obviously looking back the only intention was to avoid the full on violence outside the ground. Never worked. It seemed that...

2. Harry Roberts before he finally scored?

Thanks very much for the great recommend Brighton Sky Blue, I watched the Doncaster one over the week-end. The chief exec attending the final game was astonishing and he single handedly initiated a near riot by being there - totally stupid and pointless to be anywhere near the ground. Great...

Agree with all of this better days. The Four Year Plan is amazing tv; and the duplicity of the owners and in particular the chief executive is breathtaking. Briatore was actually ordering subs to be made from the executive boxes - has to be seen to be believed. I watched the Maradona at...

Speaking of Man City Bertola, and apologies to anyone who mentioned it before I watched City! - 1981 documentary on YouTube yesterday. In terms of our City, featuring youngsters Ray Ranson and Dave Bennett. And Malcolm Allison - what a character. Very charismatic even as his team was failing...

I found it on YouTube 'better days'; albeit it's broken into 10 minute segments per episode.

I can't tell you how much I love this video - literally sends shivers down my spine. Which memorable moments from the last 3 seasons would you now add to this video? I'd go for: -FA Cup away at MK; crowd celebrations after Max's goal -Notts County second leg; Max's goal that put us clear after...

I hear that Fernando. As you say the defence was not up to Premier elite standard and Strachan over 5 years did not fix that. Limited players like Telfer should also have been replaced; now if only we'd had someone like Robins during that era and not Strachan...we'd have been going places...

Travs you sound like you do a bit of running yourself?

I wish I could help with that Sam; but way before my time. You make an interesting point on reserve games. In the early 80s as a season ticket holder, you could go and watch the reserves for free. I'd play junior football on Saturday mornings, and then dependent on the week-end go and watch...

Daz - I couldn't agree more. Bleasdale looked out of his depth but bringing in Big Ron completely undermined his position and he lost it. Didn't Bleasdale walk out at half-time; it was like watching a drama that was way beyond all imagination except that it was real. Add Barry Fry into the...

Some great suggestions above that I will watch. Big Ron Manager. In my opinion a terrible appointment for us. But the Big Ron Manager series is an absolute classic.

That was me Travs! I did qualify that by saying that with specialised endurance training (i.e. over a period of time) and with the right race conditions on a flat course..... that 1.05 could be possible. So the suggestion was not that it was achievable tomorrow but that the potential was there.

What a goal that was Brylowes and at a key moment. One of my top 2 goals of the season, only matched by Max's fantastic goal away - one of those perfect moments with Max coming back from a long term injury - and what a strike.

I'd have to look at his other runs on strava and see if there's consistency - it's a good question Robbie.
