Time for some perspective: -We've lost just two games this season. -In nearly all games we've played decent football and it's been great to watch. -We're 6th in the League and given our domination of most games I expect us to move higher as we convert draws into wins. -None of the teams in...

Like most sane people I focus on the game vs. reading posts during the game. It's glaringly obvious that you are more active on these boards post game with your usual negativity and putting the boot into individuals after we've not performed but pretty quiet generally when we've secured a...

Mind blowing hypocrisy even by your exceptional standards Grendel. I don't recall you ever putting your hands up and admitting that you are wrong in any situation. It's also amazing that you appear on these boards after we don't perform well and actually seem to be happier - so you can put...

One for the kids from the Gillingham bookshelves: 'Fat Bastard' by Steve Evans.

There's a new book out: 'Deep Pockets' by Jay Hickman.

I had to watch this incident on youtube just to see the unbelievable sight of Oggy sprinting against and keeping up with a fast striker! The situation was that Oggy was routinely clearing a back pass from outside the area. As ISB says for all his qualities Oggy was no Marosi with the ball at...

I stand corrected - I automatically blame Gouldy for some of the more bizarre management decisions!

Following on from the goalie thread: Best individual performance I saw was Shearer against us in one of his early games for Blackburn. Peak Shearer before he was injured and lost pace. A masterclass in centre forward play - he was unstoppable. Movement and technical skills on another...

You read my mind Blind Faith. Paddy Kenny was in goals against us for Sheffield United in the FA Cup quarter final at HR. That was the best display I have seen by a keeper at HR. We battered United that day but couldn't find a way past Kenny. He was outstanding. Resulting in that...

I think that's absolutely right Legia. Around that era I think there was a conspiracy theory about Scottish based players being favoured.

From my viewpoint Tommy - it seemed to me that Stockdale gave our defence immediate confidence when he was here. Defenders knew he was going to dominate the crosses and also that his distribution was first class. Stockdale's ability and confidence rubbed off on the whole team. Just the way I...

I think that's right Dreamer. But you could go back a little further. Fabien Barthez was the first modern keeper who was technically good enough to play outside goals. I watched the Qatari U21s train (long story!) a couple of years back and it was very notable how much time was spent on...

I see what you are saying Clint. Sealey (taken from us at the age of 43) was certainly a larger than life 'Cockney geezer' and not lacking in confidence in any way. He's actually an iconic figure at United as many believe that his epic performances in a short cameo saved Ferguson from the...

On a far more outrageous technicality you could throw Peter Shilton into the mix as the greatest keeper ever to be on the books - even though he never made it onto the pitch!

Completely on your side Gint. Boateng makes it into my all time City team of the players that have worn the shirt for us since circa 1978.
