Of many stories my favourites are: Standing in the covered end at Highfield Road as a little lad swinging my rattle above my head then finding I was only holding the handle. A really tall, scary bloke was looking around holding his head shouting "Who the f**k threw that." I shrank down below...

Is Dan going?

Best Manager City ever had. 52k approx fans against Wolves, 37k average the next season. Took 15k fans away to Forest for 3rd game in old div 1. Abolished max wage, introduced music and entertainment at grounds, the sky blue kit, name and song, advertising on shirts, 3 points for a win, proper...

It was the guy who is negotiating the Ricoh deal who advised Eakin.

Played all his games in the Championship and was a great passer of a ball. Gregor Rioch (one of the best judges of a player) said he was the best midfielder for his age in the country. Won the apprentice of the year award. Sold to a then top Premiership club for 1 million. How many players other...

Absolutely spot on. Coventry City should never think theyare smalltime or thatishow we will end up.

Away we have played poorly since Milwall. However, at Bury we were robbed of a point by dreadful officials. Never a pen. At Walsall we were awful but their second goal was offside under the new rules. The other goals conceded against Scunthorpe and the first against Bury were schoolboy errors...

If Hussey and Pugh play like they did for us our wingers should have a field day. Unfortunately,it never quite works out like that. Reece Brown was poor for us, Cameron we got rid of too soon - there was good potential there.

Mowbray (with Venus and Clapham) has been brilliant with the budget. You could see it at the end of last season how all the payers improved and have continued to do so. Stokes carrying an injury all season has been good, Burge has made very few mistakes that have led to goals. If you look at the...

How many games have we lost with Reda in the Team? Even taking into account Worcester, his record is staggering. Why do you think Mowbray chased him so relentlessly?

When I was really little my dad used to take me to Highfield Road with a box and we would stand by the half way line. You could overhear Ronnie cue Welsh accent (when he came mear the opposition fullback) "I'm going to fuckin skin you today". The next time Ronnie had the ball the fullback would...

I've seen it. It is red with black down the sides and a small collar.

Rumour has it that TM will sign a one year deal if we stay up and those of you who buy a shirt will be wearing a rehash of the 87 shirt that will be manufactured by Nike under a new deal with the club. My only reservation is the source who is an ex sponsor at the Ricoh and told me that Joy...

A guy on an Horizon type programme did a statistical analysis of all the UK football clubs and where they should finish. The only real factor over time that affected where a team ultimately finished was income. With the right owners we could be anywhere from Div 2 to Champions league with the...

In relegation battles it is all about do the other team have anything to play for which makes our run in problematic. Every game is a 6 pointer other than Oldham or against Bristol who may want to be Champions. Our season may depend on whether Bristol need to win and as a consequence, whether...

The owners are shit, the players are mainly shit or young and make their errors while learning ie more nervous at home. The pitch is shit and suits the big boot % football most teams play. Oppostion raise their game at the Ricoh - its their cup final - big time stadium - the leicester builder...

Spot on, although a bit harsh on Finch considering his age 17. There were times in the Championship when Clarke looked very good. Great skill, good passing ability, can see a long pass, good character, improving with his heading. Not so good at the rough and tumble which has always let him...

Assuming we are stuck with our current owners, what would you realistically tell Joy to do from this moment on? I am assuming fuck off is not a realistic option. Would you replace the board again, the manager, go for a rental option at the Ricoh, build a new ground? Think big or think small. I...

I agree Black may not have gone on to achieve anything, but to sack him at that juncture was a bad decision. What was a disaster was appointing Reid, a classic name manager who was well past his sell by date at that time. Together the decisions were terrible. McGinnity made quite a few during...

Brilliant! Although that could apply to most of the strikers he played against back in the day.
