Need the crowd to be up for it and not wait on the players I think. Not something we’ve always been great at. Otherwise it all gets a bit nervy with 23k+ in there.

Whet did he actually do? He I know did what he did with the club and posted on here regularly. He supplied us at Browns lane with some stuff and wasn’t from my recollection that discreet with his insider knowledge

Jim was an announcer for the club for many years and seem to know what was going on. Had no reason to doubt any of his revelations and chatted to him regularly over a pint or 2
Also a very decent bloke

Maybe it’s because I’m over excited re how big a game this is for our season, but I really think Walker will have a good game today (hoping he starts).

We’ve seen a few times this season Gyokeres marked out of the game and doubled up on, but nobody take advantage of the space, I think Walker can. When he’s had mini purple patches and looked confident, one attribute he does have is good positioning and movement. Let’s hope we see it today.

Just the front of block 28 that needs filling up now, why does no one want to sit there?

Definitely. I'm hoping we score early, the place will be bouncing.

I can't remember what game it was earlier this season, we got a goal early and I've never felt atmosphere like that before in the Ricoh/CBS.

Had a pretty terrible week tbh, looking to the boys for a result to cheer me a bit. I think we'll do it and if we do I'll have a serious play off boner, but if we don't you can expect to see me writing us off at 5pm again.

Correct if that was the whole story.

But how many of the other clubs have played at 4 grounds in the last 20 years and have spent periods playing away from where they are based? How many Championship clubs have ended up in Division 4 in recent years and can pull in a crowd like this?

Could make a list of what our fanbase has had to endure. But here we are. As usual one of the lowest budgets. But our support is amazing. A mate of mine is a Palace supporter. He loves going to our games for the atmosphere. The noise we make is on a par with the better Prem support. Without our support we wouldn't be in contention this season.

Thanks bud. I don't get to see my beloved ccfc as much as I'd like these days but they still possess the ability to lift my spirits so fingers crossed.

Really excited for this. Been up since 7am shadow boxing. Not sure what to wear, might actually wear a City shirt. Got 2 massive scotch eggs and some wine gums to see off for breakfast, then it's off to the shops for beers and a new lighter. Come on City

stick your best tracksuit on and give it a rousing rendition of PUSBs in the living room, you'll soon cheer up mate.

I've got a mismatching tracksuit on and my son has just drop kicked me in the bollocks so my voice has gone a little squeaky. But I'll give it a shot.

Think its easy to misunderstand how much each era of players means to each generation of fan.

I was lucky enough to see the tail end of the legendary era with Robbie Keane and McCallister etc, but goals from players like Reda and Biamou meant the world to me at the time amd despite wantimg better in the future I really appreciate players like this being recognised for what they mean to people.

So instead of stalking me like you also do to others how about instead of just calling a comment bullshit why not say why?

All you do is post negative comments and stalk. You back at school on Monday morning?

If he walks round the pitch at half time he will get injured - hope there is a stretcher at the ready

What an idiot you are.

I made a post with nothing to do with you or any of the rubbish you post. So you came out with a comment as you always do about the Sunderland site and me posting there. That is the idiot following me. Yes I do go on there when we play them. So do several others. But yes you stalked me as always.

So how about finally saying why my comment was bullshit or haven't you got enough intelligence to put a few sentences together?

A big crowd in previous seasons would have had me worried. But this squad seems to appreciate the support and noise and have stated we are the 12th man. So not worried anymore.
