Trying to hang a giant 1970's Italian movie poster ("quattro fogli"). It's pretty heavy in the frame. Trying to locate wooden studs in the wall to put some hooks or something in. However my stud finder only bleeps at certain spots and not eg continuously down a vertical or horizontal line as I...

Just been watching this. Looked at the England 22. We had no less than 4 goalies: Shilton, Beasant, Seaman and Woods. Anyone know why so many? Seems a waste of a place.

Cracking headed goal from Nicky Summerbee cross in front of me at St James Park in a 1-3 that definitely should have been 1-10. Waddling around in midfield against Chelsea at Maine Rd. If goals were pies..

Remember him latching onto a perfect cross at the Leazes End at St James Park. Any one of his usual 50p piece headers and it would have gone in. This time - straight as a die and straight at the keeper. Seemed to sum him up.

Caught a bit of an old Spurs match - must say David Silva plays a lot like old Osvaldo Ardiles.

Wich City manager(S) played in the top flight after ceasing to be City manager and who for?

Came across this fellow by chance. Never heard of him. Any ideas?

Something to pass the time :) Have we had City players from all the counties? I'll start off:- Dennis Tueart - Northumberland Francis Lee - Lancashire

Tony Henry - he had an odd City career. He was outside the squad for years and years until Big Mal turned up. Then he was first choice week in/ week out until Mal left. Then back to being on the outside again and ended up playing at a lower level for the rest of his career. Like a lot of things...

.. going into Terminal 3 at Ringway on Sunday afternoon. I was just moping off having seen off my daughter to her home after Christmas when in walks the man himself. Cheered me up a treat. Apart from him being crocked. When will he be back? Happy Christmas all. Ste

Watched a few mins on You Tube of City at Villa first game of 2008 season. Everything M Jonno did was spot on - and the grace and confidence he did it with was really impressive. Real shame that we never got to see the finished product. Looked like he could reach any level he wanted.

When we went down at the times above - were there any particular players you thought responsible - in the sense of not pulling their weight? I thought Uwe merited quite a lot of blame for his finishing in the last 2.

Further to my last post, it may be that .. 1.Martyn Margetson was subbed at half time at home to Everton in 1993 because he was so bad may be a myth, since Reid had deliberately (for the only time that season) put a goalie on the bench and perhaps had planned to give MM and Dibble half a game...

Saw a YouTube interview about Howard Kendall taking over in 1989 - it has Big Mal on it, saying he had discussed with Swales becoming manager again, on the basis that we had a good young team that he would be perfect to develop (Allison) compared to the "old team who weren't willing to work" he...

Anyone remember that game? Would we have gone up if we had won? How did we manage not to win it?

Any ideas on what kind of wage difference (over their City wages) these lads might have got from moving abroad :- Tueart at the Cosmos in 78 Watson in Germany (Bremen) in 79 Lots of players going to USA 80-82 (Donachie, Reid, Deyna, Steve Daley) Players going to Hong Kong (Tommy Hutch etc) -...

Which 4 City players (at some point) played for the now-defunct Bulova of HK?

Despite all the broohaha of John Bond's first season or so at City, by 2.5 years after his appointment we were down. It could be argued that we went full circle from 1979 to 1983 in that we started and ended with a very small squad of aging players. Part of this was spending 300k or so to bring...

We used 5 goalies (including unused subs) in that season. Can you name them?

These two seemed to score bags of goals in their first season and then were mysteriously let go and/or dropped permanently. Any idea what happened - or any other memories of them (how about Tolmie's freekick at Stamford Bridge!)
