Heard a rumour from a credible source at the time that his disappearance from the team for a period was due to errmmmm an internal test for his extra curricular hobbies, taken out the firing line ifI don't think he really got a fair crack of the whip with us Bianchi.
Anyone remember the Terry Waite joke when he was released from his 4-year capacity and the first thing he said was “has Adrian Heath scored yet?”…?Adrian Heath
Bianchi looked fantastic in that first match at West Ham.Maybe not completely shit, but i personally love Rolando Bianchi. Had a good time at Torino after us, but wasn't great for us in a shit team.
I liked Peter Reid and whilst I agree with your thoughts on what could have been if Swales took his fat fingers out of his pocket and spent some more money I question how good a manager he really was. He went to Sunderland and did quite good but I think that was his level.Deserved far better did Peter. Last manager to have us finishing above those rag twats before Mancini. With the right signings we could have gone into that following season and pushed for top 3, who knows what would have happened in the first Prem season.
It's why I laugh at rags saying we've always been shit. We were finishing above you in 1991 you daft twats, and if it wasn't for that absolute wankstain Swales it could have been us mopping up the TV money and trophies a couple of years later
I know he's dead and all but Peter Swales can get to fuck, and when he's got there, he can get to fuck some more
Steve Redmond was City's youngest ever captain when he played. He was 22/23 when he was given the captaincy. I don't think he was a shit player. He was part of the FA cup winning youth team that contained the likes of David White, Paul Lake, Ian Brightwell, Ian Scott and Paul Moulden. The base for a really good team was there but somehow ruined.Ended up as a wagon driver for travis Perkins, not shite but not great neither
Gareth Barry had no need to ‘slide into tackles’; as he was a quality player and an excellent reader of the game.He was a very limited footballer that allowed Yaya to move further up the pitch.
He was our hard man, which the fans love.
Gareth Barry did far more as our DM, but never got the cult hero status that NDJ did as he didn’t slide into tackles.
Sounds like some of Little and Large's finest work :)Anyone remember the Terry Waite joke when he was released from his 4-year capacity and the first thing he said was “has Adrian Heath scored yet?”…?

Barry was great for us, also didnt seem to pick up many injuries. His replacement Fernandinho was also a great signing.Gazbaz was fantastic, as you say could read the game better than anyone and he needed to as had the turning pace of a truck. Also, he was amazing at the dark arts, tactical fouls, and seemed to get away with an almost trademark “accidental” handball nearly every single game. Great player. Would have been lorded in Italy.
Sibierkski had a 50p headAntoine Sibierski, had a great debut on his debut in a 3-0 opening day win at Charlton playing just off Anelka but as soon as Fowler was available then Sibierski's role changed which saw him move onto wing under Pearce despite being one of our best headers at the time
I thought Tony Vaughan was a City fan as a kidany shit player who wore our blue shirt and showed some pride, gave everything on pitch, regardless of them having a good game or not, i loved them, they were living my dream of playing on our hallowed turf.
But, i just remembered tony fookin vaugh, man ushited fan, fook me i don't think that twats own mother loved him
Yup Reddo was a great lad for us and a fine young skipperVery harsh. Cant agree with this. Redmond was solid for seasons. Youngest ever captain too
Kiki Musampa.
Probably because of his brother Chris.
