No place for Paddy Fagan or Johnny Crossan or Cliff Sear or Bobby Kennedy?

Anyone who books into a hotel physically connected to a football stadium and then goes on to complain about the noise from a football match is obviously deranged. I knew someone who was always moaning about noise from his neighbours in a very studenty part of Edinburgh. He subsequently...

City certainly played with five forwards up to around 1969 but subsequently after Coleman departed, the number 11 shirt was sometimes occupied by a midfielder such as Dave Connor or Ian Bowyer or Tony Towers rather than a traditional left-winger.

Last season it was eticket for City and paper for Sheffield United.

I saw four blades of grass once. One by each corner flag.

I don't think that it is possible to make direct comparisons between players today and those of 25 years ago let alone 50 years back. It is a totally different game. In the 1960s, a lot of players were essentially part-time, even many in the top two divisions. Current players are far fitter and...

I am no so much sure that it was lack of thought, but rather changing plans for what the stadium should be developed and look like. When the North Stand was built, most assumed that would be the pattern for the full development of the stadium. Then a year later seats were installed. In the end...

The greatest ever all-English line up-up for City has to be from the 1960s. Mulhearn (or Dowd) Book, Doyle, Heslop, Oakes, Pardoe, Summerbee, Bell, Lee, Young, Coleman

David Wagstaffe who was my favourite City player when I started watching in 1963. There were rumblings from the city Board that some would go through losses incurred. Every Christmas I was dragged to Shropshire by my parents. I would usually get the bus to Molineaux to watch a Wolves match for...

Best of luck trying to frame legislation to deal with that.

You obviously don’t know anything of the RyanAir dynamic pricing model. That is what they have always done and always will do.

The problem with fixed limits like that is that it will prevent any challenge to the existing order. No updating for inflation will make it harder and harder for any team to break into the elite group. For many years, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea locked out the top four. That gave...

Come off it. They were taken over by a delusional chancer with no money who financed the running of the club by mortgaging future season ticket income. They had been overspending for years and eventually it caught up with them. The club was liquidated. It ceased to exist. That was before the...

Wrong. BSB were later merged with Sky to form BSkyB and had no prior connection with Sky. Sugar's company Amstrad made satellite dishes for Sky. ITV submitted the highest bid to screen Premier League football. Sugar was chair of Tottenham then and on the PL management committee. He leaked the...

Yes as Harry McGuire will be guaranteed to start. Maybe Phil Foden will get a rest with Jordan Henderson in the squad?

I have not had to wait for more that ten minutes from arrival at the gate before getting a tram in the last two years. I do have a priority tram season card mind.

I think he meant hysterical clubs?

Are you sure you got the spelling of cult right?

Why are you slagging Cole Palmer? He never wanted to leave City but Pep wouldn’t guarantee him the playing time he was looking for. He went on to Chelsea and good luck to him. City received a decent transfer fee. City have lost many other good players in recent years including Jason Sancho...

Reading some of the deluded comments on this thread, I thought I had stumbled into conspiracy theory.com.
