Yes strange old trip that one. Walking to the ground a single fan had got split up from his mates, and got attacked in the subway. Ironically, from memory, he was not a blue but went along with his blue mates for the trip. Once in the ground, hooch was getting passed across to City fans from...

Where is the fun in not completely destroying yourself?? Go fast, get yourself in the pain cave as soon as possible and then suffer for the remaining 40 minutes. Then let yourself go and celebrate with a couple of celery and carrot sticks.

Dorking Trail (Surrey hills) Half Marathon tomorrow, hoping the weather ‘improves’ as it is far too hot at the minute. All week my running has been off, so not expecting a good race. Legs felt like lead weights at run club on Tuesday so day off Wednesday and then on Thursday had to stop on a...

Yes I agree about the AM roles the likelihood is they would all be superior but not sure how realistic getting one of those players is (except Olmo) and the cost could be prohibitive impacting on other transfer plans. Furthermore we have a number of options in those areas, but with Haaland if he...

Alvarez is by no means the perfect player but not many sides have a squad player as good as him and who can perform in a number of positions. If we can bring someone in better than him who is happy to play second fiddle to Haaland fair enough but at the moment I think we’re fortunate having a...

Losing 4-0 at West Brom under Keegan when it appeared we had no chance of getting promoted. Hard to believe, that day, we would go on to have such an incredible season and go up as champions.

Yes that was some disappointment. Massive following, great atmosphere and the more chances we missed (or the more times we hit the woodwork) the more inevitable the defeat became. Digging out the keeper Steve Cherry?? for his weight certainly came back to bite us and Tommy Johnson was electric...

Yes went to that as well and then headed over to Blackburn afterwards who were facing Leeds. The gulf in standard felt enormous. The only thing I remember about the match was the bloke on the tannoy announcing a Blackpool sub and he called him the ‘wonderboy, cue ironic cheering from the City...

Be interesting to see how he develops and where he is this time next year. I did not know that much about him until our trip to Selhurst Park and he really stood out that day. Seeing him live, his positioning, desire for the ball, control etc was really impressive.

Think he is more polished than Dembele ever was but Sane is a fair comparison as I thought he had the world at his feet and his ceiling was also ridiculously high. Either way we spent 55 million euros on Nunes last summer and so it hardly seems a gamble in comparison. Worst case scenario we...

Yes unpredictable I agree but I reckon, and this is only a hunch, when we look back in 10 years Neco Williams career will have outstripped those as players. Not often you get the chance to pick someone up like him at a decent fee, should snap their hand off.

Fair question and I am only really judging him on these euros but he just looks like he has it all as a player and at the price, and the ceiling he has as a player, I think you just have to make it work. Danny Olmo for me is a very good player but Neco Williams looks like potentially he could...

As a kid I remember Phil Babb having a great World Cup. I’m in the undecided camp on this one. Clearly a very talented player but If we had a chance of the two I would be spending the money on Neco Williams personally. Of course if KDB or Bernardo decided to move on prioritise might change...

Yes I think it is. Also not watching the kilometres being ticked off every 4/5/6 minutes I reckon is tough mentally because tiredness will still kick in early, so facing another say 10 hours must be hard to get your head around. Such great training though, just tough to commit the time. I will...

Yes tremendous. We could all learn a few life lessons from Ryley.

At 48 years of age a lot of games blur into the memory but quite a few, because of Kinky, from that era I can remember like it was yesterday. Great memories, thanks Georgiou.

Well done mate, great effort especially with the hills involved although I appreciate that was not the primary motive. Very true about the walking, no idea why but a 10k run seems much easier than a 10k walk. I keep saying I need to get out walking long distances more, for time on feet, but...

Sorry been out of the running thread today loop of late so only just seen this. Just donated and hope the run went well.

It’s a great point that or another year at Leicester on loan. My preferred option would be to start giving these young players a chance to impress here though, esp after doing so well out on loan.

They might be diverse but I wonder what policies and candidates have attracted them to vote for Reform? I live in an affluent area and many went and voted Reform (but the Tory’s still got in). The policies of hate and division are not specific to one demographic group as I see very little else...
