Was dog rough that day and headed to Brighton without a ticket. Luckliy managed to pick one up and was in the home end in the stand opposite the City fans. One of a group of mates had sold the ticket, so I was pretty much rumbled from the start. Quite rightly these lads were proper cheesed off...

It was not greta defending.

Just added another 10.5 miles today. Feeling it now but been a good weekend of running. Great running conditions so took advantage before the inevitable happens.

Thanks @Blue5964 for bringing back a happy memory. Forgot about that post/picture.

Great to hear mate. Nothing better than seeing dogs playing together. My retreiver passed away, aged 3, in August and it is one of the things I miss seeing the most. Still recovering from the loss although we have a wonderful rescue from Spain now.

After a great start to my running in January a trip to Madrid resulted it me being laid low after picking up some kind of virus and the inevitable chest infection. So sadly two steps forward snd three steps back but this week I have started running again regularly, at a slow pace, with no ill...

Stunning. Such wonderful dogs and beautiful temperaments Golden Retreiver’s.

Just donated mate. Hope you reach your target and Oak is bounding around as soon as possible. All the best.

We have seen Nunes and Kovacic alongside Rodri of late and if that becomes the norm then it has to be a three of Foden/Bernardo and KDB, with variation provided by Doku for the worst of the bus parkers. Tough on Jack but he has got to win that trust again I think with Pep.

I keep thinking he must be responding to someone else, no idea where he is coming from. Anyway back to the football.

Ha, go and have a green tea and calm yourself down. Nothing you have said has any connection with what I have written. You’re ranting about absolutely nothing.

Yes, the media, football clubs, managers and the all encompassing nature of Champions Lge qualification and the pot of gold. Also I do think over saturation has played a part. I remember how exciting it was to watch the highlights of the cup tie v QPR when Ray Ranson made his second debut and...

Completely agree about our away fans. The support has always been up there, both in terms of numbers and noise, with the very best. Bristol away in the cup last year was a case in point. There owns fans stated we had the best away following they had seen in 25 years. I think its more a...

That is a very valid point. No doubt it resulted in the highs feeling that bit sweeter. Funny though I would struggle to remember any quarter final victory on the way to our fa cup victories but I still regularly think about losing to Spurs in 93.

Yes not knocking them, it just seemed the whole ground was involved that day. Not just smaller sections and the ground seemed to have a much larger percentage of younger fans.

I was born 2 months after the 76 cup final. My dad went to the 81 final, and made sure my mum sat me in front if the tele, but I cannot sadly remember it. Even relegation in 83, I cannot remember. But I have just got lost in my local woods today so Im clearly not the sharpest tool, which sort...

Yeah its funny because I never really noticed it until I started secondary school. The part of Hyde I lived was a staunch blue area but going to school in another town you then noticed you were part of the minority. Late 80, early 90s we were struggling to match Oldham fans, who defected from...

Yes, I dont think you are far off there but I would say late 40s than mid 50s. I always remember a newspaper article circa 1998/99 describing us as a club ‘for the lads’ as most of our fanbase appeared to be early/mid 20s. I think that resulted in us, during our darkest hour, having a very...

Yes I think mid 40s is the sweetspot for misery supporting City. Born the year of the league cup final and too young to remember the 81 final, all we had was a few crushing quarter final cup defeats up to our mid 30s.

I think Pep alluded to it last week, when Xavi announced he was leaving, about how the pressures are much worse in Spain and that will be mainly down to the press and peoples insatiable appetite for news on Barca and Madrid. Its why I think Pep will never go back there and as he has also...
