London can be a shithole – just as anywhere else can. But it can be okay. What's certain is that it's expensive.* * Came down to London from the north west over 20 years ago during the last recession.

That's the only 'tribe' I really ever feel part of. If you insist on a musical affinity, well, I have catholic tastes, from classical on. But I remain very fond of synth pop, from Kraftwerk to Ultravox to OMD.

Nice one.

~~LOL~~

I'd go with that – but then for a bit of fun, why not the 'Trautmann Bell Arena'?

OMG ... I really had managed to put that to the back of my mind. ~~LOL~~

'Lie'?

Over two seasons, having finally got the money to do so, I decided to have named shirts. The first one was the purple away one from two seasons ago and, since we'd didn't k now, at the time, who was coming or going, I had 'Sven' on the back. We all know what happened there. But then, last...

I'm afraid the 'best' one is the ability of the heterosexual English man to think that sex constitutes a couple of minutes fumbling foreplay, two minutes actual penetrative sex and then a roll over into a snoring state within 60 seconds, leaving the woman with a wet patch and no satisfaction.

Other than City – cooking, reading, writing, photography, sex and collecting Prussian military memorabilia.

Re: Tonight's stay aways should hang their heads.... Perhaps it's a sort of advance response to bandwagon-jumping? If (taking nothing for granted) we become successful, will it be a case of some people feeling a need to prove that they're 'real' fans etc?

~~LOL~~

Quite possibly. Particularly if I could convince The Other Half to get a job up north too. And I'm sure that's possible – not least since we have discussed it in the past.

Re: Dear Kiam... I have to be in Brighton from Saturday until Tuesday for work. To refuse would cost me money and, as I'm freelance, quite possibly my job. I'll try to get the hotel bar to put it on, though.

Re: Tonight's stay aways should hang their heads.... Taking at least a full day's unpaid leave, at short notice and in a particularly busy period, is (unfortunately) a valid reason. Of course, you personally could just have cough up the £175 I'd have lost from taking at least a day off work...

Have to agree with this. I don't like slagging off our players, but fair criticism is a different thing. For whatever reason Micah has been under-performing for some time. What was perhaps more worrying on Sunday was his contribution to the opening Rag goal, on the grounds that he seemed to have...

Put you off your stride, do they? I have one (it's okay, it's not on my back ;-) ), but I won't have a City one because I have a superstitious level of belief that it will somehow jinx them (just as I won't have any more named shirts because it seems to have jinxed those thus 'honoured').

Many, many times it's been said that it's the teams that can grind out victories in dour games, when they're not playing particularly well, that win things in the end – ie actual silverware. This was the case last night. We ground out a result. But anyone who has watched the Blues over the...

Yes! This one! Oh, and a nice little job in the press office – I have all the appropriate experience!

And it becomes a vicious circle – if he's over-training and not allowing himself to rest and recover fully, then any such knocks won't heal properly, while he'll also make himself susceptible to further problems.
