Not like John McEnroe having a part in Ryan's daughter?

Sounds about right.

Didn't know that. I knew some of his family members who were all local

The big clubs can all seem to get away with it. How can it be that with all their breaches that Man City are not in League 2 by now?

We signed a few from Scotland - Gillies, Sweeney, Fitzpatrick spring to mind Merrick, Ritchie, Gow, Tainton, Rodgers, Whitehead all came through our youth setup. Not sure about Gary Colliers history offhand. Drysdale was actually a local lad who we signed from Hartlepool and Cheesley was signed for £30k from Norwich, though also a local lad. I remember signing Gould from Wolves, Hunt from Coventry, Cormack from Liverpool and Hunter from Leeds once we were in Div 1. We also signed Jon Shaw from Leeds. Can't believe my memory is still good enough to remember all this. Anyone else remember much about other players of that time.

If I remember correctly, Trevor Jacobs ran it for a few years and it was Ray Cashley's local. Am I correct?

A great night indeed and a great result, though it wasn't that great a game as far as I can remember. The only time I have ever set foot on the hallowed turf at AG and filled with excitement at the thought of what was coming next season. 3 generations of us watched the game from the grandstand (we normally stood in the uncovered end in those days).

Nowrich have a lot to play for and we don't. However our players should be playing for their shirt and a place in Mannings starting line up for next season. I can't think of any who are getting shipped out though there are one or two out of contract in the summer. Not sure how attacking or defensive we will set up, though having Dickie back should be a plus (I think Vyner may still be sidelined). A flight to Barcelona to watch the game on RobinsTV is going to be a lot quicker than travelling to the actual game and probably a bit cheaper too.

I read somewhere that the average number of bums on seats is 20% lower than the number of tickets sold. 6,526 minus 20% = 5,220. Surely they have more bums than that.

What can he say? I've lost interest in BCFC and left it to Crayon Boy to run (and he's more interested in being a fake playboy). I'm more interested in the rugby now. Anyone who disagrees with us shall be sacked irrespective of what the fans think. We are not interested in fans, only interested in paying customers. There is no transfer budget. I've put as much money into the club as I am going to and won't put in a penny more. I would like to get rid of the football club but can't find anybody to pay my extortionate asking price. Unlikely he will tell us any of this, but which of the above are untrue?

His arms were out and it was a penalty in my biased view, but in reality, I've seen as many similar examples waived away as often as given. TBH we have had much clearer penaly shouts including several stone wall pens turned down in the last couple of years. I did like the fact that Rebecca wouldn't stand for professional fouls and waived a yellow for all of them right from the start. Much better ref than most of the blokes I've seen officiating down here lately.

Might take him on a 1 year contract as a free transfer at 15k per week, but neither Burnley or Twine will accept that, so it's bye bye at the end of the season I think unless we are in the market to waste our money. If we have seen what he can do whilst playing for a contract, I can't imagine we would see anything better having signed one.

Evil Post reports that the planned redevelopment of the Minimal will provide a capacity of around 18,000. Can someone tell me what the point of that is when you have less than 8,000 fans?

Some quick fixes for City would be to take quick throw ins and free kicks before the opposition have have a chance to set up for them. I think Max also has to release the ball more quickly and he has an excellent throw on him.

Which City are we going to see against The Terriers tomorrow? The City that just annihilated Blackburn or the Manningball City we have seen of late? Huddersfield are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference so will be playing for their survival and I am not sure which team we will be putting out or what they will actually be playing for other than new contracts and places in the starting 11. A repeat of the Blackburn game will suit me fine, but I would be surprised if Huddersfield were as bad as they were.

Odds on a Sammy Szmodics hat-trick tonight? I hope not as the chances of us scoring four are minuscule.

I suppose Wally knows that planning permission needs to be granted before they start building it. Didn't they forget about that before the last one. Perhaps the rules are different for pikey camps?

Wondering how many of us will be going down tonight for what is effectively a dead rubber for us, though Blackburn are too close to the drop zone for comfort. A few won't be bothered to go to a midweek end of season game where we have little more than pride to play for, but fans are feeling a bit more positive after netting 7 points from the last 9. I can't see too many Blackburn fans making the trip either. Anyone got the ticket sales figures as we normally get 20,000+ for most games these days, even though the real 'bums on seats' figures are probably nearer to 15/16k on occasions.

Well done Reading.

Being only 4 points off the drop zone, I'm expecting Blackburn to come here and park the bus for 90 mins and might even get a goal against the run of play. We will probably have 70%+ posession and be unable break them down. My money is on a boring nil nil draw. On the other hand, as we have nothing to play for, other than to perhaps sell a few more season tickets, we might go completely against the grain and try to play some attacking entertaining football, but I wouldn't put money on it as it doesn't mention playing that way in the FW coaching handbook. The only certainty is that we will bring on substitutes at 60 minutes irrespective of whether we need them after 20 minutes, 45 minutes or not at all because it does say that in the FA coaching handbook. I am a little concerned that our back line looked a little shaky without Rob Dickie last time out, so not sure if that can be fixed - perhaps by swapping Roberts and Pring. Who do you play up front? Conway, Wells or both of them?

Do you think we might see Mebude today or was he just signed to make up the numbers and waste a wage on?

If we can beat Leicester and beat Plymouth, then we ought to be able to beat Sunderland. That probably means that we are going to lose then.

Are you sure that's not what they are using for the team bus? Sorry, meant to be quoting the horsebox picture

Perhaps the loan was a pay per minute played deal and after forking out £44 we didn't want to pay any more. Seriously though, it does look like a very odd signing. Possibly not fit enough for the championship or not showing any desire or commitment in training.
