I’ve lost a huge amount of respect for him after watching that interview.

Embarrassing to watch.Just adds insult to injury.

Yep.

We gave it a proper go rather than sitting back and hoping they didn't score. I'd rather lose this way than any other. 

Thought we were brilliant. Kalas in particular was a rock against a world cup winner and two of the best wingers in the world.

We deserved a goal tonight, I thought. 

Absolutely.Deserved to score.

Bob Taylor for me. His departure still hurts. 

Same here. Losing him so cheaply and then watching him bang in the goals for West Brom didn’t help.

I remember one bit of skill he did on the right wing, left back running towards him about to foul him. Jacki with his back to the full back just flips the ball over his head. Absolutely brilliant bit of skill  it was worth the admission fee alone.

Didn’t he do something similar to that at home to Ipswich or was that the game you’re referring to. Can’t remember??

Both games.The Steve Neville winner in the second leg still sticks in the mind.One of those special moments because it was so close to the final whistle.

Another great away day that springs to memory was Leyton Orient away in the snow (lots of it) on the choo choo City special back in the 80s. It was the only game on in London and had several different football club fans there to watch the game, Swindon also.

The choo choo was a Royal Mail Post train with next to no seats. Freezing cold but great fun back in the day. Think we won if memory serves me right?

I remember that game.Just missed the Special and travelled up separately. Got in the ground for kick off and at that time there were only about 40 City fans in there. After about 10-15 minutes hundreds from the Special turned up.Great atmosphere from then on.I think Alan Walsh scored from the spot in a 1-0 win.

We are Red,we are White,we are fxxxing dynamite.

He looks a good prospect to me clearly not the finished article but the potential is clearly there.

It was a cracking tackle. It got the crowd up and sent out a statement that we’re not going to make it easy for you. Such a difference to last year.

Keith Walwyn - he was a fantastic player at the lower levels - 119 goals in 245 games for York. Tragically died at the age of 47...

They’re really impressive figures. Sad to hear that he’s passed.

I was in the enclosure that night.The crowd were well up for it and the players responded. 1-0 up in the first half, but I do remember second half that York had a few chances and I think it was their striker Keith Walwyn that  threatened a couple of times?

I thought it was a cross shot in front of the East End?

Yes,You’re right.Shot not header, time plays tricks.

One of the greatest nights ever! Top of the table clash vs York - forget the ‘easy to support’ games such as Liverpool away in ‘94, the league cup semis vs Spurs, Forest and Man City etc etc - this was pivotal in our history - we were climbing out of the mire of 1982 and we found ourselves locked in a top of the table battle with York City.

We were in the bottom division and we faced them at home in a midweek game - it attracted a five figure crowd, in the basement division! 10,837 - the gas would kill for a crowd number like that right now!

Everyone who was anyone back then turned up, the (original and incomparable) East End was packed and we got behind the boys non stop, it was deafening, a zillion times better and louder than our home games are now - and we dicked York 1-0 - another huge part of our journey back under Lord Terence Cooper.

Those are the nights I remember with real and fierce affection; not the boring, tedious recent ones like scraping a 1-0 against 9 man Rotherham....

I know the current climate allows more opportunities for real thought and reflection, but I do so, so miss those glorious times from 1982 to 1988 under Terry Cooper - special, special memories and a fantastic period in which to follow the boys in red ... I’ll never forget them, a crucial and brilliant part of our history ...

Great memories, I think Paul Stevens scored the winner with a header in that game?
