Well this is the first match of the season where we could, officially, be saying 'hasta la vista' to our half a decade or so stint in the Championship. It has had its ups and its downs but its been a roller coaster blast. We will be back to grace the division again perhaps as early as the autumn of 2014. I hope we give a good account of ourselves this evening and indeed in the remaining fixtures; it would be nice if we could battle until the last even if it means we avoid ending up in last place. I am not even going to try and predict tonights result; I cannot imagine for one moment what is going on inside the 11 players' heads who will take to the pitch. They could freeze or they could play with total abandon and smash the blues back to brum so that we live for another day in what is, for me, the most exciting league in the world. Come on City... give it all you got and provide us with a performance to rock the roof off.

The proprietor of this establishment in Sutherland, Scotland, is a big City fan. That is according to a Wolf who works for the proprietor, a Mr. David Hook. I have also had it verified by the hotel. It could get interesting this evening on a wind swept coast. So, when anyone is next in the far reaches of this pleasant land and I do mean the far reaches overlooking the Solway Firth, do frequent his establishment; I intend doing so. Perhaps even a City v Cally supporters friendly sometime.

Not really.. Trotters and Wed lost, two others won and the rest drew. We are 1 pt more adrift; nothing to be more alarmed about this morning than last night before kick off given the opposition. Immensely encouraging for my money that we not only contained but dominated a team in the pray offs. They had not one shot on target if the stats are correct. Sure we did not manage to finish it off with a goal but that happens to the best of teams. At least we were not Mancunians last night.

Quite satisfied with that result. Nice to wake up to a clean sheet and a point. Predicted a 2-2 so this is marginally better. We are still in touch and 10 games to go.

To be fair, has there been a set of program notes yet from Sean that have not impressed? I really look forward to reading his program notes after each match and more than most managers I can remember at BCFC. The man has a very good command of English and an excellent way of articulating his views.

sank u sir.

21/10 for a City home win or 6/5 for a Brighton win away. We have not beaten them since our League 1 days. 3 losses since they were promoted so its about time we beat em and beat em good. I'll say this could be an end to end game and go for 2-2.

I like the fact a lot more teams are now dragged into the mix. plenty of time to sort this out. I feel a couple of loanies at the back might be needed though.

Bit of an exaggeration looking at the facts. Very tough to pull out but its far from being close to a miracle to do so.

Always thought Freedman was gonna be way out of his depth at Bolton. Like most of these newish gaffers who jump ship after a mild bit of success.. they see the money, the greed kicks in and then they fall flat on their face. A bit less hubris me thinks would not go amiss. So there is another team in the drop mix; consider the fact that with lower placed clubs winning it brings far more teams into the mix and despite our loss today we have time to get out of it and there are more teams being dragged into trouble. Going to be an exciting end to the season at least.

my glass is always half full.

errr that would be a no.

Thursday, wow,... thats really unusual.

Realllieeeeeee.... how interesting.
