Sweeneys Penalties

the manager of possibly the most entertaining and winning City team I've seen in my lifetime. An absolute Legend. Without wishing to water down that comment, yes Osman's football was the polar opposite, but David Russe gave him about 20p to spend...and still wanted change

have we ever really done much in the January window? I keep hearing its a notoriously difficult time to do business

Oh this made me smile. I think we should all go to Derby with a "Popodopolous" Flag in an "I'm Spartacus" fashion. That should keep the natives restless

4 double-barrelled surnames in the starting 11. How times change. Double-barrelled surnames were a rarity when I was a kid

good player in his time at The Gate.

Not Guilty - excellent. More humour in the mail then

as Paul Cook and Ipswich Town go their separate ways Paul Cook: Ipswich Town sack boss after nine months at League One club - BBC Sport

even the Derby forum claim it's embarrassing - particularly Ebosele

My sister used to have Whizzer and Chips (which I used to nick before she got to it) and I had Shoot! Light fingered Larry 'ere wasn't averse to wandering off with a Look In, Topper, Beezer, Dandy, Beano or whatever other mag came withing touching distance in them days.

oh Wow! I had nothing to do tomorrow morning....I do now. Set orf to BS3. Taints, Cheese, Sween and Tom. What a shame Gerry Gow (my late fathers favourite player) cant be there due to the fact he's in the same place as my Dad).

Shoot! Blimey. League Ladders, George Best column, Bobby Moores column, "you are the ref". It was a great mag in the 70's

Has he been found Guilty yet?

not my favourite paper, but... Joey Barton assault trial: Coach 'found boss lying bloodied in tunnel' (msn.com)

In answer to the thread title "This club has no business in the Championship" I disagree. City were promoted here on merit with Cotts at the helm. City were rightfully a Championship Club.....not a particularly good one at present, but nonetheless, by hook or by crook, still a Championship Club, and one that is likely to be so at the start on next season. I read Nige's comments about not wanting luxury players, so we can all make solid guesses at who he would like to ship out. Any imports he makes are likely to be grafters (and that is what he wants). The January transfer window will tell many tales....and Nige's future in BS3 may well depend on it

No way before that. Old Division 3 iirc

If I was Bakes I'd be seriously considering all my injuries and the impact on to my long term health. I wish the bloke well.

I remember Owls fans stranded in the ground at HT during a Blizzard at AG years ago

that must be very painful

Have good memories of Bramall Lane, having lived and worked there for a while. I had a flat near the Blades Ground and certainly wasn't averse to ambling down the hill on matchday to sit in The Kop End. Enjoyed the City and a decent set of fans to boot.

He's beginning to remind me of Roland Rat

Has he threatened anyone on the Jury yet?

Fair enough. The benefits of watching the game with concentration all over the place whilst having Covid. My bottle of choice tonight is a bottle of Kombucha

Got bored of hearing how young Tyman is (he's 22 btw). Have they done any homework on the team in Red?

No idea but remember Joe Royle having a carnival of his own on his debut against Middlesbrough when he netted 4

him and Psycho were a terrific partnership
