  1. Who could forget Timmy Conway, Scatman Twine and Dire Mebude.
  2. Huddersfield are at home to Birmingham City next Saturday which could decide who drops down. The Terriers then face Ipswich away, while Brum host Norwich. A lot riding on all those games.
  3. Excellent performance today and deserved to win. Dickie was immense and Roberts too. Robbed by a poor refereeing decision, but Sykes and Twine should have scored.
  4. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!
  5. He did exactly the same thing against Watford at Vicarage Road.
  6. It was my first campaign watching City as a season ticket holder. Dad bought one instead of giving me pocket money. I was one proud and lucky 8 year old!
  7. HPC. Half. Pissed. on Courage.
  8. A useless bit of trivia. Playing for Portsmouth that night was an 18 year-old Chris Kamara.
  9. It's all true Graham. Cheese told me that Dicks stood in the dressing room before the Notts County game and suspicious of the look of his squad asked them something like; "have you lot been out drinking this week?" "No boss," was the collective feeble reply. City went on to lose 2-1.
  10. Well said. 92 posts so far, respect: https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=75450

  12. Aye. Anything to save Bernardo Silva from embarrassing himself again.
  13. https://talksport.com/football/1833524/fa-cup-replays-scrapped-changes/?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2024-04-18-Breaking-news- FA Cup replays have been scrapped from the first-round proper as part of wholesale changes to the competition. The current format, which has no replays from the fifth round onwards, has been extended throughout the ‘Competition Proper’ in light of changes to the calendar driven by the expanded UEFA competitions. The changes, which also include all rounds being played on weekends and a rescheduled final before the end of the Premier League season, will come into effect from next season and run for a minimum of six seasons. The Premier League has also agreed to pay up to an additional £33million for grassroots football. Chief executive of the FA, Mark Bullingham said: "The Emirates FA Cup is our biggest asset and generates over 60 per cent of our revenue to invest into the game, so it is critical to secure a strong format for the future. "This new agreement between the FA and the Premier League strengthens the Emirates FA Cup and gives this very special tournament exclusive weekends in an increasingly busy calendar. "The new schedule ensures the magic of the Cup is protected and enhanced, while working for the whole of the English game. The longer summer period also allows a much-needed player break before the start of the next season. "We have also agreed new funding for the grassroots game, disability football and the women’s and girls’ game. All football begins at the grassroots, and this is recognised by the Premier League with very welcome additional financial support." Premier League chief executive, Richard Masters, added: "The Premier League is proud of the investment it provides to all levels of the game and this new agreement with the FA will see us enhance our support into grassroots football. This will improve facilities for communities and lower league clubs across the country, through the Football Foundation and Premier League Stadium Fund. "Throughout our discussions, both parties have been committed to enhancing the scheduling of the Emirates FA Cup, a hugely important domestic competition with a storied history.
  14. Some acronyms work better than others.
  15. Luckily most games don't get 11 added minutes and good on you for travelling a long distance to attend AG. On a separate note, older fans (over the age of 45, I'm 56) may remember an evening FA Cup tie against Northampton in December in the mid 80's that was rescheduled to 7.00pm, so the City staff could attend their Christmas party.
  16. Sorry, its my bad sense of humour. It was like you were officially saying cheerio.
  17. Love to the family, Max. Love to the family.
  18. Why has virtually every thread turned into a "wedge issue"? Is this a City fans' forum or the Conservative Campaign Headquarters?
