    I love the bloke and think we're so lucky to have him here. I wanted him to replace Johnson

    I think it's easy for outsiders (and some fellow fans) to look at league positions and think not much has changed, but the few games I went to last year were some of the best City games I've seen since the Playoff Season and the Cup run season. Even the games we lost (Norwich) or threw away late on (Blackpool) were entertaining games and I felt it was worth the money.

    I wanted him to replace SC!  There was a game live on sky I think and they showed that NP was in the crowd and I think coming in then with that strong of players would have been great

    My memories on Fb from this day in 2012 show we played them and beat them 3-0, however the interesting thing is the comment I made that they had their stadium approved before us, so I assume that's referring to the UWE?

    And playing with a wooden leg ( sorry, no offence to any amputees out there)

    I used to work with a women with a prosthetic leg, and she would tell us that she would book extra leg room seats on a flight, which I could never quite work out as she was only 5ft tall!

    I strongly suspect the Mayor will just wave this through retrospectively.

    The new stand won't increase their capacity by so much that parking/amenities will be adversely affected, surely? And although it's a bigger tent than the one its replacing, I don't think it will impact the houses behind that much - and I'm not sure that's even still a thing these days, "right to light" being a thing of the past (I think).    

    Re: right to light no longer being a thing, does that mean we could build a bigger stand to replace the Atyeo?  I always thought the issue was right to light?

  15. Benik Afobe interview

    It's amazing how unsympathetic some people can be and not just football.

    My father in law in 2015 out of the blue got a brain tumour stage 4 and had 6 months tops, I started a new job in the middle of this and my manager was fully aware of the situation.  When he died we knew it was imminent so I WFH for a few days so I could be there for my wife.  

    After he died (on the Monday that week) I called my manager an hour or so after after to say I wouldn't be in the rest of the week as my wife needed me, and I assumed I would get compassionate leave, and instead my manager was annoyed and she said to me that he's not close family so I will have to take the time as unpaid. I said I'll take it as sick instead, and she said you will need a sick note, I said i didn't as I can self certify for 7 days, and she hung up the phone on me without replying!  This was a few hours after I was there when he died, after 6 months of watching him die.  Terrible management and this was working for one of the biggest financial organisations in the Uk so it was no impact on her or the business!

    As I’m sure many on here know, he was married to Lesley Crowther’s daughter - LC used to star in Crackerjack with Peter Glaze.

    LC used to live in Corston, near Bath (not Wiltshire), and I had the pleasure of meeting them all one afternoon at the village fête.

    He really was a very friendly and approachable young man, not at all like his stage image, as, indeed, was LC, but he (Phil L) was so obviously very high on something.

    A very enjoyable afternoon, though.

    Random but my mates first girlfriend was PL's daughter, my mate went to a boys school in Bath and she went to a Girls school in Bath,

    No thread on this yet?

    Bit disappointing as this was one I really wanted to go to but couldn’t get tickets, one of my best mates is Maltese and we all went out on a football trip a few years back. Great place for a “lads” trip that’s less common than the usual.

    No Man City players starting tonight, punishment or just additional rest as their season finished later?

    Interesting to see Trent looking like he’s in a midfield role from the line up I’ve seen.

    Cant see past a big win for England here

    I didn't know it was on until this morning when I saw the score!

    Reminds me of the Kaiser, I've just finished the book and there is also a doc.  He was a professional footballer who never played a game, but got signed to various clubs based on fraud, and also his willingness to set up players and owners with women!  Very interesting story, some clubs even signed him twice and he played for all the top Brazilian teams
