Offside

Cry, Cry, Cry - Johnny Cash

Williams and James were superb today and ran the midfield. Energetic performances from both of them. It’s been a long time since we dominated a game like we did today.

Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Our best performance for absolutely ages. It was great to see the players looking so up for it in an end of season game.

He was excellent today. Worked his socks off and showed his class too.

I’m looking forward to this game. Sunny weather, beer and hopefully a good performance and three points.

Sirens - Pearl Jam

Yes I remember that! From what I recall it was the first time we had the purple away shirt - and there were a few gasps because people thought it looked blue (me included)!

Sharp Edges - Linkin Park

The Woodpile - Frightened Rabbit

He was ok for us. When we released him last summer it felt like the time was right.

Walking Spanish - Tom Waits

This season has been a tough one. We had the long run of winless home games off the back of last season, the last minute goals we’ve conceded and some truly shocking performances. On the plus side there has been the emergence of some exceptional young players, and it’s been really pleasing to see how NP has been prepared to blood players from our youth ranks. Next season is an unknown quantity because we don’t know who will still be here. The financial position is concerning, and might force us to sell one of our starlets, and also it restricts what we can do in the transfer market. But actually that might be a positive after the huge amount of waste during the LJ/Ashton era when we seemed to sign an endless stream of average players. We are also finishing the season more strongly, so that gives cause for optimism too.

Forever Young - Bob Dylan

Rip It Up - Orange Juice

Verse Chorus Verse - Nirvana

Yep, same here. Easy process, no problems at all. Much easier than how it used to be done.

The Winner Takes It All - ABBA

Falls To Climb - R.E.M.

It’s completely understandable that players’ heads get turned when a premier league club comes calling, especially with the high wages. But I also think that players like Scott, Semenyo and Massengo benefit massively in terms of their development from the number of games they play, which might not be the case if/when they move.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - Simon and Garfunkel

Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) - Bob Dylan

Semenyo is such an exciting player - fast, skilful and powerful. He has huge potential and seems to have a good character too. Hopefully we’ll continue to see him in a City shirt.

In my 40 plus years as a City fan I can’t think of a harder-working or more professional player than Andi Weimann. He always runs himself into the ground, no matter what position he plays, and he will be remembered for years to come. And he is not just a work-horse either, he is a quality player. He deserves the glory of his 20 goal season.

Fantastic season from Weimann. I’m really pleased for him to have got the 20 goals.

Excellent win, and by two clear goals as well. It’s good to see us getting results like this as the season draws to a close. Hopefully that will breed confidence for the start of next season.
