  1. Great to start with a win. Well done. Good day to be a City supporter.
  2. Another great team performance. I know Tommy Conway got the man of the match, and I ain't gonna quibble, but I really don't want to pick anyone out - they were all superb. Onwards and upwards City.

  4. Great result following up on the 2-1 win at Burnley where Yeboah and Churchley scored.
  5. Owura Edwards has scored for 10 man Ross County who lead Kilmarnock 1-0
  6. I'll be (pleasantly) surprised if he's involved with the 1st team before February. Even if he's back and ready to go late December/early January I would expect a couple of run outs in the U21s first.
  7. They paid €452,022 to replace CF Reus Deportiu in Segunda B after they were relegated to the Tercel for non payment of their players. They are not the only club to have, advanced this way through the lower leagues in Spain. They are voluntarily affiliated to the Catalan Football Federation.
  8. You will never have consistency of refereeing across the EFL, the most you can ever hope for is consistency of a referee's decision during a match.
  9. I think you might be right. Some footballers, like people in other walks of life, are not entirely motivated by money. At this stage of his career he might well want to play for pleasure. I don't suppose he has a morrgage to worry about.
  10. Wilson for Sykes on Sunday and more of the same please.
  11. Great team performance where every player put a shift in. I think the red is a little harsh but its not worth appealing as its a close call that would likely see the equivalent of 'umpires call' in cricket. Clean sheet is a real bonus.
  12. For the first time in their history FC Andorra are playing in the Segunda in Spain. Interestingly they are owned by Gérard Pique. I wonder what the position would be should they gain promotion to La Liga and Gérard Pique remains a player at Barcelona.
  13. I see that former Blackburn Rovers, Burnley, Swansea, Bury and Hartlepool midfielder Lenny Johnrose has died from Motor Neurone Disease at just 52. Condolences to family, friends, his former clubs and their supporters.
  14. Let's return to the ball moving forward from a kick off. Push it forward to someone who tries to lob the keeper as they're usually way off their line at kick off. I hate this passing backwards nonsense.
  15. I heard nothing at the time and only know about it through reading the same report as you. Absolutely disgraceful. Pleased to report i didn't hear a sexist chant from the City fans at Wigan. Long may it continue.
  16. I want to keep him and we have a one year option so there's no rush. However, if he is going to go I hope the links with the three clubs are genuine and we can generate a bidding war.
  17. Oh for a return of the days when we all wrote proper English and not revert to text speak.
  18. He also picked up the Man of the Match award.
  19. The 'sending off that wasn't given' wasn't shown on the EFL on ITV4 tonight.
  20. Just got back from Wigan and another frustrating afternoon watching City. For the first 20 minutes we were brilliant, playing fast flowing football on the deck that ran Wigan ragged. We scored a good goal (Weimann 4 in 4), may have won a soft penalty and should certainly have seen Wigan down to 10 men. The refs decision was bizarre. If he didn't see it then it was nothing, if he did it was a stonewall red. What it wasn't was a yellow which is what he gave. We created other good situations withou testing the keeper. But after 20 minutes we stopped playing and handed the initiative back to Wigan,merely lumping the ball towards Martin who hardly won an aerial ball all game. But then that's not his strength as he wants the ball to feet to layoff. Apart from one header 2nd half when Conway should have scored we weren't in it and the inevitable equaliser, albeit a scrappy goal, came. Must do better.
  21. All the matches shown will feature Barca, Real or Atletico Madrid. So if you hoped for the Valencia v Villareal derby then you're out of luck. Once again English tv favours the priveleged few.
  22. I see that City's that match tickets for City U21s first 2 home fixtures at the HPC are available to ST holders on a first come first served basis. This is fine if you can get along but I also note that no City U21 fixtures will be streamed on Robins TV this season, not a service for those with a keen interest in our future.
  23. If you're there before kick-off look out for the partridges flying in to the ground.
  24. 2-1 up now. Second from Palmer-Houlden converting a penalty after he was brought down by their keeper.
