Only saw him once I think, playing for Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in 1991. He was still a player at 36/37 (ish). Condolences to his family and friends.

Will we get to 100 pages before he goes……?

Probably before we receive a 2nd offer.....

Nice piece on the Chelsea website

Sleep well Chris, and thanks for everything you did and the sacrifices you made for City.

Flashback for the Fans link attached for those in a nostalgic mood.

So don’t sell then, reassess next year 

January I reckon. Won't wait until next summer, unless Alex signs a new contract with a release clause (assuming our valuation isn't met this summer)

Not a chance.

Would hope not. Didn't specify if this was exclusive of sell ons. If there isn't the interest and our valuation isn't met let's hope we can keep him. 

However if Alex has his head turned.....

Alex Crook on Talksport indicating that he feels Bournemouth will get him for about £18m as there isn't the interest that City were hoping for from other clubs. 

Keeper kits out!

The full moon is calling, the fever is high, and the wicked wind whispers and moans, you got your demons, you got desires, well I've got a, few of my own. 

Gotta love an Eagles reference!

Wilson gone to Derby

If not going for longevity, surely Neves and Jota at Wolves must be in the conversation.

I agree in principle, but remeber those replays at Leeds in 74 and Liverpool 94?

It amused me at the time (late 80's / early 90's) when Arsenal and Liverpool played each other four times (replays of drawn replays) for the right to play Oldham in the next round of the League Cup.

I recall a 4 match marathon with Aldershot in the late 80's.....Carl Shutt eventually killing them off and securing us a tie away to Hartlepool....which we lost!

60% of the time, it works everytime 

Great player. I'm sure he got sent off for us against Barnsley new years day 1991 in a 2 nil defeat? Anyone else remember as I do?

Lost another fellow red last night my grampy. Peter Stone he sat in the lansdown with his wife mavis and before that in the Williams stand, I have so many memories of going to football with him. He will be up there with more fellow reds who have passed away R.I.P Grampy.

So sorry for your loss. Sleep well fellow Red

Kasey warming up  to score the winner?

Or not track a Luton runner leading to a CCFC disaster! I like KP and hope this doesn't happen!

Mowbray apparently under threat of being sacked by Sunderland. Bloody madness. But if I was chairman of a championship club I'd be after Mowbray if he became available. 

Premier League football finally comes to Ashton Gate!

Holden was more like 8 shots a game, and in Johnson's final season we averaged just over 10 a game, which is pretty much the same as we've averaged under Pearson.

We just generally have been shot shy for years now. This season we're 5th lowest in the division for number of shots, 7th lowest last season, season before that we finished last and actually broke the record (by some margin) for the lowest number of shots in a season.

It's a perennial theme and has flowed through multiple managers.

Fair enough. Didn't recall it being that many under previous managers but I haven't checked the stats.

Yes, conversation rates are down.

But 106 shots in 10 games. Really does reflect the work that Nige and the coaches have put in and how they have made this team more pleasant to watch. And if we're making chances at least we're likely to be more competitive.

Under Holden (and the final 12 months or so of LJ) we were lucky if we had 3 shots a game.

Joe Jordan! If caretaker positions count!

That Liam Robinson would finish the season top goal scorer!

He would have if we'd only played Peterborough
