  1. In the 80's the majority of teams played 442. I remember TC signing two quality players in the lower leagues that did nothing for us, Jimmy Harvey and Tony Caldwell. I guess what I'm saying is you don't always get it right when recruiting. Hopefully a good pre season will do Cornick well.
  2. I had a Xmas bet years ago having a Xmas £100 bonus from work. Cardiff were playing Stockport on a Friday night. Cardiff were on a bad run so were 11/10. Stupidly I put in a 5 match accumulator with them in it for another £100. I remember that I had us to draw with Luton and Liverpool v Everton to draw the last match to win the bet, this was on a Sunday. I must of kicked and headed everything in that game. I ended up winning £7800. A few days before Christmas, brilliant. I bet a tenner on 4 draws one Sunday and won a grand. I've had the odd couple of grand and 500 quid but don't really do it anymore.
  3. I would sign him in a heartbeat. He would now be a older head in the squad. And what a great example to the kids he would be.
  4. I listen every week and it really is a great listen but who sings that song/intro. It's really bugging me. I was thinking of buying my ex wife a copy. ???
  5. He was a class player, I think we signed him when he was 31 so coming into the twilight of his career. If I recall he was injured for quite a while 20 games? Denis Smith signed him for Sunderland where he became a icon playing into his late 30's. Smith had previously had him at York. It's a sad thing to say nowadays with brain injuries to former players but he could head a ball further than many centre halves could kick it. He didn't play many games for us but has always left a lasting impression on me of what could of been if he stayed here a little longer. Good luck John and I'm happy to donate if there's a link.
  6. It must be smart phones nowadays.
  7. Listening to Gary Owers with that music in the background takes me back to Ritz's in the 90's!
  8. "If you need to loan any of our youth players next season against Reading, no problem"
  9. 'If you need any advice on how to build a Premier league winning team on a budget give me a call." Because you won't have any money soon, you cheating barstewards!
  10. Didn't we have a a thin pin stripe shirt in the mid-late 80's for about 5 games and then it was changed. I'm thinking 87-88?
  11. Is this one of those where were you moments like JFK, etc?
  12. That brings back memories, my late grandad and I were crying it was so funny.
  13. What's the odds of a City v Luton final? They would be mad as hatters if one of their former players scored the winner against them.???
  14. I can see him driving around in a TR7 next season with his own fan club.
  15. Why not put porn hub on the big screen it worked at the Mem.
  16. That's a great read, I don't know if it's true but I heard from my late grandad that Alec suggested Bert Trautmann but City turned him down.
  17. And knowing our luck it will be Gordon Owen's grandson taking them!
  18. Merry Christmas to one and all on this great forum. Hope you all have a great day. Unfortunately I've got covid again so will be having a quiet one with a few glasses of red or maybe alot! Coyrs
  19. What a absolute muppet, the bloke deserves a ban for bullying children and a good hiding. You would think a bloke in his 60's would be used to seeing bad performances and goals scored against us. What a despicable human being.
  20. Glenn Humpries not a clue on the keeper.
