lovely post ..1972 was my first game ...seems only yesterday ..and yes if I had said to anyone in the dark days of the late seventies and early eighties I would live to see us win win 4 titles a champions league and all the fa and league cups they would have locked me up and thrown away the key..

I like your comments and you clearly have a football brain...but I believe in this football is a simple game not rocket science only clouded by inept coaches who talk a good game on the blackboard we are now playing games where like today it took 70 mins to test the city keeper and this has been going on for months...can anyone remember when we actually thrashed anyone..the bottom line ls the manager......everytime

the problems today were waiting to surface on a big scale from around jan/feb last season it was a case of setting up the team in almost every game not to lose the stats speak for themselves ...jose was aware the team was going backwards and set up to stifle the opponents and win by the single goal or draw when needed won the league but that was never going to work long term we are in decline and have been for months today was the day the cracks gave in and the dam burst
