    Transfer Rumour Jack Clarke

    I suggest we do. He's now nearly 40. We were one of only two teams he played for without ever scoring and its almost 6 years since he last scored. Come to think of it, he may be one of the very few players the "Worth a punt" brigade don't want to sign! ;-)

    George Hudson passed away

    Referencing JB's comment earlier, it seems that unlike George Curtis, the Hud only battered Cod.

    George Hudson passed away

    Northampton were promoted to the First Division during the time George Hudson was with us but somehow managed to go from the Fourth Division to the First and back again right down to the Fourth within a decade I think. They reached the top flight before us but didn't stay quite so long! I...

    George Hudson passed away

    My family moved to Cardiff at Christmas in 1958 and though we got to a fair number of City games between us for the next ten brilliant years, I missed quite a few George Hudson games. But I never saw us lose when the Hud was playing. You just knew that whatever the state of the game, he would...

    Match Thread Stoke City

    I think that was before my time, but do remember those who saw Hannibal in the single campaign he played for us said he was never the kind of mid-field general we needed and used to rubbish him all the time for just playing it over the top. Still we now see he was years ahead of his time...

    But if he'd been a "proper striker" he would have done? ;-)

    Anyone seen a picture from the goal line itself. Looks to be over the line in this picture.

    Match Thread Huddersfield

    At what point this season have Huddersfield been struggling? They seem a mid-table team that must still have hopes of play offs.

    Aren't Wasps a club? I'd have great difficulty keeping a straight face!

    Tonight’s games

    Now only one point behind! I see both Drysdale and Eccles played a full 90 minutes for Gillingham against Accrington Stanley today.

    Tonight’s games

    5pts off autos with 3 games in hand. But they have mighty Sunderland breathing down their necks: only two points behind! And Oh, yes, they must be worried. Accrington have only have two games in hand on them. ;-)

    Match Thread Wycombe

    I agree. But didn't know Ronaldo, Messi and co. were due to play at Wycombe? Probably a predictable win for The World, but could they do this while still keeping the ball on the deck? At least 0-3 I reckon, but think they may need to lump it forward a few times too, just to demonstrate their...

    Match Thread Wycombe

    I think this assessment from the Wycombe forum is the fairest comment I think I've seen on an opposition fan site. Just imagine if this spirit of commendable fair-minded decency were to invade SBT like Japanese knotweed, what Sky Blue wisdom might we suddenly find sprouting up here - and...

    Much worse than that. It was a sitter. He had time. No defenders. Not even the Goalkeeper. A completely open goal! Just imagine the meltdown if that had been Max or Baka!

    Summer signings/loans - Ratings so far

    I hate keepers who offer nothing more than commanding their box and fantastic saves and kicks.
