    Doncaster match ratings

    First game I'd been to since Orient away in October 2012. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the concourse and at the beginning of the game. Their fans were either abysmal or just inaudible from our end. Doncaster were absolutely atrocious, except perhaps the keen running of Forrester and the strength...

    Baker exit -football reasons or wages?

    Always seemed like an inexplicable decision to me. Look at the goals the guy got! I assumed Pressley fell out with him, as he seems to be doing with a lot of players.

    Coventry City in the 4th Division

    'I have spent the week hoping...' - me too, WJ. All bloody week, again, desperately hoping we'd beat Notts. Right now I feel I can't take any more, but there is maybe solace in knowing I, we, will not give in or give up. Seeing my counsellor again Thursday, another hidden cost of following the...

    Reminds me of 2 years ago when we were singing at a couple of our fans on the balcony below to pull down an overhanging Orient flag - that went on and on and on Also my last match seen in the flesh :(

    Official Bristol match thread

    Losing 1-3 at home to Bristol City is a dreadful result. Bristol City! If it was just a one-off, the sort of thing that could happen to any team, bad day at the office, everything going against us, it might nonetheless soon be forgotten. But that's five defeats in six now. Four ruined weekends...

    Please move the camera gantry !

    Totally agree with the OP. Tried to show friends how the stadium was packed but all you saw three-quarters of the time was that white wall and empty seats. Not the first time either, it's very frustrating.

    Gillingham Match Thread - The Ricoh Return

    Watched on TV. 6/10 from City for me. Some exciting mini-spells and we rarely looked in real trouble. Sumpuous move for our goal, Haynes outstanding for most of the first half. The last 15 minutes were strange, like we'd given up trying to build any attacks. Even saw defensive punts forward from...

    The Can't Go On Friday Thread

    Just too expensive in the end: train to Calais, ferry to Dover, train to London, train to Coventry, hotel; then the return journey on Saturday. I'd been pumping myself up to make this trip since the anouncement was made but reason has taken hold once again.

    We're back!

    For months I've been threatening to go wild if we finally got back home - now I can't decide what to do. Any other City fans out in the east of France right now for a booze-up? I'll be in Raon l'Etape in the long-sleeved replica shirt trying not to have my head kicked in by the locals if...

    Alan smith

    I got his autograph in the stands at Sheffield Wednesday back in 1986, or maybe even the quarter final in 87, not sure. I always used to confuse him in my head wth Martin Lane, another hardly-playing defender of the immediate pre-FA cup era.

    I hope so because after three poor defeats I don't see where we'll get any more.

    Oldham match thread

    Not sure you've taken Danny Philliskirk into account. Ex-player, 1-0 to them. I think we'll lose as there doesn't seem to be the stomach for the fight.

    The French love the old 'steack-frites' and consider it a typical brasserie meal. English and vegetarian, I have always been substantially partial to a plate of ratatouille, even before moving to France. By God I love order in my life though. edit: how are you supposed to reply with quote and...
