Too many egos for me, I think it could all blow up on them. Such skills though - it was like watching Coventry. ;)

OK - I've found this about how the 4 step rule came nto being - this dates it as the early 1960's and was done to counteract gamesmanship and time-wasting. http://www.fifa.com/newscentre/news/newsid=72050.html

I was at the game ~ and missed the goal ! :facepalm: Didn't see it until match of the day that night.

How often have we moaned about players being played out of position ? Back to the Strachan era I think.

"just shows what can be done if you play a system that suits your players.” Oooh - bit of a dig there ?

I'm seeing more Mum's and Sons combos nowadays, guess that's a sign of the times. I used to take 4 of my daughters up nearly every week, but only 2 have grown up Sky Blue (and one of them married a Leicester fan.)

City Link are one of the better carriers in my opinion. Do you know what DHL stands for ? Drop it. Hide it. Lose it. ;)

At under 18 the money is controlled to a minimum, but does not have a maximum. I suspect we're not offering anything above minimum to the 2 lads we're offering a 1 year extension to, and that might be the reason.

My complaint with McIndoe was his unwillingness to take his man on, but he could cross if had enough time.

Just where did anyone drink before going to Highfield Road ? I was a Golden Cross man, but that's a fair walk afterwards.

Allegedly - he was a drug dealing thug when he was at Charlton, who made no secret of his dislike for people of a different skin tone. I must emphasise that this is purely gossip passed on to me from someone whose family knew his family.

I heard Incester would offer him first team football, so they reckon they're in front. Maybe - he's asking Cov for a bit more money and this is all haggling, though the Telegraph said we were after Murphy, who would expect a first team slot.

I'll worry about the price when we achieve the promotion.

I remember playing when this rule change came in - so I definately remember it. I do remember the bouncing rule as well, and I think you're right, it was a long time ago - I'll see what I can find, but I think it replaced the 30 second rule - where goal-keepers had to play the ball after 30...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh her name is Cheryl Cole

Jack Hayward quoted as saying "If anyone in England seriously thought I would vote for them they need their head examined. Not for a knighthood, not even for an Earldom."

This is bad ~ it's during the football season ~ it would be typical City to be top of the league when it happens. :-(

I don't think loans are good except as emergency cover. It disrupts and upsets your current players, who can't get a game ~ at the end of the season (or half way through) they leave and wreck your team selection and playing style ~ they still have an original allegiance to the club that pays...

I remember Jimmy Hill's pop and crisps sessions for kids, and The Sky Blue Express, Sky Blue Radio, all new ideas to reach out to fans.

Sunderland certainly need a striker
