Definitely: CCFC Villa Leeds Everton Liverpool Norwich Southampton Man Utd Spurs Arsenal West Ham Forest Sheff Weds Then probably have to have: Man City Chelsea Wolves Then any 4 from WBA, Newcastle, Sunderland, Ipswich, Watford, Blackburn, Leicester, Stoke, Wimbledon

Whilst I would probably be regarded on here as a 'SISU Apologist'.... This is exactly the type of thing that does need to happen to register the disapproval at the situation at our club. It's what should have happened on day one at Northampton (and I say that as someone who had a half-season...

When I really got the bug for live football it was early to mid 90's and for us, Villa were the main rival. At the schools in Bedworth it was City, Villa, Man Utd or Liverpool. Even then we all knew the Liverpool and Utd fans were a bunch of glory-boys, so it was us and Villa really. Going away...

I realise I'm in the minority here, but for me the quality of the football is a lot less relevant than the actual match day experience, which is shit, and pretty much has been since we moved to the Ricoh. Actually move the home and away fans closer together and the atmosphere would improve...

Don't want to cause any arguments, but the following Saturday when we only got 10000 was when I knew things weren't going to get any better. We can slate SISU, council, wasps, but that was a piss poor showing...

I have to give no justification why I happened to be at the Birmingham game to anyone. Have followed City home and away enough over the last 24 years to not worry about that. Perhaps you/he should travel to the odd game occasionally. Watch a match in France, Greece, Italy, Spain. Gives you a...

What an arsehole. Shitfields? Not heard that before. Let me tell you the reason I went to Shitfields... Because the side I supported were going through their lowest period and needed the support, in what was hopefully a temporary absence from Coventry. The second it may have been made...

The fact that the SISU Fever always increases through a bad spell pretty much says it all about the protesters. Didn't give a toss last year when we were top of the league, but after the second half of last season, and the admittedly alarming start to this season(I do believe it will improve)...

I really do struggle to understand the obsession some have with MK Dons away. Yes they are only a short train ride away, but they have no history, absolutely no rivalry with us, they are a franchise club, and the ground (albeit nice) is in the middle of nowhere.... To a lesser extent I feel the...

Used to go regularly to the reserve games in the mid 90's before we could afford to watch the first team as regularly... Remember one game against Sunderland where a couple of my mates got ejected. Passions running high that night...!! Also remember the youth cup final game vs West Ham, was...

The discussion does seem to have moved on from arguing about the potential Butts capacity.... However I'd just say that in my view, the notion that in the premier league we would need a 30k capacity stadium every week is a bit far fetched. Should we get to the premier league, I think that...

I am a pretty dedicated fell-runner. Ran in the English Champs in the Peak District on Saturday. 181st. It was only 4 miles though, too fast and furious for me. Speciality is longer races. Got 6 races over the summer, in Lake District, Wales and Shropshire, varying between 17 and 25 miles. But...

Hopefully GMK comes back, then I won't have to read the thoughts of some of the utter spastics on here. marcusp being a prime example.

For me, and i'm certain a lot of people my age, Leicester were not even on our radar when we were growing up, so a 'real' rivalry probably didn't develop in our eyes. Must admit as we became more familiar with them my dislike of them grew. Although to be completely honest I spent most of the...

Went up sometime in the lates 2000's... last weekend before xmas, it was bloody freezing, got smashed on the Friday til about 2am... Back in Yates' by 11am on the Saturday, in the ground at 2-59.... By ten past 3 we were at least 1 down, possibly 2, and Kevin Kyle had been sent off. After a...

I guess it depends where you live and your age, etc.... When I was 'growing up' (mid-late 90's) it was Villa that was always the big game, although they were a different level to us most of the time, they were the biggest rival, and it could also be a rough place to visit. With no disrespect...

I think it takes an 'exceptional' situation like the current one, to show up how you really feel about times. Whilst I dislike Leicester in general, due to the local rivalry which does exist, i'd certainly like to see them stick two fingers up to the 'big' teams. Long may it continue and I hope...

I read that book about the English season-ticket holder at Hellas, i'm sure you know the one I mean.... the chapters about the away trips to Bari, Lecce and Napoli were decent, but he spent too much time going on about poetry, etc, for my liking.... you must've seen some interesting things...

To be fair, most fans in Italy are necking expressos before they go onto the terraces, rather than pints... no wonder they are so hyper...! real shame about the ultras situation in Rome at the moment, think Napoli and Atalanta will be the next trips.

It is fairly shocking. I got in at 2-30 and then queued up for 20 minutes to get a bottle of Coke, as I didn't fancy missing half the game by attempting to queue up at HT. 6 people behind the concourse, why don't they have 3 competent people behind there and open twice as many stands...
