Got a separate laptop for the footy ;)

can't believe it, going insane at my computer screen, best news this month

We'll just lose. Might be outclassed or might flatter to deceive, might be unlucky with penalties and posts again, but we'll lose. Oldham might have the game of their lives or their goal might come scrappily in the 95th minute, but we'll lose. I understand there's no point in being...

You reckon the French aren't playing because of language? Maybe, though you'd think that could have been picked up when they were signed! Based on his game against Sheffield United I'd certainly have Malaga in otherwise. Moussa is a French-speaking Belgian.

Okay, that's reassuring I guess. I feared that kind of result but thought something around 1-3 might be a reason for optimism. I didn't go, no. Should've got the Lille-London Eurostar line but it costs a bomb.

As a League One side hoping to be competitive, we shouldn't be losing 1-6 to anyone really, maybe Barcelona or a full-strength Man Utd / Arsenal on a particularly bad day for us. Whichever way you look at it it's an absolute stuffing. If reports on here are correct about the players seeming...

It SO wouldn't!!

Sometimes it's good to work these things through your system though! I am interested to hear views on why he was sold. I just assumed it was because he wanted to push his career on. Still, like your post very much :)

Good post, Godiva. It's much harder to put thought and effort into a sustained piece of argument than it is to come on here saying 'they're all shit, I'm never going to the Ricoh again'. The one thing I want to add is a reminder of the sheer mind-wrenching disappointment, let-down and anger...

A register is being compiled? Bloody hell, sounds ominous. City forever, obviously. No choice.

Were we any good at 'Championship craft' over the last 11 years?

That's a very long, wordy interview.

Nice to see some solidarity on this thread. After what happened in the banks and what we have learned about the way this country's top earners live (noses in the trough, chumminess with politicians and large-scale tax-avoidance) I'm surprised we're not all in the streets every other day...

Cheers jk, well-written stuff; I particularly enjoyed the summary of where we're at right now. You got it about right, I'd say, though you could have laid more stress on the absolute despairing and predictable hopelessness of it all for several years now. CCFC, the nothing club. Play Up Sky...

Yeah, the more so as squad numbers 32, 33 and 34 were all conveniently vacant... prime loan signing shirt numbers as well. They've been preparing Robins' arrival for a while, the figures are there!

I can't even understand, let alone help. That's what a languages degree does for you

I'm interested to see you've all put Malaga in at centre-back. I saw him against Sheffield United where he had the goal disallowed and looked basically very good. A couple of bizarre passes, but the rest, good. So why is he no longer playing, anyone know?

Just to say I find this thread's title hilarious. Plus, I'm surprisingly upbeat about the appointment. Maybe because it's some news, any news, that isn't unremittingly negative. Maybe a little bit too because it isn't another tired old name that's been doing a mediocre management job for...

You want pedantic: there's only one 'b' in our new manager's surname. Previous poster 'ohitsaidwalker kingpower' just beat me to it but we loyal fans should get the basics straight, should we not? :)

First game October 20th 1986 against Wimbledon: Dave Bennett scored our goal in a 1-0 win. He and Gynn were the most exciting players over the season for me, so one of those two. Obviously, Keith Houchen came more to the fore over that season... I'll go for Dave Bennett
