I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

Can't believe what happened at the Etihad yesterday. Such a one-sided first half, City 2-0 up (without Sterling it could've been 6-0). Had to take dog out for her exercise and I come back 5 mins before the end to see 2-3 scoreline!!!

Assume City only came out second half with 5 players??

I don't know what Pep said to the players at half time, but don't say it again Pep 😱.

I've been watching City since my Dad took me to my 1st match when I was a 4 year old. And they always put you through it!

We all thought we were going to win at 2:0 up, but, Oh no.

2nd leg of the Champions' Leauge match on Tuesday night, then Spurs away at the weekend, no easy games....

Not out of the woods yet, but 4-0 against QPR, yesterday, bodes well for Hull City's chances of staying in the Championship.

Watching the City -Liverpool game on tv last night I was wondering what the dickens those extra pair of noddies do at Champions League games? You know, the ones that stand on the goal line to see incidents that the the Ref and his pal miss. These 2 extra plods seem to need guide dogs as they never make a single decision. Couldn't that guy see that the ball rebounded off Milner for the City's disallowed goal? OK maybe the ref wouldn't see it as there were 2 players with their backs turned to him and the assistant was standing in a straight line looking at them but why bother having these numpties doing absolutely nothing. I speak as someone who grew up watching Liverpool and travelling all over the country to do so, so I have no axe to grind. City's goal should have stood and then it really would have been an interesting game.

Don't watch much footie these days. My interest died the day Juventus fans were killed as a result of the actions of some barbarians masquerading as true Liverpool fans. No football match worth that.

They don't do anything, Wherenext. I've been to quite a few Champions'   League games now, home and away but have never seen any of them do anything.

A bad week for City, lost all 3 games, but as a fan for more years than I'm admitting to, nothing really surprises me. Spurs away at the weekend 😱, anything could happen!

Good luck to Liverpool in the semifinals, could be their year. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

History could be made tomorrow, as a win for Accy Stanley, against fourth placed Exeter, would secure their promotion for the first time ever into Division One!!

That would be sweet. I remember when they went out of business. Do I remember rightly that they were the first club to do so?

GET IN. 90 minutes of huff and puff and one moment of magic . I'd just said to the chap sitting next to me that we wouldn't score if we stayed till midnight and then one of our subs pops up and scores.

I've  just got home and seen a replay and the assist is a nutmeg through their right back's legs that's poetic justice because he'd been fouling all afternoon.

Gather round me young and old

A tragic tale I will unfold

A tale that's known to you and me

A tale of Chesterfield FC.

 


For years it's been our one ambition

To see them in a higher division

But now, alas, our hopes are low

They're at the bottom, and rightly so

 


For hours and hours in pouring rain

We watch and pray but all in vain

Same old story, same old tale

Open goals and shots that fail.

 


Oh, Chesterfield, give up the ghost

Plough up the field, saw down the post

Take down the flags, pull down the Stand

And let us cultivate the land

 


Then let us all with one accord

On bended knees implore the Lord

Prepare the pitch up there in Heaven

And sacrifice the whole eleven.
