    Football maths always works out, Man City lost to Wolves last season, you know what that means.

    Jobe is our lad, I’m glad people are starting to get more protective and appreciative of him now.

    Right! - I think its very possible that we might be as good as people are saying we are. I've not really seen anything like it.

    Edit: for some random reason I keep thinking of the Swindon team that beat us in the playoffs that time. I think they set up slightly differently but they would swarm all over teams and score for fun.

    Anyone thinking about buying the half zip training top I would advise to go up a size. Mrs.MK bought me one for my birthday and she bought a Large one, it had to be returned as it was too tight despite the 2 club polo shirts being on the large size. Beware if you are an exile like me and have to pay for returning items.

    Got mine a couple of weeks ago and given that I’ve lost 1.5 stone in the last 7 weeks on the carnivore diet I’ve still had to get the XL, so definitely go a size up! It’s smart as out like and I even got my initials on it just like Reggie!!

    They certainly did, absolutely destroyed us at Wembley in 1990.

    Remember standing outside Wembley that day before the game mate, boiling hot and the players coach pulled up. The players got off and most of them looked terrified. Despite doing our best as fans that day I knew we were going to struggle before KO.

    As you say we were never in it. They took us apart, Alan McLoughlin (RIP) to the fore.

    Yep. And bizarrely I remember clips of them taking other teams apart too.

    Bob Murray has said he knew prior that we were going up anyway. Strange one.
