I have a dream that the sky gravy train runs out of money and stops funding football and dictating when we play, Players have to learn to live on less obscene wages and maybe get a taste of the real world we have to live in, VAR is scrapped, glory boys and insta addicts find a new hobby and something else to do with their "limbs", i can walk up and buy a ticket on match day, leicester city dont email me 4 times a day trying to flog me tat, we go back to 3 subs, absolute nobodies dont get england caps, stadiums are named after streets areas or parks not faceless corporations, I don't have to remortgage to see a game, people watch the game with their eyes rather than through a screen, my hometown club stops taking the piss out of my loyalty, a rich local business man (like jack walker and john hall did) buys the club and oh yeah i can stand. I think that's it. It was only a dream, mind!

I had a kick about with my mates on rushey fields and pretended to be tony cottee. I beat 2 fat lads and a 9 year old and belted it in from 2 yards as hard as I could. Screamer! No nets, so the ball hit a car and knocked wing mirror off. Then a woman in house opposite shouted for us to watch it! Then my mate dropped his pants and had a p*ss in the brook. She called him a dirty b*stard then we ran off. True story.....does that count? Sorry what was the question?

I once got propositioned walking down prebend street. All I could think to say was "I'm married". She looked at me like I was an idiot and said "so?" 😂

Topless calenders in garages/ workshops

Collymore one just immediately sprung out to me when I read this thread. For a short period it felt like we could be as dangerous as anyone with heskey and collymore up front and O'Neill's team could take the step up to the next level and really challenge..,...we had to wait a few years for that 😂😂. Shame collymore didn't have his head right.....he could have been one of the very best in my eyes.

Pretty special that one. Not the typical Dion Dublin goal

Collymore v Sunderland

I agree, the club doesn't help at all. As you say, it's all been said before 🙄

It is a bit odd. I can't imagine going to city and not wanting to make noise and sing. It's half the reason I have always gone. The atmosphere. If I wanted to sit quietly and comfortably to watch a game I could do that at home. But.....everyone is different . Thinking back I don't think it's always been that different. It was always pen 2 and pen 3 that made a noise back in the day. How many did those pens hold? I'm guessing 1.5 to 2k each maybe?? The east stand would chip in sometimes at big games but it only held a handful. But that aside not much noise came from main stand or double decker. I suppose if you had 4k in pens 2 and 3 then out of a capacity of 21,000, that's a bigger percentage making a noise than these days. But there were still a lot of supporters didn't sing even back then. I just think it's harder to get all the like minded singers congregating together these days than it was back then as there are non singers in the areas in and around sk1 who wont move out

And that was just the new parks girls 😂

Yeah I scored loads of goals at school goal hanging!!

I'm good with that. These days I'd feel a bit aggrieved to pay an admission fee to give more money to millionaires (although I do it every other week to the king power gang 🙄). Charity benefitting is a good call.

I should add that's not to say he wasn't a good servant to the club

I was of this opinion too. There arent too many players who have played in the premier league for a period of time that will be in need of a few quid these days

To my mind, most decent managers should win the league with Man city's players and resources at their disposal. Real managerial talent is getting teams like Ipswich into the premier league, or teams like Bournemouth and Brentford and keeping them there on limited resources.

This is true. Little hope of me getting away next season legitimately unless we get Newcastle on a Tuesday night in the league cup!

The system is severely flawed and some ST holders are adding to the problem. I am a member and went to 8 aways last season. I only bought tickets to 3 of those legitimately. The rest were bought from season ticket holders. I accept that sometimes people have last minute change of plans and can't go, so sell their ticket, but undoubtedly lots are buying tickets just for the points then selling them. Double edged sword as I'm grateful I get to go to some aways as a result of these season ticket holders selling but on the flip side it isn't really fair on members or ST holders on low points who want to go away and can't add to their points total because of this

Bang on. Admittedly I've done my stint of pitch invasions.....Oxford 1991 and Newcastle 1992 (I think). I was a teenager at the time and even then I thought "this is a bit pointless"....yes yes i know, so pointless i did it twice!! The point I'm making is they are over rated and probably belong back in the 90s. Give me an atmosphere and celebration in the stands like at Preston all day long.

A rather chubby stone islander tough nut managed to get on though. That was worth it wasn't it! 🙄

Just look at the lad who tried at Chelsea......pathetic 😂😂😂. 6 steps and fell over his own feet.

History! Not everything has to be a shiny glass and aluminium new build. That said, the KP is hardly shiny these days

14 grand!!! Per game!!! F**k me. That's staggering. It's literally throwing money in the bin

Sod the kits, can players get back to wearing black boots please and not luminous ones!

I'd see a doctor mate if your stools are that colour 😂

I vividly remember singing "you'll never walk again" to the tune of you'll never walk alone, after tackles by walshy and mauchlen. Tough....be red carded every week in the modern game
