Are you forgetting our incredible run to 2nd place in 1929? 

Andy King's debut season. I remember it well.

If Man Utd lose which is likely we’re second. I mean. Leicester are second. And the only team above us are literally on the longest winning run in the history of the Premier League. I know fans are allowed to moan, it’s our right and I get that but this is, so far, the second best season in the entire history of our club. X

Come on now this is far too positive an attitude for some on here. And by the way don't you recall 1928-29?

I think the Ice Kings were also in the top 2 at this stage.

At the start of May they were 2nd (briefly 1st in mid-April) and in the FA Cup final. Then lost their last 4 league games and the Cup final. Bottlers.

Didn’t they have a very thin squad and injury problems?

So our record for our last 5 league games reads W3 D1 L1 with the loss coming to arsenal. Is that really a dip in form?

It's all about context. We went out meekly of the Europa League in that run and surrendered to Arsenal suffering crippling injuries to three key players as well. The natural anticipation is that we would struggle subsequently and the early goals conceded to Burnley and Brighton were almost scripted. Our players fighting back and getting four points is the twist here. This could prove so important.

Even pre-PL!

Let's hope we can keep momentum going until the end, finishing top 4 would be quite spectacular under the circumstances!

That is true but only if your views are not complete bollocks like yours are!

I’ve still not forgiven Dunk for getting Beckford sent off in 2012. 
 

Youri has humiliated him.

Some amount of whinging bastards on those match threads.

yep they have the hots believing they have the right to an opinion....Then make an absolute Ding bat of themselves...

 

But we all come from the Easy East midlands... Whinging bastards is part of our nature, and soon as we have had a Taste of Prawn-sandwiches,

It goes off the whinging-richter-scale..

First 6 pages of Match thread is  pure flat-cap-East-Midlands poetry....

Just watched the match as couldn’t before and big Dan put in a huge shift. One national paper said he’s the ideal utility player and despite the crap he gets from some idiots on here is a valuable asset to our club that would play every week for most mid table teams downwards. The goal from Nacho started from him breaking up play. We ought to show a bit more love to our boys

You are totally correct mate. I apologise if I was outta line. Just get the opinion that certain posters are just dwelling on the negative and there’s enough of that around as it is. Again sorry if I caused offence.

I’ve thought about this too, but it seems to nullify Ricardo has much as it helps Castagne. What you gain for one, you lose for the other. If they play themselves into some form it may just come at the right time to see us through the final end of season push

I thought Ricardo's best game for us since he came back was on the left agsinst Liverpool.

Willie Orr was arguably one of City's greatest ever managers. But how many of us have ever even heard of him? Unlike Ranieri, he wasn't a one-season-wonder.

[mazarron fox]

Looking at this shitefest of WBA V NUFC it makes me appreciate just how fleet footed and quick of mind some of our footballers are not just a couple but most of them playing triangles. This game the only triangles played would be in an orchestra

I have to smile at my fellow FTs I wasn’t able to watch the match so saw the result and Brighton players, manager and pundits generally were saying Leicester deserved to win with a good second half performance. I come on here and we were lucky s..thoused it awful, etc etc etc. Do all fans think their team dodged a bullet after an impressive away win or just ours.

It was another case of controlling large chunks of the game, dominating possession looking very comfortable but creating nothing. We were sloppier than usual in possession, but Brighton didn't create a lot of chances but the ones they did create were good chances.

 

We have been spoilt with how good this team can be, but scraping through games like this is a great sign compared to last seasons capitulation.

Hardly bottlers my friend; if I remember right they lost a player in the Cup final in the first 15 minutes and there were no subs in those days and typically only 15 man squads. Playing champions Tottenham on a big Wembley pitch with 10 men was always going to be difficult. The "ice kings" were a great side who just came up short.

I think you'll find he was making a contemporaneous joke.

Still buzzing from last night.

 

With a severely depleted squad and a run of fixtures against lower half teams it's quite easy not to get an acceptable return of points.

 

There is no doubt that the other six teams in 2nd-8th had a collective groan when we got the winner. With our injury problems we were seen as the team that looked the likeliest to be caught in the current top four. It's just fantastic that we've done what we needed to do this weekend and now have our feet up and putting pressure on our competitors to perform.

Len Chalmers - the original 'chopper'. Forget Ron Harris.

The 'ice kings' refers to the 62-63 season following the signing of Stringfellow in the summer of 62 and the introduction of Gibson proper, who had only made one previous appearance due to national service. Prior to this, the cup final against Spurs meanwhile was jeopardised by the loss of right back Chalmers after 20 mins who in a pre-substitution era was forced hobble ineffectually up and down the wing having broken his ****ing leg. Bottlers?

A joke reflecting contemporary times?

Any better?

[Col city fan]

Gotta be honest I’m still a little shell-shocked after last night

I didn’t think ‘we controlled large chunks of the game’ at all

But what we didn’t do was capitulate, like we would have done last season. 
At the end of the first half I had no idea what our game plan was and how we’d ever win the match

But we did and credit to all of them for scraping through. Big result last night

I couldn't decide if the wording was correct, but on reflection I think you're correct.
