John Cross is weary, can't see past Arsenal. At least Ollie Holt, when he's on, is a Stockport fan and they don't get a mention.

Blatherwick went on to have a decent career at the level we were at.

As for Howey, not good at all, but certainly not our worst player even at that time.

I’d no idea that the players were part timers. I just thought that they were professional footballers, albeit on very low pay. Astonishing! I think that they worked at the pit so they wouldn't have to do national service which still applied at the time. That certainly wasn't the case with Meredith ...

ClaretTony

Saw it yesterday. Such humility especially compared to modern footballers. I’ve only met Meredith the once when he came to a CM dinner, really polite and pleasant bloke. Jimmy Robbo is one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet and still a regular at the Turf. Thanks Buxton for finding a ...

Spicer did arrive in the same window but some time later. Elliott & O'Connor signed in May but it was August when Spicer arrived after the start of the season. It was the first time the transfer window had been introduced in the Football League.

I've just seen the piece Sky did with Jimmy Robson and Trevor Meredith, two of our players from that memorable night at Maine Road against Manchester City in 1960. For anyone who hasn't see it, It was shown in the hour leading up to kick off and is now available as a separate programme on catch up. ...

I don't know whether we will do it or not but, right now, it is more than a possibility I'd think.

This is not 7th after a handful of games but after 26, over two thirds of the season played and with only two games remaining against the top six.

Is it still a realistic possibility - has to be, yes.

A wonderful afternoon of football. Pope - 7 - A couple of good saves and his handling under pressure was sure, but in truth he wasn't extended many times by City. Bardsley - 6 - Thought he stuck to the task pretty well in the first half, and actually for the first 15 minutes he wasn't on the pitch,...

It's so high up that there is a satellite delay to the pictures on the big screen. It's the highest I've ever been for a match and I was close to the front.

Assume on a free I'd assume so - was out of contract in the summer in any case. Do agree, worth it for that pass at Bolton that helped take us to the top of the league.

It really is going from bad to worse at Blackpool. It appears Owen has fallen out with Karl so shunted him out of the way and placed his daughter Natalia in as chairman. Suggestion is that Owen wants to keep control of the club whilst Karl was of the view that they should get rid.

Awful situation.

SD will never see anything as a free hit and will approach the game as he always does, setting the team up in a rigid framework and hoping not to concede. It is a real dilemma for us fans who always see things differently. Were it me, I would send out a team to attack them from the outset and damn ...

And their junior price is £10 compared with £25 at West Ham. It's great having a maximum ticket price of £30 for adults but some clubs are taking the pi** with their concession prices, with West Ham being one of the worst, with all concessions being £25! Southampton is actually the worst at £27 but...

A question that needs to be asked

I think, possibly, some of my concerns are due to how highly I rate Stephen Ward, but he's a very experienced Premier League full back now and we shouldn't expect Taylor to be at the same level.

I've had some doubts about Taylor, but, in fairness, he did come in with no Premier League experience. He's done really well recently. He was as good as anyone at Palace and had a very good second half at Newcastle.
