Ok, so I may be counting our chickens but why not have a discussion as to how many points we may need to secure fourth place and a champions league spot. Looking back over the fifteen seasons since 2000/2001, the average points total for fourth place is 69. We therefore have another 37 to go...

With the transfer deadline looming, how about some guesses as to who might come in and who might leave. It's a bit of fun, so here's my thoughts: 1) Beckford to leave - West Ham with Maynard possibly coming the other way or we take the cash to spend elsewhere 2) Zakuani (Peterborough -...

Some thoughts ahead of Posh's visit. I saw them lose 4-3 to Barnsley last week. Defensively, their full backs are particularly vulnerable ( Tom Kennedy can't play as he is on loan from us. His replacement is likely to be Tommy Rowe, who is essentially a winger rather than a left back. The...

If we are serious about getting into the play offs, this is a must, must, must win game for us. It seems as though Gary Johnson will be installed as the new Manager tomorrow, so that may give them a lift. however this is a club that really is in turmoil. Their best three players are either...

It looks as though Peterborough are willing Craig Mackail-Smith to go out on loan, with a view to a permanent transfer thereafter. He might be a useful addition. He has bags of pace and plenty of energy. Not always the best at taking his chances, but a wholehearted player who could do a job for us.

Saw the Posh v Ipswich game on Tuesday, so thought I'd like to share some thoughts just in case Nige needs some advice for the forthcoming game. Ipswich, by the way, were really poor. If we finish below them this season, we will be fighting to stay up! Defence - Lewis had quite a good game in...

Interesting report in the Peterborough Evening Telegraph: http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/Posh-reject-bids-for-striker.5387938.jp I reckon that we could be one of the two Championship clubs that have made a bid. He tore us to shreds in the second half at London Road. Technically a...

Which opposing players have you been most impressed with in League One this year, and could do a job for us in the Championship? I would suggest the following: Lee Hughes - Oldham. Can still do it at that level IMO. Chris Taylor - Oldham. Pacey, tricky right winger. Simon Cox/Ricky...

Poor old Tigers, couldn't quite do it today. Hope everyone noticed their passion and desire to win for the club - what a shining example to our footballers!! If only we had a Martin Johnson - fighting/scrambling for everyone ball even though he's won everything there is to win in the game, not...

What are your favourite/funniest pieces of commentary that relate to City either during the game or comments made after it? How about the following for starters: 1) ' Oh yes, oh yes for the youngster' (Barry Davis after Joe Waters scores for City v QPR in the 1974 fa cup quarter final) 2)...

Anyone know where I can buy this from? Which matches are featured and what do they actually show from the games - the highlights or just the goals? I would assume that the games against Leatherhead, QPR and Luton in the cup would definitely be three of the ones selected.Is it worthwhile buying?

Which City players seemed like great signings only to subsequently flop? My selections: Roger Davies Gregor Stevens Jimmy Quinn Steve Moran Ade Akinbiyi Dennis Wise Matt Jones Arnar Gunnlaugson Martin Hodge Ian Ormondroyd Russell Osman

When the new manager comes in, assuming its not Bertie and Bilko, which players do you think he would show the door - I appreciate he might have to wait until the end of the season. Here' my selection that will be off loaded: Dublin, Connelly, Nalis, Gillespie, Stewart, Williams, Benjamin...

1. O'Neill 2. Bloomfield 3. Milne 4. Little 5. Wallace 6. Adams 7. McGee 8. Hamilton 9. Pleat 10. McLintock

How about this for quality: Coyne Curtis Howey Dabizas Rogers Gillespie Hignett Gudjonnsen Wilcox Blake Dublin But, of course, its not Mickey's fault!

I'm afraid that Mickey's CV at Leicester does not make for good reading: 1) Lack of judgement in signing players - Hignett, Curtis, Gillespie, Nalis, Howey, Williams, Connolly, Dublin 2) Inadequate use of resources - he may not have had the resources of the richer clubs, but he's managing...

Having last week posted a 'let's raid the Palace' topic, I'm now worried that they may be doing the pilfering instead! I fear that Bent and Thatcher, in view of his London connection, will be on Ian Dowie's list. Hope I'm wrong, because these two were the few good signings that MA has made.

Crystal that is, and get Dowie, Ligertwood, Routledge and Gray in. We need someone who can give us a real lift before next season, as opposed to Mickey's usual rubbish of we're useless, we'll struggle to beat Crewe Alexandra even if they have six players sent off etc etc
