    Best ever City Center Half.......

    Slightly before my time, but interesting that Bobby Saxton hasn't got a mention unless I've missed it. Peter Whiston is the most stylish City CB I remember. Phil Roberts was always fairly comfortable on the ball too as far as I recall. Other than that, the two Taylors have got to be contenders...

    Supporters' Direct facing immediate closure

    As I just posted on today's Guardian blog on this topic, I think ECFC should boycott the Premier League in protest...

    German football tickets

    Whichever way you get them, prepare to be pleasantly surprised at the low prices compared to England. A Bundesliga ticket will probably cost you less than SJP and as you say, there's the added advantage of beer. At the old Schalke ground and at a lower division game in Berlin a couple of years...

    No, Given is a 'great shot stopper'

    New Goalkeepers?

    As I think you're probably subtly alluding to, 'great shot stopper' is a term usually applied to keepers who are weak in all aspects of the role except getting themselves between the ball and shots on goal. They usually have more opportunities to display this admittedly important skill than...

    City on SKY - Exiles Watch

    Surely MK is full of pubs that were previously located in other parts of the country, bought by new owners against the will of the regulars and uprooted? Perhaps one even used to be in Exeter and might therefore show the game...

    Oldham v Exeter City Matchday Thread

    The ECFC website has revealed Tisdale's cunning ploy: City switched to what in effect was a 4-4-3 from 54 minutes onwards. Do you think we'll lose the point when the FA realises?

    Ryan Harley transfer rumour.

    Oh. Well you'll just have to go to the Sky Sports site and read the 'Canaries deny Harley interest' article.

    Ryan Harley transfer rumour.

    Well at least we know he's not going to Norwich now: ##URL REMOVED##/story/0,19528,11719_6471770,00.html **** Sorry! Web links not allowed for new users **** This is an effort to combat spam postings. We apologise for any inconvenience.

    Surely Krysiak deserves a chance?

    I can't remember seeing a City goalie who wasn't prone to a clanger since I started watching them 30 years ago. All players in the 3rd tier make mistakes, otherwise they'd be playing at a higher level. Paul Jones does not strike me as the most assertive or vocal keeper, but he's improved...
