Clearly not your family then. He’s the uncle of Dean Moxey, who I worked with for 26 years.

Any relation to Alan Moxey?

Now here’s a weird thing GIG, and I’m sorry this isn’t clever, witty banter, but I can’t be arsed. I actually attended all your Wembley visits to help a disabled city fan. When we lost at Wembley against Wimbledon in the Adams era I was so gutted my wife says I was uncommunicative for a week...

Please convince me you lot are going to beat the Tykes on Tuesday.

Yes, very well refereed I thought. Lots of strong challenges, but all clean, and the game flowed. Excellent City vocal support. You make more noise than Wednesday and Ipswich.

Forgive me for the lack of banter. Can’t be arsed. Just want to say that that was the best performance by any visiting team to HP this season. Played in a great spirit despite the conditions. Your first half tactics were spot on, with very high press and speedy breaks upfield. In the end had...

What a silly post. Firstly does it matter where the chants came from? Secondly why should my sons and I invent such a memory? At the time we were well disposed to City, you being our nearest club. They’d even planned to buy the scarves. The chants you think we imagined changed all that. Thirdly...

OK let’s talk about abuse. When I moved close to Exeter forty years ago my sons and I watched city, Torquay and Argyle in rotation, being neutral towards all three. Then one day we watched city v Newport. The big bank chanted Aberfan, Aberfan throughout the game. When I explained to my sons what...

I’m sorry this isn’t banter, but how heartwarming to hear of Jay Stansfield’s first start. I’m also delighted you’re doing so well. Should make for two cracking derby games.

You’re probably right OC. We easily forget how difficult some wives find it to settle in the West Country, and families always come first.

I’d say the long game is looking OK for us. Sad to lose RL, and didn’t like the manner of his departure, but he was always going to quit after a successful spell. Delighted Schuey has taken over. Probably a better tactician.Time will tell.

It’s the intelligence level of posts like this I find the most depressing about this site. Surely you can do better?

Very astute forecast old chap

Your strap line quotes Flaubert, probably my favourite author. He once said ‘there is no such thing as truth, only perception’. You have totally the wrong perception of me my friend. Grow up.

Not likely old chap. More likely he’ll do well and cost any other club a lot of money to lure him and his assistant (who’s also signed an extension) away. Time will tell. Look forward to comparing notes in a couple of years.
