Come on Hughton, Two Games to Save a Crap Season
Published on Apr 27, 2013
What on earth can be found to be said for this game, all I can add is that events at the JW Stadium may have had a bigger meaning for City than what their efforts did in the Potteries. Spurs grabbing a point courtesy of an own goal, may just play a bigger part in City's survival. City didn't have the luxury of a Stoke player get [...]

That Should See Us Over The Line...Hopefully
Published on Apr 21, 2013
Massive result that I believe has secured our position next season, it would take a massive effort on other team's parts to overhaul us now with the games that they have left to play.

It's Monday morning and I still can't clear the lump stuck in my throat, words sometimes do not seem adequate to describe how I feel after that debacle by the officials.
