The City Archives - Free French Navy Friendly, 1942[/u]
We have a new feature to place alongside our previews this season, as one of Saints Chat's regular posters, Brummie, delves into the history books to provide us with match reports from the past. This gives a chance to walk down memory lane, or learn a little about City's past, before the next match in the present!
This time, Brummie has given us a typed report of a match that took place in 1942. This match report is from a friendly match played during World War 2 at Clarence Park between City and a team from the Free French Navy. City won 13-3 but one player who did not make it for the game was Ronnie Burke. He later went on to play for Manchester United from 1947 to the early 1950s as one of Matt Busby's early babes. A Topliss scored six goals in this game.
Thanks, as always, go to Brummie for delving into the City Archives to provide us with an interesting read alongside our usual match previews!

If it's the player i'm thinking of then he's from harrow borough and he's a midfielder. I could however be wrong!

Well done you Saints. Great team performance today! Great to see the lads battling and fighting for each other. A number of really pleasing performances and Simon Martin grabbing a brace of goals! Cutchey's superb strike was the icing on the cake! I'm delighted with the clean sheet as well. Our defence marshalled by James Gray looks so much better. More of the same on Boxing Day please!

Reading the post-match comments about their team's performance on the Cambridge fans' forum, I was struck by the similarity of the complaints that are aired on here when things go wrong for City - hoofball, immobile defence and an unsettled squad of ageing players. This from a club that expects a top-five finish. Perhaps this is how it is in this league. thelilywhitessoapbox.ipbhost.com/topic/3598-st-albans-v-city/page__st__20At least one of their supporters thought that they were still in with a chance when already 3.0 down, which is a bit worrying if it was true!

This from a club that expects a top-five finish. Perhaps this is how it is in this league. Hi Northampton. That's what is known as "fickle fan syndrome" Every club has this complaint i'm afraid. Chants of "Howell out" when we are losing or playing badly and "The greatest team ever" when we are on a good run. Even Alex Ferguson had this trouble when he first managed Manchester United. Now you'd be hard pressed to find those fans today. Lets hope this is the start of a decent run of results and not a false dawn.

Thought the save by Jupp to his right hand side in the seciond half was high standard. Better than the pen.
