Inspired by the under-whelming words of past manager and club carpenter/joiner Colin Appleton, On Cloud Seven was a Tigers fanzine in the late 80s and early 90s that earned a reputation for occasional excellence and regular constructive criticism of City regimes past and present.  Now reborn on this website, we combine high quality match reports and the occasional fanzine piece with a statistics resource that will keep you up to date on all things tigerish down at the Circle.

9th May 2010

The season ends at a canter as the Tigers slip into the Championship with a goalless draw against star studded Liverpool.  Read Ian Thomson's match report by clicking here.

 

3rd May 2010

With relegation all but mathematically sealed, Iain Dowie drops the superstars and plays the younger squad members - with predictable positive effect in terms of effort shown, goals scored and excitement generated.  However a goal deep into injury time denies City their first away win of the season.  Read Mike Scott's match report by clicking here.

 

24th April 2010

Drinks ordered at the last chance saloon, but an early Sunderland goal allied to a feckless Jimmy Bullard performance sees the Tigers slip meekly into the Championship without even a drinking song and a fumble in a darkened corner.  Read James Lockwood's match report by clicking here.

 

21st April 2010

Move along, nothing to see here.  Early and late Aston Villa strikes are enough to see off the benign Tigers as the Championship trap door opens wider.  Read Steve Weatherill's match report by clicking here.

 

17th April 2010

Despite late chances, City fail to beat a Birmingham side whose thoughts were more related to beachwear and late night dancing, than beating the Tigers at football.  A goalless draw just about keeps the unlikely dream alive for a further week.  Read Matthew Rudd's match report by clicking here.

 

10th April 2010

Utter horror - terminally relegated Burnley come to town, concede early then romp to a 4-1 victory against a Tigers side of unparalleled haplessness and fecklessness.  A shocking way to hasten City's exit from the Premier League.  Read Ian Thomson's match report by clicking here.

 

3rd April 2010

An unexpected team selection and a feeble first half showing against Stoke sees the Tigers fall behind, then just as second half substitutions started to turn the tide George Boateng was injured an a ten man Tigers side slumped to defeat.  Read Steve Weatherill's match report by clicking here.

 

27th March 2010

20th March 2010

Iain Dowie's debut saw the Tigers lead table-propping Portsmouth entering the last five minute, before conceding two late horror goals to sink to dispiriting defeat.  Read Mark Gretton's match report by clicking here.

 

13th March 2010

Unfortunate with refereeing decisions, a stupid red card, a plucky rearguard action, but ultimately a crushing defeat.  The City Premier League experience encapsulated in 90 minutes against Arsenal.  Read Mike Scott's match report by clicking here.

 

7th March 2010

A fortnight's rest for the Tigers yields its usual result - bizarre tactical cock-ups and a Premier League thumping.  This time it a fine Everton side that benefit.  Read Mark Gretton's match report by clicking here.

 

20th February 2010

Another sending off - this time to feckless Craig Fagan - and an injury to Anthony Gardner accompanies a thumping defeat against relegation rivals West Ham.  Read Matthew Rudd's match report by clicking here.

 

10th February 2010

A poor City performance in the cold, worsened by a poor decision to send off George Boateng in the first half, saw City crash to a deflating defeat.  Read Paul Atkin's match report by clicking here.

 

6th February 2010

The fine form continues as the Tigers swot aside the multi millionaires of Manchester City, rendering them disjointed with a tremendous display with Jozy Altidore emotional Premier League opener and a refulgent Boateng swipe.  Read James Lockwood's match report by clicking here.

 

2nd February 2010

After the Wolves disappointment, a resurgent Tigers led by a powerful Jozy Altidore and prompted by youngster Tom Cairney in midfield claim a well deserved point against a world class but under-performing Chelsea side.  Read Mark Gretton's match report by clicking here.
