    Waggot: "bears shit in the woods"

    Sky Blues fans on social media are up in arms today after Steve Waggot's ill-considered comments about the toilet habits of bears. Here are some comments from Twitter... 'Who does Waggot's think he is to comment on bears? No bear ever shat in the woods before SUSU. #PUSB'. Realfan 'If...

    Vitamin B

    I've been feeling very lacklustre for several weeks. I've just realised that it coincided with my vitamin B tablets pot exhausting, as I took one last night and now I'm chipper again. As I'm a vegetarian I guess I just cannot enough from my diet. Should vitamin B tablets be given out to the...

    Most fragrant urinals

    Which stadium that you have visited had the most stinky toilets? It would have to be Fratton Park for me.

    Conor Thomas has come back hungry

    http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/conor-thomas-impresses-coventry-city-9681410 Is he going to fulfill his potential this year? Despite others' skepticism, I think he has all the makings of a fine player. Being dropped and the new manager may be exactly what he...

    Unrealistic signings

    Rather than guess the signings, almost all of which will be completely wrong, it could be better to guess unrealistic new blood. I'll kick off with Heath Robinson and Salvador Dali.

    Whatever happened to Coventry city centre?

    I left Coventry in 1981, having been lucky to be there during the punk revolution, enjoying the fantastic music scene at that time. Two (at least) fanzines: (Alternative Sounds and Private Enterprise); gigs every weekend with some great bands (Urge, Wild Boys, Specials until they became famous...

    Standing for CCC Leader

    I've had enough of the CCC and their venum against the Sky Blues. I have lots of contacts in Westminster and the Whitehouse and I'm going to get it sorted. I move in powerful circles and by the end the city will have a choice of nine or ten stadiums all owned by the club and we'll arrange it...

    Time for Madison to get into the gym this Summer?

    This time in 2012 Wilson was a skinny kid who got knocked off the ball pretty easily. He came back in August looking like a man - he'd obviously spent a long time bulking up during the Summer. Look at him now - I wouldn't be surprised to see him mentioned in an England squad sometime within...

    Which is the bluest club?

    A recent survey puts Man City and Everton as more blue than us. Reportedly it's the flirtation with white stripes that has pushed us down the table. But are we really less blue than QPR?

    Never played for us

    I wondered if I could put a side together of players who never played for City. My aim is to pick a side who we'd draw with if we played them now. GK: Bonetti (Chelsea) DF: Harriman (Luton) DF: Moore-Taylor (Exeter) DF: Woods (Shrewsbury) DF: Jarni (Hajduk Split) MF: Purcell (Corsham Park...

    It'll be fun to guess how many corners there will be against Notts County. I'm going with 14.

    the Great Escape?

    I've been slow to criticise SP, one never knows what is happening behind the scenes. However I simply cannot imagine the result yesterday without the change of manager. I wasn't there but have heard accounts that it is the best we have played for months. I really cannot see this being a step...

    CET: totally correct grammatical sentence shocker! Stokes trial.

    Preston Match Thread

    I reckon we could be surprised today - if the new signings are as good as I hope they are we might actually create something. I'm sure we will concede too so I'm going for a high scoring game. Five goals in total: 3-2 Preston.

    Pressley likes playing strikers on the wing

    http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/coventry-city-boss-believes-found-8552452 Well we knew that. But now he's quoted as saying it. "The Germans talk a lot about developing players as strikers and then playing them in the wide areas because when they play there they think goals...

    Players contracted for 15/15 season

    There's a good article in the CET re the number of players out of contract at the end of this season: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/look-eleven-coventry-city-players-8530702 I believe that the short-term contracts and loans are a big factor in our league...

    Draught survey

    Inspired by Michael, I have designed my own survey about draughts: 1. Do you like being really really cold? 2. Is cheese good as a draught excluder? 3. Which do you prefer? Bin liners or goldfish? 4. Do you think discounts are good for consumers? 5. How many fluid ounces in a pint?
