    Keogh to Leeds and Joe Elliot on the train back from Brum

    They would've been very bright days if BR hadn't stuck with that fucking ginger clown as manager.

    Sign him up!

    Zuniga had a terrific record...in Peru. Looked much to lightweight for English football. Met him after a game once & got his autograph, he was TINY. The real scandal was how Strachan treated John Aloisi.

    Sign him up!

    Jesus Strachan spent a lot of money on a lot of shit players didn't he. I remember going to a fans' forum in London with Macca not long after he took over, & he expressed his amazement at the poor quality of some of the players Strachan had brought in - he didn't name names but it was in...

    Training scrap

    A mate of mine used to live next door to Robert Page when he was at Sheff Utd, always said what a great bloke he was, thing they were fairly regular drinking partners for a while. Smokin' hot missus by all accounts too.

    The Peter Reid Effect

    Monkeyheid has worked his magic again at Plymouth: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13184984.stm League 2 next season, even that is too high a level for a man of such limited ability.

    Manager update from Ken and controversy

    That foreign guy was Laszlo Boloni, who took over from ex-City player Jean-Guy Wallemme at RC Lens in January, and is doing a great job of steering them from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2. Reckon we had a lucky escape there.

    Who is your second team?

    St Etienne, used to live there & have had some great nights at the Geffroy Guichard. Cracking atmosphere whoever the opposition - standing terraces and last time I was there you could take cans of beer in with you.

    How is all began in the championship ...

    Bloody hell, note the picture caption - "O'Neill battles hard for Coventry". That's as rare as a shot of the Loch Ness monster.

    How is all began in the championship ...

    I had 2 quid on Hughes to score first and Cov to win 2-0 at 33/1. It was indeed a great day :D

    Gary Neville

    I don't want any more managerial beginners at CCFC. It rarely works out, & if it does, then they'll be snapped up by a bigger club before they've had chance to really build anything anyway. Only one currently available candidate stands out for me, Steve McLaren. Yes he made a bit of a tool of...

    Boothroyd's possible replacements

    Why would Lee Clark swap Huddersfield for Coventry? The two clubs are moving in opposite directions. From that list, I'd be happy with Di Matteo, Roly or even Shteve McLaren. Dennis Wise, please god noooooooo, and please, no ex-players looking for their first break in management.

    Boothroyd Sacked!

    I'm sure a queue of aspiring managers is forming at the Ricoh even as I type. But seriously, WTF do they expect? Even Mourinho couldn't make a silk purse out of the sow's arse that is CCFC. OK, someone new might come in & galvanise the squad enough for us to avoid the drop zone, but what about...

    Forum for City fans that live away from Cov

    Vietnam Born & raised in Cov, left in 1986 to go to uni in Lancaster, then lived in France & London and came to live in Vietnam in 2003, where I run my own travel business. There are 2 other Sky Blues in Ho Chi Minh City to my knowledge.

    Where is the Love?

    Pain in the arse to get to, nowhere decent to have a drink nearby, and it just doesn't have any character at all. HR wasn't the best stadium in the world but by Championship standards it was one of the best & was more than ample for our requirements - we only filled it a couple of times a year...

    Where is the Love?

    I've only been to the Ricoh once (I live overseas and rarely come back to the UK) but since we left HR it just doesn't feel like my club any more. Moving stadiums was the biggest mistake the club has ever made (and I include appointing Butcher as manager in that). 15,000 people in HR could make...
