    since 1990

    I was 12 in that glorious year of '87 - where does the time go? I think my first experience of CCFC was as a toddler watching from my living room window as the Villa fans were being escorted away from Highfield road by policemen on horses. Anyway, despite everything and our sad demise and...

    Prediction League 2012 / 2013 Thread

    Ouch, in the last 2 seasons I do not think I have ever been so low in the league. Good job there is a long way to go.

    BBC Olympic mistakes thread

    I can't comment about the mistakes the BBC make but to be honest I miss it. When you go abroad to live you suddenly realise what they try to achieve. Other nations I have lived in and seen TV of are usually loads more partisan than the BBC; make huge amounts of mistakes and it is often difficult...

    England v italy

    Miserable night of footie. In the end I just wanted the Italians to put us out of our misery; sad to say that. Rooney has not performed for England in any tournament for whatever reason, but he is the best we have. As long as the premier league makes the money then the national side will suffer...

    Very worrying times ahead

    This post is just an expression of frustration - I am sure that everyone else is thinking this, but I have no one to vent spleen at here! Why is the club even looking at signing new players considering that we have a transfer embago? It is nonsensical - someone needs to explain to the club...

    New Sky Blue Trust Open Meeting Reminder

    All the best with this and reviving the SBT - is there anything an overseas supporter can do to contribute?

    Ah the JOY of it.......Joy Seppalla talks

    "Hi CET editor here , would you mind answering some questions I am posing to keep the CCFC fans happy?" "Certainly" "OK here goes:" What is your name? What is your quest? What is the air speed velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

    Old SkyBlue. His clarity and understanding of the workings of the clubs (lack of) finances.

    Sunday morning...

    So I have finally woken up to the result I have been dreading: the one that condemed us to League 1; not that I wasn't expecting it but hope springs eternal. I doubt it'll be such a big effect to me compared to those of you who get to games every week and especially those who make the away...

    Coventry City V Coventry Bees

    I remember the likes of Ole Olsen and Mitch Shirra and some awesome team riding, before the vamping up with laid-down engines :facepalm:

    finding cov fans in random places...

    When I was working in Cumbria one of the blokes I was working with was a Cov fan - both found out that each of us was a COv fan when we wore our shirts during a wear your colours to work day and simultaneously said "Ah, so you're the other one". :) Suppose you had to be there. I have seen 2...

    Are we going to stay up?

    The bottom 4 are as bad as each other and I can't see any of them going on a 'run', so if we don't lose at Bristol and beat Donny that will be our best shot. Winning only 9 matches all season and suddenly able to win 7 or 8 isn't going to happen (much as I'd love it to). Fortunately Bristol and...

    English or British?

    English - so much so I left ;) If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once her flowers to love, her ways to roam...

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

    Yes yes yes! Had to pinch myself! Can I claim this win? Had to bring my daughter into hospital (she's sick but gonna be ok - lots of tests today) last night so Covs win is a small positive :) Cheers.

    Andy Thorn Resigns ?

    I think it just emphasises and underlines how infinitesimal SISU and KD's knowledge and understanding of football is - what did the bloke expect, a huge cheer? The only time I've seen non club personel on the bench is when Canterbury Crusaders Super 14 rugby team ran a fan comp to win the...

    Sunday morning on the other side of the world... cheer me up

    Cheers folks, some chuckles here. Melbourne - I can manage one A League game over the course of the weekend; yes Cov probably would struggle.
