    Coventry City XI

    Oggy Peake Breen Pearce Borrows Ndlovu Bennett Hutchison Froggatt Dublin Speedie Subs Hedman Dann McAllister Thompson Bourton (Anyone who can score that many goals whatever era has to be useful) I was very young when Hutchison played but he sticks in my memory.

    Murphy Signs!

    Pleased with this and it means competition for the position which invariably means better performances (at least in theory :) )

    Winter is Coming

    Big fan of A Game of Thrones; waiting for the next book to be released in July. Good old TV in NZ (terrestrial and Sky) have no plans of showing the series. I only discovered it had been made into a series the other day! Amazon...

    LEICESTER at the Ricoh first game of season!!

    Looking forward to it again, this time round though I can also pick a few games I'll be able to get to. Hopefully will be back in Blighty for the match v Hull, probably have to do family things on Boxing day (hard to get out of these things when it's my first Christmas in England for 6 years)...

    Football Manager 2012

    I bought FM2011 when it was released; it was the first FM I pruchased since it was still CM. I have to say I have enjoyed it but I don't get much chance to play - also managed to lose a saved game. Currently managing Blyth Spartans way down in the BSP, I enjoy the LLM challenge. The press...

    FA fail to stop FIFA election

    Oldskyblue58: there is little I can find to argue against in what you have said, except I don't think the guy from Argentina being a huge critic is a surprise - they'll always use any excuse to snipe England. I think both the FA and the Premier League need to sit down and discuss a forward...

    Barcelona v Man Utd preview

    Had to watch the later re-run on ESPN here in NZ. First time I've seen Barcelona this season (always on when I am at work when they've been on TV). Wow, it was impressive; all those passes along or just above the ground and all seemed to be completed, and the pressing to re-gain the ball was...

    Sir Alex Ferguson

    Nick, that's the problem I have with him and my original bully remark - no one should be able to have so much power over the people who run the game (be it the FA or the Premier League). Granted that those two associations should grow some b@11s but that is still not an excuse to be able to get...

    Sir Alex Ferguson

    In the light of the recent Ryan Giggs scenario I have decided to seek opinions as to whether Sir Alex is a 'bit' of a bully? I am of the opinion that he can be. I saw on the BBC web site the little conversation he had with his (I'm guessing) press secretary suggesting banning the journalist who...

    Brody and Clouting at the Ricoh on Sunday

    Thanks for taking the time to write up and post this article; it makes interesting reading.

    Lord Sugar Tackles Football

    Unfortunately I cannot access this video, but I think I read a BBC blog or article that referenced this. There are some fair points and I think there has to be 'a line in the sand' now, although like rob sods law it'll be Cov that are the example. It is mad that something so big in terms of...

    Phonecall from club

    If anyone from the club wants to ring me I'd love a ST and stadium tour... :wave: Just need flight tickets to go with that too. Yes, I am bored at work.

    Triesman makes Fifa accusations

    What a surprise, corruption allegations against FIFA, that really is very unusual for such an upstanding old boy club. I'm sure a severe telling off and a letter of appology will sort out such behaviour. ;)

    What should we aim for next season?

    These last ten games have been a source of optimism without a doubt and despite my original caution I am glad AT has got the job when he did. In response to the question I think it would be prudent to see what the summer brings in regards to player commings and goings before speculating on an...

    Cycling

    Had a similar theft experience and crap insurance payout and didn't get a new bike I love watching road races, often stay up until the very early hours to watch coverage here of the Tour de France. Also did a couple of bunch races when I lived in the Cook Islands (only 31 km around the whole...

    Why don't we see more Asian football supporters up the Ricoh?

    I think there is a lot in what Rich said... Here in the North Island of NZ there is a growing Indian population and cricket and hockey is their sport of choice, there is little or no interest in rugby or football and those that do have a vague passing interest in ManUre, Liverpool or Chelsea.
