A bit random I know but I was watching a movie the other night with my son, and he just asked me if I had one choice what film I would have liked to have been in and what character I would play ? After giving it some thought and getting it down to one I chose a Cagney film : White Heat, a great...

A pal of mine joined a gym paying a fair amount of money to join etc,but he's jacked it in after a few months.I used to go myself years ago but much prefer to keep fit by walking and work out at home now and again,plus my job of window cleaning keeps me fit anyway.Do you think gyms are a rip...

On Twitter it says Crouch is coming to us till the end of the season on loan from Stoke.In the paper on Sunday it said he was unhappy at not playing each game at Stoke,so it could be a good signing ?

Really enjoyed the FA Cup ties this weekend and it looks like most clubs are taking it seriously again,and I admit I was thinking I wish we were still in it to be honest.I said I was glad we were out of it so we could concentrate on the league on a thread when we got knocked out,but there's...

Without sounding morbid what music act do you miss and would love to return for a one off concert ? Inspired to do this thread after talking to a Lemmy fan yesterday who's in mourning for his Rock hero.Myself it would be Bon Scott of ACDC fame,who was the heartbeat of the band I reckon. Also...

Callum Wilson is going to be a top striker without doubt,and so too is our Geordie hot-shot Adam Armstrong.But talking in the pub at the weekend about which of them is the better all round player,the verdict was split between us all,but I reckon Callum edges it for me. What do you reckon...

The best of 2015 for me is the progress being made under Tony Mowbray,and the fine form of his talented squad.The worst away from football is the evil menace of ISIS and their barbarity shown in the Paris killings.

Not long in from my window cleaning round and couldn't believe how benevolent all of my customers were today.I never ever ask for a Christmas tip like the refuge collectors used to do,but leave that to the customer.Yet every one gave me extra on top of the cleaning charge,except an Indian couple...

As a kid used to love the Boxing Day fixture at Highfield Road especially when the pitch was snow covered. But the best ever Christmas game I've ever seen was on the 27th of December in the 77-78 season,when we beat Norwich 5-4 in a thriller. This match has been mentioned on here before,but it...

It's common knowledge that many City fans dislike Villa and Leicester City,but besides those two are there other clubs that are disliked ? I have loathed Man United since the 70's as they used to waltz into Highfield Road and take over most of the ground,and it used to really piss me off. And...

Can't stand pigeons as they are cheeky and all over the place these days.And dislike them even more as this morning while cleaning out a gutter for a customer,one flew off the roof just by my head and almost knocked me off my ladders. It got me thinking what animal would you like to kill off ?

I know it doesn't feel like Winter but looking through my record collection I found some great tracks with titles linked to the cold season.Cold As Ice-Foreigner. Black Night-Deep Purple.40 Below-David Lee Roth.And my favourite:Trapped Under Ice-Metallica. Any other suggestions ?

I was cleaning the windows of a house on Henley Road yesterday and as I cleaned round the back I left my ladders at the front. The woman was making me a cuppa in the kitchen when she shouted to me :" Someone's taking your ladders." I raced round and the bloke had dropped the ladders and was...

I finally got hold of a copy of Got,Not Got,The Lost World Of Coventry City.It came out last year and if anyone hasn't read it yet it's a brilliant book.I can see why it has been classed as one of the best football books ever,as it's full of stuff that all City fans will remember but that...

Been compiling another Rockblock for Planet Rock radio this time on tracks with spooky titles etc for Halloween. Chosen tracks like The Witches Promise-Jethro Tull Hells Bells-ACDC Psycho Killer-Talking Heads-Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter-Iron Maiden,and a few more. Any more suggestions ?

With so many pubs closing down these days we got talking in the boozer recently what was our favourite pub that is no longer around ? Many were mentioned but we could only choose one and a club.I chose the Acorn in Ringwood Highway and The General Wolfe as I miss the bands. Any others missed ?

Been hearing that we're in for a bad winter and as I work outdoors that is grim news.But then again the "experts" say that every year and it's never that bad is it ? I manage to carry on okay so just hope it's scaremongering and nothing more. But with the new turf at the Ricoh games at home...

A group of us in the pub last night were talking about magicians like Dynamo and David Blaine as someone had seen Dynamo at one of his live shows.He said the stuff he did was awesome and he left trying to work out how he did it all ? One bloke said it is just tricks while another said it is just...

I know he loves himself but you have to say he is one hell of a footballer.He's just equalled the Real Madrid scoring record and has just notched his 500th career goal and will no doubt go on to bang in many more.So you have to put him up there with the all time greats even though Messi is...

Talking to a mate of mine who like me loves his music he asked : " What is the best ever rock record ?" I wanted to know his first and he reckons it's Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin.That always tops the lists every year in most rock polls,but there is a track by Iron Maiden in my view that...
