    Expect another delay

    The 'pre order brigade' are your low cost, high value, loyal customers, who are paying up front for stuff. Pissing them off is stupid, expensive, and probably impacts an easy income stream next season when some will hold off buying this way. This could clearly have been handled far, far...

    Expect another delay

    In my experience, the way to minimise customer issues is to get the comms right. It's about being open, honest, and fair to people, especially when things have gone wrong. The club consistently screw up on this, and people are understandably annoyed. Thinking people should just shut up and put...

    Expect another delay

    Which bit is out of the clubs hands, exactly? The comms is very much in control of the club, as is the process by which they release the stock (when it finally arrives). It seems fair to me that you release first to the people who've already paid for stuff, and were promised it ages ago.

    Transfer targets

    My <insert team name here> supporting mate, says that <insert new signing name here> is so useless that he offered to drive him here himself. 😁

    Expect another delay

    I don't know about "crying", but I don't see why the club should get a free pass on awful service just because they're Coventry City and we support them. If anything, I think most people have been reasonably tolerant. If it had been any other kind of business most customers would have been...

    48 hours remain

    Darn it, if only we'd bought the right strikers. It's not like proven top level strikers are hard to find or particularly expensive. We should ditch Simms and Wright straight away and use the money to buy Harry Kane or someone like that. Like Gyokeres, if you're not on fire immediately you're...

    Things that annoy you

    Which reminds me, I've not had a pie at the ground in years. Do they still heat them to nuclear core meltdown temperatures? That could be moderately annoying/scarring too...

    Things that annoy you

    I just remembered one.... 'Pies' that are actually just meat and gravy in a bowl with a slice of pastry sitting on the top. That is basically criminal misrepresentation.

    Things that annoy you

    Please, please,tell me you've just made that up! I'm not going to Google it either! 😄

    Worst kick off of all time?!

    San Marino, Stuart Pearce. Close thread. 😄

    Long throws

    Until they give additional points for artistic interpretation, a goal's a goal no matter how it gets there. I'll take an ugly goal all day over ten gorgeous misses. Use every weapon in your arsenal, attack in whatever way makes the opposition uncomfortable, imho. Variation is a good thing...

    Death List 2023

    James Taylor too, with very long hair. Looks a bit different now, but then don't we all! 😁

    Death List 2023

    Missed this too. Love Vanishing Point, you can't beat a classic road movie (see also, Two Lane Blacktop, Easy Rider etc. etc.). Barry Newman was superbly, effortlessly, cool in that film. Pretty good in Petrocelli too, as I recall, don't think he ever did finish that house. 🙂

    Forum night out

    Good thinking. I'll be the one waving a sky blue scarf.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    And yes it does sound a bit careless doesn't it. If I was Prigozhin I'd have been living in a windowless bungalow, eating solely out of tins, avoiding door handles and suspicious underwear, and doing the school run in a tank (that someone else started for me). 😁

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I take your point mate, which is that of a decent human being. Given that it sounds like at least some of the others in the plane were Wagner too though, I'm more of the "fuck 'em and let them rot in hell" opinion. The only thing that could've made it better was if the jet could've crashed...

    Forum night out

    I'm only attending if I can bring my shinpads, cricket box, and gumshield. Actually, has anyone got a bulletproof vest I can borrow? Asking for a friend. 😄

    Mason Greenwood

    I think it's the nature of the crime, Pete, and the fact that people could judge for themselves to some degree based on the social media releases. I'm all for rehabilitation, but for me the offender has to genuinely accept their guilt, that what they did was wrong, and to be absolutely sincere...

    Not in this country, Pete, but I fancy he'll go abroad. Saudi Arabia maybe?

    King et al vs SISU

    Personally speaking, I'm entirely happy to be rid of SISU but I'm also far too cynical to completely trust King... yet. Off the pitch it's clearly still a bit of a mess, and (imho) they've got the kid's (edit: walk-up) pricing in particular horribly wrong. I hope they'll look at that again. I'm...
