From conception to near expulsion the Ricoh Arena has been one long nightmare as far as Coventry City FC are concerned. It's never been our true home and never will be by the looks of things. Everytime we get a little bit of good news about the football it is always watered down by the off field...

:emoji_rage: 1:0

Chelsea in our relegation season from the Prem. We started off really well until a through ball had a young Chris Kirkland rushing off his line to make a save at the feet of Hasselbaink. Who instead of trying to beat the keeper thought it better to engineer the merest of touches which caused...

I'll never forget that one, my nippers were fairly young, under 5 I think. Anyway I decided it would be their first away game. For some reason I put them in the car with no thought of the weather and it was bitter. We got there late just in time to hear the first goal go in. Within 10 minutes of...

Absolutely gutted! I really hate hope! :emoji_rage: Still if we beat the Shrews and Donny 6:0 we have a chance!

Well that's another junk of my late teens disappearing out of football. Hope there is an ambassadors role of some sort waiting for him. Still remember that unbelievable save he pulled off from Ian Wright at Highbury if my memory serves me correctly. It was going top bins and somehow he got to...

Got to be Hiwula for me too closely followed by Hyam. Liked his willingness to adapt to a new position and worked out how to add goals to his game from there.

Not that I give toss about the Wasps generally but could the alleged financial irregularities cause them that much of a problem or are we just talking a slap on the wrist?

You're probably right. Even now after nearly 20 years I still think about many of the Premier league stadiums we used to visit on a regularly basis like it was yesterday. It took a very long time to adjust to the decline but Robins has brought in that feel good factor. He deserves the backing...

Perhaps I should have mentioned I live in London these days! ;)

Sooooo! Mackem means make them and haway means away/hurrah! Bloody hell, I'm not sure I can be bothered with all that. I think the next time we're up there I'll talk to them normally and see if it catches on.

If the Notts County game Biamou shows up then great but if it takes a season for him to get up to speed then he will be a bit part player. I fear for Jones though as it may end up being a psychological issue as much as physical one and in any event we're unlikely to see him until mid season. We...

Makes you wonder why it's such an effort to use the words child, mate and throw! Right about the embellished Chinese whispers though! Just haway and Mackem to go and I should be able to converse with the locals.

Your lucky she only calls you Victor. The wife reckons she would have a much easier time if she was married to him instead. To which I replied "I don't believe it!!". One of us laughed at that one! :emoji_sunglasses:

I know we've moved on by now and I've probably spent way too long entertaining myself reading some of the drivel on the Sunderland forum but can someone explain to me what the following words actually mean? Hoy, bairn, marra, haway, oh and Mackem!! I can make a rough guess at one or two but...

.. and avatar ;)

Bright's a weird one. From what I have seen of him I can't quite work out whether he just oozes class and everyone else is struggling to keep up with his thought processes or he doesn't know what he's going to do until he does it which is equally a struggle for the team and opposition! But if...

Really enjoyed the way we approached the game (shortcomings aside) but the thing that ticked me off is having to sit in seat 1, pitch level in the wheelchair bays with the Fratton End faithful. There's no wheelchair bays for away fans and the wife wanted to go so we were stuck with the...

Surely we can't be as bad as we were last season? My recollection was Stanley scoring two goals and keeping the ball for the other 88mins - a real men against boys encounter in front of a near full house. I'm expecting another close encounter similar to Donny and hopefully the same result! 2:1

There's just no comparison between Leicester's former owner and our lot. There could be 91 perfect owners in the football league structure but SISU would be the one wearing "it's just ruthless business, nothing personal" badge of honour while seeking new ways to destabilise the club and fanbase...
