I think the standard practice is to hone your fitness in the first few and hone your tactics in the final few. Make sure all the players who are likely to make an appearance have got a bit of match sharpness and make sure you have had a chance to see a few different combinations at work in...

I was talking about your opinion that AT contributed to a poor performance on Saturday. Well, yes, he is the manager. Of course he had an influence. But, if you can't pin down his tactical deficiencies as a non-attendee, I was left puzzled as to what you based this particular aspect of your...

Your opinion was formed despite not having attended the game, was it not? In fact, it was more than likely formed last season. It may be right and it may be wrong; I suspect there are elements of both in what you say. I'm holding fire on my opinion of how this season will turn out and how our...

Incidentally, it was a far superior pun to the Dale Winton one I saw earlier. That was one of your very worst. I am aware of the magnitude of my statement.

It did, but repeat it in case you get a smattering of applause second time around..?

I suspect Paynter could do a job with a change of scenery, despite Leeds fans being pretty uniformly on his back. I would rather have Richard Wood than Rob Jones, but I guess that one would all come down to finances.

That sweeping generalisation offends me, Nick.

I think you are both the same person on the verge of a massive break down.

Fair enough, there is too much there to go on and this has been a dull extension of a tired old pre-season debate. I concede and opt out of prolonging this conversation (read into that whatever you like).

Fair enough, I look forward to your paper being released. There just seems to be more people who attribute clearly ridiculous statements to 'the other side' than there does the actual use of said statements. I am not looking for your evidence base... got too hung up with all this bollocks at...

Any names or just the usual tokenistic 'this is the opposite to what I think, marvel at how silly it is'?

Fair enough, I have better things to do than to scroll through all threads and copy and post the relevant sections. If you have a look yourself, I'm sure you could pick one or two off. I have started you off with the 'borderline illiterate' comment. And I would say 'many threads' rather than...

It would look like his head. Except without a face, hopefully.

A despicable comment. Suggesting Thorn has an unkempt vagina.

Ok, there was one two days ago calling him a 'borderline illiterate'. But you are missing the point, Rich. The point is not that the OP is talking about posts which berate him as a person. They are in the minority. There is a tendency to berate his ability as manager. Which is fine. This is a...

Everyone will be just fine, don't be silly. We are Coventry City fans, not Andy Thorn fans. No one holds his employment in higher esteem than the Club we support. Can we wind in the ridiculous and deal with what is written in black and white?

Think that was a typo and he meant 'if a manager offers you the prestigious number 9 shirt that must help' rather than 'if a manager offers youths prestigious number 9 shirt. That must help'.

I suspect it was SISU's lack of expenditure which kept him in a job, in all honesty. I meant 'being quite a shit football team' > 'style of play'.

Awful comments are very rarely made. There is the occasional bit of childishness which raises its head about Thorn's appearance and intellect, but those who are genuinely offended need a little more perspective. The only gripe many have is that many threads are hi-jacked (it really doesn't...

I thought he was talking about the corresponding fixture a year earlier. If he was talking about the season as a whole, I'm sure he was referring to overall state of play and not final league position.
