    Has seeing the lads play made you more or less optimistic about the season

    Went toe to toe with a Premier League standard squad, not just an eleven. Could and should have won. Goals change games and 2-0 to us would have probably made their home atmosphere toxic and made it very hard for them to come back. 1-1 gave them momentum and they took advantage. No doubt they...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Leicester City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 6th Aug

    That’s football. Pity is that it feels a bit like Wembley. We should have scored three and then we’d have won, but we missed sitters. Under the cosh first half but all over them second. We were stood right next to the mutants and when we were on top they all turned their backs and could’t look...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Some of their former big wigs should really be in prison. Is it too late for Duggins, Reeve, Maton & Co to fund a rescue package? I suspect if the full truth ever came out there might be several collars felt by Inspector Knacker, as never has a relationship looked more corrupt. Likewise...

    The £500 deal

    What the hell, went for the £500. No fool like an old fool

    The £500 deal

    I’m glass half full. Last year turned 60 and was branded a ‘senior citizen’ which I didn’t much care for. However the reduced price helped me get over the calumny. This year they announce that I’m no longer a coffin dodger but charge me £400!

    Can we get a point at Boro?

    Can you begin to imagine the Sunderland meltdown if we kick off late, know their score means we just need a point, and Boro and us kick it about for the last few minutes. Please God, let that happen.

    The Southam CCFC Supporters Club is pretty impressive for such a small place, filling a coach to a lot of away games

    Police

    Ali G was amongst the Year 12s furious at us for most of the match. Very scary bunch (if you were Year 10 maybe). There was one special chap in a black T shirt who when Vik scored acted like he was King Kongs harder brother. A few seconds later a plastic bottle was lobbed from our side which...

    Saturdays atmosphere

    The noise in the corner was that loud today I wasn’t even aware other parts of the ground were singing. In the old West End in the 70s you sometimes couldn’t hear your self think but today was the loudest I’ve ever known

    Those were indeed the days. Really thought we were heading out of the league.

    Saturdays gate…

    The question which I have never seen answered satisfactorily is why empty blocks are needed for segregation at the CBS but not at Celtic, Chelsea or any other Premier League ground? Agreed that it’s not an issue when the ground is half full, but not when the demand is there, as it is for...

    RIP OldSkyBlue58

    Thats shocking. Easily one of the most informative members of the forum. We may bicker but in some ways we are a family and this feels like a loss for us all. Very sad.

    Grimsby Town

    Well the night we beat Man City 4-3 with a David Thompson screamer just about everybody thought we’d be the two teams to go up automatically!

    Grimsby Town

    I wondered at the time if that was true then why didn’t he use that fiendish tactic away at Liverpool or Chelsea and only field 9 players.

    Mark Robins 300 games

    Well I go back as far as Noel Cantwell. He took us to 6th in the top flight and Europe. Gordon Milne 7th, George and John won the FA Cup. Jimmy Hill so far has to be our greatest ever manager but if Mark Robins takes us to the Premier League given what he started with and what he’s had to...

    Home v Sunderland 12.30, Sky, £33 a ticket

    I think their issue with Jimmy Hill is not so much the late kick off but the fact that when their game at Everton ended we all knew that if our result stayed at 2-2 then both Bristol City and ourselves were safe. So a truce was called and neither side tried until the final whistle. They blame...
