Frightening to think how much they’d charge to send you a card.

Coventry RFC had a decent 15 all draw away at Nottingham today. That’s Coventry RFC, so named because they’re from Coventry. A club with a long and distinguished history who have always played here and, oddly enough, nowhere else.

“Chortle” ...if Viz created a character called smug Wasps twat that’s how they’d have him speaking. Lifelong City fan my arse.

Wasps and the other premiership rugby clubs are also trying to pull up the trapdoor behind them and abolish promotion and relegation. Thus stamping all over the chances of Cov or any other club doing an Exeter and rising. Contemptuous of sport. So long as they are ok that’s all that matters.

I firmly believe that sport is entertainment and not religion, that grown men should not get too carried away by sport, and, perhaps most importantly, that this is a free country where people can spend their leisure time and money as they see fit. I also firmly believe that anyone who professes...

Doyler came across as very self-deprecating, acknowledging that he was out of his depth at Celtic, and being pretty modest about his fitness. But his value was shown yesterday once again. Probably not his best performance granted, pretty hard work I imagine at his age in midfield against such...

Brilliant stuff. Interview after interview we get to know the players far better than we’ve ever known them before. So often players are cagey but Ol has the knack of getting them to open up and it’s as if they are having a chat in the pub with a mate. Yes the background noise can be a bit...

It does seem to depend what mood he’s in! I agree that so far this season he has looked a real handful for defences and, hopefully, there’s a lot more to come from him. I wouldn’t fancy playing against him, so good luck if and when you get to do one of your interviews.

Always a good read, always fair, always entertaining, keep it up!

I think I may have some bad news for the MPS Football Unit. Their ‘no Cov’ plan may not work!

He played some neat little dinks today as well, and a couple of decent through balls. I thought he did ok. I’m led to understand that some of the players privately prefer playing away because of the abuse they get and not hard to see why. There’s a big difference between a collective groan...

Have to say I thought it was tremendous. Lot of talk about it being a home game for Sunderland but whilst they made some noise after they scored,we made a lot of noise throughout. Before they scored and after we did they were pretty quiet. Blocks 14 and 15 usually pretty much on their own but...

Have watched all three of these interviews and two things really impress me for a lad of SkyBlueOl’s age, in fact for any interviewer doing a piece to camera. One is that the interviews have clearly been shot in one take. The other is the research into the player’s career. Unscripted he...

As with Tom Davies and Jack Grimmer I think it’s fantastic that these players give up their time like this for you. Jordan comes across as a really decent lad and it’s touching to hear how much he gets out of re-watching those special moments. Player by player the rest of us are getting a...

4 of us off to England v Spain. Relaxing evening watching a match without trepidation every time the opposition attack. Obviously want England to do well and win but a pleasant change to be able to actually enjoy a match. Plus great to return to Wembley with such fantastic memories from last...

In the news that a company called CVC who previously got involved with Formula 1, have bid 275 million to take over Premiership Rugby. The day that the deal is signed there’s 17 million per club. I imagine most are desperate for the cash, especially our parasitical landlords, and such a cash...

What we in the stands sometimes forget is that a good pass can be made into an apparently bad pass because of pretty good anticipation by an opponent and/or failure to anticipate by a team-mate. I think if any of us were on that pitch we’d be amazed at how little time and space we were allowed.

Perfect example on Saturday. Rochdale had a throw-in about level with their penalty area. No pressure on them whatsoever. Said to the lads ‘watch what happens if we have a throw in a similar position’. Sure enough Rochdale pressured and harassed and won possession. Robins talks about other...

Robins said himself that hard luck stories don’t cut it and lead to relegation, but...we created more than enough chances to beat Scunthorpe and Rochdale and by all accounts Gillingham too. Fine margins. All three of those sides must count themselves somewhat fortunate that we put so many...

There used to be over a dozen of us meeting up in the pub, sometimes swelled to about 30. Probably 4/5 left. The thing is though they can and hopefully will come back if the experience gets better again. They’d be some of these mythical ‘glory fans’ coming out of the woodwork. I hope they do!
