    Jesus banner after the game

    Remember when we had our own Jesus under the scoreboard? Great for getting a song going as once the cry went up “Jesus, Jesus give us a song” he’d put his hands out in front of him as messiahs do, all would hush and then follow his lead. Hero status not unenhanced by defying stewards to run on...

    Booing a player as he comes on

    Some imbecile in Block 15 today actually booed Bakayoko as he came on. That is going to help how exactly? People around him reacted angrily and looked likely to kick off except the booer didn’t seem to have the balls!

    Scunthorpe sack manager

    Football management is so complex. Gary Rowatt - apparently a really promising manager. Birmingham sacked him when they were 7th and look where that got them. His stock soared after that but possibly facing sack at Stoke. Mourinho, managerial genius a year or two ago, probably facing sack in...

    Video Leamington & Warwick Supporters Club - August Meeting

    I think this supporters club is fantastic. Over 100 people there last night, enthusiastic, energised. That club is now taking coach loads of fans to every away match. There’s possibly more Cov fans going away from Leamington alone than some clubs can muster. Juggy has built a really positive...

    Jack Grimmer Podcast

    Fantastic stuff. Puts many a professional journalist to shame with your research and the way you encourage the players to open up. Jack and Tom both top blokes for giving you their time and I think it’s great that we get to know them a bit as people and not just the shirts that we expect to...

    Tom Davies Podcast

    I think your new profile picture is an obvious choice!

    Tom Davies Podcast

    Top, top man to give up time on a Wednesday night to help out a young fan like this. And great interviewing by SkyblueOl too. Letting the player speak rather than doing all the talking, a lot of professional interviewers could learn from you, yet still keeping it flowing, brilliant! Really...

    Ched Evans

    According to some sources he’s rejected us in favour of Bradford. Lucky them. Reminds me of an old Monty Python joke about Nixon having an arsehole transplant but the arsehole rejected him.

    Ernie Hunt

    I’m 56 now. According to my mother I announced when I was about 7 that I was henceforth to be addressed as ‘Ernie’. Big part of my formative years gone, very sad news. RiP Ernie.

    Biamou

    Once he got going he did really well. A couple of wonder strikes, two overhead kicks. Max clearly loves the club and we (well bar one or two distinguished members of the awkward squad) love him.

    Shipley Surprising a Young Fan

    So much going the right way at the moment. Notts County away, Wembley, the bus, upturn in season ticket sales, the spontaneous generosity of fans chipping in to buy season tickets for other less well-off fans, this! Mark Robins and Michael Doyle should take a lot of credit as should the other...

    Jordan Shipley

    How is the video of Grendel’s top five graceful and humble moments coming on? I particularly liked the grudging admission that he isn’t always right, oh, hang on!

    most ever CCFC fans in one ground

    Was there at Upton Park - there is committed support and then there is a collection of nasty fuckers who just want to hurt people. West Ham, like Man Utd in those days and Chelsea and Leeds and Spurs, bullies. Fine when there’s a mob of them, individually no harder than anyone else...

    Interviews

    In years to come we’ll be thinking “he’s one of our own” when you’re on the telly. Years of anti-Cov bias from the likes of that omni-twat Gary Newbon and all the other pro Wolves, Derby, Villa, Leicester etc Midlands presenters who seemed to have an agenda that we didn’t exist. Great stuff...

    Shit Coventry players

    Larry Lloyd. Bought for a huge fee, fat and lazy and useless. Until Cloughie got hold of him. Honourable mentions to Gary Collier, Dave Jones and Keith O’Neil but worst I have seen by a mile was John Gayle.

    Which Club Gets Under Your Skin?

    Every other team when they score against us. Totally irrational I know and I’m not 6 any more but in my 50s. I just instantly develop the desire to machine gun the players hugging each other and the fans celebrating. I know they are all just like us and we do it but somehow it is different...

    Sunderland fans

    Any group of people is going to contain a spectrum of intelligence, personality, aggression etc. They are no different, nor are we. Not all Leeds fans are violent, racist scum and not all Norwich or Swindon fans are inbred village idiots. This Sunderland thing is a bit weird though. I was at...

    Lee Hughes bankrupt

    I wouldn’t have cared if he’d scored 80 goals in a season for us, his actions in leaving the scene of a fatal crash to avoid being done for drink driving were those of a complete scumbag - instant end of any hero status.

    John Hartson

    We replaced Robbie Kean with Bellamy. A big reason why we went down as he was next to useless. Missed no end of one on ones. Couldn’t believe it when we offloaded him to Newcastle for about what we paid for him. His subsequent career showed we were just unlucky (that makes a change!)...

    The woeful Ricoh P.A. system

    My mother-in-law has just taken up the announcing. She holds the phone upside down when she calls us so I’m used to it. She was telling the Luton fans “you’re in the top two so make some shagging noise you sad bastards” - nothing to do with aisles.
