    National Anthems

    I was at Craven Cottage a few years ago for a friendly between Ireland and Italy. The ground was full and split 50/50 between the Irish and the Italians. I have to say that the singing of the Italian anthem was one of the highlights of the evening. To a man and woman they blasted out that song...

    In the record books that will count as draw after extra time. During the actual game we were undefeated. I had Derby to beat Barrow yesterday, which they did on pens. The bookies won't pay out as after 90 mins it was a draw.

    I presume we go back on the CCFC website and put in the code that came via email? I connected alap top to the TV via a HDMI cable and it worked fine for Posh games last week.

    Thanks for that, but are they talking. Apologies if you feel you can't say.

    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    I remember that game well. Firstly, the referee was a Mr Singh, the first time I can remember an Asian official. I have to say he wasn't very good but added to what was a memorable afternoon. We went down to 10 men fairly early in the game as Bennett had handled the ball outside of the box. (he...

    Fans back in !!! kinda

    A possible additional problem to our attending matches is that Birmingham, at the moment, is one step away from lock down again. I can't imagine we would be allowed to attend if the situation gets worse or perhaps even if it stays at the same level. Another reason why we could do with being...

    Would 1 more promotion sort the club out completely?

    Yep, I know and think that that is great. I just wondered if you know from your various contacts if they are still speaking. If they are there is always hope that somehow all parties will see sense.

    Robins best ever signing

    I would agree on Ogogo, Brown and Kastaneer. Andreu is hard to judge as he may have succeeded if not for serious injury. Vincenti, looked like a fish out of water, never looked convincing but did play a fair number of games that season and did contribute to the team's success. I wouldn't class...

    Match Thread Southampton friendly Tuesday

    I think you are bending the facts slightly to fit your argument. Max scored goals in the FA Cup against Bristol Rovers and Ipswich. Neither were weakened teams and both were League One. Are all the League One goals we scored against these teams last season to be devalued? I think you are showing...

    My favourite City manager and team ( the Fergie and Wallace version. I only just caught the tail end of JH as manager of the club so can’t really count him).

    Item Coventry Blitz

    The writer plays down the possibility of Coventry being sacrificed although he does site evidence to the contrary as well. What did surprise me was that Coventry was virtually defenceless. No air defence at all. It did seem that all the effort had gone in to protecting London. On the 14th the...

    Item Coventry Blitz

    It mentions in the book that the Green Lane area was bombed quite badly. Was the Standard factory near by? Sorry to go on about thee book but it does mention a few times that young lads of 15 or 16 were out on these nights cycling around the city and acting as messengers as communications were...

    Item Coventry Blitz

    Well, there's a coincidence because I am reading the exact same book! I am about half way through. I was particularly interested in the couple of pages on the Alvis factory as I did my apprenticeship there in the 70s. It still had a network of underground shelters which were used in those days...

    Podcast Liam Kelly Special

    I enjoyed listening to this. I thought it was really insightful when he was talking about the Exeter play off final and how much he wanted to win, how he and the team were determined to dominate from the start and not give Exeter a chance. I felt he really conveyed well the mindset of a...
