    Frank de Boer sacked by Palace after 4 league games

    OK they didn't start well, but played OK at Burnley. Hardly the manager's fault the players missed some sitters that day. I think this may be a new record for the Premier League - fewest League games by a "permanent" manager before getting the sack. Ridiculous decision-making.

    A female's perspective on some of our fans

    Took the mrs on Saturday, we are/were also planning to go to Cambridge a week on Sat and Luton in a few weeks' time. She seemed uncomfortable and distracted for much of the second half and on the way home she said she didn't want to go to Cambridge or Luton any more, had changed her mind. I'l...

    Beavon - no goals in 11 consecutive league starts...

    ...going back to the end of Slade's time...... Yes, it is a team game and we shouldn't care who gets the goals provided we do well, but I do feel that we need to be seeing more from one of our main forwards when the team as a whole isn't scoring loads. When fit, I want to see Kwame given the...

    Did anyone get to the bottom of

    The apparent mystery of why Coleman dropped Ward and wouldn't let him near the matchday squad for months on end?? What did he do to fall out of favour so badly...Mrs Coleman??

    Fan dies at Pompey v Bournemouth

    Just read on BBC a story from yesterday that a fan died during a preseason game between Pompey and Bournemouth. No circumstances reported but what a horrible thing to happen, go to a game never to go home.

    Squad churn

    Firstly I didn't disagree with us binning off most of those players we released back at the end of last season.... but looking at those senior players we have still got on the books since the start of last season, I am scratching my head wondering about the potential impact of the lack of...

    Harries not in MR's plans?

    In the CT article about the club's no comment on the Spain squid list leak, there was an interesting line where they stated that CH is not in MR's plans. Other than not being on the Spain trip, is there any reason to think this is right and, if so, why?? Will be likely be sold or is he...

    Lincoln-based Sky Blues?

    Hi all - I am moving to Lincoln (quite literally am writing this on the train there from London!). I am sure there are some Sky Blues living in the area (Lincs Sky Blue, Astute) including some on here and I met some lads from Horncastle at the P'boro away game last season. I would like to know...

    Which away game would you most like first up?

    Lincoln for me as will be moving there in a couple of weeks. Other than that, anywhere driveable from there such as Grimsby, Notts C, Mansfield, Chesterfield.....or places near my mum like Vale or Crewe which are just down the road from her. My bro lives in Lancaster so quite easy to visit him...

    North and South

    Have been looking forward to the big reveal of the new fixtures with more than the usual enthusiasm. This is partly because I just bought a car and partly because I'm moving out of London to Lincolnshire, and so will be much closer to a lot of grounds (or so I thought). I pulled up a map of the...

    Communication with fans - how is should be done

    The common hobby horse with SISU / Fisher is that they don't communicate with fans properly. I sometimes have people moan at me and ask "what do you expect them to do?" Here's my answer: Just do this.

    CCFC stuff at work

    Has anyone else got CCFC stuff at work? Check out my desk: This'll be embarrassing if I'm the only person who has got anything like this, but on the basis that I used to work with other City fans who had A4 landscape photos of the famous Houchen flying header on their desks, I'm pretty sure...

    Nosebleed territory?

    When the L2 and National League playoff results are confirmed, we'll know all 24 L2 teams next season. That'll be the cue for bookies putting up a market with odds for each team according to likely promotion/relegation, from which you can construct what they think the league table will look...

    Who would you prefer next season?

    Newport County or Hartlepool United? Daggers, Aldershot, Tranmere or Forest Green? The only bad away day out of that lot is Aldershot and they're 3-0 down going into their away leg at Tranmere so we can probably forget about them. Hartlepool is a long way but we could make a weekend of it - I...

    Walsall game - throw the doors open!

    Occurred to me this lunchtime that TF could have many worse ideas than allowing free entry to all fans for the final home game of the season (if practical of course). It would be a good way of reaching out to many non-attenders in the city, and also a "thank you for your forbearance and...

    Our support at MK

    Anyone got a feeling about how many we'll take to MK? I didn't go to the most recent game there (think it was a draw under SP or TM??) but did go to the previous two i.e. the one where Moussa and Elliot (2) scored under Robins, and then the one under SP where we won again and Dagnall/Macguire...
