    Jodi Jones Fundraiser

    Just donated a tenner. Really wish I could wave a magic wand and cure this, but well done Jodi for highlighting it and doing the most you can for Teigan.

    Three months of incessant daily information about this has somehow completely passed you by.

    Les Sealey

    Les Sealey was a very good keeper, a fine shot stopper but prone to the occasional bad error. He won some medals with Man United I think, and you don’t do that without talent. As has been said he left at the same time as a lot of other good players as well as the manager Sexton, there seemed to...

    Sounds about right to me, I'd overlooked the idea of Ernie being in midfield.

    Thanks for that info Sid, glad my guess was correct! Can't believe it's half a century ago. Do you know how the rest of the team lined up? I’m pretty sure we didn’t play with wingers. My main memories of Dave Clements are the superb corners he took – putting them straight onto the head of...

    And presumably bounced straight back out again?

    Yes, I followed the same thought process as you. Assuming we weren’t three at the back, somebody has to play alongside Blockley, and of all the others Clements seems the least unlikely. There just aren’t enough defensive players in the team, and it’s a puzzle – especially as the table shows we...

    Fifty years ago today

    Apparently the Beatles split up, but more importantly Wolves 0 City 1, and a place in Europe clinched! I was there as a youngster but I only have a few dim and random memories, including it being a night game, the rickety roofline of the old Molyneux stands, and Neil Martin having to change his...

    Slow & Boring CCFC players - Take No Mandy

    Yes, Perdomo’s wiki page is hilariously damning isn’t it! The Sampdoria coach said his dog was a better player. But the guy hit the greatest pass I’ve ever seen. From the centre circle, he set it off about 20 yards wide of the corner flag, and then it boomeranged like a golf shot into a gale...

    'Pools Panel' decides leagues?

    In doing the football pools, you know in advance that the panel might have to sit. And of course the panel can have absolutely no knowledge of which individuals their decisions could benefit. Some random person gets lucky, other people lose out, but nobody can accuse them of bias. It seems...

    A call to Arms !!!

    Glad you and your kid are enjoying it so much Pasty! Is that statistic correct? If so, it's terrifying and a real indicator of how little joy we've had for the last half century. Very proud of what the manager and team are doing now, just need to keep it up.

    You don't remember 63-64?! Top of the Third Division has a weirdly familiar look about it to us old 'uns:)

    RB Coventry

    If we could have the kit on the left for home matches, I don’t see there being many complaints. Can’t see any evidence that Leipzig ever actually played in the sky blue one though – maybe it was just a Pro Evo Soccer thing?

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Bolton Wanderers Match Thread - Saturday 8th Feb

    I was thinking the same the other day. We now have the best midfield squad since we dropped out of the Prem, with Westbrooke & Shipley on the bench.
