Of the keepers since Oggy, I’d say only Westwood has been top drawer. I recall Hedman making loads of bad errors on corners and crosses that contributed greatly to getting relegated from the Prem. He was nowhere near as good as he thought he was, and I’m not sure why he always seems to get...

For several decades the fortunes of the Sky Blues meant absolutely everything to me – I lived and breathed CCFC. I’ve trained myself in recent years to take a step back, and days like today don’t really bother me too much, which is great because my weekend no longer depends on the performance...

I suggest you set aside a minumum of 45 minutes if you want to do a thorough job!

Often, but not always ;) Having said that, giving concessions to people purely on the basis of age is always going to be a blunt instrument, and I don't think there's an easy answer. Where exactly do you set the line - cheap tickets extended to the under-25's? Under-30's? I suggest cool kid's...

Just seen this Stupot - I can assure you that nothing was further from my mind. People who oppose the MK thing and/or Wasps, and feel strongly enough about it to act upon it, have my complete respect. It's only the constant accusations of hypocrisy/double standards/immorality that fly in the...

Cheers Duffer - I know exactly where you are coming from, and completely respect your stance. I guess it's very patronising to say that someone is only doing something to make themselves feel better, and I realise I started it :) However, you're wrong about me not being comfortable with going...

Obviously I can't guarantee what they will do, but their ground is well suited to accommodating a very large away contingent. We took a lot there a few years back (a bore draw if I recall correctly), and we still had room to spare in the top tier.

Reasons for never going to MK:- To put them out of business – very unlikely To prevent more franchising – the football authorities have made sure it can’t happen again To ram home their immorality to them - everybody knows the history and that it wasn’t right (despicable in fact), but maybe...

Quite pleased with the draw, looking forward to a big day out with the Sky Blue Army. And delighted with the coverage we got tonight on the TV, which probably did more to put CCFC in a good light than anything in ages. The players (current & former) acquitted themselves really well, and the...

But my missus isn’t on here.

You’ve got the gist, but to be fair the person concerned didn’t say we got “great value”. From the fact that they were comfortable with the sale, I just assumed that they must think it was good business, and that CCFC did the best we could out of selling the player. Not sure how you can live...

Good question, and I don’t have an answer :) Having said that, I think he was being monitored by Spurs etc. wasn’t he? Then from memory he got quite a bad injury with his rash challenge in that game at Walsall, and he hadn’t been back that long when Norwich (who were in the Prem at the time?)...

Getting rid of SISU wouldn’t warrant sacrificing a promotion and taking a relegation instead. There are plenty of less extreme things I’d consider though! btw I guess people are no longer aware of it, but I remember the term “cretin” being regarded as offensive and dropped many years ago (way...

Yes, the Conor Thomas point is a fair one and there will always be examples where young players don't fulfill their promise and the buying cliub loses out. However, if we'd sold Conor Thomas I'd merely have been a bit miffed, whereas Maddison's talent was on a different level altogether.

I accept what you’re saying Otis, and I think you’re right that we probably had to sell him, and not for £20m. I was just expressing my sheer frustration at the lowly status of our club – having a young player who (at least to some of us) was very likely a future England international, who was...

Is that Alain-Patrick d’Oh, the up-and-coming feature writer from Le Figaro? Quite a coup for the Telegraph.

I seem to remember people here licking their lips at the idea of getting £2m for him, and me pointing out that he could be sold on for 10 times that. At this rate, I’m going to be right and it makes me mad that we’re in a position where we can’t keep players like this, at least for a few seaons...

Presumably we need to log in to SBT at 5:00 AM on Monday when you will release the exciting news to an expectant world?

Otis - Reading?
