Yep. Supporting the Sky Blues has been the natural thing to do for the whole of my life, even when things weren’t going well on the pitch. But this lot have made it harder and f***ing harder to stay on board. How do you follow something that’s slowly going round and round in circles?

Chris Anderson, managing director of CCFC, added that he was confident a mutually beneficial long-term deal could be agreed with Ricoh Arena landlords Wasps. It's just a much stronger indication then we've had before. No doubt there's an element of putting pressure on Wasps by going public in...

This is an extremely welcome U-turn as far as I am concerned, and might even be a first step on the path back to sanity. But what an embarrassing picture it paints of SISU’s competence in these last few years. I have always felt that a mutually beneficial relationship could be developed with...

If you enter “sisu” into Google Translate as a Finnish word, you get the following alternatives:- go spunk grit guts perseverance pluck balls bottle Take your pick, but I suspect that the first one is the least likely, and there will be very little of the second one (at least when it...

He’s a politician, not a Civil Servant! In the radio transcript, he expresses a very negative opinion of SISU. He then immediately goes on to give specific and clear reasons - saying that only one side is making any concessions in the talks, that SISU are moving the goalposts etc. He makes...

Maybe if they had said something like "Coun Mutton is not guilty of failing in his duties under the code when declaring his interests" we might all have had a more productive day today? If the Ethics Committee has issued a perverse decision, no doubt we can look forward to yet another round of...

Perhaps I can be of assistance here. Goacher’s report quotes at tedious length the relevant parts of the code of conduct: 5.1 I will: a. register and, where appropriate, disclose those disclosable pecuniary interests that I am obliged to declare under the Localism Act and associated...

I simultaneously posted the same thing on another thread. Those guys were all a big influence on the confidence of the team.

Cheers for doing the donkey work on that Otis – I was too lazy :) So I’ll come up with another lazy theory – that the poor form is down to the loss of a series of dominant personalities at centre back (Johnson, Turner, Martin). Guys like that provide a platform for the team to play with...

I dare say this point has been made elsewhere, but I’d be interested in this season’s stats with & without O’Brien. He’s not the classiest player in the squad, but I think a lot of our early season success was helped by his willingness to run all day, and to constantly fire up the other...

Perhaps you cleaned them out Nick?

Much of what Fletcher says is pointless IMO. Seems to me that the train is pulling away from us, but it’s not because of stadium revenues, it’s because of TV money. The stadium was the vital platform (excuse the pun) we needed ten years ago to establish ourselves in and around the Premier...

The article says: "City come in fifth across all 72 Football League clubs and tenth across all clubs, including the Premier League". It looks like the club may have cherry-picked the statistic about getting Academy players into the first-team, which is arguably a lot easier when you are...

There's a link on the same page about Ben Stevenson coming back well from a long lay-off:- http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/lee-glover-ben-stevenson-sheffield-united-coventry-city-2968336.aspx

Sorry Gazolba, I suspect your memory is playing tricks. I don't think Hudson played in the promotion-winning season, having moved on the year before? I love the pictures though. They take me back to my childhood, when I would cut them out of the Telegraph and stick them on my bedroom wall :)

I suspect I'm actually in this photo, just peering out from under Fergie's left armpit. As a further claim to fame I once had a piss in a pub, stood at the latrine between Wallace and Beck.

A fine player Bannister - much underrated, and would have made a good striker (as opposed to winger) IMO .

This is what we should be worrying about – the Premier League effectively becoming a closed shop for the 20 teams in it, plus about 10 who have been in it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35587016 The TV money totally overshadows everything else. Some clubs are at least on the pavement...

Sorry G, didn’t mean to “single you out” – you just happened to be in the firing line when I snapped a bit :) I wouldn’t want to see the forum become bland, and footballers are in a very tough entertainment business so they have to be able to take criticism. But to survive as a club, we need...

Yep, superb that day against Spurs, the only one of our players who looked like they could cut it against Prem opposition. Still don't understand what has gone wrong really.
