Pissed up crowd, atmosphere should be good apart from the dilution by part-timers who go to 1 match a year. Remember Sheff Wed fans singing you're not fit to wear the shirt at Highfield Rd when they got relegated from the top tier. Could be another Plymouth type game or anything really. A clean...

Never been to Sunderland as its a bit cold up there. Coventry is not a shithole, it just does not sell itself properly. The shopping is dire but the people are awesome (apart from the nobheads that you find everywhere).

I like football rivalries providing the challenged don't take it beyond sensible banter. I had and still have good friends from Sunderland at college and they were very interested in drinking, football and getting their leg over. Were certainly not as attractive to all women as they thought they...

Agree good luck to them. There is a school of thought that says they have been very lucky with injuries and their back up players are not too great. Lets see how it pans out.

The game has changed out of all proportion to the "we can play 14 players a season and win the league." Liverpool this season have used more players than anyone and regularly rotate. Incidentally, some Liverpool fans were calling for Klopp to be sacked when the team were changing their personal...

If you try to have a sensible discussion, about a clearly documented issue with supporting evidence, it is inevitable the cherry pickers and people who are not presenting an evidence based reply will all come out of the woodwork in high dudgeon. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...

Dreadful. We have just played two of the worst teams (Sheffield Wednesday aside) when you look at their injuries and been crap overall. Another conceded header from a cross then game over. How many times are we going to let in headers from crosses? Cannot get shots on target most of the time...

Why should he. They still owe us for all the seats they trashed at Highfield Rd

Lets be honest, we are not doing great. Apart from Leicester who we probably should have got at least a point against, we have played a lot of the poorer teams, or teams who were not in the groove like Middlesborough and Swansea. Game for game, I think we are about six points off last year with...

I read the book by the weird American guy we had on the Board (name escapes me). He said fans get really excited when a team gets a corner but it almost never results in a goal. Also said goalies should just stay in the middle and will save more penalties? Did everything by statistics.

Is Gus Kahn playing?

Depends on the keeper. Whomever takes them should bomb them in if they are in swingers. Need to vary it more with short corners. At the other end, we were brilliant at defending them last year. We are rubbish at defending crosses this year.

He was pushed before the goal which put him enough off balance to give the scorer an advantage. I would say it was subtle but still a foul, not a coming together or shoulder to shoulder. Just because shit refs often never give it as a foul does not mean it was not a foul. MR who is experienced...

I think if we were 3-0 up with ten minutes to go, you might see one of the youngsters on. Trouble is doesn't happen very often

Or it may be we have to wait and see if he comes back as good or if he breaks down again like Jodi Jones. Would be foolish to commit too early or leave it too late. A crucial balancing act

We use them in the cups and that usually goes well

Pep Guardiola said it often takes at least a year for a player to adjust to a new country. An ex Chelsea manager, (they change so often) said 15 months.

MR and his management team are the most successful we have had in years, and possibly the most successful ever over a period of time. There are so many football geniuses on here who know better than them. Posters have been complaining about their substitutions every time we don't win a game...

Bristol had injuries and illness but we could not exploit that. Daylight robbery. Fadz error 1-0 to them. However there was a nudge on Fadz before the goal. Ref shit again especially missing that and when Simms was pushed in the area. Possibly a pen. Our defending straight ahead crosses is...

Thompson, another one who said he should not have moved to Coventry. So many players said that, you wonder what the atmosphere was like at the club. The American guy who wrote the book, Saying Up said the year we were relegated on national Radio, that he thought we would go down, as Strachan was...
