Two things radically improved football. Three points for a win and banning goalies picking up back passes. That 1-0 to the Arsenal shit with them passing back to the goalie for half the match used to do my head in.

Think they will throw the kitchen sink at us in the opening 20 mins. Need to win the midfield, so would play Hamer, Sheaf and Eccles and quieten their crowd. Need to try and not give away too many corners or free kicks around our area. We never seem to do well up there but we are better than QPR

The table rarely lies. They are where they are on merit. If Vik stays, (unlikely) a battering ram partner up top would help against some of the more aggressive teams in the Championship. We appear to be one year behind Luton in our progress. Lets hope so. I gather we were after Cresswell this...

I think Howley and Burroughs are going to be good players for us over the next few seasons if they stay injury free. They are both big and mobile with good football skills. Thought today they both made one crucial mistake each, which is what you get from young players. Howley's interception...

I remember when fans used to change ends at half time to be behind the goal their team were attacking. I don't condone or do violence. I came across it first at a pre season friendly in around 1967 at Forest Green who were non-league. That same year when changing ends Blackburn fans started...

Back in the Stone Age, every team used to sing You'll Never Walk Alone with the scarves aloft swaying and Molly Malone with City, City at the end for us. My favourites were Sing When Your Fishing, You Only Sing When You're Fishing to Grimsby and the slightly un PC, Does She Take It Up The Arse...

It was a Liverpool song we nicked. The Liverpool fans used to sing that verse back to us

Fletcher I think, said a mistake was made when the ground was planned and that away fans could not be put elsewhere, as leaving the ground would mean supporters mixing a lot more than they do now, resulting in more potential flashpoints. Think the police also objected on similar grounds.

Think Rose should be offered a contract. Injuries have stalled his progress, but if the management team feel those problems are behind him then sign him up. Looked fine coming on as a sub in recent games. MR doesn't change a winning team very often, only where injury or tiredness is a problem...

I think people underestimate Eccles. He has been getting better all season after a bad start at Sunderland and injury problems. Always happy when he is on the team sheet.

I remember when I was a student, absolutely everyone from Newcastle and Sunderland were football fans of their home town club. This was an arts course where being into football was very uncool. Apart from me, there were no Coventry people who supported football even though we were in the top...

Interestingly, the PNE commentators thought their player who had already been booked should have had another yellow when Vik turned him on the wing and was brought down. The ref never even gave a foul. I can understand why Vik got booked. Their centre backs were absolutely shagged out near the...

With our small squad, one of the lowest budgets and consequent injuries, he has worked miracles.

Great servant to the club. Thought writing him off like many did with Fadz was premature. Could still have had a couple of good seasons in him, but it appears injuries are building up and are likely to cut short his career with us.

Where is Hackney Fox when you need him?

That genius McGinnity who allegedly made his money when tipped off about all-seater stadiums by Robinson. McGinnity threatened to sue Nev Haddesley who ran GMK at the time and was a local sports reporter working in Birmingham. I think it was Adam Dent who castigated Nev when he phoned CWR. Nev...

I gather a lot of interest in EFL TV rights from streaming services when the current deal expires. This includes showing games on a Saturday at 3pm. Add in the possibility of the new regulator (jokingly named Offside) forcing the Prem to share more of the money, we may be better off than we...

We have a system that suits our defenders and Wilson who is better at shot stopping than collecting crosses. It has given Wilson 14 clean sheets and would have been 15 if Hamer had not made a school boy error on the touchline. Either way, don't think it was Wilson's ball at all to collect. Our...

Never Wilsons fault in a million years

See Mowbray is doing the old school, we have so many injuries but I can't tell you who they are. Expect a first choice team and no evidence of injuries. Used to work years ago lulling the opposition into a sense of false security, but wont work these days. So sad O'Hare hasn't played against...
