Oh my life... I actually cannot believe what I've just read. In modern society, we have so many failings. So many ways in which society lets the most vulnerable down. The fact that 1 in 4 of us will suffer mental illness in our lifetime amongst the lack of growth in this country suggests that...

They do, actually. The other thing to remember is, a high percentage of those on welfare actually need it. There will always be people who take advantage of the system, but I'd rather have a system that lets a few take advantage yet serve those in desperate need, rather than one which ignores...

Ask Brighton Sky Blue.

The Hope and Anchor.

The Jaihouse/Greyhound. I used to work there and put a few bands on. Where I met and fell in love with my wife and had so many happy a pint. It's stage, in my time, saw the likes of Frank Turner, Enter Shikari, Roddy, Kaiser Chiefs, yourcodenameis:milo, some dude from Busted, The Young...

I hope not. Elliot didn't look too bad at the start of the season... I couldn't possibly comment on Cody... I'm really not sure what the issue is there!!

White Hart Lane... I posted about that day earlier! Gonna be a great one! I hope GM gets invited!

Tottenham or Chelsea... United? Anyone!

Bellamy was as proven at Keane. Keane came to us as we were the only club willing to gamble on his £5m price tag. Gregory even quoting that he wouldn't even pay £1m for him. Which leads me to another CCFC moment I wouldn't trade "ARE YOU WATCHING GREGORY?!"

He was seemingly like for like, though. When he didn't work out, we then tried to sign Hartson... Oh if he'd arrived when he was meant to... What a revelation he was!

Who wasn't happy with those signings when they were made? Who thought that Craig Bellamy wouldn't have been an apt replacement for Robbie Keane? Some signings, no matter how much scouting, research, time and development programmes you put in place, just won't work... Coventry have had more...

In the mean time, local businesses and charities who are owed money are shat on from an incredible height. Administration might be good for the club, but the local community... never.

Totally agree!! I think we're on the same page but using different copies!! :)

No I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying that the highs were higher. Every win was amazing because we were on the world stage. There was absolutely nothing expected of us other than defeat to the outside world. When we got relegated, we were 2/1 for promotion back to the Premier League...

I think the reason that this is dimissed is because our overheads are bigger than most teams in our postion.

Actually, that is a really good point. I do think that what contributes to the lower crowds is the Boothroyd campaign and the events last season. There were a lot of final straws for a lot of people. Be that Marlon King signing or not signing, KD, Brody, the exodus of players or errrrm.... Andy...

Well... That's your quote of the day!! I don't begrudge anybody for feeling hard done by and chosing not to attend at all... that wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was simply saying, without that, it makes it harder to do anything.

Coundonskyblue... I completely disagree with your "40+ years without league success". Every season spent in the top flight without relegation was a good season compared to what we now have. We achieved so much in that time, claimed the biggest of scalps, saw some of the best players in the world...

I don't think necessarily big crowds but viable crowds. Crowds that'll create an atmosphere when things aren't going well and crowds that would enable the club to break even. In our current ground and situation, its harder to achieve than most others. We may get bigger crowds than most other...
