    The only way to hurt sisu

    It's pretty straight forward: I support Coventry, I don't support SISU. I go to a game to watch Coventry, I don't sit there for 90 minutes thinking about SISU. Ironically, match threads on here are the only ones that DONT mention SISU. Do I want SISU gone? Yes. Do I want to stop watching the...

    January Fire Sales

    Any chance of a source? For either the Maddison or the SISU exit strategy information.

    Jordan Willis to Bristol City

    He isn't in good standing with the majority of players at the moment. Sounds like bullying tactics are used a lot. Not good for a young manager.

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    Oldham Atheltic were runners up in the old first division in 1914-15 and were part of the first Premier League season. Newcastle have won the top league four times, seen top class players join them and competed in Europe. By your logic how dare Newcastle sell Sissoko to Tottenham, a team that...

    Protest groups who's who

    The fact we have a multitude yet I don't feel represented by any, is probably quite telling.

    Jordan Willis to Bristol City

    I've just been told Bristol are unaware where the rumours have come from, so sounds as though it isn't happening?

    Jordan Willis to Bristol City

    Bristol players were kept in the dark about this one if it is true. Seems strange they hadn't even heard any rumours around the training ground. If he didn't have pace he wouldn't be anywhere near the player he is, which is never a good sign. Saying that, I will be sorry to see him go though...

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    It definitely seems too early in this career, both from a personal perspective and, from a club angle, a selling value. Saying that, if he is going to go at this stage, he could do a lot worse than Dean Smith who has a great reputation for developing youngsters and is well liked for it. I hope...

    Match Thread Peterboro. v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 31st Dec

    It's rare that I listen to CWR, but every time I do I always wonder how the hell Geoff Foster has a job as a commentator. Most boring voice and descriptions ever.

    Match Thread Bristol R v Coventry Match Thread - Monday 26th Dec

    2 - 0. Agyei and Wright......I jest. I am going 2-0 but Sordell and Bigi. It will be really interesting to see his team selection and tactics/formation as it will give a strong indication as to who he likes and his style of play.

    Happy Christmas Everyone !!!

    Merry Christmas everyone. Make the most of a day you can eat and drink as much as you like guilt free! Nothing is more important than family, so whoever you are spending it with make it special. P.S. Does anyone know how/if I can get iTunes vouchers today? I might have forgotten a present.....

    I might be being thick, but who is this?

    No - they're asking around though. Always feel awkward asking but this one was annoying me too much!

    I might be being thick, but who is this?

    I hate to be the one to put out the fire, but from an inside source - "no chance" re Will Grigg.

    Kyel Reid training/Fabien Robert triallist

    As long as he's bombing along at 70mph plus, 70mph tops, then pulls over safely, I see no issue.

    Can the Telegraph sink much lower?

    That's because you are rational. Everyone hates SISU, but certain posters have still managed to turn the good news of Slade into a negative about SISU. Articles criticising him before he even starts are just fuel to those types. Yes, I'm generalising.

    Can the Telegraph sink much lower?

    I don't disagree, but there's obviously a market for it. The majority of national tabloid papers are full of exaggerated and dramatised rubbish, that's lapped up by some and hated by others. It all generates a reaction. People who hate SISU will be loving the articles. We live in a world of...

    Can the Telegraph sink much lower?

    Playing devils advocate; there's no such thing as bad publicity, apparently. In all fairness I don't read the CT, but when they publish something that sparks outrage on here I'll sometimes click on the article link to find out why. That's more clicks for them. What's the history of general...

    Kyel Reid training/Fabien Robert triallist

    He'll look good in flashes and/or get himself into great positions then fail to deliver and/or display poor defensive awareness/positioning. Don't get me wrong he clearly has ability; pace and trickery are an elusive combination in L1, but so far this year he's flattered to deceive and been...

    Can the Telegraph sink much lower?

    Bonkers and pathetic article, but it has generated reaction which is probably the plan. It's the TalkSport approach. I get this article is shit, but there's been anomosity to Gilbert for a while and I think I missed how/when/why - can someone update me please? (I appreciate that may sound...

    Kyel Reid training/Fabien Robert triallist

    It's a non story. But in all fairness he is shit.* *maybe a little harsh, just incredibly frustrating and inconsistent. He's a poor poor mans Andros Townsend.
