    Curl in from a corner challenge

    I expected him to be taking the corners from the half way line.

    Bernie Slaven can piss off too. Still not forgiven him for the 4-3 defeat when Speedie also got a hattrick.

    International Break - benefit to us?

    More training and fitness time for Kelly and Godden!

    Was it a good window?

    Agree with all of that completely apart from the 10 years bit. If you're really talking squad then it's a lot longer than that. We had a few good players under Coleman in 2008/2009 but the squad was so weak looking back. We started 2008 with Stephen Wright, Beuzelin, Gray, Eastwood in the side...

    Bright and Robins

    I can think of a few posters on here who would be more than willing to help with that!

    Bright and Robins

    Choked to death on his canary, hence the party pictures on Canary Wharf. He's also got an aging Labrador so I'm sure there will be a cracking knees up on the Isle of Dogs when the inevitable happens.

    Where are we at

    It's going to be a fun season. We've got some genuinely exciting players to watch and for the most part we play good football. We'll beat some teams soundly, lose to some that are better, lose to some that are worse and pick up points where we didn't expect. We'll be a solid mid table side, back...

    QPR away

    Would be nice, given the allocation is sold out, if the club were allowed to show the game at the Tavern but I suppose the Saturday 3pm rule still stands and also QPR could have given us more.

    QPR away

    Was it a lot bigger on the inside that it looks on the outside?

    Liam Kelly

    Think you're mixing up the injuries. Godden's was afoot and Kelly's was aknee.

    Would you have Tom Bayliss back?

    That team was quite a mess in the first half of the L1 season. Playing 4-2-3-1: Chaplin as 10 and JCH as 9, Hiwula or Shipley on the left of the 3 and Luke Thomas on the right. Hiwula was one of the worst strikers I've ever seen with his back to goal, JCH being asked to play as a lone striker...

    The little things

    Highlights, extended highlights and a full match replay. How quickly it is available after I'm not sure though.

    Would you have Tom Bayliss back?

    We tried to turn him into something he wasn't in his last season here and he had an impossible job playing deeper alongside Doyle when his legs had gone. I think that has stuck in a lot of people's memories. He's only 22 still and we have no idea if he has continued to develop at Preston or not...

    4 caps for Ecuador. After Gyokeres 2 for Sweden, I think we're getting an insight into Badlan's Football Manager scout search: International caps: <5 Position: Striker Age: <24 Value: <= 999,999

    DO NOT boo the knee

    You supported the fuck out of your mate when he was shown up to be posting racist shite on social media, to the point where you suggested we should turn a blind eye to racism to support a march in support of a change in CCFC ownership. What has changed your view?

    Man City 3rd kid

    If you need to have the name of the team emblazoned across the chest then it tells you everything you need to know about who they are marketing it to. Awful.

    Racist remark towards a coventry player

    Tolerance always strikes me as a horrible word too in these situations. As if being 'tolerated' because of the colour of your skin is somehow a reward. 'Allowed to exist'

    Zain

    Reminds me of Lameiras in a lot of ways. Neat and tidy technical player but needs a team built round him or at least playing a quite specific way. It's a bit of a catch 22 situation for players like that. Not got the physical attributes to compete in the Championship but then the further down...

    Racist remark towards a coventry player

    The gesture isn't divisive though, it's the people who are ignoring the reason it's being done and then actively booing it that are divisive. Referring to the gesture being divisive is just passively excusing the agenda of the people who want to boo it. It is enabling them to say 'Exactly, I'm...
