    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The point is about trust in politicians. What's the most common excuse the dickheads painting roundabouts are using? No one listens to us, they're all the same. Don't give them the ammunition. If you don't think a large proportion of those same people have serious issues with those of a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Anyone who supported the last Tory government, or the current opposition, or Farage, and is on here to bang on about Labour "hypocrisy", has absolutely no self awareness and clearly doesn't watch the news. As for "socialism", give it a fucking rest. Most of those who yap on about it as a vague...

    Sheaf to Wrexham

    That's a very good point. I suspect we've pushed him to come back from injury far too quickly on occasion, and like the honest pro that I believe he is, I think he's always tried to accommodate the request - possibly to his detriment. At least he's gone on good terms, and to a place where I...

    My take on the window

    That's a fair analysis, I think overall I'd say underwhelmed rather than disappointed though. I suppose there is cover of a kind on the flanks, in that at a push JDS, MVE, KKH, or Brau might be able to go into a more attacking role with the alternate full back behind. We'd still lose...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    In the meantime then, Coventry City Council is busy handing over half-a-million pounds to Palantir. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/aug/30/coventry-city-council-signs-ai-deal-contract-palantir-technologies If you weren't aware, Palantir are involved in directly supporting the Israeli...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Could it be that they're only "fringe weirdos" and "angry boomers" because they're complaining about something being done in their area which they dislike, but you support?

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Indeed, Champions League my arse. If we wanted to play against "FC Fishing Village" on an early season Tuesday night, we could just join "The Orkneys and Faroe Islands Intermediate League Two" and be done with it.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Bah. I don't come here for measured, carefully considered opinions. Off with you, forthwith! It's 8:30am and we still haven't signed an established England international. King out! 😁

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Good shout! They've probably been hoovering up all of the other clubs' most promising academy minibuses for years now. They must have a car park full. 😁

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    We can't sign that lot, mate, we haven't got a big enough team bus.

    Match Thread Oxford Utd vs Coventry City Saturday 30th August 3pm KO

    Moving the ball when the ref turns his back is pretty much the oldest trick in the book. I can't believe that a ref at any level falls for that one, it's piss poor. But then it's also up to the players to make a bit of noise and let the ref know rather than just take it on the chin. Poor all...

    Collins gone!!

    Good move for him and us. I'd be delighted to see him have a decent season. Yes, he made mistakes, but I didn't see any lack of effort - and it's the most exposed position on any team, obviously. He's still fairly young for a keeper, good luck to the bloke as far as I'm concerned.

    MalcSB

    So sorry to hear this. Yes, me and him differed on plenty of things here, but I'm sure that face to face, maybe over a pint or two, we'd have got on just fine, because, well, Coventry City. Hope you're bearing up, @stupot07 - I know it's not something that anyone can ever really prepare for...

    Business still to be done

    It's inevitable I guess, I'd have to admit my performance levels haven't been where I'd want them to be. Do you think she'd be ok with me training with one of her mates until I can sort out a permanent deal elsewhere?

    Business still to be done

    I'm pretty sure the wife would be delighted if she could get an upgrade on me (which in fairness, wouldn't be too difficult). In fairness to BSB, I don't think he's suggesting that we shouldn't support Simms when he's on the pitch - most (though not all) can see that booing our own players...

    Embarrassing

    I don't think anyone is objecting to hanging flags off official buildings, or indeed people hanging them out of their windows, or on flagpoles on their own property. Or tattooed on their forehead if they so wish. However, no one has any business hanging them off lampposts or painting...

    Stadium update

    I wouldn't dispute it's what most think of as the club's first home, but actually they were at the Butts well before that. Anyway, I don't think the rugby club desperately need to move to the CBS, The Butts is a good fit and there are big plans afoot for redevelopment. Maybe if they make it...

    Fever Dream

    So I work a little bit with data and modelling (I'm more your plus size model, unfortunately), and I've got to say that I'm not convinced xG is particularly accurate. Does xG account for things like player ability, surely a key predictive variable, or is it strictly based on pitch location and...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    Very sorry to see him go, he's been brilliant for us. I'd really like to see two outstanding players in the squad for every position on the pitch, but maybe that's a bit unlikely for us at the moment. KKH looks a good player too, but I worry what we'll do at RB if he gets injured... Anyway...

    Ellis simms

    He's got some of the attributes, but I'm not sure about his defensive positioning, which in fairness takes time and experience to learn, and his aggression, which perhaps isn't an obvious trait...
