FFS! I'm not really going to spend 100 quid on a cardboard Paul Appleton. Besides, I've already got an inflatable one at home.

100 quid for 4 isn't going to make or break anything. Imagine that on the front row.

Of all our midfield, I find Westbrooke rather..... expendable. He's neat and tidy for the most part, will occasionally play a superb pass and has scored a couple of important goals for us but for a playmaker, which he essentially is, I just don't find him influential enough in games. He seems...

Shipley regularly gets beyond the striker(s) and breaks the opposition defensive lines. When that's a natural instinct, coaches love it - it creates space for team mates, can wreck the opposition's defensive shape and tests their communication and organisation in either running with him from...

Well deserved. Looked like he's been bulking up a bit too in the training videos I watched.

While it might not have been quickly made up, 'planning a partnership' is also nowhere near far enough down the line to demonstrate genuine commitment to actually building anything. SISU may have done a great job this week in further exposing the difficulties in dealing with Wasps but they've...

The only vague statement out of the 3 released this week has been the Wasps one.

Warmest Joy. Deserves it's own thread in off topic.

I couldn't have made it more obvious. It was 1956 we beat Notts County 4-1, not '55.

I was being facetious and attempting a parody of the accounts that always pop up when Wasps or CCC get their asses handed to them. And now I've had to explain it YOU'VE FUCKING RUINED IT

Me too. You wouldn't have to run fast and there'd be plenty to hide behind.

It's only my 2nd post on here but long time lurker. I've been going up the city since 1946 when my great grandad first carried me there on his shoulders after a 24 hour shift in the mines. I remember when I was hanging off a floodlight when we beat Notts County 4-1 in '55 in front of 50,000 cov...

Gloves are off. It's the first time I've seen Boddy be anything other than polite and middle ground.

When they said in this statement that they are very close to a commercial agreement, I read that as they have made an agreement, that it'd be signed already if it wasn't for the indemnity clause. I think that's exactly where we were last year too. We did what Wasps asked by signing the...

Can smell the smugness from a mile off. He's getting an absolute pounding in the replies though. Of which, this is my favourite so far:

The best protest from the people of Coventry is to stop going to Wasps games, even on free tickets.

I just can't see it happening - it's a minefield to implement. How could that drop from Championship to L1 budget be realistically achieved? Teams would need to release their entire squads and start over and some of those might be saleable assets. The more exceptions you then put in place, the...

There's a lot of single town/City clubs on the Championship list there. I wonder how much of an impact the lack of a strong local rivalry has on a team's support, if any. Or is that just more to do with City size/catchment area? We don't really have a 2-way fierce local rivalry, not in the way...

I listened to it this morning from the other thread on it. He does talk about how much it lifts him and praises the away support. https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/sky-blues-extra-matty-godden-podcast.120075/

Kept thinking Robins in that crown reminds me of someone. Just remembered.
