Just in the spirit of full disclosure, I did a bit more research last night, and I can see that one of the companies associated with the proposed new benefactor had a six digit turnover in its last accounts. However, it still doesn't look like the kind of business that could just throw 250k at...

So after no more than 30 minutes research, I've got a bad feeling about this. I had a quick look through Mr Taylor's records on Companies House and I can't find anything that suggests any of his businesses would have these kinds of funds available. I can however see that he took out a loan for...

A bit more here. Hope it comes off for the players' sake, but I worry that long term it's still dependent on external funding rather than self-sustaining... https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/12508445/coventry-united-womens-championship-club-in-takeover-talks-to-be-saved-from-liquidation

There's absolutely no reason for it apart from appearance. Bluntly, it's mutilation and these people that you know are profiting from a cruel and entirely unnecessary practice. They clearly don't care about animal welfare and they may well be breaking the law too...

Hate to be brutal, but anyone who buys a dog with cropped ears is a thoughtless prick, at least in my book. It's both cruel and ridiculous. I should add that I haven't watched the video of Maddison and his millions, but as long as he's paying the right amount of tax on it I guess it's up to...

Confirmed in the press... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/dec/23/coventry-united-womens-championship-voluntary-liquidation

I'm not sure that's strictly true, but it did make me laugh. Conversely I always though of Mickey Quinn and Kenny Sansom as having very low centres of gravity (mostly by dint of their huge arses). Like Weebles, for anyone who can remember "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down". Maybe...

Nooo... it's the only chance I've got of figuring it out. I'm really enjoying this thread, but there are so many players now that I just don't recognise. It's making me feel like a really crap fan. I suppose it's time to come clean: I'm actually from Barcelona, I only follow Cov for the...

Also, for many of us, wearing a mask definitely improves our looks. In my case, the bigger the better. :)

To you as an individual, possibly not. But to you as part of a wider community, I'd say definitely yes. My thinking is this: At the moment we want to reduce transmission, and one way of doing it is to encourage people to wear masks, particularly indoors and on public transport. You...

Cheers Daz, I'll have a pint of handpump bitter (anything under 4% will be fine), or a Guinness, a bag of pork scratchings to share, and a good old chinwag about all things City... I'll leave the power drinking to you and Nick, and I'll probably sneak off at about half-ten whilst you're trying...

'Natural immunity', i.e. 'let it rip', in a disease that can kill, hospitalise, or cause long term health issues, is a poor strategy. We demonstrated that in the first wave (see also the number of deaths in the US and Brazil that went for this approach). Again, there's no reliable evidence yet...

I find that "Drink your Kool-Aid" and phrases like "sheeple" are a handy indicator of someone who might be a bit too lazy to do their own research. It's not an honest conversation if people are just making stuff up... So... any footballers who are seeing their colleagues 'drop on the pitch'...

And vaccination reduces transmission too. Always has, always will. If you reduce infection, you reduce transmission. However the booster is obviously far more important for Omicron, hence the push on it. There's no need to look for excuses to avoid vaccination and boosters. The best chance...

Agreed. Maybe it's something to do with having a Wasps executive on the board...

He's making a small fortune... out of a big one. :)

I'd be putting deep-heat on their bed pans if I had to come in over Christmas because of it. 😁

Gallows humour, I guess. Genuine question, when did vaccine resistance become a thing? We've lived through an era when we've completely eradicated smallpox and massively reduced polio and TB. All through vaccination, with probably millions of lives saved. We'd have made a massive dent in...

Actually, it has. Go and Google the impact on the numbers on public transport since the work from home directive was announced. Then see if you can dig out the stats on the number of cancelled bookings in the hospitality sector in the same period. What you'll see is that behaviour has already...

He actually wasn't a bad midfielder... for a goalie. :)
