    Council Statement due today

    It must have been a dream, but I was sure CCC said on a number of occasions that they would not grant planning permission to SISU on any land in the city. In my dream, I think CCC also said they would do everything they could to stop them building a stadium anywhere. And then I woke up and...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Burton Albion Match Thread - Friday 8th Mar

    I watched Barnsley play Burton at Oakwell last month and a no score bore draw was exactly what it was then. Barnsley were by far the better team but Nigel Clough had said before the game that he had a plan to stop Barnsley scoring. From where I sat (behind the goal) for almost all the game all...

    Questionnaire for Coventry fans on the significance of football stadium names

    I submitted a blank questionnaire. I was waiting for a question that applied. I wanted to answer a question that wasn't there: "What would you like to call your stadium?" And then I could have answered.................... OURS!!!

    Match Thread Luton Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 24th Feb

    Good summary from the Barnsley forum - glad my Barnsley-supporting daughter gave this a like! Brilliant. Coventry deserved that. Luton players diving all over the place and that dirty git McCormack elbowing their players. Well done the Sky Blues. Hope they are still in the EFL next season...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Walsall Match Thread - Saturday 16th Feb

    That may explain things: most of us accept that we are subjective but usually right. If you did manage to be objective, it wouldn't follow that you would always be right. In fact, not me, but some seem to doubt if you are ever right. But I think that may just be because they are very...

    Good players often miss a hatful of chances, but score a few too. Top players miss a fair number of chances, but bury one or two every other couple of games. Poor players miss fewer chances, because they don't get into good positions on the pitch at the right time. Chaplin could still prove...

    Latest transfer rumour

    Sadly, it's an not a curable sickness. it is seen occasionally in euphoric Saturday evenings but more often in months of unbroken depression. They're working on it at the Human Genome project but say that they expect to find a cure for all forms of cancer before getting close to finding a cure...

    Latest transfer rumour

    I first watched City as a six or seven year old in 1952-3 or 1953-4. I remember the first transfer excitement I ever felt when we signed Tommy Capel and Colin Collindridge as a double signing from Nottingham Forest in 1954. Both were past their best, but very decent professionals who had...

    Latest transfer rumour

    We've had a few nuts and nutters playing for us, but my favourite was Gordon Nutt. As a left winger, he only managed a goal every seven games in four years with us, but went on to score a goal in every five games with Arsenal and a goal in every six with PSV Eindhoven. Not bad scoring rate for...

    Incoming ! - Bright Enobakhare

    Could it be that one has never played below Championship level and the other is currently on loan in League 2 and hasn't scored a goal in the last two months. He hasn't even made the bench since 22nd December. Is he injured?
