    Northampton....

    It doesn't matter to me that Northampton fans didn't rise up against our ground share with them. That's history and the blame for it doesn't lie with them. I don't want any club to go under because of the crap actions of their owners.

    I Bloody Love Him Already!

    Not having a dig at Cole here, WM, but trust me on this - these fellas don't pay tax at the same rate that the likes of me and you pay tax. ;)

    Not to me ferret, but then I am a bit slow.

    Premier league star to sign

    Bugger me, it's on the radio and everything. I thought this was a wind up. Blimey. :)

    Premier league star to sign

    He was a ref as well - literally, who's the Bastard in the black. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segar_Bastard I went to school with one of his distant relations, Segar Megadrive. Ouch.

    CCFC in schools

    Indeed - isn't that something like "What do you love about sport?" or "Which sports do you love?". There'll be someone hereabouts who'll have better French than me. Certainly nowt to do with food, as far as I can tell. What's French for 'pies' anyway? :)

    December Stadium Deadline

    I'm afraid the worn out line that Wasps aren't from London is utter bullshit trotted out to pretend that this isn't somehow a franchise. I can live with people supporting Wasps, if that's what they want to do and they can live with themselves doing it. What I can't tolerate is this sort of...

    December Stadium Deadline

    And again, I find myself in agreement here. Worrying. I wonder if the missus has secretly upped my dosage without telling me. ;) Like pretty much everyone here, I have very serious doubts that SISU have any genuine plan for a stadium, let alone a comprehensive one. I'd be right behind your...

    December Stadium Deadline

    Here's the question again, because you seem a bit obsessed with the whole 60-acre thing and planning permission thing Is anyone in the city council going to help the club find an area for the stadium? Who knows what's available until someone actually looks. As others have mentioned maybe...

    December Stadium Deadline

    I know we come at this from different places on much of this, SBT, but I absolutely see what you're saying here. I suppose the only argument against it is SISU's suggestion that it's going to be partly funded by having retail space available. If true, of course, that will make planning...

    Refugees welcome?

    The problem with tear gas, as I understand it, is that it's quite difficult to aim. I suppose if you froze it you could just fire it in lumps at the 'underserving poor' males, say between the ages of 18-50. Even better if you were careful and just fired at the ones wearing "Benefit Slacker...

    December Stadium Deadline

    The question was - is anyone in the city council going to help the club find an area for the stadium? I've said what I think the answer to that is, and why. The council can't legally hinder an application, but if they don't support it then they can certainly make it a lot more awkward for it...

    December Stadium Deadline

    Rather the opposite, I think. The political support is all behind Wasps, as well it might be. If Wasps goes tits up, or just ends up with low to middling support, then it won't look good for the Councillors who endorsed selling it to them. As far as CCFC goes, the council need CCFC to stay at...

    Burge is going to give me a heart attack!

    That's exactly what I'd say. We should get right behind him when he plays, but personally I think we could use someone else in there at the moment. Any other managers watching the Burton game will surely highlight his poor handling of the high ball, and look to target that weakness.

    Mowbray says... / Marc-Antoine Fortune

    Good signing this, like it. Like TM says, there's a lot of experience here and at a very decent level. Happy. :) Edit: At 2.32m he'll also come in handy for cleaning the gutters and getting the ball out of the trees at Ryton. ;)

    Gypsies

    What annoys me most is the foul mess they leave behind. I don't want to suggest that they're all criminals, I'm sure they're not. If they choose to live outside society and they can make their own way without pissing everyone else off then that's fair enough. However it does seem as though...

    city miss out - what a load of rubbish

    I've no love for our owners, but I'd still rather we lived within our means. I don't know if we'll make it out of L1 this season, but I sense it's going to be an interesting journey. What I don't want is to gamble the club's future on a sh*t-or-bust one season effort. From what I've seen and...

    No no, it's perfectly clear. If this was not the answer, then he wouldn't not like it. Obvious really. ;)

    Moving back to Cov - advice please

    Mount Nod always looks very nice and tidy when I pass through that way, as I often do having kids that go to school around there. Nod Rise, where there are number of very pleasant looking, low rise flats genuinely has the smoothest tarmac in Coventry - I'm always impressed when I cycle along...

    Wigan (H)

    As good a post as I've ever read. I would be one of those who assumed that it was (the wrong sort of) Rugby that was your biggest issue - I stand corrected. Anyone who supports a 'smaller' team from their home town, when there are glory teams right on their doorstep is OK by me. Let's just...
