    Going on Holiday Thread

    Heading to Venice in November with the Mrs for my birthday. Anyone have any tips for us? Heard that the centre can be a nightmare for expensive tourist traps.

    Interview with Reece Charles-Cook

    I always liked RCC, mainly because he was willing to have the ball at his feet and was a decent shot-stopper. He just made mistakes at the worst times which was his downfall. Will always remember that record-breaking run of clean sheets.

    U23 v Colchester

    I think the only real limitation is a max of 3 over-23 players

    Charlton: A Few Thoughts

    My biggest thought from the game: Find out how much Charlton want for their #11, Tariqe Fosu. They're supposed to be in a bit of a financial meltdown, right? He looked very creative and is in the last year of his contract. Put £250k or so on the table and see what their money-hungry Chairman does.

    Maddison England Squad *CONFIRMED*

    Yes, we would? Clauses like international appearances tend to extend from contract to contract at new team. So - if Coventry place a £250k clause into the deal with Norwich, Norwich would normally include a £500k clause with Leicester - with the £250k owed from the original transfer being paid...

    Another nice bit of cash coming CCFC's way if he plays

    Match Thread Coventry City v Sunderland match thread Saturday 29 Sep

    Would've taken 1-1 before the game, but Chaplin's miss at the end was a sickener. For a player we're spending £500k on, he has to bag them. JCH was immense, lead the line incredibly. Sterling's best game for City by far. Would've liked to see Robins make another change when JCH and Shipley were...

    Loaning our players restriction ?

    I like this idea. You just know clubs would try to counter it by saying "Okay then, well now we've got an Under 19s squad and an Under 21s squad to go along with the 18s and 23s."

    Would you want to see this at the Ricoh?

    At a quarter-full Ricoh? ABSOLUTELY NOT In actual big games where there's a full crowd? Hell yeah.

    Arsenal "Highlights"

    I know he hasn't played for a while, but WOW Kelly looks so slow compared to a real football player.

    Shipley definitely could be. But I don't think Bayliss is a possession midfielder at all. More of one to bomb on forward out of midfield.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Arsenal U21 Match Thread - Wednesday 12th Sep

    It's exactly this. Looking down the spine of the team, we have two options with our squad: 1) Players that can run fast/all day but get scared with the ball at their feet - Willis, Kelly, Ogogo, Davies. 2) Comfortable with the ball but can't run - Doyle, Andreu. The team is in desperate need...

    Their captain was Julio Pleguezuelo - a CB who's had 2 loan spells in the Spanish 2nd division. I do hope Robins is making some contacts with Arsenal this morning about getting one or two in. We need players in CB and CM who are comfortable on the ball.

    To the guys that went - would you have any of the Arsenal U21s here on loan? If so, who?

    I have no doubt that people already have - and have no doubt that it pisses viewers off. It's not the way I'd want to run a site, but this is what the company does and we just have to make it as good (read: Profitable) as possible.

    I've highlighted a very pertinent point...and there's a way that sites get around it: by not getting into the story straight away. A lot of sites now (us included) will have 3-5 paragraphs of build-up before finally revealing the key piece of information a reader clicked on for. They serve ads...

    We do both. Every day we put out incredibly written 2,000-word features from well-known writers, but they don't perform anywhere near as well. People all clamour for better journalism, more quality sport-writing, but when 100,000 people click on a story written by one of our staff writers with...

    I work for a digital media company that has a rather large following on social media. Each month, we have meetings to come up with new ways to promote our content on the social pages and website to get more clicks. We will tweak the way we word headlines or taglines on the story. Without fail...
