Cov travel to Ealing tomorrow hoping for a couple of points to ensure a home tie in the M. Mouse Cup quarter finals. Ealing have selected a rather odd (forwards-heavy - no pun) squad, which could hurt them should Cov break a few of their backs' legs, so could be interesting. Marc McNulty's...

I'd say so, yes.

I can (both).

Wood Wood? Or Lonely?

That was his brother Tom. This is getting silly now.

I think someone once said that Neil Back went to Woodlands. But I may be mistaken.

Possibly. Me too. Gary, apparently is a different fella entirely. Perhaps just playing at a local level like most of us keeps the head level? Same with John Cockerill. Really nice guy, unlike his fancy-Dan brother. John played for Newbold for many years. (Frighteningly fast driver though, as I...

A bit? He's a feckin tosspot arrogant twat (I was quite a few years ahead of you and him at Woodlands). As is Cockerill. I knew the latter when he was a kid running round the village like he owned it. Don't know what it is about Tigers and arrogant players. Dean Richards was (is) just the same...

Cockerill is from Leamington Hastings, Johnson from Solihull, Richards from Nuneaton, Garf was a Binley Park boy, Rowntree from Burbage, Back a Woodlands boy. The rest quoted are from much further afield (Middlesbrough, Liverpool etc, and one was born in Malaysia). When Cov slipped backwards and...

They're infighting again: Quote: kentwasp1 Quote: Matt82 Agree with Shugs that we have plenty of good players in the squad. It's poor coaching that's the issue Maybe Matt but rot stops at the top and Eastwood to me is the main man. A bean counter from the RFU now out of his depth with Wasps and...

Yep. Spot on. Arguably the best side in the country in the seventies. A good friend of mine propped in the same Rugby Lions side as Steve Brain who was poached from Cov. There were several more. Look where that got RL. Basically bankrupt and demoted to the bottom of the ladder. Cov, even though...

Must admit I have little interest in cricket nowadays, but followed it fairly closely back in Bob's day. Great character and bowler. Rest easy Bob.

It goes to show what expectations are. I was kinda expecting about 2300 or more, so when JB announced 2067 or thereabouts I was a little disappointed. However, on reflection, with Ampthill bringing precisely two men and no dog, I suppose it's not bad. Nearby (to Amps) Bedford would probably have...

Only one pro game in Coventry for rugby fans to attend that day; Coventry vs Nottingham.

Somewhat irrelevant as he's not been a cuckoo for quite a while now. However, All Black outside half Lima Sopoaga IS a Wasps player and is now being reported as jumping ship when his current two year contract ends (not taking up the option of a third year). More interesting than jungle shite...

The Hud was good. Gould, not so old. But better. (IMO. Ducks for cover).

And Worcester do appear to have acquired the remaining stocks of Titanic paint.

He really isn't. I do wonder though (as he's now bought a house on the Leics border and is much closer to Tigers' training ground than Wasps' proposed one) if he's lined up for the Leicester job? Geordan Murphy's position looks a little shaky there just now. Could work out well for Young.

Dai's a very decent man. I have no problem with him personally. Hopefully when his team go bang he can find a club that can use his genuine talents.

'AlfromCov', who changed his Cov- supporter moniker to 'AlCovWasp' and then back again, is an utter bell-end, just like his dad Ron who used to be the Ball Boy Supervisor (how's that for a wanky title?) at Butts Park Arena. They had an utterly faux falling out with Cov several years ago (2012 at...
