    Love snow

    More teacher bashing! 1) Teachers do not decide to shut schools and are not consulted over the decision. It is the decision of the Head teacher (the boss who is not a teacher any more) who consults with local authority for advice on roads, weather, buses etc, consults the site team / caretakers...

    Anti-snowflake Entertainment

    No, but in the modern world it would make more sense for there to be mixed teams of cheerleaders. Why shouldn't boys do this too?

    Anti-snowflake Entertainment

    Can we bring back pies in tins, toothpaste in tubs and woodbines in the corner of our mouths whilst we're at it? Maybe the players should go back to those micro shorts too. Not every change has to be resisted.

    The green green grass of home

    That metallic click sound the old turnstiles made, again, and again. The smell of cigarette smoke in the open air. The walk round behind the West End or Kop and first sight of the stands. Little kids with sky blue hand knitted bobble hats. Rattles and rosettes. The West end, united, will never...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Cambridge United Match Thread - Tuesday 30th Jan

    Attendance How many more times must it be said that a midweek evening in winter is a bummer for a lot of fans - who travel in from outside the immediate area, work, traffic, time you get home, work before and next day. - weather, cold, dark or wet. I am late 50s, tiring and demanding job, live...

    The Presidents Club

    Just because a few women like it, allegedly, doesn't mean that it isn't wrong. Some abused people don't recognise the abuse for what it is, or believe this is a natural state so why fight it, or believe the money is worth it. Sad, but true.

    The Presidents Club

    In addition the #metoo movement should not be dismissed as a bandwagon. Women of my generation, mid 50s, ALL, repeat ALL, will tell you they were groped, or harassed or worse when younger. Try asking them. It is high time that it was out in the open, not to witch hunt but telling the truth as...

    The Presidents Club

    Completely disagree. You are justifying gross behaviour. Those days are over and we all need to get used to it. If you research it you will find some negro slaves colluded with their slave owners and resisted their emancipation. Some women, especially young, good looking, fit women collude with...

    Big Cyrille

    Cyrille was as close to a God as a footballer can get. We all adored him. Words are insufficient. This is the first time a City player has died when I feel like a member of my family has died. Big tribute on Saturday please.

    Cyrille or Dion?

    Ignore the votes of anyone under 38 as they did not witness both players. Anyone that did would love Dion but there is no rival to King Cyrille. Everything about him was class and he was part of the cup winning team.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    FWIW I always think the, 'there must be life on other planets' argument no more plausible than the, 'there must be a creator who made everything' argument. No conclusive evidence, just conjecture. Why must there be?

    So Proud To Be A Coventry Fan Tonight

    Have to admit I didn't go but thrilled at this fantastic win. And yet, and yet, part of me hates the idea of CCFC as plucky giant killers. And let's not kid ourselves that the media is really interested in us. They are interested in the "story" of a Premier League club and manager brought low...
