    Fans need to look in the mirror

    I know fans of many different clubs and they all admit they would have given up years ago and often ask me if I'm still bothering to go up the Ricoh and they laugh and shake head when I say yes. The club hasn't done anything to deserve the supporters they have in at least 30 years. We are just mugs.

    Should CCFC ever move from the Ricoh

    Yes. When our glorious leaders/owners take us back to the Premier league we will need a bigger stadium. It will need a 50,000 capacity.

    Slade eager to bolster attacking options

    I expect one striker in addition to loan, Vernam Plus one more midfielder, in addition to trialist, Samba. So definitely trying to get 3/4 more in. Vernam is an add on not the marquee signing Slade is after. Probably a beast of a centre forward.

    ins outs

    We have 4 loans left plus Slade has talked about freebies. I will be surprised if there aren't another 4 or 5 at least to come in. 2 strikers, 2 defenders, 1 midfield minimum, is what I expect.

    Religious intolerance

    For those who want a bit of intellectual rigour in their philosophy of religion I refer you to 1) The cosmological argument of Thomas Aquinas 2) The design argument of William Paley 3) The ontological argument of St. Anselm. All interesting. Wikipedia has very fine articles on these topics...

    Religious intolerance

    I would love you lot to come to my A level Philosophy of Religion lessons when I'm teaching arguments for the existence of God. Some of you have far more to contribute than my year 13s. Who said football fans are all yobs? Well done, chaps :bookworm: Now back to marking mock exam papers :banghead:

    Checkatrade - time to own up

    I have no intention of going to any game in this competition until it suits me. As others have said, those who have supported through thin and thinner, season ticket since early 70s in my case, are owed so much by this club after the crap way we have been treated and the bilge we have endured...

    U2-Joshua Tree

    The Joshua Tree was the soundtrack to that cup run for me, especially for the trips to Sheffield and all over in the Spring of 87. Could be why it is one of my all time favourite albums. I have seen U2 in concert ten times. The first time in 1981, I believe! No better live act IMHO

    A cartoon picture

    Nice nostalgic piece. Reminds me that I stood or sat in all areas of that stadium between 1970 and 2005. The Ricoh move has been disastrous in so many ways. :emoji_disappointed_relieved:

    Things that annoy you

    Bloke in front of me at the Tesco checkout had his many items lined up in single file, including a box of paracetamol so that he filled the entire belt with about 20 items. Consequently I could not start loading my shopping on to the belt for some time. WTF?

    Just watching the FA Cup build up

    Liverpool made 10 changes. No doubt lots of other Prem teams are playing weakened teams. Yet in the tournament designed for lower league teams we are only allowed a few changes so that the Prem teams can play their youngsters against strong opposition. Utter disgrace. No way will I ever watch...

    Here's what we should all do

    I disagree. I didn't get where I am today by not telling little people what to do. 68% of statistics are made up, including CCFC goals, points and honours stats.

    Bristol City set to sign centre back

    I hate the phrase "set to" which plagues football reporting. So, I am set to put the kettle on. Tomorrow I will be set to sign a greetings card and maybe I will be set to pay the milkman. Grrrr Sorry

    Will you be renewing/buying your season ticket next season

    I have a season ticket and have had one for donkey's years, except for the season at Northampton. I have not decided whether to renew next season but the following factors will influence my decision 1) what happens on the field, of course. Relegation, if it comes will not be the crucial factor...
