    Another signing next Monday

    We need one or two defenders now. The back five is unconvincing as a unit and only Ricketts and Reda are definite starters. Both full back positions need to be improved IMO. Stokes is OK but if I were TM I would be looking at him to face more competition. TM will not rest on his laurels and...

    Sudden selection delama!

    Lameiras is quality but he has been subbed twice recently and I think TM will rest him if Kent looks good in training. I would also expect him to pick Armstrong. So only changes I would expect are Kent in for Lameiras and Armstrong in for Tudgay. Of course we are just guessing but TM is a canny...

    Refugees welcome?

    Precisely. Of course we have to take people in under emergency circumstances but we cannot have emergency mode as the new normal. It seems imperative that countries get together and address migration as an issue for us all. It is unsustainable for millions of people to be on the move around the...

    Habitual exaggeration

    Do you suffer from OCD or are you just henpecked? Most of that sounds OTT. Whoever heard of a man dusting the bedroom? Only needs doing once a month at most.

    David Phillips is a Sky Blues legend. Time to drop this now. Twitter is like gossip, easily said should be quickly forgotten. PUSB

    Habitual exaggeration

    Sounds like you do very little between October and April, then. Outdoor chores only take up half the year on my experience. How often do you clean the loo? That needs doing 365 days per year. Watering plants and mowing take little time.

    What's your gripe?

    En suites. It's not normal to want to sleep next to where you wash, shave, piss and shit mate. Unless you're disabled it's bloody lazy too. I would make an exception for a guest room. It's all about distance from bodily functions not proximity thank you.

    Standing

    It's an all seater stadium and you can't stand, sorry. I agree they should provide a standing area but they don't so sorry again. If you stand you force others to stand. Many of our fans are children, women, short people, semi-disabled people with bad backs etc who cannot stand for 90+ minutes...

    Blog post about CCFC from a Luton fan

    It has been pointed out many times that clubs with much smaller fan bases than ours have had occasional "success". I expect the club to lead not the fans. The club has a hundred times better support than it deserves.

    Blog post about CCFC from a Luton fan

    I have watched City since 1970. There is no doubt in my mind that the club are serious underachievers and the cup win in 87 blinded many of us to that fact. It was, in many ways, the high point from which it has been downhill ever since. Let's also say the unsayable ... The cup win was a FLUKE...

    Hopes to bring in one of two

    Placed in one, not born in one. I doubt a pregnant woman could be reported as climbing into an animal trough to give birth!

    Sad To See Them Go

    John Hartson. I knew we were doomed once he was sold and I have never believed a word the club have said since.

    Tory Monopoly

    Agree the funding was Tory-lite. They should have used direct taxation to fund it. Eg. They should have revalued council tax and added layers above the top payers now. In London people in around £6m houses pay same council tax as those in £60m houses. Land tax should also have been adopted.

    Tory Monopoly

    Minimum wage, sure start, investment in schools and the building of state of the art hospitals last time. What state do you think Walsgrave hospital would be in by now if we had had only Tories in power? A disgrace, is my bet. In 2010 the global economic crisis meant the Labour government bailed...

    Tory Monopoly

    I am voting Cooper Burnham Kendall Corbyn. Labour party has always left the country in a better state, reference public goods and infrastructure. Tories always eat away at everything ordinary and non property owning people have struggled for.
