    Beard or no Beard?

    Have a full beard or clean shaven. The number of men who suit stubble is in single figures of a percentage. Blokes over 40 with stubble look like dirty old men, like Steptoe, for those who remember him. Stubble with a suit just looks so wrong, scruffy and slovenly. As it happens most women I...

    Buried or cremated?

    Cremated, then a proper funeral, none of this celebrating the life nonsense where people play flippant songs and people who barely knew you tell amusing anecdotes. Solemn, lots of weeping, committing the body in sure and certain hope stuff. Save all that looking back at the life and stories for...

    Coventry bookies favourite to be City of Culture 2021

    Pre-season

    Am I concerned about PSF results and form? No. Am I concerned the team and squad are not coming together in time for a positive start? Yes Do I think a positive start is important? Yes Do I trust TM to get a team sorted in due course? Yes, but it may be too little too late for this season...

    Mabbutts knee

    Micky Gynn. He was my favourite player in that era and he fluffed 2 decent openings. Failing that, Regis, who had a perfectly good goal ruled out for a push by Houchen, one that few refs, if any, would penalise today, even if they spotted it.

    NEWS : Cilla Black dies 40 years after her baby daughter passed away in Coventry

    Her version of "Anyone who had a heart" is simply sensational and is one of the few tracks that literally send shivers down a spine.

    Starting XI Now

    Team not strong enough, yet. squad not strong enough, yet. No gloating, just realism. Not doom and gloom, just acceptance that we are no further forward, YET. We need a lot more to be competitive.

    Being out of the country and not able to see a home game until mid September + not having much internet access in Amazonia so unable to read the meltdown on here when it starts badly. :guitar2:

    Season Ticket Sales

    I bet the person that wins already has access like the child who won the raffle on Legends day for the signed football went up 2 minutes later with matchball sponsors and received, guess what, another signed football. Rich kids get prizes!

    Double Signing Today?

    I cannot place any blame on fans who stay away. It is their choice when the owners refuse to invest any money why should fans? Before shooting me down, I have a season ticket and have persuaded 2 others to buy one too, but it's an act of blind faith and loyalty. Our owners don't deserve the fans...

    Any top half finish is more than welcome. I, for one, have no expectations of any higher than ninth.
