    cap one cup 3rd round

    Maybe from Coventry but not from Dudley where I live. Just checked, last train back leaves Euston at 5 past 9. So that's 2 season tickets that will not be going. Don't understand what all the fuss is about.. Seen City play Arsenal many times. Hope you youngsters enjoy it. PUSB

    cap one cup 3rd round

    With some jobs it is impossible to choose days off ... So that leaves a hefty percentage of fans out.

    cap one cup 3rd round

    Anyone who works normal hours would be hard pushed to get to north London by 7.45. Wouldn't even consider it myself. Part timers, students and the work shy only?

    We have a much better chance of promotion than Blues have... PUSB

    Things we found out tonight

    1. Baker can really dazzle. 2. Hussey is not a lost cause. 3. Edgy... What a beast. 4. Brown is a decent centre back. 5. Kilbane is capable of a high level of fitness. 6. Ball is yet to convince as a centre forward. Feel free to add...

    sacking AT is a terrible decision

    I heard only one Thorn out in block 22 23 stairway. Still the most vocal fans are on the forums and appear to have wanted AT gone. Fisher has acted before the gates plunge even lower. I think AT lost the dressing room long ago but that may not reflect badly on him but the prima donnas we employ...

    sacking AT is a terrible decision

    SISU sacked AT because the fans had turned against him, simple as that. A new cycle will begin now and will end the same way unless something of substance changes: money is spent (unlikely) or the people of Coventry decide to support the team in numbers, regardless of performances, results etc...

    Westwood

    Astute, Apart from the lazy sexism you only have to read football forums to know that men are king when it comes to moaning... On Westwood, he is a good keeper but not Prem standard IMO. I said when he left he would be a bench warmer in a Prem team. The problem is there are plenty of decent...

    CCFC staff posting on Sky Blues Talk

    I'm Ethel, the tea lady. My boys keep me informed... Thorn likes 3 sugars in his tea ... But due to cuts they are only allowed one and the biscuit budget has been slashed. No hobnobs unless you count Sheff.

    New Striker

    We desperately need another centre forward who is a goalscorer. Successful teams have at least 3 prolific scorers. We have Cody and ... er ... a few chipping in, possibly Fleck, Elliott, Ball or Sheff will chip in with a good number. It will not be enough, though. Cody and one other must score...

    The Ricoh Experiance

    Beer and pop are meant to be consumed at room temperature [this really is not worthy of the adjective "warm"]. Hate it when I am served either very cold as the drink is both tasteless and painful to drink. ;)

    So let's have your MOtM

    Elliott, closely followed by Wood and Jennings. Honourable mention to Malaga. Only Brown disappointed.

    Your expectations for tonight?

    IMO we are much better when we have a positive attacking intent. Need to go all out for win tonight. A defeat or draw is much easier to take if you know your side went for it... And a defeat so early on would be easier to get over than one later in the season.

    Rubbish midfield since relegation from Premiership

    The fact that you bracket Sammy with Freddy means that a reasoned debate is unlikely. Freddy was overweight, unfit, refused to go out on loan etc. Sammy performed underpar according to his critics. No other criticism of him like he didn't try or didn't care can be substantiated with evidence...

    Rubbish midfield since relegation from Premiership

    Oh well. Opinions are what forums are about.

    Coventry away support

    In the last 40 years, yes. Mainly because most are pissed up, angry and disgruntled. Atmosphere is like a bad night in the roughest pub you ever saw. Many would happily abuse and pick fights with other City fans.

    Rubbish midfield since relegation from Premiership

    I agree. Doyle is emblematic of our decline. We have had poor midfielders throughout our time since the turn of the millennium. As I've said before we are far too critical of midfielders on the whole and tend to pick on individuals ... And argue about whose fault everything is. They should...

    Atmosphere at Yeovil

    Low home crowds are not as shaming as high away followings in which a large, vocal minority behave like cavemen. That is far more likely to be noticed by fans of other clubs. Look at how the likes of Leeds, West Ham and Millwall are regarded.
