    Virtual book club

    I'm away from home so I'll look at this on a big screen when back. What are your thoughts on it?

    Cute, so the inference is that liking books is so lame that only someone without any friends would do such a thing, correct?

    I'm sorry, you have lost me. I'm going to assume that "firm" is a typo for "team". The thing is, expressing a preference for A over B does not imply I do not like B.

    Sure. Go ahead and suggest something.

    Virtual book club

    This may bomb. Here's an idea: we choose a book, a piece of music and a piece of art. We read, listen and look and discuss. Selfishly, as I'm reading it presently, I suggest 'half a yellow sun' by Achebe as the novel - am only 100 pages in and it's excellent. First piece of music and art...

    Wearing Your Clubs Colours

    I've a knitted blue and white striped Man City scarf I bought on that day in Swindon in1987. I couldn't face the tv with my mates without something. It's now my favourite tribal guesture.

    And yet stupid is as stupid does. You aren't ever going to win an argument with the stupid.

    I wish there were an irreverent forum to discuss art, music and books. These interest me far more than football now.

    And btw, I understand the entertainment value for a few weeks. But this thing has gone on for years with the same cast.

    Ok, this will probably alienate everyone. I don't understand why everyone repeats the same old well-trodden arguments on almost every thread. Regulars already know each others' positions. We are a microcosm of society; the only thing we have in common is having been born in Coventry and...

    Wearing Your Clubs Colours

    I wear a scarf when I go but the shirt thing doesn't do it for me. Even as a tubby middle-aged git who has spent his life working for the man I prefer to wear something that I believe expresses my counter-culture attitude just a little.

    Armstrong - "I'll get my Hattrick next week"

    It does make me smile, there's never any sense of perspective on here; everything is black or white; one extreme or the other. On Friday Armstrong was nowt but an 18 year old kid to many; the side was going to play Wigan as sacrificial lambs without any hope and no goalscorers. Now Armstrong is...

    Wigan Athletic (Home) Match Thread

    This attack in theory is all about one touch triangles and the killer ball over the top or through a gap. Let's hope it works.

    Plans for the match

    I'm off to the Edinburgh festival tomorrow. Will be desperately trying to get the score in between shows.

    New signing tomorrow!?

    I'm hoping for a midfielder, so we can all go into meltdown again.

    CCFC sign midfielder Bryn Morris on loan deal

    I can understand your concerns about not having strikers in place yet. But I'm sure that's not from the want of trying to get them in earlier. Just because Vincelot signed earlier, surely it doesn't follow that he's the marquee signing? If anything, the delay tells us that we are hanging on...

    CCFC sign midfielder Bryn Morris on loan deal

    Sure but it isn't either/or. The strikers will come in as soon as they are available.
