    Will Villa go down?

    A lad at work is a Villa fan. Really upset him today when I said in a nice loud voice, "I think the Villa are too good to go down". Accused me of tempting fate.:laugh:

    Downtown in Cov

    Sad to say, but the city centre is a shit hole. The Burges looks absolutely awful, really tatty. It's such a shame, it could be so much better. It looks like a street that the council has forgotten all about. Remember how it was in the 70's and 80's, a lot nicer than it is now. Very upsetting!!

    Majority of Cov fans have no passion or fight...

    Am sad to admit it but have not been up for a while. Can't stand the thought of giving any more money to SISU, knowing full well they are running the club into the ground. They are just bleeding us dry!! Don't know what the answer is, but as an individual, I won't throw more good money after...

    Dyslexia

    Not Bablake, I ain't made of money!!!!! It was Finham, which we were reliably told was one of the best state schools in Coventry at the time. Not so sure myself. Have since been told that the Headmaster has a similar attitude to Dyslexia, therefore nothing gets done. Breathtaking really!! Bit...

    Dyslexia

    Exactly right Otis, she was very good at maths but couldn't even begin to get her head around languages. At the time I put it down to lack of effort on her part. Have since heard that one very prominent school in Coventry does not even rocognise it as a condition!!

    Dyslexia

    My daughter was dignosed with dyslexia not long after she started University. It was spotted by one of her mates who had a bit of knowledge about the subject who suggested she get tested. Turned out it was quite profound, and the report that went with the diagnosis said that over the years she...

    Ken Dulieu

    How ever obscene having KD on the bench is, it has proved two things. Firstly that KD is so out of touch and deludud that he really should not be allowed anywhere near a football club, and secondly that Thorn has very little or no back bone. If he had he would have told KD to fuck off!!!!!

    Top 10 Hard Men

    I seem to remeber Graham Souness getting sent off when he was playing for Spurs reserves against Coventry reserves in the reserve team Cup Final at Highfield Road. It was about the fifth time he kicked Dennis Mortimer in the air before he got sent off!! A lot of older Liverpool fans reckon...

    Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito freed!

    I think she was guilty, but as soon as the might of the U.S. legal teams started fighting her case always thought the Italians would buckle and acquit her. Think the rules are different when its a U.S. citizen.

    Great Moments in film History

    There are two other good scenes in Goodfellas. When the Harry Hill marches across the street and pistol whips the the cocky bastard who tried it on with his misses is superb!!! Never get tired of seeing it. The other scene is great but more for its technical dimension. Its the scene where Harry...

    Great Moments in film History

    Agree about the Usual Suspects. The final scene as he gets into the Jag and is driven away is pure class!!!! Won't say any more than that but every time I watch that film I see something I didn't see before. Brilliant!!

    Fave Chippy in Cov

    Always go to the Marina at the bottom of St James' Lane. Never had a bad portion of fish and chips from there, always a queue therefore always freshly fried chips!!! The worst fish and chips I have ever eaten was from Gabriels in Earlsdon High Street. Disgusting!!!

    Do You Trust SISU?

    I don't trust them at all. They are a hedge fund, need I say more? That said I cannot think of the last set of owners I did trust. Can anyone else?

    Dale Farm Gypsies

    It's about time something like this happened. At last the authorities have grown some balls and decided that this is enough. These people have no respect for anyone except their own kind. They justify their appauling behaviour by hiding behind 'human rights' and some mythical traveller/gypsy...

    Daily Mail article on CCFC

    Don't think the council will ever trust SISU with any part of the Arena. Everyone but SISU believes that the fans have been lied to, frequently, over a long period of time. Thats not a good track record to have if you want to do business with a council who are answerable to the local population...
