    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Rochdale Match Thread - Saturday 16th Nov

    Shout out to Mason on his return - he's a really decent player. Worried by Drysdale's pace but he's only 19 and has been thrown in.

    Greggs - apologies if this has been covered before. But what's the story behind the owl if I can ask? That owl is obviously iconic on this site and we deserve to know!

    Absolutely brilliant Fatso - made me laugh! You could also add to this list: Benno turning up pissed on the radio and shouting 'Zainbrooke' for 90 minutes Burge committing a couple of blunders and SBT exploding in joy Taxi for Robins - after a worthy 0-0 draw against promotion rivals An...

    FA Cup Second Round Draw

    I was wrong - that game was also on ITV. Final year of Division 1.

    No moron. I did not respond to your stupid point.

    I've decided to have a moron free day - better for my mental well being. So not going to bother to respond.

    FA Cup Second Round Draw

    Wild guess without looking this up. Was it the year that Leeds won the league and we played at Elland Road on a bank holiday or something similar?

    FA Cup Second Round Draw

    I remember going to a game at Norwich on the supporter's coach with a police escort in the final stages. Unfortunately it was the one supporter's coach (i.e. our only supporter's coach) which was about half full. So not quite the dramatic impact of 35 coach loads of boozed up lads shouting on...

    Is Maddison a joker?

    Harry Kane is a poor man's Dion Dublin. Only half joking as well. Remember Kane is playing in more dominant teams.

    This is exactly what I've been saying for years. It drives me crazy when some of the usual suspects on here write about L1 footballers and say: "he's shite at football." They simply have no idea as to what it takes to get to pro level.

    FA Cup Second Round Draw

    Hopefully not with lads queuing up to get in as soon as the doors open at 11am. That's really depressing. Especially if I'm in the queue.

    FA Cup Second Round Draw

    Anyone got any special memories of Ipswich games if we play them? I remember the game at Portman Rd in the relegation season. Sort of a must win to have a reasonable chance of not going down. I think we'd been on a decent run as well with the arrival of Hartson. Typically Bellamy missed a...

    Times article on Keith Houchen

    Houchen's Head - I stand corrected! I was too young to watch Bobby McDonald play and also Tommy H! As you say I've only heard good things about Bobby - a Sky Blue legend.

    Times article on Keith Houchen

    I agree. Emerson was a really significant loss in our history. A fantastic all round midfielder who would have gone onto great things. McGrath was a very effective defensive player in his era though - and played very high class midfielders out of the game. But certainly agree that Lloydy's...

    Times article on Keith Houchen

    More than understand that JHB. Very different players. I see there's a real argument for playing McGrath as the defensive midfielder in a midfield 3. He'd do brilliantly. But in my dream 1988-89 team above (which could have happened if we had played the transfer market differently); I just...

    Times article on Keith Houchen

    I've got mixed feelings on the book. Enjoyed the early years and the glory years with CCFC. Then the book descended into a series of rants and raves at officials as Houch seriously struggled with managing in the lower leagues. Kind of depressing. It seems to be fair that Houch is a very...

    Times article on Keith Houchen

    Could not agree more Legia. It was mismanagement at it's very best in not securing Pearce on a long term contract. From his very first appearances it was obvious that he was a very strong and dynamic player - destined for a very good career. We've had exceptional right backs in the time...

    We want to go home.

    You should invite Gregg and his Owl along as well for a proper SBT dust up. I'd pay good money to see you lot fight it out - even if just for comedy value. My money would be on the Owl to fly out victorious.
