    new statement

    If that wasn't really an option then why did the council say that it was at the point we returned? In the politest way that I can frame it, you shoot down your own argument here - the fact that you say the Ricoh needs the club shows that there was always a deal to be made... if it wasn't for...

    new statement

    Three options. Option 3: Build trust after the club returned and then look to do a deal at a later date. That was actually what the Council said at the point CCFC moved back, at the very point that they were negotiating secretly with Wasps. Another flat out lie. Just to be clear, the Ricoh...

    Groundshare back on

    I dunno, but if I bought a house in secret, with a sitting tenant that was in the midst of a huge and well-publicised legal dispute with the previous owner, then I wouldn't be surprised if I somehow got caught up in the middle of it. Would anyone else like to mask an apology for the franchise...

    Groundshare back on

    Exactly this. The EFL showed themselves for the kind of serial bottlers that they are with the farce around the Golden Share. There is no way they'll chuck us out, imho, they wouldn't have the guts to face SISU down. Anyone relying on the EFL to take any kind of stand on this is kidding...

    Shamima Begum Not Allowed Back.

    Again, lots of people seem to think this, but there's no evidence to support it that I can see. It's simply not true that religion causes more deaths than war, or that 80% of wars are caused by religion. I'm not saying this in particular to defend religion (people can believe what they want as...

    Shamima Begum Not Allowed Back.

    Oft quoted but never right, if you actually look at the numbers. If you're looking at deaths for non-religious war they massively outstrip those for religious conflict.

    Thanks but no thanks

    And what indication is there that she has either the will or ability to do that? If she wanted to martyr herself or her child for the cause she could have done so already one presumes, when she actually had the technology for it. Far from that, her primary reason for returning seems to be for...

    Thanks but no thanks

    You'd hang her, and presumably her unborn child, for what crime exactly? And for those who are scared of a 19-year-old pregnant girl, what threat has she actually offered? Not for the first time I don't quite get the hysteria. There are laws in place to deal with this if indeed she ever does...

    Thanks but no thanks

    What's Corbyn got to do with it? It cracks me up how the far right loonies want to stake a claim to patriotism as if if it's their own. It isn't, I'm as proud of being English as anyone, I'd just like a country where it's a bit fairer for everyone. Funnily enough the real patriots, the...

    Help needed

    Lots of good advice above. In terms of debt, remember that in broad terms they can't have what you haven't got, so don't head off to Wonga. If you get in touch with the people that you can't pay this month, then I don't think there will be an issue, at worst you're going to miss a month which...

    I'm In A Movie

    Also, despite mastering faster-than-light space travel, I need all your gold/oil/water/brains (delete as appropriate) and I appear to have left my critical IT infrastructure open to hacking with an old MacBook. Also my lasers fire in very slow bursts, with a peoww peoww noise, even in a vacuum...

    I'm In A Movie

    Always worth remembering that if you need to knock someone out quietly, a single blow with a blunt object to the back of head always works. Even better, they generally wake up a few seconds after you've gone (or have safely restrained them) with no ill effects. It sort of makes the whole...

    Chaplin Move Completed

    He's certainly not going to score many if he's being pulled back into midfield or over to the wing. To me he looks like the kind of striker who needs to be on the last defender's shoulder and getting on the end of fast low crosses and cutbacks in the box. Lobbing it up to him on the far...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    Which is fair enough, but that's twice on the bounce that we've needed to do it. I've no problem with him as a player, but if he's not yet fit enough for the full ninety then it means that you're always using a sub to cover him. There was a point late in the game yesterday where we had one...

    Taking the kids to the Southend Game... Advice needed!

    Typically enough the kids didn't come in the end! I still went though, enjoyed it too!

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    Have to be happy with that result. We were nothing like as fluid as we were against Charlton, but still worth the win, just, imho. The only thing I don't quite get is swapping the left backs over with twenty or so to go, again. To me that's a waste of a substitution if it's simply like for...

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    That was exactly my opinion on it fwiw, Otis. My thoughts were that he looks horribly low on confidence compared to how he was when he first came on the scene. Aren't these highs and lows to be expected from young players though? He's got some good skills and he doesn't hide even when it's...

    Done, sorted, tickets bought. Many thanks for all of the advice gents, very much appreciated. :)

    Taking the kids to the Southend Game... Advice needed!

    OK then, I've never taken the kids to a game at the Ricoh before, so apologies for the daft questions. I'm after a bit of help, where's the best place to sit given the youngest (at five) might find it a bit daunting? Also, what's the best way to buy tickets for kids these days - I normally...

    Trust response to Tim Fisher

    Who are the trust claiming to speak for these days? Despite signing up way back when, I can't remember the last time I was contacted by them. As long as they clearly state who they're actually putting out statements on behalf of (i.e. "Four members of the trust board met last night and decided...
