First time I've been for a while, but have to say I was impressed today, not just with team, but with the fans too. Maybe it's because we're down to the hard core, but I liked the fact that they didn't get after the players even when we were struggling in patches. I thought we did enough for...

I'll add my best wishes here too. Merry Christmas to everyone, especially to those that I may have offended at some point. We're all fans after all, and we all want a successful team to follow. Here's hoping Santa Claus can get us the points on Boxing Day - we could use a big lad up front who...

There's always a chance mate. There's a lot of points in this Cov team, but they've got to get on the front foot and cut out the silly errors. Nottingham will be favourites, but don't rule out a Cov win. If you can make it I'm sure you'll have a good time regardless, I hear they'll be...

Seeing goals from Big Cyrille popping up on Twitter from time to time always cheers me up. Most recently the winning header in the 4-3 against Spurs, and that cracking shot in the FA Cup QF against Wednesday... Still can't believe he's gone, what a man!

You're mistaking correlation for causation here. The reason Cov RFC are doing well is that they've invested shrewdly in the team, got a very smart man at the helm in Rowland Winter, and got themselves promoted. So, nothing at all to do with Wasps, who if anything will be having a negative...

Fair enough, but to me it's a pretty fine line between expectance and acceptance. I think far too many people are willing to accept Council chicanery here because of who it's affected (i.e. SISU). If I deliberately and clearly misled a customer in this way, then I'd expect to be disciplined if...

Ah, that probably explains why my Brexit Bondage Brigade isn't growing as quickly as I'd hoped...

I can only think we're going beyond racism here, and into the sphere of serious mental illness or impairment. It's some kind of bizarre attention seeking behaviour, imho. Regardless, I'm all for getting them into a place where they can't harm themselves or anyone else, and especially the kid.

It's not naive to expect elected officials and their officers to tell the truth. Indeed that's absolutely the minimum standard that should be accepted for anyone in public office. Again, if this was about anything but beating SISU there would be an awful lot more outrage, imho. The Council...

Politely, I don't see it that way. I don't see anyone going to watch CRFC as a protest against Wasps. The effect of them moving here is much more likely to have diluted support than increased it, especially when they choose to play on the same days as Cov. For a team that's just been...

The key phrase that you're missing here is 'in spite of'. I was at the club a few days after the deal went through and CRFC were patently not happy. Similarly it was stated that Wasps would play on Sundays to avoid clashing with CRFC fixtures. More bullshit, it turns out.... CRFC certainly...

What the Council and Wasps were thinking, quite clearly, is that they would say any old bullshit to get the deal through. There was no mention of it being time limited, it was an absolutely unambiguous statement - the Wasps deal would not impact either CCFC or CRFC negatively. That was what...

I have absolutely no idea where this misplaced optimism comes from, but I really fancy us for this. I don't think there's much between the teams and if we can get behind the lads from the start I think we can rattle them. Nothing scientific then, just a belief that we're still a good side with...

I'll have to let you do the digging, but at the time of the Wasps deal the council claimed that Wasps would bring millions of pounds into the City's economy. Even it they were making it up a bit to justify the deal (they were), then it's obvious that the football club would be worth at least as...

After the cup game at Wembley I witnessed some horrendous racial abuse of a security guard by some knuckle dragging Neanderthal egged on by a few of his mates. All of them were Cov fans. I've seldom felt as angry, but like everyone else around, and there were a lot of people about, I did...

Wouldn't have been much point in catching it after it had smashed I do hope you're not trying to diminish my greatest ever achievement, that would be mean. :)

Just the other day I opened the cupboard in the kitchen, and a glass that had been resting against the door tumbled out. Quick as a flash, I caught it, left-handed, in a pinch grip on the top, just before it smashed against the worktop. I turned around, cool as you like, and not a single...

Not for the first time, I find myself wondering why accountants make accounts so bloody obscure. It's to keep yourselves employed, isn't it OSB? :)

It's not a mistake mate, imho, it's entirely deliberate. SISU genuinely believe that there's a chance of winning this, and in truth I think there still is until the whole legal process has been exhausted. It's a very remote chance I suspect, but it's enough to keep them digging away at it...

It's funny that, because right up until they sold the ground in secret to Wasps the Coventry taxpayer was told that the ground was doing fine. Hell we even put another 14m of our cash into it. (Voted for in another meeting they wanted to keep secret). So don't give me all this bollocks about...
