He scores today!

A bit off piste, but can I say how much I enjoyed meeting, by chance, Ovduk 78 yesterday at Carlisle. He travels from the central belt of Scotland with his son to watch Cov, great supporters. They’re down for the Chesterfield game tomorrow - so good luck to the team and supporters tomorrow, and...

In terms of Stevenson, I wonder whether he has suffered from last season’s experience, when he was part of a young, inexperienced team that got bullied every week. In the game at Oxford (which was a real low point), he was crunched by some gorilla in the first two minutes, and like some of our...

It is very early days to judge, but so far, and based on yesterday’s game, I like the way he’s always looking to get on the front foot, and the way he drives forward with the ball. He looks to be the sort of player who really wants to make something happen, rather than just retain possession...

You’re giving Nazon too much credit. I don’t believe for a minute that his mind worked like that. He was purely playing selfishly.

I thought we played very well today. First half was quite flat, we were against the wind and held them quite comfortably, just one scare after a bit of a scramble. In the second half, we dominated possession and played some really good football. We played through them well along the ground, and...

I like the way we can always rely on Grendel to pour oil on troubled waters...

I prefer the dream version! Keep the faith, and well done for the effort!!

Ordered our tickets today, a home match for us, just 35 miles from our home in Hexham. They wouldn’t post them, so they’re supposed to be arriving on a supporter’s coach. I’m a bit nervous of this, the last time I was supposed to pick up tickets was Fleetwood away last season, and they never...

I went to an away game at Leeds with a friend from school, early Feb, season 68/69, we lost 3-0 (Clarke, Bremner, Giles, Hunter, Charlton etc). We stood with the 50 or so City fans that were there, and towards the end of the game, a load of Leeds fans came from their shed end (as happened at...

Oh blimey Otis, that’s tough. I think most people in this country would have a different view, although it doesn’t mean to say we’re right! I see that they’ve barred Navalny from running next year, it’s hard to see anybody beating Putin until he’s ready to go himself. Sorry to go off piste!

Is she Ukrainian then Otis? Or just a concerned citizen of the world?

You’ll be positive again tomorrow morning Otis!

Yeh, I always consider myself lucky, as well as God knows how many years of hurt, I had 3 or 4 years from 1963, when we used to roll teams over at home, won two promotions, and it was often a matter of not whether we would win but by how many. There’s been a few good times after those halcyon...

Tell you what Otis, a bit off post, but have a look at our results for 66/67, our famous promotion season. We lost at Huddersfield on November 19, and that was the last time we lost that season. 25 games, 15 wins, 10 draws, and we only won the league on the last game of the season! How much...

We are consistently inconsistent

I may think you’re wrong sometimes, but you’re a passionate Cov fan and that’s good enough for me - and I love it when love and peace breaks out between you and Otis!

That would be that that would be a good way to spend Christmas Eve! Anyway, good for you, grafting away whilst most of us are having a chilled evening, Hope the shift passes quickly and peacefully, and that you’re able to enjoy tomorrow.

Where you working Steve?

Boxing Day 1969. Cov 3 Ipswich 1. Goal scorers Ernie Hunt, Neil Martin and an own goal. Attendance 32,755. My last game as a Cov kid living in Coventry, two days later my Mum and Dad dragged me screaming and kicking to a new life in deepest, darkest Norfolk. You can take the kid out of Cov, but...
