I think the odds are that even if Wilson did want to stay, the owners will sell him. If they do that over SP's head he may not like it very much. My gut feel is that if we're still at Northampton next year Wilson will definitely go (to fund the shortfall), and SP may well go (combination of...

Joking aside, I think the Higgs/SISU court case will end up showing a lot of the evidence that SISU intend to put up for the JR. Should be interesting - that's on April 1st.

Blimey, that's keen. Is the team sheet available yet?

I remember Michael Owen having a blinder against us at Highfield Road - really was a different class that day. He got a deserved ovation from the whole ground when finally subbed. Proud to be a fan that day, never hurts to acknowledge true class, even in the opposition (imho).

Never works if you have to explain it :D Given all of the crap that was thrown at them last time, I suspect Steve will be delighted to be in Preston. Ahem. ;)

I'd agree with that. Interesting that my mate, a die-hard QPR fan, had never heard of him. Probably a good thing if we're trying to hold onto him. ;)

"Ignore" is rather excellent. It gives you the added satisfaction of knowing that anyone firing a cheap shot to try and get a rise out of you just ends up sitting there, frustrated. Cheers me up no end. Recommended. :) Edit: (There's only one on my list fwiw - don't doubt that I'm on few...

What, you mean this article here? http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/dec/02/coventry-city-owners-northampton-league-one-sisu No sign of a retraction - I guess on that basis that SISU's threats of legal action were a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. About time they...

Definitely a derogatory term, although I've only seen it used by Americans talking about the Vietnamese war. I watched Top Gear, and didn't notice this as aimed at anyone - this bridge really did have a slope (i.e. tilt) from one side to another. Maybe I missed the reference. I wouldn't put...

Could it be that the reason that SISU keep going on about it is to divert attention from all of the obvious questions about the accounts? If the SBT insisted that the board of CCFC were changed, because they couldn't trust (say) Fisher and Labovitch, what do you think SISU would say? The...

You know what, having seen that I genuinely feel a bit sorry for the bloke. All politics aside, he's still a human being - no one wants to be hated... surely he never meant it to go this way.

Hold up a second here - this is about LEPs and business initiatives, it's hardly tanks rolling over the border in a land grab for Nuneaton & Bedworth. Outside of local politics, I don't think this is particularly big story. I don't doubt that Coventry City Council has faults, but if you're...

Football League 'Rules', don't make me laugh. It's more like the Pirate's Code, and as you may recall from the movies 'the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.' :)

Yep, that's a fair shout - I wonder how much we're paying for him. The Walsall manager seemed to suggest quite a lot, but I sense that he was being a bit defensive there with regards to their own performance. Like you say, we'll see. I'd have thought Bigi is the sort of player that SP would...

Premiership club mate - even if he was right at the bottom of the players' salary scale he'd have to be on £4 - £5k per week. If he was being paid peanuts, Newcastle wouldn't be making noises about having a contribution to his wages, would they? When Westwood went to Sunderland as basically a...

Damn it, they've figured out my cunning plan. I work for the council. As soon as we know where they're planning the new ground, we're going to gazump the deal, buy the site and fill the land with nuclear waste. We'll also reposition our giant sun-blocking satellite (that we launched last year...

I think the big problem might be the significant contribution to the wages that Newcastle seem to want. Not sure we can afford that. Pity, because I think he could do a great job for us in L1.

Good work Simon, much appreciated this. Good to get the ML 'three-week' quote in again - it really bugs me that he tried to hide behind the 'misquoted' rubbish rather than simply admit he said it. Basically I think the whole article points further to how thin SISU's plan is for the new...

Huckerby - of course. How could I forget him. Mifsud too - fair shout. Isn't it nice to have more than one player in the team who is genuinely quick...

It's nice to have a bit of pace in the side for a change. Trying to remember the last real flyer we had. Kevin Gallacher was properly quick, but that was an awful long time ago. There must have been others since?!
