    Match Thread Coventry City - Chesterfield Match Thread 1st Jan 2018

    It's so tight in the table that positions may come down to goal difference. We have the poorest goal difference of the current top 5 - several more goals would be good.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    Another theory I have read, from New Scientist I think (which can be silly at times), is that the Universe is a projection from elsewhere. If every quantum particle were mapped to something else, then the distance between two points in the original source may not be huge. This could also be a...

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    I can understand infinity as a mathematical concept: such as 1 divided by 0 or the fractal distance between two points (there are uncountably infinite real numbers). But when it comes to the universe it's similar to the idea of an infinite amount of Gods, each having created the one before. I...

    I got into Roy Harper from that album. The original of 'Another Day' is just as wonderful as TMC's cover.

    Played Treasure in the car a lot when my eldest was small. She used to keep saying that she wanted the Hocky Docky song. It took us a while to figure out she meant Domino. One of my favourite albums. I recall that This Mortal Coil released "It'll End in Tears" featuring Liz Fraser around...

    What are you currently listening to?

    One of the original shoegazing bands. I recently got into them too, alongside Slowdive. One criticism of Ride is that they couldn't decide what kind of band they wanted to be and seemed to follow trends - every album sounds different - changing to be like what was popular at the time.

    Wish he'd had the confidence to put his boot through the ball and shoot when he was through on goal though. Otherwise I agree.

    I only watched on a stream, which itself kept blanking out, so my opinion is not as good as others here. However I thought that DKE played very well, and that Doyle was excellent. I also think it's a possibility (and no more than that) that Duck was feigning injury due to petulance - simply...

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    A couple of points, the first to: A few years back I read a theory that this Universe had been created by a black hole within another Universe. The idea was that the black hole had become so heavy that it had punctured the fabric of the other Universe and matter had flooded out to create this...

    Possibly. But what a pessimistic viewpoint.

    Who could/should you have supported?

    Born in Coventry. Brought up in Coventry. First game at Highfield Road. Taken to Highfield Road by my Dad whenever he could get free tickets from work for years between 1970-76. Started going to Highfield Road with friends from school from 1977. So by rights I should be a Man Utd fan.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    Ghosts; out of body experiences; astrology; witchcraft; religion; aromatherapy; numerology; spirit guides; auto-writing; socialism; phrenology; fortune telling; faith healing; scientology; tarot cards... absolutely - all complete bollocks. But extra-terrestrial life is different. IMO.

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    No worries re opinions not meeting - nobody knows do they? I'm interested in other dimensions. I don't buy the parallel universes stuff - seems to be fanciful to me; but I can imagine other dimensions that we cannot perceive which might explain why the Universe is accelerating - or indeed what...

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    Extraterrestrial life of some description is a virtual certainty in my opinion, with or without this new report. Of all the planets in the Universe, given that we see life next to volcanic streams in the ocean and in the Arctic/Antarctic, there muse be one that could spawn microbes at the very...

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    It's human nature to be competitive. Competition drives advancement and that sometimes leads to being divisive and petty. It's equally likely that another intelligent race might have exactly the same issues.
