    German federal election

    I've been listening to interviews with German politicians on radio 4 over the past few days. It would be ridiculous to claim to know very much about German politics from that, but a few observations: - Merkel's party is supposed to be centre right, much like our Conservative party. She's...

    Professional Performance

    Thank you. You obviously get a much more balanced, pleasant kind of football fan in Devon. Looking forward to playing Tavistock now.

    Tin Star

    Watched it in 4 days, really enjoyed it. Agree there are some daft moments - a bit Coenesque, but very good nonetheless.

    Vincenti

    How can an untested proposition be a fact? I hope Haynes recovers soon too, but let's not over-egg it.

    Video Highlights | Cambridge U 2-1 Coventry

    He did - and completely lost the defenders with them. Just imagine if he's taken four steps, he may have scored two goals with one header.

    Video Highlights | Cambridge U 2-1 Coventry

    It's good movement and headers from Cambridge for both goals - must be difficult to defend against. We could do with a number 9 like that. The best missed chance for us looks like the Nazon one at the end - he should have done better. I hate to write it but if Jones keeps performing like that...

    Video Highlights | Cambridge U 2-1 Coventry

    From what I can see we lost because we used most of chances to shoot straight at the keeper and didn't mark their striker closely enough - he moves away from his marker too easily both times. Jones was unlucky to hit the bar with a smashing shot however.

    Appeal granted

    The Law is just playing SISU at their own game. Allow them to appeal and spend many more £000s on legal professionals and then judge against. It's the only language Joy understands.

    First Ever Cov Match You Saw ?

    The first I remember was Sheff United at home. I'm pretty sure I'd been to some before and recall this game I think because I made friends with a young Blades fan and we both stood next to the steel rail on the kop. It would have been about 1970ish - Tony Currie was playing. I also remember a...

    Charlie McCann

    This seems pretty paltry for a player going to Man U - even if they are as yet unproven. The lowest potential value in 5 years time is 0 - the highest could easily be £30m +. 'Rising to £500k' implies that Man U will have most of their risk mitigated (if he doesn't progress they lose only the...

    McDonald suspended

    No way - we'd win. We batter people in appeals.

    Can we win the league?

    Need to start scoring more goals before we talk of promotion.

    Video Highlights | Coventry 1-0 Port Vale

    I guess the ref saw it as obstruction - but if the Vale player hadn't shifted right they wouldn't have collided.

    Agreed. It looks like the guy runs into him.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Oooh, goody - this is my second favourite pointless argument that goes on and on repeating the same words ad infinitum. Can someone please write that SISU make a fortune out of the club now and I will be complete.
