    Robins pre-match ramble

    The game plan is to score lots of goals but not to concede any. I'd go further than Robins - I reckon if we can execute the plan we will win.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    All decisions should be backed with 100% turnout and 100% agreement. This is why we can never decide on what to have for dinner in our house. Just two of us left now, the others having starved to death over time. Once the last one goes the survivor gets to eat.

    Six Nations

    Good first half. This one is going to be close to the last minute. Looking forward to seeing the Vunipola brothers at some stage tomorrow. Also good to see Nowell gets a start.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You devil; how dare you make an excellent point! ;) I know why I think it's different and I know the points you are going to bring up in response and I'm going to have to say that in my opinion free market is better for that and we aren't going to reach a conclusion. But here goes. The free...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    OK, so you believe 330,000 more people (in addition to organic growth) per year is good for the country and we should just build more houses. Fair enough, I don't agree but neither of us know the sustainable number. But surely you must accept that there is a number which isn't sustainable? One...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I have no problem whatsoever with any individual that wants to come here to work and contribute. I agree that it's a massive compliment to our country. It's just a numbers issue to my mind, as Astute says.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You are right, I didn't mean mess around. I meant fuck around and disrupt democracy.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It's the complete freedom from having to be elected that has empowered them to mess around with the article 50 bill

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I may have written this here before, so apologies if I have. In my opinion the UK has been really smart in giving the vote. Even though I don't for a minute believe that it was the intention, by doing so we have avoided a far right group getting control in parliament. Le Pen and her mates in...

    This always sounded like cold war spy music to me.

    Prediction time - 11 games to go

    A big improvement but not enough to escape the drop. We will be relegated with two games remaining.

    So, who do we think are the Robins type players here

    Clarke is good for 10 (own) goals a season.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 4th Mar

    We've had goal scorers and sold them. Possibly someone that can score won't fit into our salary structure.

    Was lucky enough to go to Tokyo on work several years ago. It's a fantastic place; however the expectations on working hours are obscene. I left the office around 8pm and was one of the first to go. My wife & daughter came with me and had a great time. We went to Hakone one weekend and...

    Vinyl Records

    Too bad you lost it - I had three Japanese buyers fighting over it on ebay. I was surprised they'd even heard of the Wild Boys and asked the winner - he replied that he'd heard them fron the Sent from Coventry album. 81 was the year I left Cov in the autumn - so it's possible it was that summer.

    Vinyl Records

    I sold my old punk singles several years ago. Some went for quite a lot and others not, I guess it depends on what they are. Mostly it was the early singles from popular bands such as Joy Division; Dead or Alive and the Cure and obscure bands that sold well (Menace for example). The one I got...

    Best wishes Torch, hope it all pans out OK. My wife just the all clear after radiotherapy and chemo ending in December - the cancer has completely gone. They can do great things now.

    Six for me. Still play Grace often. They were playing Portishead on R6 last night - wonderful album.
