Nah, Wilder is a much shorter guy and has grey hair.

If I'm not mistaken, we turned down Kevin Keegan as a triallist because he was 'too small'. He might have strengthened our team of Kevs bit, and would no doubt relish playing alongside the stylish Kyle.

In our case, the war chest has been slammed shut

Sisu’s stadium strategy was based on a complacent assumption that they were the only game in town, trying to play financial hardball with local councillors and a charity, and pulling a bunch of smartarse moves like the golden share and the move to Northampton. Contracts all to be paid off by the...

I guess that's robbiethemole? Nice boots robbie ;)

Thunderbird 7. International Rescue’s new service, responding to urgent distress calls for replacement of life-threatening divots. I can hear the music now! But how do they deploy it? I think it would need to move a bit quicker to achieve take-off from that ramp that Thunderbird 2 used.

Fair comment Robbie, and I agree with the sentiment, but in practice if Wasps had been rejected on those grounds, SISU’s track record suggests they would have continued their distressing tactics until they got whatever they wanted. The interests of the Council, the charity and even the football...

Well it says it relates to an acre of “brownfield land” – at least nobody can argue with that ;)

Maton needs to own up to the reality that the Council’s Wasps project is in tatters. It’s easy to understand why capitulating to SISU was politically impossible, and how it became ‘anyone but SISU’. And with Wasps’ initial promises of investment and top-class sport in Coventry, I can see why...

Is it just me, or has Grendel gone all polite and helpful today, instead of patronising people with smug rhetorical questions and calling them clueless clowns? I think I may be falling a bit in love.

Good performance bar a number of needless errors, throwing away three points against a poor side. What a terrible week. Moore 5 Fine all round apart from the obvious howler, and keepers can’t afford big mistakes Hyam 6 Did his job Fadz 8 Wish he was in his twenties, we could build around him...

Appears to me from the BBC article that the Commonwealth Games stuff was arranged while we were at St. Andrews, so we wouldn't have been consulted, and after our return we requested playing a home game within the CG tenancy?

Interesting to hear that story about the origins of the term “Sky Blues”, and I didn’t realise it might have been almost an accidental change initially. But I was referring to the way JH pushed that new identity and revolutionised the club, and how keen he was to break with its previous...

I guess they’d be Players No. 6 and No. 10.

Didn’t Jimmy Hill ditch a lot of the club’s history (Bantams etc.) when he launched the Sky Blues? That worked out pretty well, and effectively created an instant tradition that still defines the club today. No doubt some of the older fans at that time hated all the new-fangled ideas and the...

Well if he hasn’t got an ACL he’s really in trouble…
