Yes, I followed the same thought process as you. Assuming we weren’t three at the back, somebody has to play alongside Blockley, and of all the others Clements seems the least unlikely. There just aren’t enough defensive players in the team, and it’s a puzzle – especially as the table shows we...

No, it's giving you Super Powers!

Apparently the Beatles split up, but more importantly Wolves 0 City 1, and a place in Europe clinched! I was there as a youngster but I only have a few dim and random memories, including it being a night game, the rickety roofline of the old Molyneux stands, and Neil Martin having to change his...

Yes, Perdomo’s wiki page is hilariously damning isn’t it! The Sampdoria coach said his dog was a better player. But the guy hit the greatest pass I’ve ever seen. From the centre circle, he set it off about 20 yards wide of the corner flag, and then it boomeranged like a golf shot into a gale...

In doing the football pools, you know in advance that the panel might have to sit. And of course the panel can have absolutely no knowledge of which individuals their decisions could benefit. Some random person gets lucky, other people lose out, but nobody can accuse them of bias. It seems...

Glad you and your kid are enjoying it so much Pasty! Is that statistic correct? If so, it's terrifying and a real indicator of how little joy we've had for the last half century. Very proud of what the manager and team are doing now, just need to keep it up.

You don't remember 63-64?! Top of the Third Division has a weirdly familiar look about it to us old 'uns:)

If we could have the kit on the left for home matches, I don’t see there being many complaints. Can’t see any evidence that Leipzig ever actually played in the sky blue one though – maybe it was just a Pro Evo Soccer thing?

Split ends

I was thinking the same the other day. We now have the best midfield squad since we dropped out of the Prem, with Westbrooke & Shipley on the bench.

Maybe Matt has an appointment at the salon?

No doubt Brum will fancy their chances more if they can take us back to their place for a replay

If he gets us promoted all the way into the top flight, provides sell-out entertainment and sets the whole of Coventry and Warwickshire alight with passion for CCFC, then yes. I like Robins and he’s doing a good job with this team, but the Jimmy Hill era was something else entirely.

Anyone who compares Robins’ impact with Jimmy Hill wasn’t around in the 1960’s. But from the (admittedly limited) times I’ve seen us this season I’d say this could be the best footballing side we’ve had since dropping into the third tier (including the purple patches we had under Robins before...

Feeling brain dead and completely overwhelmed by problems atm, so despite my triumph last year there’s no way I can compete in this. Several of these have me stumped but I was interested to see the photo of the left mid in his advanced years, still recognisable. An out-and out winger really...

I believe I was a glorious joint winner last year. But deciphering the clues nearly cost me my sanity, and this year I suspect won’t have time. However, I’ve got the first two answers and it’s pretty addictive! Anyway, all credit to Grendel for taking the trouble to entertain us with this, and...

LOL - even more annoyed I missed it now. Yes, Shippers is a good lad, and all credit to him for winning people round with his performances on the pitch. You could always see he had the ability for a good career, but It must have been tough to ignore all the idiots slagging him off in his first...

Cheers GMLK - btw which former player was there last night? You could always call the well known Lillington kid Cozy Powell to drum up support.

Sounds like a nice event and I wish I’d been there, but I didn’t see this until it was too late – some very long days at the moment and I don’t have time to trawl the web all day like some of you wasters ;) Sky Blue Harry H it would be great if you (or somebody) could post a notice about these...

I think Houchen’s all-round performances in the cup-winning season are underrated, possibly because that moment in the final became so famous. He certainly wasn’t out of place in the top flight that year. He was absolutely outstanding, a proper centre forward, plenty of skill, reliable and...
