Maybe for some people a public forum is ideal for debating the complex off-field stuff, but when they want to chat about our 3rd Division football team they are more likely to do it over the breakfast table or in the pub? I’d most likely get into a thread about a big new signing, but probably...

Haven’t read the thread, looks like it has descended into the usual? Anyway, just to say that in the very brief time I’ve seen him on the field, Jones looked like a nailed-on fans’ favourite. Extremely pleased with this signing.

I agree - call me old fashioned, but you can't expect a team of lightweights to get promoted out of this league, no matter how good they are to watch. Some days, you need at least one brute up front, preferably a goal-scoring brute. And as you say, the others are then likely to score more...

Maybe that’s why I said that kind of team, rather than “that team”? Don’t get me wrong, I like TM because he’s a football man, but he tends to put his faith in playing 7 or 8 artists, helped out by 2 or 3 gladiators. IMO it needs to be more like 6 gladiators and 4 artists. So (purely as an...

The team that ended the game today was the smallest I can ever remember. Take out the GK and the centre halves, and you had Phillips, Vincelot, Hunt, Fleck, Cole, Lameiras, Armstrong and Jones. Does anyone think we could make a serious challenge next in this tough league next season with a...

“All aboard the Sky Blue Express for the Southern League Premier by 2032”!

Congratulations - I really hope that your new daughter has more reasons to cheer the Sky Blues than we've have in the last couple of decades.

Cheers Moff I did realise that your post wasn't directed at me, and nor was mine aimed at you. It was more of a desperate cry in the wind, after an unpopular statement became even more unpopular when shown to be true. Totally agree about needing to turn a corner. There hasn’t really been a...

It’s beginning to dawn on me that you have seriously, I mean seriously, devoted some of your precious time on this earth to somehow trawl back through my posts because you’ve got a little theory that I work for Wasps. It’s like McCarthyism on here, and by repeating your slur you’re planting it...

On the contrary, I get the point completely. That if you disagree with someone, you can take the piss out of them by quoting a mindless argument that they have never made.

Calista doesn’t really mind, he’s just a fake user created for Wasps PR purposes. The 53 years of loyal support for CCFC went out of the window when Wasps offered him top dollar :) For what it’s worth, it looks to me like there are crossed wires here, and Italia thought Grendel was claiming...

I like your style Grendel, I really do. Anyway, here’s the link. http://www.rugbynetwork.net/boards/read/s130.htm?129,14938011 'The biggest impact will be felt by the hospitality sector' Wasps say they had to move when plans for a new stadium fell through First published 12:00 Friday 10...

Couldn’t give a monkeys about who gives out free tickets or why, and I have no idea why some people are obsessed with it. I doubt if I’ve ever posted anything about it.

I'm sure it will be similar, because it remains my take on this subject, although I didn't actually refer back to whatever I wrote before. If there was a prize for repetition on here, you’d be somewhere near the top of the Premier League. Sorry if you recognised something from 2 years ago :)...

I'm sure I read that in recent years at Adams Park, 80% of Wasps STH's were from the Wycombe area, so in effect they'd already turned over their support from one place to another. I realise that two wrongs don't make a right, and moving to Coventry was basically a second offence. But it tends...

It's a fair point - although I have to say that it took me precisely half a second to decide that I wouldn't go to games in Northampton, even though Mr. Fisher presumed I would. That boycott by the vast majority of City supporters was in itself a protest, and it kicked in on day one.

The protests against Northampton weren't fancy notions about being opposed to franchised sport. It was much simpler - Coventry City have to play in Coventry. Strange that you can so easily dismiss the march in Cov and the season-long hill protests by CCFC fans. Yet you endlessly argue a moral...

I’ve never been in the “hate Wasps” camp, but I’m always willing to be persuaded by proper arguments / evidence, and the list of comments you posted is quite distressing – thanks for unearthing them CD, because I had looked in vain a few times for such stuff on the web. It’s never nice to see...

The Telegraph says "It will be the highest level of the sport to be played in the city", so I presume they mean Rugby League, or maybe Rugby as a whole? Can't help thinking that some people keep looking for spin when it isn't there.

50 games in the first team, and how many games at all the other levels? Better judges than me clearly regard him as a full back, and they're the ones who make the decisions. And presumably Phillips himself thinks that's his best position. But it doesn't stop me having a different opinion -...
