A match report in the Pink once said something like … “and moments later City were unlucky not to draw level when Cross hooked a shit just over”.

Nick - the site is normally pretty fast and reliable, but occasionally it will seem to pause for about 45 seconds. When that happens I always imagine you stopping your pedalling, wiping your brow, taking a few swigs from a tin of cold lager and then typing in a few quick rhetorical questions on...

As I understand it, the site being suggested is not the airport (or even the Gateway site), but just across the river from there in Rugby Borough’s territory. Administrative boundaries don’t matter much to me, and that is still pretty much Coventry. But one of the biggest problems people have...

Very sad to hear that. I seem to remember Ernie being part of an all-Scottish forward line (in the days when Nos. 7 to 11 were classed as the forwards). Hannigan, Baker, Martin, O’Rourke and Carr? Whether that’s true or not, he was certainly part of a Sky Blues team that did the city proud...

As I understand it we’re not talking about profits here, merely revenues. Wasps have gained control of the stadium business through the remarkable strategy of making an acceptable bid for it. CCFC get match-day revenues by virtue of paying an annual rental fee to Wasps, and presumably the...

Credit where it’s due to the owners of the club. 3 good moves recently – replacing Pressley (and just in time!); some excellent season ticket deals; and appointing Tony Mowbray on a permanent basis. No guarantee of a good season, but at least they are going about things the right way.

If I have to plump for one I’d say Dennis Mortimer, but I could mention Ronnie Rees, Bill Glazier, Ernie Hunt, Neil Martin, Gary Gillespie, Danny Thomas, Trevor Peake and Robbie Keane. Since we dropped out of the top flight, I’m sad to say that it’s impossible to think of anyone who has...

I don’t agree with all of the OP. but some fair points are made and it seems like an honest contribution to me. Really can’t see a need for some of the abusive responses.

All fair comments Chief – I wasn’t trying to box you into a corner or anything, just pointing out that maybe things are sometimes a bit more complex than you previously made out. I’ve already posted my genuine thoughts on Wasps (ad nauseam!), and clearly we won’t see eye-to-eye on that so I...

I had the impression from your previous posts that relocating sports teams was an absolutely black and white moral issue, and that anyone who didn’t see it that way was either hypocritical or plain stupid. Having just read this, I take it you now think it partly depends on the particular...

Haven’t read the thread, too little time. Rugby Borough’s area extends right to the fringes of the city, and that’s where I’d expect any proposed site to be. From my (admittedly partial) knowledge of the planning process, the important thing is whether a proposed development makes sense in...

Reminds me of Wilshire too. Potentially as good a young player as the club has ever produced, just needs to make sure that his confidence doesn't turn into over-confidence. I hope he takes your advice about sticking around, because Mogga would be a very good mentor for him. And I'd love to...

I think Blair Adams is far too good to drop down into League Two with Notts County. And we have been terrible at left back for most of the season.

Steady on Houch - hope it's decaff!

Credit where it’s due. The owners made absolutely the right call when they changed the manager – and just in time. I struggle to think of many (any?) other decisions they’ve ever got right, but for keeping us out of the fourth division I’m happy to say “well done”. Desperate I know, but these...

My thoughts entirely. Robins was on the cusp of really doing something, he asked for assurances and the next day cleared his desk. In the last 8 years there have been several times when we had the opportunity to take off – and so far the owners haven’t recognised a single one of them. Please...

Just to say I really feel for you after your friendly post yesterday. We’ve all been through torture this afternoon, so let’s hope we both have an exciting and successful time next season. In our case, we literally can’t even remember what that is like.

If Crawley score, Crewe only have to score once to go above us.

Yikes … here I was waiting nervously for the big kick-off at 3 o’clock!

You win, how can I disagree with that! I’ll let the mention of double standards pass, or we’ll be back to square one :) Btw to ChiefDave if you’re tuned in – although I mentioned you in my previous post, I’m really not upset with you either. We all care a lot about these things, and see...
