    Coventry's most important/memorable games

    Probably have to include the Wolves game where we won promotion in 1967 and was our highest ever attendance. In terms of memorable, but overall not important, the 5-4 League Cup win against Nottingham Forest in 1990. 4 up in about half an hour including a Kevin Gallagher hat-trick. Forest got...

    New Job Doubts

    While I understand FP's point, I'm someone who has over the years learned to trust my instincts. They're not foolproof but they're there for a reason. I've had things where I've thought 'I don't think I'm going to fit in here' but gone ahead with it anyway and ended up hating it. I get the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sunak maybe would be tougher for Starmer, but I think he would have the slight upper hand as he'd be going up against someone more like him rather than fighting the personality. He's used to that in court and I think he'd feel more comfortable with it. And does stuff like that really matter in...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    He's reasonably popular because he's not everywhere and still largely an unknown despite being Chancellor. Make him Leader and have him front and centre and I think it'd evaporate over the following year or two. Nick Clegg was popular for a while... As you say the thing people don't like is his...

    Well, if he'd had a penalty he would have finished 3rd, not 2nd which could be significant in the title races. Also, if the criteria is causing an accident what about when drivers change direction when defending or just something as simple as speeding in the pitlane. If there isn't an accident...

    Yorkshire Cricket racism scandal

    I think you've maybe gone all in in defence of the country there. The country isn't the worst in the world by a long stretch but it's by no means the best, either by 'soft' measures or metrics that are listed and ranked. Compared to many countries we are largely tolerant and stuff like racism...

    All purpose cricket thread

    There are now the claims from Essex and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if similar stories weren't coming out of a lot of counties. It's a game synonomous with being run by old middle-class white men. It has probably been ignored because as far as those running the game are concerned all of it...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    When it first started I think the cost was est. £30bn. On a different site I said it'd be more like £80bn, be at least a decade late and eventually only the London-Birmingham leg would be done because the project was all about improving link to London and they wanted to use BHX as a further...

    He's an excellent driver. But only in quali. He's only allowed to drive the car on Saturday's.

    Which is why these moments of doubt are only fleeting. But they're there, and I think it's healthy to have that little bit of doubt about things. If you don't you're probably not going to last long. It's about making sure those doubts don't get out of control.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There are still the very rare bad reactions and side effects, which despite the very very tiny chance of it happening there is a brief moment where you wonder 'what if...?' Then there's trusting the actual person doing it because if you've had a bad blood test or whatever in the past where...

    Has someone started a counter-spreadsheet, keeping track of all Grendel's views, opinions and comments?

    I think everyone has that to some degree. I did. But it's healthy to have a small degree of uncertainty or even fear. It takes a lot of trust to let someone, often a complete stranger, inject something into you - you are pretty much at their mercy.

    I think Max didn't turn towards Lewis, but he most definitely didn't make the effort he could have to stop his car running wide. His entire intention was to force Lewis wide and off the track. But he also knew he wouldn't be able to do it again without getting penalised. When Lewis did overtake...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    What about the people that feel they are being put in danger by people being selfish? If lockdowns did happen again the first people affected would be the vulnerable and elderly. Is it right that they should be deliberately and systematically segregated from the rest of us against their will...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    This is exactly the point. The issues we make of other governments not trying to stop illegal immigrants moving on is a chain that goes back. The fact we're an island means that we don't have any means to 'pass them on', but I bet if we did we wouldn't do much to discourage them. If Scotland...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    What are you talking about? I'm putting forward a reason why we will see more immigration in the coming decades and what we need to do (but aren't) to try and reduce that. None of what I said involved offering people housing, netflix or air-conditioning. It involves keeping the places they...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    Strange that only a few months ago the government were talking about the low birthrate in this country would lead to economic stagnation and trying to convince more people to have children. Wonder why they're trying to load this island with more people, especially ones that will only be taking...
