    Ponticelli

    The Harry Kane thing was about how he can be slow to get going at the start of a season. The point was if you judged Harry Kane most season after the first half dozen games you'd have dropped him because he hadn't scored and missed some gilt edged chances. One he's up to speed though..... The...

    Ponticelli

    Not completely - he spent one season as an academy scholar rather than two after joining from Strachan. Plus Wilson never showed anywhere near as much promise in the academy as his career has gone on to prove. Admittedly he was used as both a striker and right sided forward during his stint...

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    If you think of that ladder as a step machine imagine how much time you'd have to spend on it to get the equivalent. Not to mention the walking and carrying of the ladder. I used to go up and down the stairs as exercise and it gets the heart pumping and the thighs toned really well. Really...

    Like Godden you mean?......:emoji_thinking: what about Baka? More experienced, been here over a year and still doesn't look like he's ever met his teammates most of the time.

    Ponticelli

    Ponticelli was given a pro contract at the end of the 2016/17. Mark Robins took over towards the end of that season. So who are the 'quite a few managers' who've judged him not up to standard? MR and at a push the current Tranmere manager where he's been for a month or so. Can't count last...

    I thought up one for Godden to the tune of Joan Osbourne - what if God was one of us? #Matty Godden's one of us# #He scores goals without a fuss# #You can't even park the bus# #When Matty Godden's in the zone# #Your defence will only moan# #As Matty Godden slots it home#

    Birmingham fan here

    I don't think we get the international breaks off. Depends on if we're due to play at St Andrews that week I guess.

    Positives

    Less criminal than scoring three at home, controlling much of the game, having twice as many chances and not winning.... Or if you're 3-1 up against 9 men.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Walsall Match Thread - Tuesday 3rd Sep

    I think we'll make a fair few changes. McFadz to come in as the experienced head and give Kelly the night off. I'd also be tempted to try something a bit different with O'Hare. Hiwula and Jobello have been very quiet in recent games so I wonder if O'Hare might be able able to play one of those...

    Match Thread Oxford United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    While it's disappointing to draw after being 2-0 up and retaking the lead in injury time after inviting pressure by sitting back (and they were putting us under enough pressure already). if you look at the game as a whole the draw is a decent result. Oxford were more threatening, had more of the...

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    I'd agree it probably depends on genetics as some people are more disposed to get things like diabetes or heart disease. Someone else with the diet of Trump would've died years ago from a heart attack. I think being totally sedentary isn't good, but being over the top with exercise etc isn't...

    Bury gone

    That would be a ballsy move, and probably one the PL would agree with. I think the initial reaction from fans, even those of the lower clubs, would be "great, no worry of relegation" but after a few years of constantly being at the bottom and losing more than winning even with spending £100m+ on...

    Explaining this stuff without getting technical or getting dull with the figures is difficult even to those that've studied it - it can be incredibly convoluted. OSB does a good job of getting the points across IMO. P&L losses aren't really relevant because they don't actually exist in...

    Sky Blue youth superstars who never made it...

    As we're talking about those that never made it, are we all in agreement that Callum Wilson is the one who's exceeded expectation the most? PL regular, England cap and all after two massive knee injuries. I felt he wouldn't be great shakes and wasn't sure he'd even get taken on from the academy...

    Sky Blue youth superstars who never made it...

    The injury did massively set him back. Not a technically gifted player but a player who leads by example in terms of effort. A good midfield disruptor - I thought he was going to take on the Mickey Doyle mantle.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm always wary about people displaying info like this - what are the actual figures though? They may have gone down, but if you start at say 70% even going down it still shows a lot of support. I found the Kantar spring 2018 results and in Germany 49% tend to trust the EU, 42% don't (rest...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Many Conservatives don't support no deal - if Alexander was confident that did he wouldn't have prorogued parliament, even with his very slim house majority. Despite many eventually voting for him in the leadership contest it was clear his biggest problem in the whole process was going to be...

    Should CCFC get on board with this?

    But so could lots of other people regarding things like asthma. The differences are: it's a natural process almost every single women goes through. is it's a hygiene and public health issue not just for those menstruating but everyone else. Imagine how dirty the toilets would get if toilet roll...
