    this 5G malarky

    I agree. Using what Birmingham did with Brindley Place as inspiration they could've made this quite a destination with entertainment and dining next to the canal, possibly even with a bit of residential (which has been done to a degree with the student blocks). But instead it was chosen to be a...

    Do you think we will learn after this is all over?

    I think we'll see more of WFH etc, but it will depend on how the productivity looks I guess. I think beforehand people had been arguing for it but the older more luddite board members/managers would have resisted it and have had to have it forced on them. If it shows a better more efficient way...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    You're probably right but there is a danger with that. Shutting down in that short time frame means having to increasingly become self-sufficient in terms of food/power etc. While I've no issue with that on the whole it does give an 'in' to increasingly rampant nationalism, fear of foreigners...

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    That's why the big clubs are furloughing non-playing staff but not players. Wouldn't cover the time it takes to lace up their boots. And claiming £2.5k a month on a salary of half a million a month would look churlish and a PR disaster. Not that furloughing non-playing staff isn't. If you can...

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    Read the first line. I mention all those things and the difference in reporting. But you can't tell me that the standard response on here to any Wasps story wouldn't be to look at it in the most negative way possible. Like certain papers do with Sterling and other footballers or Kate/Meghan...

    Clutching at straws but as more people recover and will have the anti-bodies in their system the more potential raw material we have to create a vaccine.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Yep, well be seeing the fallout of this for years to come due to the increased susceptibility of those that had it, esp severe cases, picking up secondary infections in future. Worst case is this virus mutates enough for re-infection to be more likely. Spread quickly but not have the ability to...

    Mask or no mask?

    I think he was saying people's behaviour today will be twice as bad as yesterday rather than it affecting the 'figures'. If it does affect the figures we won't see it for two weeks or so as infections take hold of people and then their treatment over the following days.

    Do you think we will learn after this is all over?

    Nope. Back to normal. Cars everywhere for work (and visiting people they've not seen in a while), everyone will be wanting to get away ASAP after being cooped up. Everyone will be eating out or getting fast food as a treat so rubbish will be back. It will have given more ammo to the...

    City players who were panned, or not rated by most, but who you quite liked

    They were the weak link in some impressive attacking teams and were the reason we kept on struggling. Successful teams are built on defence and these two weren't up to the standard we needed them to be and we never pushed on because of it.. I actually felt they were liked far more than they...

    City players who were panned, or not rated by most, but who you quite liked

    He was brought in as a goalscorer, but not given the chance to show his worth in that respect. He was played out of position (as was Scowcroft) and his abilities didn't suit it. If you played Messi and Ronaldo as a centre half pairing they'd be shit. Never understood the move by managers to...

    City players who were panned, or not rated by most, but who you quite liked

    Afraid I have to disagree. McAllister you could see was looking for more intelligent balls that the players around him couldn't read. Arguably the same with Cole. Clingan and Hughes IMO didn't do this. They trapped the ball and passed it sideways or back often without so much as a glance to see...

    Pay cuts at Premier League clubs

    So what if they pay more actual tax - it's to do with the proportion of tax you pay. Now compared to most of the rich I'm sure footballers pay more of their share and that the tax they avoid is more to do with letting the accountants take care of their money. The nurses, delivery drivers, bin...

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    I agree with you in terms of Wasps have been praised by reducing pay and getting the govt to pay the rest without topping up whereas City have been ignored for paying the top up. That's biased. But the reception to when it was revealed that Wasps were using it compared to when it was revealed...

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    To be fair the CT coverage of it does look very biased towards Wasps. But if we're honest how many if the shoe had been on the other foot and it'd been Wasps taking advantage of the furlough scheme and City laying off people it'd be "Wasps cunts taking more state aid and taxpayer money to prop...

    And why would this be a surprise? If the US are unsure on what to do the go-to response is shoot it or bomb it. Our WI are known as Jam & Jerusalem. Their's should be Guns & God

    EFL Decision on Coventry’s future expected today

    As you've put yourself it could have a second or even third wave - we don't know. So we put this season 'to bed' to get next season started, it comes back or mutates and next season they have to bring in the restrictions again and you've then got two season's knackered instead of one. Pointless...

    Are the names the actual horses that were due to run of just randomly named? If so I'll have £10 on Shergar ridden by Lord Lucan to be winning at a canter before falling and disappearing at the final fence, with HoofHearted as an e/w.
