    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...

    Owners Financials

    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...

    And when the rabid left wingers in Labour threaten it regarding Corbyn?

    Sky Blue youth superstars who never made it...

    Most of mine have been mentioned. Spong, Dahl, Giddings, Haynes Osbourne. To a lesser extent Davenport and Kirkland. Giddings got a horrible injury that really affected him but hadn't looked like living up to his potential before that. Osbourne seemed to be forever played out of position at RB...

    Maddison to Ireland?

    I think the thought is that any international appearance bonus/clause would only relate to while at Norwich rather than just 'at any point in his career' even if he'd been sold on. It can't just be tagged on indefinitely if a player moves. Depends on the wording in the contract I suppose. I...

    Transfer Rumour What is it with shooting?

    rocket surgery?! I don't have the brain science to comprehend that.

    Are SISU bad owners?

    As I said before the alternative was a rent protest rather than rent strike. Pay a reduced amount SISU thought was reasonable and leave it up to ACL to decide whether they should go into negotiations or chase the outstanding balance. Would've made them look a lot more reasonable than just not...

    Really like your posts - gets the points I want to say but in a much clearer way than I ever manage.

    I did say on the same rent and conditions.

    He just seems more involved and energetic in getting around. Plus I feel he's more likely to pop up with a goal. If Westbrooke is dropped it'll be for a more attacking option of either O'Hare or Allen so that'd be more useful than Westbrooke's contribution IMO. Of course if O'Hare and Allen are...

    Highfield Road Best Memories ?

    Yeah. 4-0 up before Clough hit a hat-trick before half time. I'm glad someone else thought Livingstone hit a hat-trick because I swore that's who it was too. But every report of the match says it was Gallagher

    Are SISU bad owners?

    He did alright for a bit to be fair to him, but I just felt he wasn't that great and would just be another on the merry-go-round and got rid of a year or two later. Still preferable to Coleman mind.
