    More Wasps BS?

    I put a polite note on The Wasps Report twitter account (when they were crowing about their amazing new training ground news) to say that it would not be straightforward as its within the West Mids Green belt and also that Sports England (via Secretary Of State) may want to call in any planning...

    St Andrews

    Early Sunday lunchtime kick offs always shite atmospheres (except Cov-Everton '85 and Cov v Leeds semi '87) !

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

    Genuine situation as my line manager down here in Kent met panicking government officials from MHCLG yesterday! If no deal happens the official plan that has just been hashed together is that lorries/drivers without right paperwork will be put on a ferry at Dover and sent to Calais whereby the...

    3rd Kit

    Yeah the delightful seasick pitch.... Would be weird if City ever do build a stadium on it !!!!!

    3rd Kit

    Red and green should never be seen! Although actually for our Woodlands teams in 80s we played in red and green which looked pretty snazzy.

    3rd Kit

    Only game we potentially might need a 3rd kit for is Shrewsbury Town away as they play in yellow and blue? Can't recall exactly what their kit looks like this season though.

    Plan B?

    Very true Man City were equally pants. Loads of examples in all leagues at moment and maybe 'f***ing about with it at the back' has made more games interesting & entertaining. Perhaps offsetting the amount of goals VAR cancels out !!!!

    Historically who have City played the most....

    Where is the fun in that HBG? It was also trying to show my young lad about the 'joy of stats' and combining maths/ footy/Sky Blues for a school project. (Living in Kent and brainwashing my kids to support City requires, patience and creativity !)

    Historically who have City played the most....

    Yep since we were formed and does include cup games.

    Historically who have City played the most....

    Rough bit of research into who we have played the most over the years. I've always been curious as to who has perhaps shared a similar pattern of climbing up and falling down the Football league over the years (cup games included so may be slightly distorted...and my maths is dodgy). It sort of...

    Greta Thunberg / Climate Change Summit

    Fair play to Greta. She cares as do many other kids care passionately and really worry about the future of our planet and nature not sure enough of our politicians do. My 13yo daughter gets very emotional about it and lectures me all the time. Who in their right mind gives a flying f*** if...

    Another Shooting

    ...I sometimes wonder if the demand for drugs from wealthy/creative proffessionals makes drug gang crimes more likely ???

    Favourite football ground that no longer exists (excluding HR)

    Kirby Corner was quaint. Faintly remember watching Cov Sporting v CCFC Reserves there with my dad in late 70's/early 80s.

    Transfer Rumour What is it with shooting?

    Some valud points there PTG..... but that's one if the many difference between PL and L1, I suppose. Let's hope we pick up a few habits from Watford and pepper the goal a bit more v Oxford, but Robins aint doing much wrong and we have been relatively ruthless with the chances we've created this...

    Most stupid comments you expect to hear at games this season

    1. Man on 2. Fight fight wherever you may be, we are the boys from Coventry !!! (Cringe).

    Where is Rick Gekoski?

    That was a genuinely great book at a very interesting (and sadly contrasting) time in CCFC's history. Can't see the club doing this now as all parties too legally aware & PR savy. Hope Rick Gekoski is still a fan though as he seemed to care about the club.

    Tom Eaves to Hull

    News down here in Kent suggest Tom Eaves gone to Hull City on a free. He was just a s**t Andy Carroll though......!

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    have the same surname so we simply have to keep him!

    Confirmed - Gervane Kastaneer

    Big Mo was pretty decent!

    David Speedie

    Remember as a kid being on hols in France when back page headlines suddenly announced we were signing Speedie. I couldn't believe it. Shopping at Harrods we were . He had a stinker in Charity Shield but hit the ground running in first game v Spurs at HR after cup win. Took the piss out of...
